Psalmowo 120

1 Mɔzɔha. Meyɔ Yehowa le nye xaxa me, eye wòtɔ nam.

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

2 O! Yehowa, ɖem, tso aʋatsonuyiwo kple alakpaɖewo ƒe asi me.

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

3 O! Alakpaɖe, nu ka wòawɔ na wò, eye nu ka wòatsɔ akpee na wò?

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 Atsɔ aʋawɔla ƒe aŋutrɔ ɖaɖɛwo ahe to na wòe kpe ɖe yɔkuti ƒe dzoka xɔxɔwo ŋuti.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

5 Baba nam be mele Mesek, eye mele Kedar ƒe agbadɔwo me!

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Menɔ ame siwo lé fu ŋutifafa la dome wòdidi fũu akpa.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Ŋutifafamee menye, gake ne meƒo nu la, woawo kpea aʋa.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
