< Psalms 120 >
1 song [the] step to(wards) LORD in/on/with distress [to] to/for me to call: call to and to answer me
Nzembo ya mobembo tango bazalaki kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Kati na pasi na ngai, nabelelaki Yawe, mpe ayanolaki ngai.
2 LORD to rescue [emph?] soul: myself my from lips deception from tongue deceit
Oh Yawe, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bakosi mpe wuta na lolemo ya lokuta!
3 what? to give: give to/for you and what? to add to/for you tongue deceit
Yo, lolemo ya lokuta, Yawe akopesa yo nini, akofuta yo nini?
4 arrow mighty man to sharpen with coal broom
Akobeta yo na makonga ya elombe ya bitumba, oyo ezali ya songe, elongo na makala ya moto ya nzete ya nzube.
5 woe! to/for me for to sojourn Meshech to dwell with tent Kedar
Mawa na ngai, mpo ete navandi lokola mopaya kati na Mesheki, kati na bandako ya kapo ya Kedari.
6 many to dwell to/for her soul: myself my with to hate peace
Navandaki tango molayi kati na bato oyo balingaka kimia te.
7 I peace and for to speak: speak they(masc.) to/for battle
Ngai, nazali moto ya kimia; kasi soki kaka nameki koloba na tina na kimia, bango baponaka mbala moko bitumba.
