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, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

2 Oo waxaannu kataaradahayagii sudhannay geedaha safsaafkaa.

We hung our harps on the willows in the midst 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 who carried us away captive required of us a song; They who wasted us required of us mirth: “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 thee, 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 thee, Let my tongue cleave 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! against the children of Edom The day of the calamity of Jerusalem! Who said, “Raze it, Raze it 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, thou destroyer! Happy be he who requiteth thee As thou hast dealt with us!

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

Happy be he who seizeth thy little ones And dasheth them against the stones!
