Psalm 137

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

By rivers of Babylon—There we sat, Indeed, we wept when we remembered Zion.

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

We hung our harps on willows in its midst.

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 asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers—joy: “Sing to us of a song of Zion.”

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

How do we sing the song of YHWH, On the land of a stranger?

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

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgets!

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!

My tongue cleaves to my palate, If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt 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, YHWH, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, “Raze, raze to its foundation!”

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

O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the blessedness of him who repays to you your deed, That you have done to us.

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

O the blessedness of him who seizes, and has dashed your sucklings on the rock!
