Sabuurradii 137

1 Waxaannu ag fadhiisannay webiyaashii Baabuloon, Oo waannu ooynay markii aannu Siyoon soo xusuusannay.

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2 Oo waxaannu kataaradahayagii sudhannay geedaha safsaafkaa.

There on the willows we hung our harps,

3 Waayo, kuwii maxaabiis ahaanta noo watay ayaa halkaas gabayo nagu weyddiistay, Oo kuwii na silciyey ayaa farxad na weyddiistay, oo waxay nagu yidhaahdeen, Noogu gabya gabayadii Siyoon midkood.

for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”

4 Bal sidee baannu gabaygii Rabbiga ugu gabaynaa Dal qalaad dhexdiis?

How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?

5 Yeruusaalemay, haddaan ku illoobo, Gacantayda midig ha illowdo sancadeedii.

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

6 Carrabkayguna ha ku dhego dhanxanagga afkayga, Haddaanan ku xusuusan, Iyo haddaanan Yeruusaalem ka sii jeclaan Farxaddayda ugu weyn.

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

7 Rabbiyow, soo xusuuso reer Edom, Kuwaasoo maalintii Yeruusaalem yidhi, Dumiya, dumiya, tan iyo aasaaskeeda.

Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 Gabadha Baabuloonay, waa lagu baabbi'in doonaa, Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii kaa abaalmariya Sidii aad nagu samaysay.

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

9 Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii dhallaankaaga qabsada Oo dhagaxa weyn ku dul tuura.

Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
