被掳于巴比伦者之哀歌

137 我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下,一追想锡安就哭了。
我们把琴挂在那里的柳树上。
因为在那里,掳掠我们的要我们唱歌,抢夺我们的要我们作乐,说:“给我们唱一首锡安歌吧!”
我们怎能在外邦唱耶和华的歌呢?
耶路撒冷啊,我若忘记你,情愿我的右手忘记技巧!
我若不记念你,若不看耶路撒冷过于我所最喜乐的,情愿我的舌头贴于上膛!
耶路撒冷遭难的日子,以东人说:“拆毁!拆毁!直拆到根基!”耶和华啊,求你记念这仇!
将要被灭的巴比伦[a]啊,报复你像你待我们的,那人便为有福!
拿你的婴孩摔在磐石上的,那人便为有福!

  1. 诗篇 137:8 “城”原文作“女子”。

Psalm 137

Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept
    as we thought of Jerusalem.[a]
We put away our harps,
    hanging them on the branches of poplar trees.
For our captors demanded a song from us.
    Our tormentors insisted on a joyful hymn:
    “Sing us one of those songs of Jerusalem!”
But how can we sing the songs of the Lord
    while in a pagan land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
    let my right hand forget how to play the harp.
May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
    if I fail to remember you,
    if I don’t make Jerusalem my greatest joy.

O Lord, remember what the Edomites did
    on the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.
“Destroy it!” they yelled.
    “Level it to the ground!”
O Babylon, you will be destroyed.
    Happy is the one who pays you back
    for what you have done to us.
Happy is the one who takes your babies
    and smashes them against the rocks!

  1. 137:1 Hebrew Zion; also in 137:3.

被擄之民向 神的哀求

137 我們曾坐在巴比倫的河畔,

在那裡我們一想起錫安就哭了。

我們把我們的琴

掛在那裡的柳樹上。

因為在那裡,擄掠我們的人要我們唱歌,

苦待我們的人要我們娛樂他們;

他們說:“為我們唱一首錫安歌吧!”

我們怎能在異族之地

唱耶和華的歌呢?

耶路撒冷啊!如果我忘記你,

情願我的右手忘記技巧(“忘記技巧”或譯:“枯乾”)。

如果我不記念你,

如果我不高舉耶路撒冷

超過我最大的喜樂,

情願我的舌頭緊貼上膛。

耶和華啊!求你記念以東人在耶路撒冷遭難的日子所行的,

他們說:“拆毀它,拆毀它,

直拆到根基。”

將要被毀滅的(“將要被毀滅的”有古譯本作“毀滅者”)巴比倫城(“城”原文作“女子”)啊!

照著你待我們的行為報復你的,

那人有福了。

抓住你的嬰孩

摔在磐石上的,

那人有福了。

137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

For 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.

How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Psalm 137

By the rivers of Babylon(A) we sat and wept(B)
    when we remembered Zion.(C)
There on the poplars(D)
    we hung our harps,(E)
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)

How can we sing the songs of the Lord(I)
    while in a foreign land?
If I forget you,(J) Jerusalem,
    may my right hand forget its skill.
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.

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)
Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,(Q)
    happy is the one who repays you
    according to what you have done to us.
Happy is the one who seizes your infants
    and dashes them(R) against the rocks.
