诗篇 137
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
被掳之民向 神的哀求
137 我们曾坐在巴比伦的河畔,
在那里我们一想起锡安就哭了。
2 我们把我们的琴
挂在那里的柳树上。
3 因为在那里,掳掠我们的人要我们唱歌,
苦待我们的人要我们娱乐他们;
他们说:“为我们唱一首锡安歌吧!”
4 我们怎能在异族之地
唱耶和华的歌呢?
5 耶路撒冷啊!如果我忘记你,
情愿我的右手忘记技巧(“忘记技巧”或译:“枯干”)。
6 如果我不记念你,
如果我不高举耶路撒冷
超过我最大的喜乐,
情愿我的舌头紧贴上膛。
7 耶和华啊!求你记念以东人在耶路撒冷遭难的日子所行的,
他们说:“拆毁它,拆毁它,
直拆到根基。”
8 将要被毁灭的(“将要被毁灭的”有古译本作“毁灭者”)巴比伦城(“城”原文作“女子”)啊!
照着你待我们的行为报复你的,
那人有福了。
9 抓住你的婴孩
摔在盘石上的,
那人有福了。
Psalm 137
New International Version
Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)
when we remembered Zion.(C)
2 There on the poplars(D)
we hung our harps,(E)
3 for there our captors(F) asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded(G) songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”(H)
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord(I)
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you,(J) Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof(K) of my mouth
if I do not remember(L) you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem(M)
my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites(N) did
on the day Jerusalem fell.(O)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
“tear it down to its foundations!”(P)
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(Q)
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them(R) against the rocks.
Psalm 137
Easy-to-Read Version
137 We sat by the rivers in Babylon
and cried as we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our harps nearby, there on the willow trees.[a]
3 There in Babylon, those who captured us told us to sing.
Our enemies told us to entertain them.
They said, “Sing us one of your songs about Zion.”
4 But we cannot sing the Lord’s songs
in a foreign country!
5 Jerusalem, if I ever forget you,
may I never play a song again.
6 If I fail to remember you,
may I never sing again.
I will always remember Jerusalem
as my greatest joy!
7 Lord, be sure to punish the Edomites for what they did
when Jerusalem was captured.
They shouted, “Destroy its buildings!
Pull them down to the ground!”
8 Babylon, you will be destroyed!
Bless the one who pays you back for what you did to us.
9 Bless the one who grabs your babies
and smashes them against a rock.
