Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

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

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

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

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

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

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

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

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

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

For too long I have lived with those who 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.
