Sams-Zgame 137

1 Babilonima me'nea tintamimofo ankenarega mani'neta, Jerusalemi kumakura tagesa nentahita zavira te'none.

By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,

2 Zavenama neheta zagame'ma nehuna hapuramina, wilo zafaramimpi runtani'none.

Hanging our instruments of music on the trees by the waterside.

3 Na'ankure kinama hurante'naza vahe'mo'za tagrikura, zagame nehinketa antahisune hu'za kazikazi hu'naze. Tatama tami'za tazeri havizama nehaza vahe'mo'za hu'za Saioni agonamofo agirevare zagamera nehinketa musena hamneno hu'za tutu hu'naze.

For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.

4 Ana hianagi ru vahe mopafima emani'nonana inankna huta Ra Anumzamofo zagamera hugahune?

How may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?

5 Nagrama Jerusalemi kuma'mokagu'ma nagane'ma kanisugeno'a, naza tamaga'amo'ma eri'zama e'neria eri'zana mago'enena e'origahie.

If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art.

6 Nagrama Jerusalemi kuma'mokagu'ma nagane'ma nekani'na, Jerusalemi kuma'mokagu'ma ugota musezani'a mani'nane hu'nama osanugeno'a, nagefunamo'a marerino navagu'nafare ome rukamaresie.

If I let you go out of my thoughts, and if I do not put Jerusalem before my greatest joy, let my tongue be fixed to the roof of my mouth.

7 Babiloni vahe'mo'zama Jerusalemi kuma'ma ha'ma eme hunte'za eri'za zupama, Idomu vahe'mo'za hu'za, Jerusalemi kumara maka tapage tapagu hutrenkeno havizantfa hinoma hu'za kezama ati'naza zankura, Ra Anumzamoka kaganera okanio.

O Lord, keep in mind against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; how they said, Let it be uncovered, uncovered even to its base.

8 Babiloni kuma'moka havizantfa hugahananki kagesa antahio. Tagrite'ma hurante'nana avu'ava zante'ma, nonama hugantesia vahe'mo'a muse hugahie.

O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.

9 Ana'ma hania vahe'mo'a Babiloni kuma'moka ne'onse mofavre nagaka'a zamazeriteno, haveraminte ruhapakopatino zmahegahie.

Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks.
