Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Dying flies spoil the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a small and shortlived folly.
1Loang misa uh ku in oru sufa nufon soko ke mwe akmusra keng in kolukla fohlo, ouinge ouiya na lalfon srisrik se ku in akkolukyela lalmwetmet na lulap.
2The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand.
2Sie mwet lalmwetmet el pahlana in oru ma suwohs, ac sie mwet lalfon el pahla in oru ma sutuu.
3Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas be himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.
3Lalfon lal uh ac kalem sin mwet nukewa, finne mwetsac ma fufahsryesr inkanek uh elos ac ku pac in akilen.
4If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease.
4Mwet kol lom fin kasrkusrakak sum, nimet kom sisla orekma lom an, mweyen muteng uh ku in akmisye inse toasr na yohk.
5There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince:
5Pa inge sie ouiya sesuwos nga konauk fin faclu — ouiya se inge ma orek sin mwet kol.
6A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath.
6Itukyang kunokon fulat nu sin mwet lalfon, a mwet kasrup elos oru orekma pusisel.
7I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants.
7Nga liye tari ke mwet kohs uh kasrusr fin horse, ac mwet leum elos fahsrna oana mwet kohs uh.
8He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
8Kom fin pukanak sie luf, kom ac ku in putatyang nu loac. Kom fin fokolla sie pot, soko serpent in pot uh ac ku in ngaliskomi.
9He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them.
9Kom fin orekma ke sie acn in pukpuk eot, kom ku na in ngalyak kac. Kom fin lip etong, kom ku in ongoiya kac.
10If the iron be blunt, and be not as before, but be made blunt, with much labour it shall be sharpened: and after industry shall follow wisdom.
10Tuhla lom ah fin safit ac kom tia tamla, kom ac kemkatu ke orekmakinya. Mwet lalmwetmet uh elos motkwala arulana wo meet, na saflaiya uh wo.
11If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly.
11Kom finne etu in akmunaye soko serpent, ac wangin sripa kom fin fuhlela in ngaliskomi meet.
12The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.
12Kas lun sie mwet lalmwetmet ac oru mwet uh in akfulatyal, a kas lun sie mwet lalfon sifacna kunausulla.
13The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.
13El mutawauk ke kaskas lusrongten, na saflaiya el arulana kaskas wel.
14A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
14Sie mwet lalfon el sramsram loeloes. Wangin sie mwet etu lah mea ac sikyak toko, ac wangin sie mwet ku in fahkma lah mea ac sikyak tukun kut misa.
15The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not bow to go to the city.
15Sie mwet su sifacna aktotoyella ke orekma upalana lal, el oana mwet lalfon se su nukanla innek nu lohm sel ah.
16Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and when the princes eat in the morning.
16Tokosra lun sie mutunfacl fin sie mwet fusr, ac mwet kol we fin orek kufwa ke fong fon, facl sac ac fah sun ongoiya.
17Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, and whose princes eat in due season for refreshment, and not for riotousness.
17Tusruktu sie tokosra fin ma ke sou leum, ac mwet kol elos mongo in akkeye manolos ac sifacna liyalosyang in tia sruhi, na mutunfacl sac fah insewowo.
18By slothfulness a building shall be brought down, and through the weakness of hands, the house shall drop through.
18Mwet se fin alsrangesr in onala fahsu ke lohm sel, na ac wohn, ac lohm sac ac musalla.
19For laughter they make bread, and wine that the living may feast: and all things obey money.
19Mwe mongo uh akenganye mwet uh, ac wain uh akpwaryalos, tusruktu ma inge kewa tia ku in orek fin wangin mani.
20Detract not the king, no not in thy thought; and speak not evil of the rich man in thy private chamber: because even the birds of the air will carry thy voice, and he that hath wings will tell what thou hast said.
20Nimet akkolukye tokosra finne in nunak lom, ac nimet akkolukye mwet kasrup finne infukil in motul sum sifacna. Sie won sohksok ku in tafwela kas inge nu selos.
