Tingtoeng 12

1 [Aka mawt ham David kah Sheminith Tingtoeng] BOEIPA, hlangcim om pawt tih hlang kah capa rhoek khuikah oltak rhoek khaw a milh coeng dongah n'khang dae.

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

2 A hui taengah a poeyoek la rhip cal uh tih, a hmui khaw hnal. A lungbuei neh a lungbuei ah voek uh thae.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

3 Duelhduelh aka cal tih a hmui a lai aka hnal boeih te BOEIPA loh rhet pa saeh.

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things:

4 Mah kah hmui lai neh n'na bitni. Unim mamih kah boei?” a ti uh.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

5 Mangdaeng kah rhoelrhanah kongah, khodaeng rhoek a kiinah kongah ka thoo pawn ni. BOEIPA loh, “A taengah a sat hlang te, khangnah khuila ka khueh ni,” a ti.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffs at him.

6 BOEIPA kah olthui tah aka caih olthui ni. Diklai hmaihueng khuiah voei rhih a ciil tangtae cak te a picai ni.

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

7 BOEIPA nang loh, tebang thawnpuei taeng lamloh nan dawn nan dah vetih, kumhal duela nan kueinah ni.

You shall keep them, O LORD, you shall preserve them from this generation for ever.

8 Halang loh kaepvai a tluek vaengah, hlang capa rhoek loh hlangyoe a pomsang ni.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
