Salmos 120

A Song of Ascents.

1 In my distress, I cried to Yahweh.

He answered me.

2 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.

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

you deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

with coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long

with him who hates peace.

7 I am for peace,

but when I speak, they are for war.

He Whakatūpato ki ngā Rūpahu

He waiata; he pikitanga.

1 I tangi ahau ki a Ihowā i tōku matenga,

ā, i whakahoki kupu mai ia ki ahau:

2 "E Ihowā, whakaorangia tōku wairua

i te ngutu teka, i te arero hīanga."

3 Ko te aha e hoatu ki a koe?

Ko te aha hoki e tāpiritia atu māu,

e te arero hīanga?

4 Ko ngā pere koi a te hunga nunui,

me ngā waro hunipa.

5 Auē, tōku mate, tō te manene i Meheke,

tōku hoki e noho nei i ngā tēneti o Kerara.

6 Kua roa te nohoanga tahitanga o tōku wairua

ki te tangata e kino ana ki te āta noho.

7 Mō te āta noho ahau;

engari ka kōrero ahau,

ka anga rātou ka whawhai.
