Psalms 137
| Berean Standard Bible tier 2 | New Arabic Version (Book of Life) tier 3 |
|---|---|
| BSB 1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. | NAV 1 عَلَى ضِفَافِ أَنْهَارِ بَابِلَ جَلَسْنَا، وَبَكَيْنَا عِنْدَمَا تَذَكَّرْنَا أُورُشَلِيمَ. |
| BSB 2 There on the willows we hung our harps, | NAV 2 هُنَاكَ عَلَّقْنَا أَعْوَادَنَا عَلَى أَشْجَارِ الصَّفْصَافِ. |
| BSB 3 for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.” | NAV 3 هُنَاكَ طَلَبَ مِنَّا الَّذِينَ سَبَوْنَا أَنْ نَشْدُوَ بِتَرْنِيمَةٍ، وَالَّذِينَ عَذَّبُونَا أَنْ نُطْرِبَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «أَنْشِدُوا لَنَا مِنْ تَرَانِيمِ صِهْيَوْنَ». |
| BSB 4 How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land? | NAV 4 كَيْفَ نَشْدُو بِتَرْنِيمَةِ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ؟ |
| BSB 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function. | NAV 5 إِنْ نَسِيتُكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، فَلْتَنْسَ يَمِينِي مَهَارَتَهَا. |
| BSB 6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy! | NAV 6 لِيَلْتَصِقْ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي إِنْ لَمْ أَذْكُرْكِ وَلَمْ أُفَضِّلْكِ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ أَفْرَاحِي. |
| BSB 7 Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!” | NAV 7 اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ لِبَنِي أَدُومَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ يَوْمَ خَرَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ قَالُوا: «اهْدِمُوا اهْدِمُوا حَتَّى يَتَعَرَّى أَسَاسُهَا». |
| BSB 8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us. | NAV 8 يَا بِنْتَ بَابِلَ الْمُحَتَّمِ خَرَابُهَا، طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُجَازِيكِ بِمَا جَزَيْتِنَا بِهِ. |
| BSB 9 Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. | NAV 9 طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُمْسِكُ صِغَارَكِ وَيَضْرِبُ بِهِمِ الصَّخْرَةَ. |
