詩篇 120

1 都もうでの歌 わたしが悩みのうちに、主に呼ばわると、主はわたしに答えられる。

When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

2 「主よ、偽りのくちびるから、欺きの舌から、わたしを助け出してください」。

[I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

3 欺きの舌よ、おまえに何が与えられ、何が加えられるであろうか。

You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

4 ますらおの鋭い矢と、えにしだの熱い炭とである。

He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

5 わざわいなるかな、わたしはメセクにやどり、ケダルの天幕のなかに住んでいる。

It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

6 わたしは久しく平安を憎む者のなかに住んでいた。

I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

7 わたしは平安を願う、しかし、わたしが物言うとき、彼らは戦いを好む。

Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
