Psalms 12

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

MAIN kom kotin jauaja, pwe me lelapok kan malaulaular, o me melel akan me malaulau ren aramaj akan.

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

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

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

Ieowa pan kotin ujada kil en au karoj me linkapin o lo, me kin lokaia wei ni aklapalap.

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

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

5 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.

Ieowa kotin majani: I pan uda, pweki kankaneraner en me luet akan o janejan en me jamama kan: I pan jauaja i, me kin inon ion.

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

Majan en Ieowa me makelekeleta jilper, me kamakelekel kidar nan dal pwel en kijiniai pan pak iju.

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

Komui Main, pan kotin pera irail, o jinjila mon di wet kokolata.

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

Pwe me japun kan pan totolar waja karoj, ma aramaj jued pukat kin kaunda aramaj akan.
