Psalms 120

1 [the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndimafuwulira kwa Yehova mʼmasautso anga, ndipo Iye amandiyankha.

2 O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

Pulumutseni Yehova ku milomo yabodza, ndi kwa anthu achinyengo.

3 What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

Kodi adzakuchitani chiyani, ndipo adzawonjezerapo zotani, inu anthu achinyengo?

4 Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

Adzakulangani ndi mivi yakuthwa ya munthu wankhondo, ndi makala oyaka a mtengo wa tsanya.

5 Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

Tsoka ine kuti ndimakhala ku Mesaki, kuti ndimakhala pakati pa matenti a ku Kedara!

6 Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

Kwa nthawi yayitali ndakhala pakati pa iwo amene amadana ndi mtendere.

7 I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.

Ine ndine munthu wamtendere; koma ndikamayankhula, iwo amafuna nkhondo.
