< Salamo 120 >

1 Fihirana fiakarana.
When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.
2 Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny fanahiko amin’ ny molotra mandainga, Eny, amin’ ny lela mamitaka
[I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”
3 Inona no homeny anao, ary inona koa no hataony aminao, Ry lela mamitaka?
You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.
4 Zana-tsipìkan’ ny mahery sady voaranitra, Mbamin’ ny vain’ afon’ anjavidy.
He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.
5 Lozako, fa mivahiny eto amin’ ny Maseka aho Ary mitoetra ato an-dain’ ny Kedarita!
It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].
6 Ela loatra izay no nitoeran’ ny fanahiko teo amin’ Izay tsy tia fihavanana.
I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.
7 Raha izaho, dia fihavanana; Kanjo nony miteny aho, dia mila ady kosa ireny.
Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
