Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The plans of the heart belong to man, but the reply of the tongue is from the LORD.
1Kut ku in oru pwapa lasr, tusruktu kas safla kac uh ma lun God.
2All a man’s ways are pure in his own eyes, but his motives are weighed out by the LORD.
2Kom ac nunku mu ma nukewa kom oru uh suwohs, tuh LEUM GOD El liye nunak lun insiom.
3Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved.
3Siyuk LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye pwapa lom, na kom ac fah ku in orala.
4The LORD has made everything for His purpose— even the wicked for the day of disaster.
4Ma nukewa LEUM GOD El orala ac oasr saflaiya; na saflaiyen mwet koluk uh pa in sikiyukla.
5Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.
5LEUM GOD El srunga mwet nukewa su filang. El ac fah tia lela elos in kaingkunla mwe kaiyuk nu selos.
6By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil.
6Kom in oaru ac inse pwaye, ac God El fah nunak munas ke ma koluk lom. Alfulatye LEUM GOD na wangin ma koluk ac fah sikyak nu sum.
7When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even the man’s enemies live at peace with him.
7Pacl kom akinsewowoye LEUM GOD , mwet lokoalok lom uh ac ekla mwet kawuk lom.
8Better a little with righteousness than great gain with injustice.
8Kom fin eis srik ke inkanek suwohs, wo liki ke kom eis yohk ke inkanek sesuwos.
9A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
9Kom ku in lumahla ma kom ac oru, a God pa ac oakiya inkanek lom.
10A divine verdict is on the lips of a king; his mouth must not betray justice.
10Tokosra el kaskas ke ku sin God me; na sulela lal pwaye pacl nukewa.
11Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are His concern.
11LEUM GOD El lungse tuh mwe paun ac mwe srikasrak nukewa in suwohs, ac molin mwe kuka in fal.
12Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, for a throne is established through righteousness.
12Tokosra elos tia ku in lela ma koluk in orek, mweyen nununku suwohs pa oru sie mutunfacl in ku.
13Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he who speaks honestly is beloved.
13Sie tokosra el lungse lohng ma pwaye, ac el insewowo selos su kaskas suwohs.
14The wrath of a king is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
14Mwet lalmwetmet elos srike in akenganye tokosra, mweyen el fin kasrkusrakak, ac ku in oasr mwet misa.
15When a king’s face brightens, there is life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
15Sie tokosra fin insewowo sum, ac mwe insewowo nu ke moul lom; oana ke pukunyeng use af ke pacl mut.
16How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is more desirable than silver.
16Arulana wo in oasr lalmwetmet ac etauk, liki in oasr gold ac silver.
17The highway of the upright leads away from evil; he who guards his way protects his life.
17Mwet wo elos fufahsryesr ke soko inkanek ma ac tia kololos nu ke ma koluk; ouinge karinganang acn kom fahsr nu we — mweyen ac ku in molela moul lom.
18Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
18Inse fulat ac kol nu ke ongoiya lulap, ac mwet filang elos ac ikori.
19It is better to be lowly in spirit among the humble than to divide the spoil with the proud.
19Wo kom in inse pusisel ac sukasrup, liki na kom in weang mwet inse fulat ac ipeis ke ma wap ma elos pisrala.
20Whoever heeds instruction will find success, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
20Lohang nu ke ma lutiyuk kom kac, na kom ac fah eis moul wo ouiya. Lulalfongi in LEUM GOD ac kom ac fah engan.
21The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant speech promotes instruction.
21Sie mwet lalmwetmet akilenyuk ke etauk lal. Fin wo kas in luti lal, mwet uh ac insewowo in lutlut sel.
22Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly.
22Etauk el sie unon lun moul nu selos su lalmwetmet, a kom fin srike in luti mwet lalfon, kom sisla pacl lom ke wangin.
23The heart of the wise man instructs his mouth and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
23Mwet lalmwetmet elos nunkala mau meet liki elos kaskas; na ma elos fahk uh mwet uh engan in lohng.
24Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
24Kas kulang uh emwem oana honey — wo emah, ac wo pac nu ke mano.
25There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
25Inkanek soko ma kom nunku mu pwaya uh, sahp ac kolkomla nu ke misa.
26A worker’s appetite works for him because his hunger drives him onward.
26Masrinsral lun sie mwet ac oru el orekma upa, tuh in ku in oasr mwe mongo nal.
27A worthless man digs up evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.
27Mwet koluk elos suk inkanek in aklokoalokye mwet. Kas lalos uh firirrir oana e.
28A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip divides close friends.
28Lesrik uh srumunyukelik sin mwet koluk. Elos purakak lokoalok ac kunausla inmasrlon kawuk uh.
29A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good.
29Mwet sulallal elos kiapwela mwet kawuk lalos, ac kololosla nu ke mwe ongoiya.
30He who winks his eye devises perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.
30Taran mwet su kotmwet nu sum ac kikiap in israsr, mweyen oasr ma koluk elos akoo.
31Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is attained along the path of righteousness.
31Lacnen suwoswos pa moul loeleos, ac aunsuf fiaya el oana sie tefuro wolana.
32He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.
32Mongfisrasr wo liki orek ku. Sifacna leum fom, wo liki in leumi siti puspis.
33The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
33Mwet uh susfa in konauk ma lungse lun God, tusruktu God pa sulela top nu kac.
