Psalms 120

1 In my distress I cried unto YHWH, and he heard me.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Katika dhiki yangu namwita Bwana, naye hunijibu.

2 Deliver my soul, O YHWH, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Ee Bwana, uniokoe kutoka midomo ya uongo na ndimi za udanganyifu.

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

Atakufanyia nini, au akufanyie nini zaidi, ewe ulimi mdanganyifu?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Atakuadhibu kwa mishale mikali ya shujaa, kwa makaa yanayowaka ya mti wa mretemu.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

Ole wangu kwa kuwa naishi Mesheki, kwamba naishi katikati ya hema za Kedari!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Nimeishi muda mrefu mno miongoni mwa wale wanaochukia amani.

7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

Mimi ni mtu wa amani; lakini ninaposema, wao wanataka vita.
