Psalms 120

1 When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

Kanto de suprenirado. Al la Eternulo mi vokis en mia sufero, Kaj Li aŭskultis min.

2 [I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

Ho Eternulo, savu mian animon de mensoga parolo, De falsa lango.

3 You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

Kion Li donos al vi, Kaj kion Li alportos al vi, ho falsa lango?

4 He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

Akrajn sagojn de fortulo Kun karboj genistaj.

5 It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

Ve al mi, ke mi gastas en Meŝeĥ, Ke mi loĝas inter la tendoj de Kedar!

6 I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

Tro longe loĝis mia animo Inter malamantoj de paco.

7 Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.

Mi estas pacema; Sed kiam mi ekparolas, ili komencas militon.
