Psalms 120

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.

Fihirana fiakarana.

2 Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!

Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny fanahiko amin’ ny molotra mandainga, Eny, amin’ ny lela mamitaka

3 What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?

Inona no homeny anao, ary inona koa no hataony aminao, Ry lela mamitaka?

4 With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.

Zana-tsipìkan’ ny mahery sady voaranitra, Mbamin’ ny vain’ afon’ anjavidy.

5 I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.

Lozako, fa mivahiny eto amin’ ny Maseka aho Ary mitoetra ato an-dain’ ny Kedarita!

6 I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.

Ela loatra izay no nitoeran’ ny fanahiko teo amin’ Izay tsy tia fihavanana.

7 I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.

Raha izaho, dia fihavanana; Kanjo nony miteny aho, dia mila ady kosa ireny.
