Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
1Babylon tuiva ah te ka ngol uh tih Zion ka poek uh vaengah ka rhap uh.
2There on the willows we hung our harps,
2A khui kah tuirhi dongah ka rhotoeng te ka bang uh.
3for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”
3Kaimih aka sol rhoek kaimih te laa ol hnap n'dawt uh. Kaimih aka parhaengkung long khaw, “Zion laa te kaimih ham kohoenah neh hlai uh lah,” a ti uh.
4How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?
4Balae tih BOEIPA laa he kholong kho ah ka hlai uh eh?
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.
5Jerusalem nang te kan hnilh atah ka bantang kut he hnilh uh saeh.
6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!
6Nang te kan thoelh pawt tih, Jerusalem te ka kohoenah somtung la ka pacuet pawt atah ka lai he ka dang la kap uh saeh.
7Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”
7BOEIPA aw Jerusalem tue vaengkah Edom koca rhoek loh, “A khoengim duela kingling uh kingling uh,” a ti uh te poek pah.
8O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.
8Hlang aka rhoelrhak Babylon nu aw, kaimih taengah na saii bangla na thaphu te namah taengah aka thuung tah a yoethen.
9Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
9Na camoe rhoek te a tuuk tih, thaelpang dongah aka phop tah a yoethen.
