Zabura 120

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

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

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

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

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

What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more 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 the mighty, with coals of broom.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath full long had her dwelling 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 am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
