1By rivers of Babylon — There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.
1Waxaannu ag fadhiisannay webiyaashii Baabuloon, Oo waannu ooynay markii aannu Siyoon soo xusuusannay.
2On willows in its midst we hung our harps.
2Oo waxaannu kataaradahayagii sudhannay geedaha safsaafkaa.
3For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers — joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.`
3Waayo, kuwii maxaabiis ahaanta noo watay ayaa halkaas gabayo nagu weyddiistay, Oo kuwii na silciyey ayaa farxad na weyddiistay, oo waxay nagu yidhaahdeen, Noogu gabya gabayadii Siyoon midkood.
4How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?
4Bal sidee baannu gabaygii Rabbiga ugu gabaynaa Dal qalaad dhexdiis?
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!
5Yeruusaalemay, haddaan ku illoobo, Gacantayda midig ha illowdo sancadeedii.
6My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.
6Carrabkayguna ha ku dhego dhanxanagga afkayga, Haddaanan ku xusuusan, Iyo haddaanan Yeruusaalem ka sii jeclaan Farxaddayda ugu weyn.
7Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!`
7Rabbiyow, soo xusuuso reer Edom, Kuwaasoo maalintii Yeruusaalem yidhi, Dumiya, dumiya, tan iyo aasaaskeeda.
8O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.
8Gabadha Baabuloonay, waa lagu baabbi'in doonaa, Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii kaa abaal mariya Sidii aad nagu samaysay.Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii dhallaankaaga qabsada Oo dhagaxa weyn ku dul tuura.
9O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
9Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii dhallaankaaga qabsada Oo dhagaxa weyn ku dul tuura.
