Psalms 120

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

Fihirana fiakarana.

2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

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

3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

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

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.

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

5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

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

6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

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

7 I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!

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