Zaburi 120

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

When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

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

[I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

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

You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

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

He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

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

It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

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

I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

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

Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
