1Babylon tuiva ah te ka ngol uh tih Zion ka poek uh vaengah ka rhap uh.
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2A khui kah tuirhi dongah ka rhotoeng te ka bang uh.
2Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.
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.
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.'
4Balae tih BOEIPA laa he kholong kho ah ka hlai uh eh?
4How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?
5Jerusalem nang te kan hnilh atah ka bantang kut he hnilh uh saeh.
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
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.
6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.
7BOEIPA aw Jerusalem tue vaengkah Edom koca rhoek loh, “A khoengim duela kingling uh kingling uh,” a ti uh te poek pah.
7Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'
8Hlang aka rhoelrhak Babylon nu aw, kaimih taengah na saii bangla na thaphu te namah taengah aka thuung tah a yoethen.
8O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.
9Na camoe rhoek te a tuuk tih, thaelpang dongah aka phop tah a yoethen.
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
