< Psalms 120 >
1 A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.
NI ai apwal akan i likwir won Ieowa, a ap kotin mani ia.
2 Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.
Main Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, jan au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.
3 How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?
Da me lo likam kak wiai on uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada!
4 He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.
A rajon kananan kajik katieu kon kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kijiniai nan alek.
5 Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.
Meid apwal on ia, ai kairu nan Mejek, o ai kaujon impan im en men Kedar!
6 For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.
Meid warai on ai kaukaujon ren aramaj akan me kin tataki muei mau.
7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
I inon ion muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
