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.

Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up 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 they that led us captive required of us songs, 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!

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; 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, against the children of Edom 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, that 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 rock.
