Zaburi 120

1 Wer miwero ka ji dhi e hekalu. Ka an e chandruok to aluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo odwoka,

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

2 Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom dho joma riambo kendo kuom lew joma wuondore.

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

3 Bende ingʼeyo gima Nyasaye biro timoni, bende ingʼeyo gik mochomi adier, yaye lep mawuondore?

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

4 Obiro kumi gi aserni mabitho mag jakedo, ee, obiro wangʼi gi maka maliel mager, mowangʼ gi yiend adugo.

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

5 Malit ochoma adier nikech adak Meshek, hapa rach nikech adak e dier hembe mag Kedar!

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

6 Asedak amingʼa ahinya, e dier joma ok dwar kwe.

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 An ngʼat kwe; to ka awuoyo, to giikore ni lweny.

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
