Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a fool whose lips are perverse.
1Ac wo kom in sukasrup ac suwohs, liki na in lalfon ac kikiap.
2Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.
2Insienaung fin wangin etauk, tia ma wo se; ac orekma in sulaklak ku in sot ongoiya nu sum.
3A man’s own folly subverts his way, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
3Kutu mwet uh sifacna kunauselosla ke orekma lalfon lalos, na toko elos sis nu fin LEUM GOD .
4Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
4Mwet kasrup uh fisrasr in konauk mwet kawuk puspis, a upa mwet sukasrup uh in sruokya mwet kawuk pu lalos.
5A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.
5Kom fin fahk kas kikiap ye mutun nununku, kom ac fah kaiyuk, na ac wangin inkanek in kaingla lom.
6Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
6Mwet nukewa srike in eis ohi sin mwet fulat; ac mwet nukewa kena in kawuk nu sin mwet ma ac kitaung mwe sang nu selos.
7All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
7Sie mwet sukasrup ac pilesreyuk sin sou lal, ac mwet kawuk lal ac pilesral yohk liki. Pacl el sokolos elos wangin.
8He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
8Kom oru sie ma wo nu sum sifacna ke kom lotela ma nukewa ma kom ku. Esamya ma kom lotela uh, na kom ac fah kapkapak.
9A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
9Wangin sie su kaskas kikiap ye mutun nununku ku in kaingkunla kai nu sel. Pwayena lah el ac muta in ongoiya.
10Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
10Tiana fal tuh sie mwet lalfon in yolyak mwe kasrup yorol, oayapa tia fal mwet kohs in leum fin mwet wal fulat.
11A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
11Kom fin sie mwet etu, kom ac ku in kutong kasrkusrak lom. Mwet fin oru ma koluk nu sum, ac arulana wo kom in tia lohang nu kac.
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
12Kasrkusrak lun sie tokosra oana ngutngut lun soko lion, ac kulang lal oana woiyen af uh ke kahkla uh.
13A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
13Sie wen lalfon ku in aksukapasyela papa tumal, ac wowon lun mutan kial uh oana kof tultul su tia tui.
14Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14Sie mukul ku in usrui lohm ac mani sin papa tumal, tuh LEUM GOD mukena ku in sang sie mutan lalmwetmet kial.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
15Kom fin alsrangesr na ac lungse mutul, kom ac masrinsral.
16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
16Kom in liyaung ma sap lun God, na ac fah loes moul lom; kom fin pilesru, kom ac misa.
17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
17Kom fin sang mwe sang nu sin mwet sukasrup, ac oapana ke kom sang nu sin LEUM GOD , ac El ac fah folokin nu sum.
18Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
18Kai tulik nutum ke kom srakna ku in kifasul. Kom fin tia, kom sifacna oakiya inkanek in ongoiya nu selos.
19A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
19Sie mwet fin mongkeke, lela elan sifacna akfalyela ma koluk el orala. Kom fin molella, kom ac enenu in sifilpa molella.
20Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
20Kom fin porongo kas in kasru nu sum ac engan in eis kas in luti, na sie len kom ac fah lalmwetmet.
21Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
21Mwet uh ku in pu kain in ma puspis; tusruktu ma lungse lun LEUM GOD pa ac orek uh.
22The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
22Mwe mwekin se pa in rapku; mwet sukasrup uh wo liki mwet kikiap.
23The fear of the LORD leads to life, that one may rest content, without visitation from harm.
23Akfulatye LEUM GOD na ac fah loes moul lom, ac kom ac fah inse misla ac tia fosrnga.
24The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
24Lupan alsrangesr lun kutu mwet uh oru elos srunga sifacna srukak mwe mongo nu inwalulos.
25Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
25Mwet aksruksruk uh fal in kaiyuk tuh in mwe luti nu sin mwet sulalkung. Kom fin lalmwetmet, kom ac eis etauk ke pacl kaiyuk kom.
26He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
26Sie mwet su oru koluk nu sin papa tumal ku lusla nina kial liki lohm sel, fah mwe mwekin lulap.
27If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
27Wen nutik, pacl se kom tui in eis mwe lutlut, kom ac sa na in mulkunla ma kom lotela tari.
28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
28Wangin nununku suwohs ku in orek sie mwet loh fin sulela ku sel in akkolukye sie mwet. Mwet koluk uh lungse na ma koluk.
29Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
29Pwayena lah mwet aksruksruk lalfon uh ac pulakin sringsring.
