Psalms 12

1 For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

MAING kom kotin sauasa, pwe me lelapok kan malaulaular, o me melel akan me malaulau ren aramas akan.

2 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

Irail kin lokaia likam, amen amen ong men impa, re lokaiaki lol riapot.

3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!

Ieowa pan kotin usada kil en au karos me lingkaping o lo, me kin lokaia wei ni aklapalap.

4 Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

Me kin indinda: Lo atail, me kit pan pwai kida, o kil en au at me kit keleki; is at kaun?

5 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'

Ieowa kotin masani: I pan uda, pweki kankangeranger en me luet akan o sangesang en me samama kan: I pan sauasa i, me kin inong iong.

6 The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

Masan en Ieowa me makelekeleta silper, me kamakelekel kidar nan dal pwel en kisiniai pan pak isu.

7 Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

Komui Maing, pan kotin pera irail, o sinsila mon di wet kokolata.

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

Pwe me sapung kan pan totolar wasa karos, ma aramas sued pukat kin kaunda aramas akan.
