< Psalms 120 >

1 [A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
NI ai apwal akan i likwir won Ieowa, a ap kotin mani ia.
2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
Main Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, jan au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.
3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
Da me lo likam kak wiai on uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada!
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
A rajon kananan kajik katieu kon kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kijiniai nan alek.
5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.
Meid apwal on ia, ai kairu nan Mejek, o ai kaujon impan im en men Kedar!
6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
Meid warai on ai kaukaujon ren aramaj akan me kin tataki muei mau.
7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
I inon ion muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
