1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.
1Babulon lui gei khawngah huailaiah i tu-a, ahi, i kap jela, Zion i ngaihtuahin.
2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
2Huaia muisumte khawngah i kaihgingte i khai ua.
3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail [required] mirth, [saying,] Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.
3Zion la khat honsaksak un, chiin, huaiah sala honpiten lasa dingin honsawl ua, honhihgentheiten lah nuamsa dingin leng honchi ngal nak uhi.
4How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?
4Mi gam peuhah Toupa la bangchin i sa thei dia?
5If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill];
5Jerusalem aw, ka honmangngilh aleh, ka khut taklamin a thilsiam mangngilh sam hen.
6If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
6Kon theihgige kei aleh, ka lei ka dangtawngah belh bikbek hen; ka nopsakna pen sanga Jerusalem ka deih jawk ka leh.
7Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay [it] bare, Lay [it] bare, down to its foundation!
7Toupa aw, Jerusalem ni jaw Edom suante tungah a selamin theigige in: a suangphum nangawn leng chimsak un, chimsak un, chite.
8Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.
8Babulon tanu aw, hihmana om ding; ka tung ua na hih banga honthuk ding tuh kipakin a om ding hi.Na tanu noute honla saka, suangpa satna dia zangpa ding tuh kipak takin a om ding hi.
9Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
9Na tanu noute honla saka, suangpa satna dia zangpa ding tuh kipak takin a om ding hi.
