Psalms 137 - Listen Online

¹ LI ẹba odò Babeli, nibẹ li awa gbe joko, awa si sọkun nigbati awa ranti Sioni.

¹ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

² Awa fi duru wa kọ́ si ori igi wíllo ti o wà lãrin rẹ̀.

² We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

³ Nitoripe nibẹ li awọn ti o kó wa ni igbekun bère orin lọwọ wa; ati awọn ti o ni wa lara bère idaraya wipe; Ẹ kọ orin Sioni kan fun wa.

³ For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

⁴ Awa o ti ṣe kọ orin Oluwa ni ilẹ àjeji?

⁴ How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

⁵ Jerusalemu, bi emi ba gbagbe rẹ, jẹ ki ọwọ ọtún mi ki o gbagbe ìlò rẹ̀.

⁵ If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

⁶ Bi emi kò ba ranti rẹ, jẹ ki ahọn mi ki o lẹ̀ mọ èrìgì mi; bi emi kò ba fi Jerusalemu ṣaju olori ayọ̀ mi gbogbo.

⁶ If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

⁷ Oluwa, ranti ọjọ Jerusalemu lara awọn ọmọ Edomu, awọn ẹniti nwipe, Wó o palẹ, wó o palẹ, de ipilẹ rẹ̀!

⁷ Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

⁸ Iwọ, ọmọbinrin Babeli, ẹniti a o parun; ibukún ni fun ẹniti o san a fun ọ bi iwọ ti hù si wa.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

⁹ Ibukún li ẹniti o mu, ti o si fi ọmọ wẹwẹ rẹ ṣán okuta.

⁹ Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
