Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold.
1Kom ac fin sule inmasrlon elah wo ac mwe kasrup, sulela elah wo.
2The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is Maker of them all.
2Oasr ma se mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie kac: elos kewa orekla sin LEUM GOD .
3The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences.
3Ke pacl se mwe lokoalok tuku, mwet etu elos ac fahsr liki; a sie mwet wangin nunak la ac fahsryang nu kac, na toko el auli.
4The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD are wealth and honor and life.
4Akfulatye LEUM GOD ac inse pusisel, na kom ac fah kasrup, sunakinyuk, ac loes moul lom.
5Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them.
5Kom fin lungse moul lom, na fahsr liki mwe kwasrip ma srumasrla mwet koluk ke inkanek lalos.
6Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
6Luti nu sin sie tulik inkanek fal elan fahsr kac, na ke el matula el fah tia fahsr liki.
7The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
7Mwet sukasrup elos mwet kulansap lun mwet kasrup. Ouinge, kom fin ngisre mani sin sie mwet, na kom mwet kulansap lun mwet sac.
8He who sows injustice will reap disaster, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
8Kutena mwet su taknelik fita lun orekma koluk ac fah kosrani ongoiya, na kasrkusrak upa lalos ac safla.
9A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
9Kom in kulang ac kasru mwet sukasrup ke mwe mongo nom, na ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk kom.
10Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.
10Sisla mwet se ma inse fulat, na ac fah wanginla akukuin, amei, ac akkolukye sie sin sie.
11He who loves a pure heart and gracious lips will have the king for a friend.
11El su lungse inse nasnas ac kaskas kulang, tokosra el ac mwet kawuk lal.
12The LORD’s eyes keep watch over knowledge, but He frustrates the words of the faithless.
12LEUM GOD El akkeye mwet orekma pwaye, a El tia akkeye kas kikiap lun mwet kutasrik.
13The slacker says, “There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!”
13Sie mwet alsrangesr el mutana in lohm sel; el mu el fin tufoki soko lion ac sruokilya.
14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.
14Kas lun sie mutan koluk oana sie luf na loal. Elos su akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD fah putatyang nu loac.
15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
15Tulik srisrik uh ac nuna oru ma lalfon ke elos srik, tuh kaiyuk wo uh ac lotelos in oru ma fal.
16Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty.
16Kom fin sang mwe kite nu sin mwet kasrup, ku akkeokye mwet sukasrup in akyokye ma laesla lom, kom ac sifacna oru tuh kom in sukasrup.
17Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise— apply your mind to my knowledge—
17Porongo, ac nga fah luti nu sum kas lun mwet lalmwetmet. Lotela mwe luti lalos,
18for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.
18ac kom ac fah insewowo kom fin esam ac kaliya.
19So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.
19Nga lungse kom in filiya lulalfongi lom in LEUM GOD ; pa oru nga akola in fahkak ma inge nu sum misenge.
20Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
20Nga simusla tari kas lalmwetmet tolngoul nu sum. Oasr kas in etauk ac kas in kasru
21to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?
21su ac fah luti nu sum kalmen ma suwohs ac pwaye. Na pacl se ac supweyukla kom in konauk, kom ac foloko use top suwohs.
22Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,
22Nimet pisre ma lun mwet sukasrup ke sripenna kom ku lukelos. Nimet orek kutasrik nu selos su wangin kasreyalos in acn in nununku.
23for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.
23LEUM GOD El ac fah aululos sramsram, ac El ac fah kalyaelos su akkeokye mwet sukasrup ingan.
24Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,
24Nimet asruoki nu sin mwet mongsa,
25or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
25sahp kom ac lotela ouiya lalos ac kofla ekulla tok.
26Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
26Nimet wulela in fosrngakin soemoul lun kutena mwet.
27If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
27Kom fin kofla in akfalyela, elos ac eisla ma lom nukewa, finne mwe oan kiom.
28Do not move an ancient boundary stone which your fathers have placed.
28Nimet mokle akilenyen sie masrol matu ma oakwuki sin mwet matu lom somla.
29Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will be stationed in the presence of kings; he will not stand before obscure men.
29Kom fin konauk sie mwet pah ac wo ke orekma, el ac fal in orekma nu sin tokosra, ac tia nu sin mwet pilasr.
