Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodana kuna Jehovha mukutambudzika kwangu, uye anondipindura.

2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Haiwa Jehovha, ndiponesei pamiromo inoreva nhema, nendimi dzinonyengera.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Achaiteiko kwauri, uye chimwe chiiko kunze kwezvizvi, iwe rurimi runonyengera?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Achakuranga nemiseve yakapinza yemhare, namazimbe anopfuta omuti womurara.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

Ndine nhamo ini ndinogara muMesheki, kuti ndinogara pakati pamatende eKedhari!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

Ndakagara nguva refu pakati pavanovenga rugare.

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

Ndiri munhu worugare; asi pandinotaura, ivo ndevehondo.
