Psalms 137
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
1KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel o ja n eja n , ni ni tamanda Jion.
2Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.
2Kit la n adar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi waja 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.'
3Pwe me jali kit edi inda, jen kaul, o jen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai o n kit kaul apot duen Jion.
4How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?
4Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul n il leowa nan jap en men wai?
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
5Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierujalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pu n monokinokla.
6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest 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, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'
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, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.
8Toun Papel, morjued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai o n uk duen me koe wiadar!
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
9Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum jeri pwelel o kajuk pajan nin takai!
