Zabura 120

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

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

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

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

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

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

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

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

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

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

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

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
