1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
1[Fahatsiarovana ny alahelon'ny babo tany Babylona] Teo amoron'ny onin'i Babylona no nipetrahanay, Sady nitomanianay, raha nahatsiaro an'i Ziona.
2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
2Teo amin'ny hazomalahelo teo afovoan'i Babylona No nanantonanay ny lokanganay.
3For 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.
3Fa teo dia nangataka anay hihira izay namabo anay; Ary izay nampahory anay nangataka anay hanao fifaliana ka nanao hoe: Manaova hiran'i Ziona eto anatrehanay.
4How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
4Nefa ho nataontsika ahoana no fihira ny fihiran'i Jehovah Tany an-tany nivahiniana?
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
5Raha manadino anao aho, ry Jerosalema ô, Aoka kosa ny tanako ankavanana mba hanadino.
6If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
6Raha tsy mahatsiaro anao aho, Aoka ny lelako hiraikitra amin'ny lanilaniko, Raha tsy Jerosalema no ataoko ambony indrindra amin'ny fifaliako rehetra.
7Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
7Jehovah ô, tsarovy amin'ny taranak'i Edoma Ny andron'i Jerosalema, Dia ireo izay nanao hoe: Ravao, ravao izy Hatramin'ny fanorenany.
8O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
8Ry Babylona zanakavavy izay efa resy, Sambatra izay mamaly anao Araka izay nataonao taminay.[Na: ho resy]Sambatra izay maka ny zanakao madinika ka manjera azy ho torotoro, Amin'ny harambato.
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
9Sambatra izay maka ny zanakao madinika ka manjera azy ho torotoro, Amin'ny harambato.
