Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. | 1 עַ֥ל נַהֲרֹ֨ות׀ בָּבֶ֗ל שָׁ֣ם יָ֭שַׁבְנוּ גַּם־בָּכִ֑ינוּ בְּ֝זָכְרֵ֗נוּ אֶת־צִיֹּֽון׃ | |
2 On willows in its midst we hung our harps. | 2 עַֽל־עֲרָבִ֥ים בְּתֹוכָ֑הּ תָּ֝לִ֗ינוּ כִּנֹּרֹותֵֽינוּ׃ | |
3 For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.' | 3 כִּ֤י שָׁ֨ם שְֽׁאֵל֪וּנוּ שֹׁובֵ֡ינוּ דִּבְרֵישִ֭־יר וְתֹולָלֵ֣ינוּ שִׂמְחָ֑ה שִׁ֥ירוּ לָ֝֗נוּ מִשִּׁ֥יר צִיֹּֽון׃ | |
4 How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger? | 4 אֵ֗יךְ נָשִׁ֥יר אֶת־שִׁיר־יְהוָ֑ה עַ֝֗ל אַדְמַ֥ת נֵכָֽר׃ | |
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth! | 5 אִֽם־אֶשְׁכָּחֵ֥ךְ יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח יְמִינִֽי׃ | |
6 My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy. | 6 תִּדְבַּ֥ק־לְשֹׁונִ֨י׀ לְחִכִּי֮ אִם־לֹ֪א אֶ֫זְכְּרֵ֥כִי אִם־לֹ֣א אַ֭עֲלֶה אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֑ם עַ֝֗ל רֹ֣אשׁ שִׂמְחָתִֽי׃ | |
7 Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!' | 7 זְכֹ֤ר יְהוָ֨ה׀ לִבְנֵ֬י אֱדֹ֗ום אֵת֮ יֹ֤ום יְֽרוּשָׁ֫לִָ֥ם הָ֭אֹ֣מְרִים עָ֤רוּ׀ עָ֑רוּ עַ֝֗ד הַיְסֹ֥וד בָּֽהּ׃ | |
8 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us. | 8 בַּת־בָּבֶ֗ל הַשְּׁד֫וּדָ֥ה אַשְׁרֵ֥י שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם־לָ֑ךְ אֶת־גְּ֝מוּלֵ֗ךְ שֶׁגָּמַ֥לְתְּ לָֽנוּ׃ | |
9 O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock! | 9 אַשְׁרֵ֤י׀ שֶׁיֹּאחֵ֓ז וְנִפֵּ֬ץ אֶֽת־עֹ֝לָלַ֗יִךְ אֶל־הַסָּֽלַע׃ | |
