Salamo 137

1 Teo amoron’ ny onin’ i Babylona no nipetrahanay, Sady nitomanianay, raha nahatsiaro an’ i Ziona.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2 Teo amin’ ny hazomalahelo teo afovoan’ i Babylona No nanantonanay ny lokanganay.

We hanged our harps on the willows in the middle thereof.

3 Fa teo dia nangataka anay hihira izay namabo anay; Ary izay nampahory anay nangataka anay hanao fifaliana ka nanao hoe: Manaova hiran’ i Ziona eto anatrehanay.

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 Nefa ho nataontsika ahoana no fihira ny fihiran’ i Jehovah Tany an-tany nivahiniana?

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

5 Raha manadino anao aho, ry Jerosalema ô, Aoka kosa ny tanako ankavanana mba hanadino.

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

6 Raha tsy mahatsiaro anao aho, Aoka ny lelako hiraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniko, Raha tsy Jerosalema no ataoko ambony indrindra amin’ ny fifaliako rehetra.

If I do not remember you, let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 Jehovah ô, tsarovy amin’ ny taranak’ i Edoma Ny andron’ i Jerosalema, Dia ireo izay nanao hoe: Ravao, ravao izy Hatramin’ ny fanorenany.

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.

8 Ry Babylona zanakavavy izay efa resy, Sambatra izay mamaly anao Araka izay nataonao taminay.

O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.

9 Sambatra izay maka ny zanakao madinika ka manjera azy ho torotoro, Amin’ ny harambato.

Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
