Y Salmo Sija 12

1 AYUDA, O Jeova, sa jocog mandeboto: sa jocog y manmauleg gui entalo y famaguon taotao.

For the leader; on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Help, Lord, for the good are all gone, faithful people have vanished.

2 Masasangang taebale cada uno gui tiguangña: yan labios na jaande, yan doble na corason jasasangan.

One lies to another, speaking empty lies, with flattering lips and false hearts they speak.

3 Si Jeova uutut todo y labios na jaande, yan y jila ni cumuecuentos mandangculo:

May the Lord cut off all the flattering lips, and the tongue that utters arrogance,

4 Ayo na ujaalog: Pot y jilata na utagana; y labiosta iyota: jaye siña señot gui jilota?

they declare, ‘Our tongue is our strength, our allies our lips: who is lord over us?’

5 Sa y chiniguit y mamoble y an y inigong y mannesesitao: pago bae cajulo, ilegña si Jeova: guajo jupolo güi na seguro, ni y jaguaefeye.

‘The poor are despoiled, and the needy are sighing; so now I will act,’ the Lord declares ‘And place them in the safety they long for.’

6 Sa y finijo Jeova, gasgas na finijo: calang salape na managasgas gui jotno gui jilo y tano: managasgas siete biaje.

The words of the Lord are words that are pure, silver smelted, seven times refined.

7 Jago, O Jeova, ni umadadaje sija, jago umantiene para taejinecog, guine este na generasion.

You will keep us, Lord, and guard us from this generation forever,

8 Jijot gui oriya manjajanao y manaelaye: anae esta nacajulo y tinaelaye gui entalo y famaguon taotao.

in a world where the wicked prowl, and worthless people exalted.
