Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
1KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel o ja n eja n , ni ni tamanda Jion.
2There on the willows we hung our harps,
2Kit la n adar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi waja o.
3for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”
3Pwe me jali kit edi inda, jen kaul, o jen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai o n kit kaul apot duen Jion.
4How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?
4Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul n il leowa nan jap en men wai?
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.
5Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierujalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pu n monokinokla.
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!
6Lo i pan paj o n pan n ata n at ai, ma i jolar pan taman uk adar, ma i jolar pan peren kida Ierujalem mon meakaroj.
7Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”
7Mai n leowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en lerujalem Kawela, kawela lao Iel o n nan pwel!
8O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.
8Toun Papel, morjued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai o n uk duen me koe wiadar!
9Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
9Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum jeri pwelel o kajuk pajan nin takai!
