Psalms 12

1 To the choirmaster on the sheminith a psalm of David. Save! O Yahweh for he has come to an end [the] faithful for they have vanished faithful [people] from [the] children of humankind.

E KOKUA mai, e Iehova; no ka mea, ua oki ke kanaka lokomaikai; Ua pau hoi ka poe hoopono iwaena o na keiki a kanaka.

2 Falsehood - they speak each with neighbor his a lip of flatteri with a heart and a heart they speak.

Ke kamailio nei kekahi i kekahi i ka mea lapuwale, Me na lehelehe malimali a me ka naau lua e olelo nei lakou.

3 May he cut off Yahweh all [the] lips of flatteri a tongue [which] speaks great [things].

E oki ana no o Iehova i na lehelehe malimali a pau, A me ke alelo e haanui ana i na mea nui;

4 Which they say - tongues our we will make strong lips our [are] with us who? [is] master of us.

Ka i olelo iho, Me ko kakou alelo e lanakila ai kakou; No kakou no ko kakou mau lehelehe: Owai la ka Haku maluna o kakou?

5 From [the] devastation of afflicted [people] from [the] groaning of needy [people] now I will arise he says Yahweh I will set in [the] safety [one who] he pants for it.

No ka luhihewa ana o ka poe ilihune, No ka auwe ana o ka poe kaniuhu, E ku ai au iluna ano, wahi a Iehova, E hoonoho au ia ia i kahi ola, ke puhiia mai ia.

6 [the] words of Yahweh [are] words pure silver refined in a crucible of the earth purified sevenfold.

O na olelo a Iehova, he mau olelo maemae no ia, Me he kala la i hoaoia i ka umulepo, ehiku ka hoomaemae ana.

7 You O Yahweh you will keep them you will guard him - from the generation this for ever.

Nau no lakou e malama mai, e Iehova, Nau no lakou e hoola, mai keia hanauna aku a i ka manawa pau ole.

8 All around wicked [people] they walk about! when is exalted vileness by [the] children of humankind.

E hele ana no ka poe hewa i kela aoao a i keia aoao, I ka manawa i hookiekieia'i na kanaka ino loa.
