መዝሙር 120 – NASV & NIRV

New Amharic Standard Version

መዝሙር 120:1-7

መዝሙር 120

የሰላም ፀሮች

መዝሙረ መዓርግ።

1በተጨነቅሁ ጊዜ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ተጣራሁ፤

እርሱም መለሰልኝ።

2እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ ከሐሰተኛ ከንፈር፣

ከአታላይ ምላስም አድነኝ።

3ሐሰተኛ አንደበት ሆይ፤ ምን ይከፈልህ?

ከዚህስ የባሰ ምን ይደረግብህ?

4በተሳለ የጦረኛ ቀስት፣

በግራር ከሰል ፍም ይቀጣሃል።

5በሜሼክ እኖራለሁና፣ በቄዳር ድንኳኖች መካከል እቀመጣለሁና ወዮልኝ!

6ሰላምን በሚጠሉ መካከል፣

ነፍሴ እጅግ ብዙ ጊዜ ኖረች።

7እኔ ሰላም ፈላጊ ነኝ፤

እነርሱ ግን በተናገርሁ ጊዜ ጠብ ይሻሉ።

New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 120:1-7

Psalm 120

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1I call out to the Lord when I’m in trouble,

and he answers me.

2Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies.

Save me from people whose tongues don’t tell the truth.

3What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue?

And what more will he do?

4He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier.

He will punish you with burning coals from a desert bush.

5How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshek!

How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar!

6I have lived too long

among those who hate peace.

7I want peace.

But when I speak, they want war.
