Psalms 137

1 For David, [a Psalm] of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.

KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel akan o sangesang, ni at tamanda Sion.

2 We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

Kit langadar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi wasa o,

3 For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away [asked] a hymn, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Sion.

Pwe me sali kit edi inda, sen kaul, o sen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai ong kit kaul apot duen Sion.

4 How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul ong Ieowa nan sap en men wai?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill].

Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierusalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pan monokinokla.

6 May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

Lo i pan pas ong pan ngatangat ai, ma i solar pan taman uk adar, ma i solar pan peren kida Ierusalem mon meakaros.

7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even to its foundations.

Maing Ieowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en Ierusalem: Kawela, kawela lao lel ong nan pwel!

8 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us.

Toun Papel, morsued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai ong uk duen me koe wiadar!

9 Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.

Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum seri pwelel o kasuk pasang nin takai!
