< Psalm 120 >
1 Ke nga muta in ongoiya, nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD A El topukyu.
A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.
2 LEUM GOD moliyula Liki mwet kikiap a mwet kutasrik.
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 Kowos, mwet kikiap, mea God El a oru nu suwos? El a kai kowos fuka?
What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?
4 Ke sukan pisr kosro nutin sie mwet mweun, A mulut firir!
Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
5 Ke nga muta inmasrlowos, arulana koluk oana nga in muta in acn Meshech Ku muta inmasrlon mwet Kedar.
Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled amongst the tents of Kedar.
6 Loesla pacl nga muta Inmasrlon mwet su srunga misla.
My soul has long been a sojourner;
7 Ke pacl nga sramsram ke misla, Elos ac lungse mweun.
I was peaceful amongst them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
