Psalms 12

1 to/for to conduct upon [the] Sheminith melody to/for David to save [emph?] LORD for to cease pious for to disappear faithful from son: child man

Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa sheminithi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana tusaidie, kwa kuwa wacha Mungu wametoweka; waaminifu wametoweka miongoni mwa wanadamu.

2 vanity: false to speak: speak man: anyone with neighbor his lips smoothness in/on/with heart and heart to speak: speak

Kila mmoja humwambia jirani yake uongo; midomo yao ya hila huzungumza kwa udanganyifu.

3 to cut: eliminate LORD all lips smoothness tongue to speak: speak great: large

Bwana na akatilie mbali midomo yote ya hila na kila ulimi uliojaa majivuno,

4 which to say to/for tongue our to prevail lips our with us who? lord to/for us

ule unaosema, “Kwa ndimi zetu tutashinda; midomo ni mali yetu, bwana wetu ni nani?”

5 from violence afflicted from groaning needy now to arise: rise to say LORD to set: put in/on/with salvation to breathe to/for him

“Kwa sababu ya uonevu wa wanyonge na kulia kwa uchungu kwa wahitaji, nitainuka sasa,” asema Bwana. “Nitawalinda kutokana na wale wenye nia mbaya juu yao.”

6 word LORD word pure silver: money to refine in/on/with furnace to/for land: soil to refine sevenfold

Maneno ya Bwana ni safi, kama fedha iliyosafishwa katika tanuru, iliyosafishwa mara saba.

7 you(m. s.) LORD to keep: guard them to watch him from [the] generation this to/for forever: enduring

Ee Bwana, utatuweka salama na kutulinda na kizazi hiki milele.

8 around: side wicked to go: walk [emph?] like/as to exalt vileness to/for son: child man

Watu waovu huenda wakiringa kila mahali wakati ambapo yule aliye mbaya sana ndiye anayeheshimiwa miongoni mwa watu.
