Psalms 12

1 For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

MAIN kom kotin jauaja, pwe me lelapok kan malaulaular, o me melel akan me malaulau ren aramaj akan.

2 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

Irail kin lokaia likam, amen amen on men impa, re lokaiaki lol riapot.

3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!

Ieowa pan kotin ujada kil en au karoj me linkapin o lo, me kin lokaia wei ni aklapalap.

4 Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

Me kin indinda: Lo atail, me kit pan pwai kida, o kil en au at me kit keleki; ij at kaun?

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 at whom they puff.'

Ieowa kotin majani: I pan uda, pweki kankaneraner en me luet akan o janejan en me jamama kan: I pan jauaja i, me kin inon ion.

6 The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

Majan en Ieowa me makelekeleta jilper, me kamakelekel kidar nan dal pwel en kijiniai pan pak iju.

7 Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

Komui Main, pan kotin pera irail, o jinjila mon di wet kokolata.

8 The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Pwe me japun kan pan totolar waja karoj, ma aramaj jued pukat kin kaunda aramaj akan.
