Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard 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 from a deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given to you? or what shall be done to you, you false tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

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

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

My soul has long dwelled with him that hates 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.
