< Psalm 120 >

1 Ke nga muta in ongoiya, nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD A El topukyu.
A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.
2 LEUM GOD moliyula Liki mwet kikiap a mwet kutasrik.
O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.
3 Kowos, mwet kikiap, mea God El a oru nu suwos? El a kai kowos fuka?
What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?
4 Ke sukan pisr kosro nutin sie mwet mweun, A mulut firir!
Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.
5 Ke nga muta inmasrlowos, arulana koluk oana nga in muta in acn Meshech Ku muta inmasrlon mwet Kedar.
Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.
6 Loesla pacl nga muta Inmasrlon mwet su srunga misla.
My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.
7 Ke pacl nga sramsram ke misla, Elos ac lungse mweun.
I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
