Psalm 137

1 Ke kut muta sisken infacl Babylon, Kut tung we ke kut esamak Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2 Kut srupusrak harp natusr Ulun sak willow su tu siskasr.

There on the willows we hung our harps,

3 Elos su sruokkuti elos sap kut in on; Elos sap kut in akpwaryalos, Ac fahk, “Yuk soko on ke acn Zion kut in lohng.”

for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”

4 Kut ac on fuka soko on nu sin LEUM GOD In sie facl sac?

How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?

5 Lela tuh nga in tia sifil ku in srital ke harp Nga fin mulkinkomla, Jerusalem!

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

6 Lela nga in tia sifil ku in on Nga fin tia esam kom, Nga fin tia nunku mu kom pa mwe insewowo yohk emeet luk uh!

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

7 O LEUM GOD, esam ma mwet Edom elos tuh oru Ke len se sruhu acn Jerusalem. Esam lah elos tuh fahk, “Sukella! Sukella nwe ke musalsalu fin fohk uh!”

Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 Babylon, kom ac fah kunausyukla. Insewowo elos su fah folokin nu sum Ma kom tuh oru nu sesr —

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

9 Su ac fah eisla tulik fusr nutuwos Ac sakunulos fin eot uh.

Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
