< Psalms 120 >
1 A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.
Waƙar haurawa. Na yi kira ga Ubangiji cikin damuwata, ya kuwa amsa mini.
2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.
Ka cece ni, ya Ubangiji, daga leɓuna masu ƙarya da kuma daga harsuna masu yaudara.
3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
Me zai yi maka, me kuma ya fi, ya kai harshe mai yaudara?
4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.
Zai hukunta ku da kibiyoyi masu tsini na jarumi, tare da garwashin wuta na itacen tsintsiya.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
Kaitona da nake zama a Meshek, da nake zama a ciki tentunan Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.
Da daɗewa na zauna a cikin waɗanda suke ƙin salama.
7 I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
Ni mutum ne mai salama; amma sa’ad da na yi magana, su sai su yi ta yaƙi.
