< Sams-Zgame 137 >
1 Babilonima me'nea tintamimofo ankenarega mani'neta, Jerusalemi kumakura tagesa nentahita zavira te'none.
Kando ya mito ya Babeli tuliketi na tulilia tulipokumbuka kuhusu Sayuni.
2 Zavenama neheta zagame'ma nehuna hapuramina, wilo zafaramimpi runtani'none.
Tulitundika vinubi vyetu kwenye miti ya Babylon.
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.
Huko watekaji wetu walitaka tuwaimbie, na wale walio tudhihaki walitutaka sisi tufurahi, wakisema, “Tuimbieni moja ya nyimbo za Sayuni.”
4 Ana hianagi ru vahe mopafima emani'nonana inankna huta Ra Anumzamofo zagamera hugahune?
Tungewezaje kuimba wimbo unaomuhusu Yahwe katika nchi ya ugeni?
5 Nagrama Jerusalemi kuma'mokagu'ma nagane'ma kanisugeno'a, naza tamaga'amo'ma eri'zama e'neria eri'zana mago'enena e'origahie.
Kama nikikusahau wewe, Yerusalemu, basi mkono wangu wa kuume na usahau ujuzi wake.
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.
Ulimi wangu na ushikamane juu ya kinywa changu kama nisipokufikiria tena, na kama sipendelei zaidi Yerusalemu kuliko furaha yangu kuu.
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.
Kumbuka, Ee Yahwe, kile walichofanya Waedomu siku ya anguko la Yerusalemu. Walisema, “Ibomoeni, ibomoeni mpaka chini kwenye misingi yake.”
8 Babiloni kuma'moka havizantfa hugahananki kagesa antahio. Tagrite'ma hurante'nana avu'ava zante'ma, nonama hugantesia vahe'mo'a muse hugahie.
Binti za Babeli, hivi karibuni wataharibiwa- mtu na abalikiwe, yeyote atakaye walipizia yale mliotufanyia sisi.
9 Ana'ma hania vahe'mo'a Babiloni kuma'moka ne'onse mofavre nagaka'a zamazeriteno, haveraminte ruhapakopatino zmahegahie.
Mtu na abarikiwe, yeyote achukuaye na kusambaratisha watoto wenu juu ya jiwe.
