1Babylon vapui taengah, kang hnut o, ue, Zion to ka poek o naah, ka qah o.
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2Katoengnawk doeh tui taeng ih thing tanghang nuiah ka bang o.
2Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.
3To ah kaom kaicae misong ah naeh kaminawk mah laasak hanah ang pacae o; kaicae pacaekthlaek kaminawk mah anghoehaih laasak hanah ang pacae o; Zion laa maeto sah o noek khae, tiah ang naa o.
3For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.'
4Kawbangmaw Angraeng ih laa to minawk prae ah ka sah o thai tih?
4How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?
5Aw Jerusalem, nang to kang pahnet o ving nahaeloe, ka bantang ban mah a sakthaihaih to pahnet roep nasoe.
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6Nang to kang panoek o ai boeh moe, kang hoe o haih koek Jerusalem to ka pakoeh o ai boeh nahaeloe, ka palai hae pakha ranuiah angbet caeng nasoe.
6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.
7Aw Angraeng, Jerusalem amtimh na niah, im hmuen to phrae oh, phrae oh, tiah kathui Edom kaminawk to poek ah.
7Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'
8Amrosak thaih, Aw Babylon canu, kaicae nuiah na sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, na nuiah sah pathok kami loe tahamhoih.
8O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.
9Na caa nawktanawk to lak moe, thlung nuiah va kami loe tahamhoih.
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
