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, Jehovah, for the holy man ceases, for the faithful fail from among the sons 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 falsehood everyone with his neighbor. With flattering lip, and with a double heart, they speak.

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

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great 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.

Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, says Jehovah. I will set him in the safety he gasps for.

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 Jehovah are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

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

Thou will keep them, O Jehovah. Thou will preserve them from this generation forever.

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

The wicked walk on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
