Psalms 137
1Ngasemifuleni yaseBhabhiloni sahlala phansi sakhalalapho sasikhumbula iZiyoni.
2Khona lapho ezihlahleni zemidubu
saphanyeka amachacho ethu,
3ngoba khonapho abathumbi bethu bacela izingoma kithi,
labahlukuluzi bethu bafuna izingoma zentokozo;
bathi, “Sihlabeleleni enye yezingoma zaseZiyoni!”
4Singazihlabela kanjani izingoma zikaThixo
siselizweni lemzini na?
5Aluba ngikukhohlwa, Oh Jerusalema,
isandla sami sokunene kasilahlekelwe yibungcitshi baso.
6Sengathi ulimi lwami lunganamathela elwangeni lomlomo wami
uba ngingakukhumbuli wena,
uba ngingathathi iJerusalema
njengentokozo yami ephezu konke.
7Khumbula, Oh Thixo, ama-Edomi akwenzayo
mhla iJerusalema ithunjwa.
“Lidilizeni,” baklabalala,
“lidilizeni kanye lezisekelo zalo!”
8Wena Ndodakazi yaseBhabhiloni,
oqunyelwe ukubhubha,
ubusisiwe lowo okuphindiselayo ngalokho okwenzileyo kithi.
9Ubusisiwe lowo othatha insane zakho,
azisakazele ematsheni.
