Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.

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

O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

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

What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!

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

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.

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

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.

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

I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
