Zabura 12

1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Da kayan kiɗi. Bisa ga sheminit. Zabura ta Dawuda. Ka taimaka, Ubangiji, gama masu tsoron Allah ba sa nan kuma; masu aminci sun ɓace daga cikin mutane.

Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David. Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

2 Kowa yana yi wa maƙwabcinsa ƙarya; zaƙin bakinsu maganar ƙarya ce suna cike da ruɗu a zukatansu.

They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

3 Bari Ubangiji yă yanke dukan zaƙin bakinsu da kuma kowane harshe mai fariya,

May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

4 masu cewa, “Da harsunanmu za mu yi nasara; leɓunanmu za su kāre mu, wane ne maigidanmu?”

Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?

5 “Saboda danniyar marasa ƙarfi da kuma nishin masu bukata, zan tashi yanzu,” in ji Ubangiji. “Zan kāre su daga masu yin musu sharri.”

By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.

6 Kalmomin Ubangiji kuwa ba su da kuskure, kamar azurfan da aka tace cikin matoyan yumɓu, aka tsabtacce sau bakwai.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.

7 Ya Ubangiji, za ka kiyaye mu lafiya ka tsare mu daga irin mutanen nan har abada.

Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

8 Mugaye suna yawo a sake sa’ad da ake girmama abin da ba shi da kyau a cikin mutane.

The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men.
