Halelu 137
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1MA na muliwai o Babulona, malaila kakou i noho iho ai, A uwe aku la i ko kakou hoomanao ana ia Ziona.
1By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
2Ma na wilou maloko olaila, I kaulai ai makou i ko makou mea kani.
2There on the willows we hung our harps,
3No ka mea, malaila, noi mai ka poe i lawe pio ia makou, I na olelo o ke oli; A o ka poe hoinoino ia makou, noi mai lakou e lealea makou, I mai, E oli mai oukou i ka oli o Ziona.
3for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”
4Pehea la makou e oli ai i ka oli o Iehova, Ma ka aina malihini?
4How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?
5Ina e hoopoina au ia oe, e Ierusalema, E poina pu no ko'u lima akua i ka hana,
5If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.
6I ole au e hoomanao ia oe, E pipili hoi kuu aleio i ka aluna o ko'u waha; I ole hoi e kela aku ko'u makemake ia Ierusalema, Mamua o ko'u mea lealea mai.
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!
7E Iehova, e hoomanao oe i na keiki o Edoma, I ka la o Ierusalema; I ka poe i olelo mai, E wawahi, e wawahi, A ilalo i ke kumu ona.
7Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”
8E ke kaikamahine o Babulona, ka mea e anaiia auanei, E pomaikai auanei ka mea hoopai aku ia oe, i ka hewa, Au i hana hewa mai ai ia makou.
8O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.
9E pomaikai no hoi ka mea lalau aku i kau mau keiki, A ulupa ia lakou ilalo i na pohaku.
9Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
