Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
1KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel o ja n eja n , ni ni tamanda Jion.
2On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.
2Kit la n adar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi waja 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!”
3Pwe me jali kit edi inda, jen kaul, o jen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai o n kit kaul apot duen Jion.
4How can 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 you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
5Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierujalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pu n monokinokla.
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.
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, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”
7Mai n leowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en lerujalem Kawela, kawela lao Iel o n nan pwel!
8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.
8Toun Papel, morjued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai o n uk duen me koe wiadar!
9Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
9Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum jeri pwelel o kajuk pajan nin takai!
