Psalmi 120

1 V svoji tegobi sem klical h Gospodu in me je slišal.

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

2 Osvobodi mojo dušo, oh Gospod, pred lažnivimi ustnicami in pred varljivim jezikom.

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

3 Kaj ti bo dano? Ali kaj ti bo storjeno, ti varljiv jezik?

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

4 Ostre puščice mogočnega z brinovo žerjavico.

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

5 Gorje meni, da se mudim v Mešehu, da prebivam v kedárskih šotorih!

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

6 Moja duša je dolgo prebivala s tistim, ki sovraži mir.

For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.

7 Jaz sem za mir, toda ko govorim, so oni za vojno.

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
