Sams-Zgame 137

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

By the rivers of Babylon [Confusion], there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].

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

On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

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 led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]!”

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

How can we sing Adonai’s song in a foreign 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 forget you, Jerusalem [City of peace], let my right hand forget its skill.

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.

Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you; if I don’t prefer Jerusalem [City of peace] above my chief joy.

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.

Remember, Adonai, against the children of Edom [Red], the day of Jerusalem [City of peace]; who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

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

Daughter of Babylon [Confusion], doomed to destruction, he will be happy who rewards you, as you have served us.

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

Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
