Psalms 120

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

NI ai apwal akan i likwir won Ieowa, a ap kotin mani ia.

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

Main Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, jan au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.

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

Da me lo likam kak wiai on uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada!

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

A rajon kananan kajik katieu kon kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kijiniai nan alek.

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

Meid apwal on ia, ai kairu nan Mejek, o ai kaujon impan im en men Kedar!

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

Meid warai on ai kaukaujon ren aramaj akan me kin tataki muei mau.

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

I inon ion muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
