Salamo 120

1 Izaho niampoheke, le nikanjy Iehovà, vaho tinoi’e.

A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

2 O ry Iehovà, apitsoho an-tsoñin-dremborake ty fiaiko, boak’ ami’ty lela mamañahy.

O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

3 Inon-ty homeañ’ azo, ino ka ty hanoeñe ama’o ty lela letra’e tia?

What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

4 ana-pale masiom-panalolahy, naho forohan’ andrabey!

Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

5 Hankàñe amako te mañialo e Mèseke añe, naho ty fimoneñako an-kiboho’ i Kedàre ao!

Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

6 Loho hatr’ela’e ty nitraofam-piaiko ami’ty kivoho’ o malaim-pilongoañeo.

My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

7 Toe mpitea filongoan-draho; fa ie ivolañako, aly avao ty onjone’ iereo.

I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
