Psalms 12

1 HELP, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 from him that puffeth at him.

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.

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

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

7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

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

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

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