137:1

Psalmus David, Jeremiae. Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion.

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

我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下，一追想錫安就哭了。

137:2

In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra :

On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上；

137:3

quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum ; et qui abduxerunt nos : Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion.

For 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!”

因為在那裏，擄掠我們的要我們唱歌，搶奪我們的要我們作樂，說：給我們唱一首錫安歌吧！

137:4

Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena ?

How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?

我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢？

137:5

Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea.

If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

耶路撒冷啊，我若忘記你，情願我的右手忘記技巧！

137:6

Adhaereat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui ; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio laetitiae meae.

Let 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.

我若不記念你，若不看耶路撒冷過於我所最喜樂的，情願我的舌頭貼於上膛！

137:7

Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem : qui dicunt : Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea.

Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

耶路撒冷遭難的日子，以東人說：拆毀！拆毀！直拆到根基！耶和華啊，求你記念這仇！

137:8

Filia Babylonis misera ! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis.

Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

將要被滅的巴比倫城啊，報復你像你待我們的，那人便為有福！

137:9

Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.

Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的，那人便為有福！
