Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

2 Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny fanahiko amin’ ny molotra mandainga, Eny, amin’ ny lela mamitaka

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

3 Inona no homeny anao, ary inona koa no hataony aminao, Ry lela mamitaka?

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 Zana-tsipìkan’ ny mahery sady voaranitra, Mbamin’ ny vain’ afon’ anjavidy.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

5 Lozako, fa mivahiny eto amin’ ny Maseka aho Ary mitoetra ato an-dain’ ny Kedarita!

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Ela loatra izay no nitoeran’ ny fanahiko teo amin’ Izay tsy tia fihavanana.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Raha izaho, dia fihavanana; Kanjo nony miteny aho, dia mila ady kosa ireny.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
