Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
