Psalms 137

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

عَلَى أَنْهَارِ بَابِلَ هُنَاكَ جَلَسْنَا، بَكَيْنَا أَيْضًا عِنْدَمَا تَذَكَّرْنَا صِهْيَوْنَ.

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

عَلَى الصَّفْصَافِ فِي وَسَطِهَا عَلَّقْنَا أَعْوَادَنَا.

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.

لأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ سَأَلَنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَوْنَا كَلاَمَ تَرْنِيمَةٍ، وَمُعَذِّبُونَا سَأَلُونَا فَرَحًا قَائِلِينَ: «رَنِّمُوا لَنَا مِنْ تَرْنِيمَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ».

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

كَيْفَ نُرَنِّمُ تَرْنِيمَةَ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ؟

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

إِنْ نَسِيتُكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، تَنْسَى يَمِينِي!

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.

لِيَلْتَصِقْ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي إِنْ لَمْ أَذْكُرْكِ، إِنْ لَمْ أُفَضِّلْ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى أَعْظَمِ فَرَحِي!

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

اُذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ لِبَنِي أَدُومَ يَوْمَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْقَائِلِينَ: «هُدُّوا، هُدُّوا حَتَّى إِلَى أَسَاسِهَا».

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

يَا بِنْتَ بَابِلَ الْمُخْرَبَةَ، طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُجَازِيكِ جَزَاءَكِ الَّذِي جَازَيْتِنَا!

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

طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُمْسِكُ أَطْفَالَكِ وَيَضْرِبُ بِهِمُ الصَّخْرَةَ!
