Zaburi 120

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Katika dhiki yangu namwita Bwana, naye hunijibu.

[the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

2 Ee Bwana, uniokoe kutoka midomo ya uongo na ndimi za udanganyifu.

O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

3 Atakufanyia nini, au akufanyie nini zaidi, ewe ulimi mdanganyifu?

What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

4 Atakuadhibu kwa mishale mikali ya shujaa, kwa makaa yanayowaka ya mti wa mretemu.

Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

5 Ole wangu kwa kuwa naishi Mesheki, kwamba naishi katikati ya hema za Kedari!

Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

6 Nimeishi muda mrefu mno miongoni mwa wale wanaochukia amani.

Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

7 Mimi ni mtu wa amani; lakini ninaposema, wao wanataka vita.

I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.
