Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried—and he answered me.

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

2 O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—from the false lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou 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 The arrows of the hero sharpened, with burning coals of broom.

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 sojourn in Meshek, —That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

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

6 Long, hath my soul had her dwelling with him that hateth peace:

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

7 I, am for peace, and verily 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.
