1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
1Babylon vapui taengah, kang hnut o, ue, Zion to ka poek o naah, ka qah o.
2On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.
2Katoengnawk doeh tui taeng ih thing tanghang nuiah ka bang o.
3For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
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.
4How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?
4Kawbangmaw Angraeng ih laa to minawk prae ah ka sah o thai tih?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
5Aw Jerusalem, nang to kang pahnet o ving nahaeloe, ka bantang ban mah a sakthaihaih to pahnet roep nasoe.
6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
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.
7Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”
7Aw Angraeng, Jerusalem amtimh na niah, im hmuen to phrae oh, phrae oh, tiah kathui Edom kaminawk to poek ah.
8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.
8Amrosak thaih, Aw Babylon canu, kaicae nuiah na sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, na nuiah sah pathok kami loe tahamhoih.
9Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
9Na caa nawktanawk to lak moe, thlung nuiah va kami loe tahamhoih.
