Zabura 120

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

A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

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

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
