Psalmi 137

1 Na vodama Vavilonskim sjeðasmo i plakasmo opominjuæi se Siona.

For David, [a Psalm] of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.

2 O vrbama sred njega vješasmo harfe svoje.

We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

3 Ondje iskahu koji nas zarobiše da pjevamo, i koji nas oboriše da se veselimo: “pjevajte nam pjesmu Sionsku.”

For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away [asked] a hymn, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Sion.

4 Kako æemo pjevati pjesmu Gospodnju u zemlji tuðoj?

How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

5 Ako zaboravim tebe, Jerusalime, neka me zaboravi desnica moja.

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill].

6 Neka prione jezik moj za usta moja, ako tebe ne uspamtim, ako ne uzdržim Jerusalima svrh veselja svojega.

May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

7 Napomeni, Gospode, sinovima Edomovijem dan Jerusalimski, kad govoriše: raskopajte, raskopajte ga do temelja.

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even to its foundations.

8 Kæeri Vavilonska, krvnico, blago onome ko ti plati za djelo koje si nama uèinila!

Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.

9 Blago onome koji uzme i razbije djecu tvoju o kamen.

Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.
