Zabura 120

1 Waƙar haurawa. Na yi kira ga Ubangiji cikin damuwata, ya kuwa amsa mini.

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

2 Ka cece ni, ya Ubangiji, daga leɓuna masu ƙarya da kuma daga harsuna masu yaudara.

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 Me zai yi maka, me kuma ya fi, ya kai harshe mai yaudara?

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

4 Zai hukunta ku da kibiyoyi masu tsini na jarumi, tare da garwashin wuta na itacen tsintsiya.

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

5 Kaitona da nake zama a Meshek, da nake zama a ciki tentunan Kedar!

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled amongst the tents of Kedar.

6 Da daɗewa na zauna a cikin waɗanda suke ƙin salama.

My soul has long been a sojourner;

7 Ni mutum ne mai salama; amma sa’ad da na yi magana, su sai su yi ta yaƙi.

I was peaceful amongst them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
