Psalmi 137

1 Ob babilonskih rekah, tam smo se usedli; da, jokali smo, ko smo se spominjali Siona.

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

2 Svoje harfe smo obesili na vrbe v njegovi sredi.

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

3 Kajti tam so tisti, ki so nas odvedli proč ujete, od nas zahtevali pesem in tisti, ki so nas opustošili, so od nas zahtevali veselje, rekoč: »Zapojte nam eno izmed sionskih pesmi.«

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 Kako naj bi v tuji deželi peli Gospodovo pesem?

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

5 Če jaz pozabim tebe, oh Jeruzalem, naj moja desnica pozabi svojo spretnost.

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

6 Če se te jaz ne spomnim, naj se moj jezik prilepi k nebu mojih ust, če ne povišam Jeruzalema nad svojo glavno radost.

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 Spomni se, oh Gospod, na Jeruzalemov dan otrok Edóma, ki so rekli: »Izbrišite ga, izbrišite ga, celo do njegovih temeljev.«

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 Oh hči babilonska, ki boš uničena, srečen bo tisti, ki te poplača, kakor si nam ti služila.

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 Srečen bo tisti, ki zgrabi in trešči tvoje malčke ob kamne.

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