Psalmorum 137

1 David Hieremiae super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus cum recordaremur Sion

Naʻa mau nofo ki lalo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Papilone, ʻio, naʻa mau tangi ʻi heʻemau manatu ki Saione.

2 in salicibus in medio eius suspendimus organa nostra

Naʻa mau tautau ʻemau ngaahi haʻape, ʻi he ngaahi uilou ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia.

3 quia illic interrogaverunt nos qui captivos duxerunt nos verba cantionum et qui abduxerunt nos hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion

He naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻekinautolu naʻa nau fakapōpulaʻi ʻakimautolu ke mau hiva; pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakimautolu naʻa nau fekau ke mau fiefia, ʻonau pehē, “Hiva mai kiate kimautolu ʻi he ngaahi hiva ʻo Saione.”

4 quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena

‌ʻE fēfē ʻemau hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ʻa Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻoe muli?

5 si oblitus fuero tui Hierusalem oblivioni detur dextera mea

Kapau te u fakangalongaloʻi koe, ʻE Selūsalema, tuku ke ngalo ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu hono faiva.

6 adhereat lingua mea faucibus meis si non meminero tui si non praeposuero Hierusalem in principio laetitiae meae

Kapau ʻe ʻikai te u manatu kiate koe, tuku ke pikitai ʻa hoku ʻelelo ki hoku ʻaoʻingutu; ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u hiki māʻolunga hake ʻa Selūsalema ʻi hoku fungani fiefiaʻanga.

7 memor esto Domine filiorum Edom diem Hierusalem qui dicunt exinanite exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea

Manatu, ʻE Sihova, ki he fānau ʻa ʻItomi, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Selūsalema; naʻa nau pehē, “Fakaʻauha ia! Fakaʻauha ia, ʻo aʻu ki hono tuʻunga!”

8 filia Babylonis misera beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis

‌ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Papilone, ʻe fakaʻauha koe; ʻe monūʻia ia, ʻaia te ne totongi kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai kiate kimautolu.

9 beatus qui tenebit et adlidet parvulos tuos ad petram

‌ʻE monūʻia ia, ʻaia te ne toʻo ʻo laiki hoʻo fānau iiki ki he maka.
