Psalms 137
我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下, 一追想锡安就哭了。
wǒ men céng zài bā bǐ lún de hé biān zuò xià , yì zhuī xiǎng xī ān jiù kū le 。
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上;
wǒ men bǎ qín guà zài nà lǐ de liǔ shù shàng ;
On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.
因为在那里,掳掠我们的要我们唱歌, 抢夺我们的要我们作乐,说: 给我们唱一首锡安歌吧!
yīn wèi zài nà lǐ , lǔ lüè wǒ men de yào wǒ men chàng gē , qiǎng duó wǒ men de yào wǒ men zuò lè , shuō : gěi wǒ men chàng yì shǒu xī ān gē ba !
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!”
我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢?
wǒ men zěn néng zài wài bāng chàng yē hé huá de gē ne ?
How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?
耶路撒冷啊,我若忘记你, 情愿我的右手忘记技巧!
yē lù sā lěng a , wǒ ruò wàng jì nǐ , qíng yuàn wǒ de yòu shǒu wàng jì jì qiǎo !
If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
我若不记念你, 若不看耶路撒冷过于我所最喜乐的, 情愿我的舌头贴于上膛!
wǒ ruò bú jì niàn nǐ , ruò bú kàn yē lù sā lěng guò yú wǒ suǒ zuì xǐ lè de , qíng yuàn wǒ de shé tou tiē yú shàng táng !
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.
耶路撒冷遭难的日子, 以东人说:拆毁!拆毁! 直拆到根基! 耶和华啊,求你记念这仇!
yē lù sā lěng zāo nán de rì zi , yǐ dōng rén shuō : chāi huǐ ! chāi huǐ ! zhí chāi dào gēn jī ! yē hé huá a , qiú nǐ jì niàn zhè chóu !
Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”
将要被灭的巴比伦城啊 , 报复你像你待我们的,那人便为有福!
jiāng yào bèi miè de bā bǐ lún chéng a , bào fù nǐ xiàng nǐ dài wǒ men de , nà rén biàn wèi yǒu fú !
Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.
拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的, 那人便为有福!
ná nǐ de yīng hái shuāi zài pán shí shàng de , nà rén biàn wèi yǒu fú !
Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
