< Psalms 120 >
1 In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.
NI ai apwal akan i likwir won Ieowa, a ap kotin mani ia.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
Main Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, jan au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.
3 What shall be given to you? or what shall be done to you, you false tongue?
Da me lo likam kak wiai on uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada!
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
A rajon kananan kajik katieu kon kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kijiniai nan alek.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
Meid apwal on ia, ai kairu nan Mejek, o ai kaujon impan im en men Kedar!
6 My soul has long dwelled with him that hates peace.
Meid warai on ai kaukaujon ren aramaj akan me kin tataki muei mau.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
I inon ion muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
