Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1These are the words of King Lemuel—the burden that his mother taught him:
1Kas inge kas oa nu sel Tokosra Lemuel sin nina kial:
2What shall I say, O my son? What, O son of my womb? What, O son of my vows?
2“Kom wen kulo nutik, topken pre luk. Mea fal ngan fahk nu sum?
3Do not spend your strength on women or your vigor on those who ruin kings.
3Nimet kom sisla kuiyom ke inkanek in kosro, ac mani lom ke mutan; ma inge kunausla tari tokosra puspis.
4It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,
4Lemuel, porongeyu. Tokosra uh tia enenu in nim wain, ku oasroasr ke mwe nim ku.
5lest they drink and forget what is decreed, depriving all the oppressed of justice.
5Ke pacl elos nimnim uh, elos mulkunla ma sap, ac pilesrala enenu lun mwet ongoiya.
6Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to the bitter in soul.
6Mwe nim ku uh ma na nu sin mwet ma apkuran in misa, ku elos su keoklana.
7Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
7Lela elos in nim mwe sruhi elos in mulkunla sukasrup lalos ac supwar lalos.
8Open your mouth for those with no voice, for the cause of all the dispossessed.
8“Kom in sramsram in aol mwet su tia ku in sifacna fahkak enenu lalos. Karingin suwohs lalos nukewa su mukaimtal ac kofla in sifacna.
9Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.
9Aolulos sramsram, ac oru kom in sie mwet nununku suwohs. Karingin suwohs lalos su sukasrup ac kwaco.”
10A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies.
10Arulana upa in konauk sie mutan pah in ma nukewa! El saok liki wek yohk molo!
11The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he lacks nothing of value.
11Mukul tumal uh filiya lulalfongi lal sel, ac el fah tiana enenu kutena ma.
12She brings him good and not harm all the days of her life.
12Ke lusen moul lal nufon mutan se inge oru na ma wo nu sin mukul tumal, ac tia oru kutena ma koluk nu sel.
13She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
13El kafofona in orek nuknuk ke unen sheep ac linen.
14She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
14El use mongo nu lohm sel yen loesla me, oana ke oak wiwa kako uh oru.
15She rises while it is still night to provide food for her household and portions for her maidservants.
15El ngutalik meet liki lenelik ac akola mongo nu sin sou lal, ac fahk nu sin mutan kulansap lal ma elos in oru.
16She appraises a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard.
16El suk sie ipin acn ac molela; el orekmakin mani el sruokya in yukwiya ima in grape se.
17She girds herself with strength and shows that her arms are strong.
17El sie mwet alken, ku, ac moniyuk in orekma.
18She sees that her gain is good, and her lamp is not extinguished at night.
18El etu lupan kapak ke ma nukewa el oru, ac el orekma paht ke fong.
19She stretches out her hands to the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
19El sifacna orek turet, ac sang otwela nuknuk.
20She opens her arms to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
20El kulang nu sin mwet sukasrup ac mwet enenu.
21When it snows, she has no fear for her household, for they are all clothed in scarlet.
21El tia fosrnga ke pacl ohu ke sripen oasr nuknuk fusrfusr lun sou lal.
22She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
22El sifacna orala mwe loeyuk bed, ac el nukum nuknuk wowo orekla ke linen sroninmutuk.
23Her husband is known at the city gate, where he sits among the elders of the land.
23Mukul tumal eteyuk in acn sel, ac el sie mwet kol we.
24She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchants.
24Mutan se inge el orek nuknuk ac mwe lohl, ac kukakin nu sin mwet kuka.
25Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the days to come.
25El sie mutan ku in mano su akfulatyeyuk, ac el tia elya ke pacl fahsru.
26She opens her mouth with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
26Kas lal uh lalmwetmet ac kulang.
27She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
27El kafofo pacl nukewa, ac karingin enenu lun sou lal.
28Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband praises her as well:
28Tulik natul akkalemye insewowo lalos sel, ac mukul tumal kaksakunul.
29“Many daughters have done noble things, but you surpass them all!”
29El fahk mu, “Oasr mutan na wo puspis, a kom wo lukelos nukewa.”
30Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
30Kulang uh mwe aklukukye, ac oasku uh tia kawil, a sie mutan su sangeng sin LEUM GOD fal in kaksakinyuk.
31Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her at the gates.
31Kaksakunul ke ma nukewa el orala. Fallana mwet nukewa in akfulatyal.
