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.

Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up 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 they that led us captive required of us songs, 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 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.

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; 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 Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase 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, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

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

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
