Dagiti Salmo 12

1 Tumulongka, O Yahweh, ta nagpukaw dagiti nadiosan; awanen dagiti napudno.

Help, Yhwh; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

2 Agibagbaga ti tunggal maysa iti parbo a sasao iti kaarrubana; agsasao ti tunggal maysa nga addaan iti managpasablog a dila ken manangallilaw a puso.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

3 O Yahweh, putdem dagiti amin a managpasablog a bibig, tunggal dila a mangipabpablaak iti nalabes a banbanag.

Yhwh shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

4 Dagitoy dagiti nagkuna, “Agballigikami babaen kadagiti dilami. No agsaokami, siasino ti makabael a mangituray kadakami?”

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

5 Gapu iti kinaranggas a maibusor kadagiti napanglaw, gapu iti as-asug dagiti agkasapulan, bumangonakto,” kuna ni Yahweh. “Ipaaykonto ti kinatalged a kalkalikagumanda.”

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Yhwh; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

6 Nasin-aw dagiti sasao ni Yahweh, kasla pirak a napadalus iti naminpito iti maysa nga orno iti rabaw ti daga.

The words of Yhwh are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

7 Sika ni Yahweh! Salsalaknibam ida. Ay-aywanam dagiti nadiosan a tattao manipud iti daytoy nadangkes a kaputotan ken iti agnanayon.

Thou shalt keep them, O Yhwh, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

8 Magna dagiti nadangkes iti tunggal suli no maitan-ok ti kinadakes kadagiti annak dagiti tattao.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
