< Zaburi 120 >
1 Wer miwero ka ji dhi e hekalu. Ka an e chandruok to aluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo odwoka,
A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom dho joma riambo kendo kuom lew joma wuondore.
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.
3 Bende ingʼeyo gima Nyasaye biro timoni, bende ingʼeyo gik mochomi adier, yaye lep mawuondore?
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Obiro kumi gi aserni mabitho mag jakedo, ee, obiro wangʼi gi maka maliel mager, mowangʼ gi yiend adugo.
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Malit ochoma adier nikech adak Meshek, hapa rach nikech adak e dier hembe mag Kedar!
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 Asedak amingʼa ahinya, e dier joma ok dwar kwe.
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 An ngʼat kwe; to ka awuoyo, to giikore ni lweny.
I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
