Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

Fihirana fiakarana.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny fanahiko amin’ ny molotra mandainga, Eny, amin’ ny lela mamitaka

3 What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

Inona no homeny anao, ary inona koa no hataony aminao, Ry lela mamitaka?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Zana-tsipìkan’ ny mahery sady voaranitra, Mbamin’ ny vain’ afon’ anjavidy.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

Lozako, fa mivahiny eto amin’ ny Maseka aho Ary mitoetra ato an-dain’ ny Kedarita!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Ela loatra izay no nitoeran’ ny fanahiko teo amin’ Izay tsy tia fihavanana.

7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

Raha izaho, dia fihavanana; Kanjo nony miteny aho, dia mila ady kosa ireny.
