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.

For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail 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 speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

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

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:

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

Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; 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.”

For the spoiling 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.

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 in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

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

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them 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 on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
