Parallel
Psalms 136
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ἐπὶ τῶν ποταμῶν Βαβυλῶνος ἐκεῖ ἐκαθίσαμεν, καὶ ἐκλαύσαμεν ἐν τῷ μνησθῆναι ἡμᾶς τῆς Σιών·
137:1
By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
ἐπὶ ταῖς ἰτέαις ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐκρεμάσαμεν τὰ ὄργανα ἡμῶν.
137:2
There on the willows (note: Or poplars) we hung our harps,
ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἠρώτησαν ἡμᾶς οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύσαντες ἡμᾶς λόγους ᾠδῶν, καὶ οἰ ἀπαγαγόντες ἡμᾶς Ὑμνήσατε ἡμῖν ἐκ τῶν ᾠδῶν Σιών.
137:3
for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”
πῶς ᾄσωμεν τὴν ᾠδὴν Κυρίου ἐπὶ γῆς ἀλλοτρίας;
137:4
How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?
ἐὰν ἐπλάθωμαί σου, Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἐπιλησθείη ἡ δεξιά μου·
137:5
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.
κολληθείη ἡ γλῶσσά μου τῷ λάρυγγί μου, ἐὰν μή σου μνησθῶ, ἐὰν μὴ προανατάξωμαι τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς εὐφροσύνης μου.
137:6
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!
μνήσθητι, Κύριε, τῶν υἱῶν Ἐδὼμ τὴν ἡμέραν Ἰερουσαλήμ, τῶν λεγόντων Ἐκκενοῦτε, ἐκκενοῦτε, ἕως ὁ θεμέλιος ἐν αὐτῇ.
137:7
Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”
θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος ἡ ταλαίπωρος, μακάριος ὃς ἀνταποδώσει σοι τὸ ἀνταπόδομά σου ἀνταπέδωκας ἡμῖν·
137:8
O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.
μακάριος ὃς κρατήσει καὶ ἐδαφιεῖ τὰ νήπιά σου πρὸς τὴν πέτραν,
137:9
Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
