Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

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

O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

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

What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

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

Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

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

I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
