1Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1 Doonkoy jine bora se. I m'a doon da moolo hamni ahakkukoy karyaŋ. Dawda wane no.
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
2 Ya Rabbi, ma gaakasinay te, Zama hanante si no koyne, Naanaykoy si no mo Adam-izey ra.
3May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
3 I afo kulu, tangari no a ga hawa nga gorokasin gaa da tangari sifaw me-kuuruyaŋ, Bine hinka mo no a ga salaŋ d'a.
4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
4 Tangari sifaw me-kuurey kulu da deeney kaŋ ga sanni yaamo beeriyaŋ te, Rabbi m'i dangandi.
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
5 Ngey no ka ne: «Iri deeney no iri ga te zaama nd'a. Iri me-kuurey iri bumbey wane yaŋ no. May ga ti jine boro iri boŋ?»
6The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
6 Yaa no Rabbi ci: «Ay ga tun sohõ, Taabantey kankamo da laamikoyey durayyaŋey sabbay se, Ay m'i daŋ baani kaŋ i go ga ceeci ra.»
7You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
7 Rabbi me sanney ya sanni hananteyaŋ no, Sanda nzarfu kaŋ i gosi guuru hinayaŋ sintilo ra cine, Wo kaŋ i hanandi hala sorro iyye.
8The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
8 Ya Rabbi, nin no g'i batu, Ni g'i haggoy k'i wa da zamana wo dumi borey hal abada.
9 D'i na kazaamataray beerandi Adam-izey ra, Boro laaley ga zankam no nangu kulu.
