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 out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

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

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

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

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

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

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

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

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

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

For too long I have lived with those who 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.
