Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ear to my insight,
1Wen nutik, lohng kas in lalmwetmet luk ac porongo etauk luk.
2that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
2Na ouiyen moul lom ac fah suwohs, ac kas lom ac fahkak lah oasr etu lom.
3Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil,
3Ngoasron mutan kien siena mukul ac ku in emwem oana honey, ac oalul fwel oana oil in olive,
4in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword.
4tusruktu ke safla pwar nukewa, mwe keok mukena pa ac tuku kac.
5Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to Sheol.
5Mutan sac ac kolkomla nu in facl in misa. Inkanek ma el fahsr kac pa inkanek nu ke misa.
6She does not consider the path of life; she does not know that her ways are unstable.
6El kuhfla ac alfokfokla liki inkanek in moul, ac el tia akilen acn el fahsr we.
7So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
7Lohngyu inge, wen nutik uh, ac tia mulkunla ma nga fahk nu suwos.
8Keep your path far from her; do not go near the door of her house,
8Fahsr liki mutan ouinge uh! Nimet kalukyang nu ke mutunoa sel.
9lest you concede your vigor to others, and your years to one who is cruel;
9Kom fin oru, na sunak ma tuh orek nu sum meet ac fah orek nu sin kutu na mwet, na kom ac fah fusr na misa inpoun mwet wangin pakomuta yoro.
10lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.
10Aok, mwetsac uh ac eisla mwe kasrup lom nukewa, ac ma kom kemkatu nu kac ac fah ma lun siena mwet.
11At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are spent,
11Kom ac fah oan sasao fin mwe oan kiom. Ikom ac monum ac fah mongola,
12and you will say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!
12ac kom fah fahk, “Efu ku nga koflana etala? Efu ku nga tuh srunga mwet in lutiyu?
13I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my mentors.
13Nga tuh tiana lohang nu sin mwet luti luk nukewa, ac tiana porongalos.
14I am on the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly.”
14Ac inge nga akilenak lah akmwekinyeyuk nga sin mwet nukewa.”
15Drink water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well.
15Kom in pwaye nu sin mutan kiom sifacna, ac sang lungse lom nu sel mukena.
16Why should your springs flow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
16Tulik ma kom osweang nu sin kutena mutan saya uh, ac wangin sripa nu sum.
17Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
17Lela tulik nutum uh in kapak ac kasrekom, a in tia muta kasru mwet saya.
18May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth:
18Ke ma inge kom in engan sin mutan kiom, aok mutan fusr se na ma kom tuh payukyak se ah,
19A loving doe, a graceful fawn— may her breasts satisfy you always; may you be captivated by her love forever.
19su tuh kato ac wo lumah oana soko deer mutan. Lela oaskuiyal in mwe akenganye kom. Lela elan kafiskomi ke lungse lal.
20Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, or embrace the bosom of a stranger?
20Wen nutik, efu ku kom in sang lungse lom nu sin siena mutan? Efu kom kaukya iniwen mutan kien siena mukul?
21For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and the LORD examines all his paths.
21LEUM GOD El liye ma nukewa kom oru. Acn nukewa kom fahsr nu we, El liye kom.
22The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him.
22Orekma koluk lun sie mwet koluk oana sie mwe kwasrip. El ac sremla ke sie nwek ke koluk lal sifacna.
23He dies for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
23El misa ke sripen el tia sifacna liyaung orekma lal. Lalfon lal pa kololla nu in kulyuk lal uh.
