Psalms Chapter 12

1
Bwana, uokoe, maana mcha Mungu amekoma, Maana waaminifu wametoweka katika wanadamu.
For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
2
Husemezana yasiyofaa kila mtu na mwenziwe, Wenye midomo ya kujipendekeza; Husemezana kwa mioyo ya unafiki;
They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
3
Bwana ataikata midomo yote ya kujipendekeza, Nao ulimi unenao maneno ya kiburi;
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.
4
Waliosema, Kwa ndimi zetu tutashinda; Midomo yetu ni yetu wenyewe, Ni nani aliye bwana juu yetu?
They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”
5
Kwa ajili ya kuonewa kwao wanyonge, Kwa ajili ya kuugua kwao wahitaji, Sasa nitasimama, asema Bwana, Nitamweka salama yeye wanayemfyonya.
“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”
6
Maneno ya Bwana ni maneno safi, Ni fedha iliyojaribiwa kalibuni juu ya nchi; Iliyosafishwa mara saba.
The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.
7
Wewe, Bwana, ndiwe utakayetuhifadhi, Utatulinda na kizazi hiki milele.
You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.
8
Wasio haki hutembea pande zote, Ufisadi ukitukuka kati ya wanadamu.
The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.
