Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled amongst the tents of Kedar.

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

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Asedak amingʼa ahinya, e dier joma ok dwar kwe.

7 I was peaceful amongst them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

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