Psalmi 137

1 Na vodama Vavilonskim sjeðasmo i plakasmo opominjuæi se Siona.

By the riuers of Babel we sate, and there wee wept, when we remembred Zion.

2 O vrbama sred njega vješasmo harfe svoje.

Wee hanged our harpes vpon the willowes in the middes thereof.

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

Then they that ledde vs captiues, required of vs songs and mirth, when wee had hanged vp our harpes, saying, Sing vs one of the songs of Zion.

4 Kako æemo pjevati pjesmu Gospodnju u zemlji tuðoj?

Howe shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord in a strange land?

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

If I forget thee, O Ierusalem, let my right hand forget to play.

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

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ierusalem to my chiefe ioy.

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

Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Ierusalem, which saide, Rase it, rase it to the foundation thereof.

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

O daughter of Babel, worthy to be destroyed, blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast serued vs.

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

Blessed shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones.
