Super flumina Babylonis illic
Language: Latin
1 [Psalmus David, Jeremiæ.] Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus, cum recordaremur Sion. 2 In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra: 3 quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum; et qui abduxerunt nos: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion. 4 Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena? 5 Si oblitus fuero tui, Jerusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea. 6 Adhæreat lingua mea faucibus meis, si non meminero tui; si non proposuero Jerusalem in principio lætitiæ meæ. 7 Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom, in die Jerusalem: qui dicunt: Exinanite, exinanite usque ad fundamentum in ea. 8 Filia Babylonis misera! beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam quam retribuisti nobis. 9 Beatus qui tenebit, et allidet parvulos tuos ad petram.

Cois sruthanna na Bablóine a shuíomar ag...
Language: Irish (Gaelic) after the Latin
1 Cois sruthanna na Bablóine a shuíomar ag sileadh deor, ag cuimhneamh dúinn ar Shíón. 2 Ar shaileoga na tíre sin chrochamar ár gcruiteanna. 3 Óir an drong a rinne bránna dínn, d'iarr siad amhráin orainn, agus an drong a bhíodh dár gciapadh, d'iarr siad lúcháir orainn: “Scaoiligí chugainn,” a deiridís, “amhrán d'amhráin Shíón.” 4 Conas a chanfaimis amhrán an Tiarna i dtír na gcoimhthíoch? 5 Má dhéanaim dearmad ort, a Iarúsailéim, go gcrapa mo dheaslámh! 6 Go gceanglaí mo theanga de mo charball, mura gcuimhním ort, mura gcuire mé Iarúsailéim mar bharr m'aoibhnis uile. 7 Cuimhnigh, a Thiarna, in aghaidh chlann Eadóm, lá treascartha Iarúsailéim, nuair a dúirt siad: “Scriosaigí í, scriosaigí í; leagaigí go talamh í.” 8 A iníon na Bablóine, nach tú an scriosaire! Is méanar don té a dhíolfaidh leatsa na dochair a d'imir tú orainne - 9 an té a bhéarfaidh ar do leanaí á mbascadh in éadan na carraige!
