Zaburi 120

1 Katika dhiki yangu nilimuita Yahwe, naye akanijibu.

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

2 Uiokoe nasfi yangu, yahwe, dhidi ya wale wadanganyao kwa midomo yao na wanenao hila kwa ndimi zao.

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

3 Yahwe atawaadhibu vipi, na atawafanyia kitu gani zaidi, ninyi mlio na ulimi mdanganyifu?

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

4 Atawaadhibu kwa mishale ya shujaa iliyo nolewa kwa makaa ya moto ya mretemu.

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

5 Ole wangu mimi kwa sababu ninaishi kwa muda Mesheki; huko nyuma niliishi kati ya maskani ya Kedari.

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

6 Kwa muda mrefu sana niliisha na wale waichukiao amani.

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

7 Nipo kwa ajili ya amani, lakini ninenapo, wao wako kwa ajili ya vita.

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