< Psalm 137 >

1 Ke kut muta sisken infacl Babylon, Kut tung we ke kut esamak Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 Kut srupusrak harp natusr Ulun sak willow su tu siskasr.
On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.
3 Elos su sruokkuti elos sap kut in on; Elos sap kut in akpwaryalos, Ac fahk, “Yuk soko on ke acn Zion kut in lohng.”
For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."
4 Kut ac on fuka soko on nu sin LEUM GOD In sie facl sac?
How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?
5 Lela tuh nga in tia sifil ku in srital ke harp Nga fin mulkinkomla, Jerusalem!
If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
6 Lela nga in tia sifil ku in on Nga fin tia esam kom, Nga fin tia nunku mu kom pa mwe insewowo yohk emeet luk uh!
Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 O LEUM GOD, esam ma mwet Edom elos tuh oru Ke len se sruhu acn Jerusalem. Esam lah elos tuh fahk, “Sukella! Sukella nwe ke musalsalu fin fohk uh!”
Remember, LORD, against the descendants of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, "Raze it. Raze it even to its foundation."
8 Babylon, kom ac fah kunausyukla. Insewowo elos su fah folokin nu sum Ma kom tuh oru nu sesr —
Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be blessed who rewards you, as you have served us.
9 Su ac fah eisla tulik fusr nutuwos Ac sakunulos fin eot uh.
Blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
