Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
1Wen nutik, ya kom wulela in akfalye soemoul lun siena mwet?
2if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
2Ya kom sremla ke kas lom sifacna, ac sruhu ke wulela lom sifacna?
3then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.
3Ke ouinge, wen nutik, kom muta ye ku lun mwet sacn, tusruktu pa inge inkanek se ma ac ku in tulekomla liki uh: sulaklak nu yorol ac kwafe elan tulekomla.
4Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
4Nimet motulla ku mongla nwe ke na kom orala.
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
5Srola liki kwasrip sacn oana sie won, ku soko deer ma kaingla liki sie mwet sruh kosro.
6Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
6Mwet alsrangesr uh enenu in lutlut ke ouiyen moul lun mak uh.
7Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,
7Wangin mwet kol, mwet fulat, ku mwet leum lalos,
8it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.
8a elos etu in elosak mwe mongo nalos ke pacl fol, in akola nu ke pacl mihsrisr.
9How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
9Mwet alsrangesr se ac oan nwe ngac? El ac tukakek ngac?
10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
10El fahk, “Nga ac motullana kutu srisrik. Nga ac elongak pouk ac monglana kitin pacl.”
11and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
11A ke el motul, ma lal nukewa ac wanginla, oana in pisrapasrla sin sie mwet sulallal.
12A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
12Mwet lusrongten ac mwet koluk elos forfor ac kinauk kas kikiap.
13winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.
13Elos kotmwet ac oru mwe akul ke lumahlos in kiapwekom,
14With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.
14ac pacl se na elos oru ma inge uh elos akoo in oru pwapa sulallal ma oan selos. Elos pirakak ma koluk yen nukewa.
15Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.
15Ke ma inge mwe ongoiya ac fah sikyak nu selos tia suiyak pah, ac elos fah kunausyukla ac wangin kasru ku in orek nu selos.
16There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
16Oasr ma onkosr su LEUM GOD El srunga; aok, itkosr mwe srungayuk nu sel su El tia ku in muteng pa inge:
17haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
17Ngetnget filang, Loh kikiap, Po su aksororye srahn mwet wangin mwata,
18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
18Sie inse su kinauk pwapa koluk, Ne su sa in kasrusr nu ke ma koluk,
19a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.
19Sie mwet orek loh kikiap, Ac sie mwet su pirakak mwe sraclik in masrlon sou.
20My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
20Wen nutik, oru ma papa tomom el fahk nu sum, ac nik kom mulkunla ma nina kiom el luti kom kac.
21Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.
21Sruokya kas lalos in oanna insiom pacl nukewa.
22When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.
22Mwe luti lalos uh ac kol kom ke pacl kom fufahsryesr, ac karingin kom ke fong, ac akkalemye ma kom in oru ke len.
23For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
23Mwe luti lalos uh sie kalem nu sum, ac kas in kai lalos ac fah luti kom ke ouiyen moul.
24to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
24Ku in sruokkomi liki mutan koluk, ac liki kas in akmunas lun mutan kien kutena mukul saya.
25Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
25Nimet sruhfla ke oasku lalos, nimet sremla ke elos kotmwet nu sum uh.
26For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
26Sie mukul ku in sang na molin lof in bread se in moli sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, tuh el fin orek kosro nu sin mutan kien siena mukul, ma lal nukewa ac fah wanginla.
27Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
27Ya kom ku in us e iniwom ac nuknuk lom tia firiryak?
28Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
28Ya kom ku in fahsr fin mulut fol ac niom tia folla?
29So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
29Sensen ke ma inge oapana ke kom utyak nu yurin mutan kien siena mukul. Kutena mwet su oru ouinge uh ac sun keok.
30Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger.
30Mwet uh tia arulana srunga mwet pusr el fin pisrapasr in akkihpyal ke el masrinsral;
31Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.
31a el fin koneyukyak, el enenu in akfalye pacl itkosr — el enenu in sang ma lal nukewa.
32He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
32Tusruktu sie mukul su orek kosro nu sin mutan kien siena mukul, wangin etauk lal. El sifacna oru ma ac kunausulla.
33Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
33Ac fah akkolukyeyuk el, anwuk el, ac mwekin lal ac fah tiana wanginla nwe tok.
34For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.
34Wangin kasrkusrak lun sie mukul payuk ku in oana kasrkusrak lal ke el lemta; ac fah wangin nunak munas lal nu sin mukul sac ke pacl se el ac orek foloksak kac.
35He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
35El ac fah tia eis kutena mwe moul in akfalye; wangin kutena mwe kite ku in akwoyela kasrkusrak lal uh.
