Psalms 120

1 [A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

Ka khuikha awh Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing nim hlat law hy.

2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Aw Bawipa, qaai ak kqawn huikhqi ingkaw qaai kqawn na ak nget laikhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul lah.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Aw qaai kqawn na ak nget hui lai nang, nang ak khan awh anih ing ikaw a sai kaw, cekcoengawh ikaw ak awm bai?

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

Kaw ak awmkhqi a la sumkhqi ing nang ce ni toel kawmsaw, imnawt thing mai alh ing ni toel kaw.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

Kedar awhkaw hi im anglakawh awm nawh, Meshqek awh ak awm ve kai aham khaw map mah hy!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

Roepnaak ak sawhnaak thlang anglakawh ka awm ve sang soeih hawh hy.

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

Kai taw qoepnaak ak ngaih thlang na awm nyng; cehlai awi kak kqawn awh, qaal thawh aham ngaih lat uhy.
