Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1These are the words of Agur son of Jakeh—the burden that this man declared to Ithiel: “I am weary, O God, and worn out.
1Pa inge kas in palu lal Agur, wen natul Jakeh. El fahk, “God El tia wiyu, God El tia wiyu, Nga munas ac wangin ku luk.
2Surely I am the most ignorant of men, and I lack the understanding of a man.
2Nga lalfon oana soko kosro, Ac wangin etauk lun mwet in nga.
3I have not learned wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
3Nga soenna lutlut ke lalmwetmet, Ac wanginna etu luk ke God.
4Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son— surely you know!
4Su nu sowak nu inkusrao ac sifilpa oatui? Su nu sruokani eng uh inpaol? Ku nokomla kof uh in sie ipin nuknuk? Ku oakiya masrol lun faclu? Kom fin etu, fahkak lah su el an, ac su wen natul.
5Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
5“God El akpwayei wuleang nukewa lal. El oana sie mwe loeyuk nu selos nukewa su suk in moulla yorol.
6Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.
6Kom fin laesla kas lal ke kutena kas ma El tia fahk, El ac fah kai kom, ac akkalemye lah kom sie mwet kikiap.”
7Two things I ask of You— do not refuse me before I die:
7O God, nga siyuk sum, ase nu sik ma luo inge meet liki nga misa:
8Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.
8kasreyu ngan tia kikiap, ac oru tuh ngan tia arulana kasrup ku tia pac arulana sukasrup. Ke ma inge ase nu sik lupan mwe mongo ma ac fal nu ke enenu luk.
9Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God.
9Fin yokla ma oan yuruk, sahp nga ac fahk mu nga tia enenekom. A nga fin arulana sukasrup, sahp nga ac ku in pisrapasr ac akkolukye Inen God luk.
10Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.
10Nimet akkolukye sie mwet kulansap nu sin mwet kacto lal. Sahp el ac selngawi kom ac kom ac eis mwata kac.
11There is a generation of those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
11Oasr mwet su selngawi papa tumalos, ac tia akkalemye srui lalos ke nina kialos.
12There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.
12Oasr mwet nunku mu nasnas na moul lalos, a pwayeiya uh yohk fohkfok lalos.
13There is a generation—how haughty are their eyes and pretentious are their glances—
13Oasr mwet nunku mu elos arulana wo — oru elos arulana inse fulat!
14there is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are knives, devouring the oppressed from the earth and the needy from among men.
14Oasr mwet su eis kasrpalos ke elos aklalfonye ac pisre ma lun mwet sukasrup ac mwet kwaco.
15The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
15Oasr fak mutan se nutin wet nim srah soko, ac ineltal kewa pa, “Use!” Oasr ma akosr ma wangin saflaiyen enenu la:
16Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’
16facl sin mwet misa, sie mutan talap, sie acn pao ma enenu af, ac sie e firir ma tia ku in kuniyukla.
17As for the eye that mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, may the ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures devour it.
17Sie mwet su aksruksrukkin papa tumal, ku pilesru nina kial ke el matuoh, fal in mongola sin won vulture, ku tupla atronmutal sin won raven.
18There are three things too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:
18Oasr ma akosr ma nga tiana ku in kalem kac:
19the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.
19ouiyen sohksok lun sie eagle yen engyeng uh, ouiyen orakrak lun soko wet fin sie eot, ouiyen soko oak ma konauk inkanek la fin meoa, ac ouiyen sie mukul ac mutan se el lungse.
20This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
20Pa inge luman sie mutan payuk su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal: el orek kosro, toko el yihla ac fahk, “Wanginna ma koluk nga oru!”
21Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:
21Oasr ma akosr faclu tia ku in mutangla:
22a servant who becomes king, a fool who is filled with food,
22Sie mwet kohs su sun wal lun tokosra, sie mwet lalfon su arulana kihp,
23an unloved woman who marries, and a maidservant who supplants her mistress.
23sie mutan kwaseyuk su payukyak, ac sie mutan kulansap su eisla acn sin mutan kacto lal.
24Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:
24Oasr ma akosr fin faclu su srik ac arulana lalmwetmet:
25The ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
25Mak — elos ne munas a elos elosak mongo nalos ke pacl fol;
26the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;
26Kosro badger — elos tia pac ku, tuh elos orala nien muta lalos inmasrlon eot uh.
27the locusts have no king, yet they all advance in formation;
27Locust — wangin tokosra lalos, tuh elos ueni sohk.
28and the lizard can be caught in one’s hands, yet it is found in the palaces of kings.
28Kinoul — kom ku in sruokya soko inpoum, ac kom ku pac in konauk ke inkul fulat sin tokosra.
29There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:
29Oasr ma akosr arulana kato luman fahsr la uh:
30a lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything;
30lion — kosro soko ma ku emeet ac wangin sangeng lal sin kutena kosro;
31a strutting rooster; a he-goat; and a king with his army around him.
31nani, won mukul, ac tokosra uh ke elos tu ye mutun mwet lalos.
32If you have foolishly exalted yourself or if you have plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.
32Kom fin lalfon ac sifacna akfulatye kom in oru pwapa koluk, tui ac nunkala akwoya!
33For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”
33Kom fin arukak milk, na ac ekla butter. Kom fin fiskiya infwen sie mwet, ac srahsra. Kom fin akkasrkusrakyauk mwet, kom ac ongoiya.
