Psalm 137

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

BY the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

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

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

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 they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

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

How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?

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

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

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!

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief 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 children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

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

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

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

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
