Zabura 120

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

“A psalm of steps.” In my distress I called upon 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 me from lying lips, From the deceitful tongue!

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

What profit to thee, Or what advantage to thee, is the false tongue?

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

It is like the sharp arrows of the mighty man; Like coals of the juniper.

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

Alas for me, that I sojourn in Mesech, That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

Too long have I 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; yet, when I speak for it, They are for war.
