Sabuurradii 137

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

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2 Oo waxaannu kataaradahayagii sudhannay geedaha safsaafkaa.

We hanged our harps on the willows in the middle thereof.

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 they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

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

How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?

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

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

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

If I do not remember you, let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

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

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.

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

O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.

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

Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
