Salamo 137

1 Tañ’olon-tsaka e Bavele eo, ty nitoboha’ay naho nirovetse, t’ie nahatiahy i Tsiône.

At [the] rivers of - Babylon there we sat also we wept when remembered we Zion.

2 Amo sohihy añivo’eo ty nandradoradoa’ay o marovani’aio,

On poplars in [the] midst of it we hung up harps our.

3 Teo ty nihalalia’ o mpanese anaio sabo, naho nipaia’ o mpampisoañ’ anaio rebeke, ami’ty hoe: Isabò o sabo’ i Tsiôneo.

For there they asked us captors our words of a song and mockers our gladness sing for us one of [the] song[s] of Zion.

4 Aa vaho akore ty hisaboentika ty sabo’ Iehovà an-tanen’ ambahiny atoy?

How? will we sing [the] song of Yahweh on ground of foreignness.

5 Naho haliñoko irehe ry Ierosalaime, le angao ho kombimba ty sirako havana.

If I will forget you O Jerusalem may it forget right [hand] my.

6 Adono hipitek’ ami’ty lañilañiko ty lelako, naho tsy mahatiahy azo iraho, lehe tsy aonjoko ambone’ ze mahafale ahiko iaby t’Ierosalaime.

May it cleave tongue my - to palate my if not I will remember you if not I will lift up Jerusalem above [the] chief of joy my.

7 Tiahio ry Iehovà ty kabò’o amo nte Edomeo tañ’andro’ Ierosalaime: Rotsaho! hoe iereo, akoromaho pak’amo mananta’eo!

Remember O Yahweh - to [the] people of Edom [the] day of Jerusalem who were saying lay bare - lay bare to the foundation in it.

8 Ry anak-ampela’ i Bavele, harotsake irehe, haha ty hañavak’azo amy nañondroha’o ama’aio.

O daughter of Babylon that is about to be destroyed how blessed! [is one] who he will repay to you dealing your that you dealt to us.

9 Fale ty handrambe o anak’ajaja’oo, handretsake iareo an-damilamy eo.

How blessed! - [is one] who he will seize and he will smash children your to the rock.
