1A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery.
1Kom fin likkekelana ke pacl mwet uh aksuwosye kom, sie len kom ac musalla ac tia ku in sifil tuyak.
2When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
2Sie mwet suwoswos fin leum, na mwet nukewa ac engan. Sie mwet sesuwos fin leum, na mwet nukewa asor.
3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
3Kom fin aksaokye lalmwetmet, na papa tomom el ac engan sum. Ma lalfon se in sisla mani ke mutan kosro su kukakin mano.
4By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.
4Sie tokosra su suk ma suwohs, mutunfacl sel ac fah arulana ku; a el fin nunku na ke mani, el ac kunausla mutunfacl sel.
5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
5Kom fin aklukukye kawuk lom an, kom sifacna oakiya sie mwe kwasrip nu sum.

6Mwet koluk uh sifacna sremla in ma koluk lalos, a mwet suwoswos elos on ac engan.
7The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but the wicked have no regard for such concerns.
7Mwet wo elos kalem ke enenu lun mwet sukasrup, a mwet koluk elos tiana nunku ke ma inge.

8Mwet folkas uh ku in akfohsyauk siti nufon se. Elos su lalmwetmet ku in akmisyela.
9If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.
9Ke sie mwet lalmwetmet el usak sie mwet lalfon nu in nununku, mwet lalfon sac ac israsr ac wowoyak ke kas in sufan nu sel.
10Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.
10Mwet akmas uh kwase mwet ma oru ma suwohs, a mwet suwoswos elos ac suk in loango moul lun mwet suwohs.

13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.
13Mwet sukasrup ac mwet su akkeokyalos elos oana sie in lumah se inge: LEUM GOD pa oru elos in ku in liye.
14A king who judges the poor with fairness— his throne will be established forever.

15Ma wowo se in kai ac aksuwosye sie tulik. Fin filfilla elan oru lungse lal sifacna, ac fah mwe mwekin nu sin nina kial.
16When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
16Ke pacl mwet koluk uh kol, ma koluk ac yokelik. Tusruktu mwet suwoswos ac fah moul ac liye ke mwet inge tila kol.
17Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.

18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the Law.
