Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Speak not any thing rashly, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
1Karinganang fahsr lom nu in Tempul uh. Wo kom in som nu we in eis mwe lutlut, liki in orek kisa oana mwet lalfon su tia etu inmasrlon ma pwaye ac ma sutuu.
2Dreams follow many cares: and in many words shall be found folly.
2Nunkala in wo meet liki kom kaskas, ac nimet oru kutena wulela ingunyar nu sin God. El muta inkusrao ac kom muta fin faclu, ouinge nik kom fahk kas pus liki ma fal kom in fahk.
3If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it.
3Kom fin nunak yokla kom ac mweme koluk, ac kom fin kaskas pusla, kom ac ku in fahk kas lalfon.
4And it is much better not to vow, than after a vow not to perform the things promised.
4Ke kom oru sie wulela nu sin God, aksaye in akfalye. El tia insewowo sin mwet lalfon uh. Oru ma kom wulela kac.
5Give not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin: and say not before the angel: There is no providence: lest God be angry at thy words, and destroy all the works of thy hands.
5Wo kom in tiana orek wulela, liki na kom in orek wulela ac tia akfalye.
6Where there are many dreams, there are many vanities, and words without number: but do thou fear God.
6Nimet lela kas lom uh in eiskomyang nu ke ma koluk, na kom fah tia enenu in som fahk nu sin mwet tol lun God lah kom tafongla. Efu kom ku oru God Elan kasrkusrak sum, ac kunausla ma kom orekma ac kemkatu kac?
7If thou shalt see the oppressions of the poor, and violent judgments, and justice perverted in the province, wonder not at this matter: for he that is high hath another higher, and there are others still higher than these:
7Finne pukanten mweme lom, ac finne pukanten orekma lusrongten lom, ac finne pusla kaskas lom, kom ac enenu na in sunakin God ac akfulatyal.
8Moreover there is the king that reigneth over all the land subject to him.
8Nimet lut ke kom liye ke mwet kol lun sie mutunfacl elos akkeokye mwet sukasrup ac sruokya nununku suwohs lukelos. Kais sie mwet kol liyeyukyang sin sie su fulat lukel, ac eltal kewa karinginyuk selos su fulat lukelos.
9A covetous man shall not be satisfied with money: and he that loveth riches shall reap no fruit from them: so this also is vanity.
9Fahko lun acn uh ma nu sin mwet nukewa. Sripa lun sie tokosra pa elan karingin nien ima uh.
10Where there are great riches, there are also many to eat them. And what doth it profit the owner, but that he seeth the riches with his eyes?
10Kom fin lungse mani, kom ac tia ku in muti; kom fin kena kasrup, ma kom ac eis ac fah tiana fal nu ke lungse lom. Ma inge wangin pac sripa.
11Sleep is sweet to a labouring man, whether he eat little or much: but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
11Mwe kasrup lom fin yokelik, na ac puseni pac mwet kom kite. Pwayena ma wo kom ac eis kac uh pa kom ac etu lah kom kasrup.
12There is also another grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun: riches kept to the hurt of the owner.
12Sie mwet orekma, finne fal ku sufal ma el kang, el ku in motulla wo. Tusruktu sie mwet kasrup, ke sripen puslana ma lal, el ac sensen ac koflana motulla.
13For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want.
13Pa inge sie lumah na koluk nga liye fin faclu: mwet uh ac karingin mani lalos nu ke sie pacl elos ac enenu,
14As he came forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and shall take nothing away with him of his labour.
14ac tok tuhlac nufon ke sie orekma koluk oakwuk kac, na saflaiya wangin ma lula in tutafla nu sin tulik natulos.
15A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind?
15Ke kut isusla nu faclu, wangin ma kut us, ac ke kut ac som liki faclu wangin pac ma kut ac us. Kut finne orekma upa, wangin ma kut ku in us wi kut.
16All the days of his life he eateth in darkness, and in many cares, and in misery, and sorrow.
16Tiana fal in ouinge! Kut ac som oana ke kut tuku. Kut orekma kemkatu, oana kut in srike sruokya eng uh, a mea kut eis kac?
17This therefore hath seemed good to me, that a man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruit of his labour, wherewith he hath laboured under the sun, all the days of his life, which God hath given him: and this is his portion.
17Kut moulkin moul in lohsr, asor, fosrnga, kasrkusrak, ac mas.
18And every man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to enjoy his portion, and to rejoice of his labour: this is the gift of God.
18Pa inge ma nga konauk uh: ma se wo emeet sie mwet in oru pa elan mongo ac nim ac engankin ma el orekma kac ke moul fototo lal ma God El sang nu sel. Pa inge oakwuk lun God nu sin mwet uh.
19For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God entertaineth his heart with delight,
19God El fin sang mwe kasrup ac acn nu sin sie mwet tuh elan engankin, fal elan sang kulo kac ac engankin orekma lal. Ma inge mwe kite sin God me.

20Ke God El oru mwet sac elan engankin ma inge uh, el ac tia arulana nunku ke fototo moul lal uh.
