Psalms 120

1 “A psalm of steps.” In my distress I called upon the LORD, And he answered me.

Waƙar haurawa. Na yi kira ga Ubangiji cikin damuwata, ya kuwa amsa mini.

2 O LORD! deliver me from lying lips, From the deceitful tongue!

Ka cece ni, ya Ubangiji, daga leɓuna masu ƙarya da kuma daga harsuna masu yaudara.

3 What profit to thee, Or what advantage to thee, is the false tongue?

Me zai yi maka, me kuma ya fi, ya kai harshe mai yaudara?

4 It is like the sharp arrows of the mighty man; Like coals of the juniper.

Zai hukunta ku da kibiyoyi masu tsini na jarumi, tare da garwashin wuta na itacen tsintsiya.

5 Alas for me, that I sojourn in Mesech, That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

Kaitona da nake zama a Meshek, da nake zama a ciki tentunan Kedar!

6 Too long have I dwelt With them that hate peace!

Da daɗewa na zauna a cikin waɗanda suke ƙin salama.

7 I am for peace; yet, when I speak for it, They are for war.

Ni mutum ne mai salama; amma sa’ad da na yi magana, su sai su yi ta yaƙi.
