Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.
1Kut ku in oru pwapa lasr, tusruktu kas safla kac uh ma lun God.
2All the ways of a man are open to his eyes: the Lord is the weigher of spirits.
2Kom ac nunku mu ma nukewa kom oru uh suwohs, tuh LEUM GOD El liye nunak lun insiom.
3Lay open thy works to the Lord: and thy thoughts shall be directed.
3Siyuk LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye pwapa lom, na kom ac fah ku in orala.
4The Lord hath made all things for himself: the wicked also for the evil day.
4Ma nukewa LEUM GOD El orala ac oasr saflaiya; na saflaiyen mwet koluk uh pa in sikiyukla.
5Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice; and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.
5LEUM GOD El srunga mwet nukewa su filang. El ac fah tia lela elos in kaingkunla mwe kaiyuk nu selos.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is redeemed: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
6Kom in oaru ac inse pwaye, ac God El fah nunak munas ke ma koluk lom. Alfulatye LEUM GOD na wangin ma koluk ac fah sikyak nu sum.
7When the ways of man shall please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.
7Pacl kom akinsewowoye LEUM GOD , mwet lokoalok lom uh ac ekla mwet kawuk lom.
8Better is a little with justice, than great revenues with iniquity.
8Kom fin eis srik ke inkanek suwohs, wo liki ke kom eis yohk ke inkanek sesuwos.
9The heart of man disposeth his way: but the Lord must direct his steps.
9Kom ku in lumahla ma kom ac oru, a God pa ac oakiya inkanek lom.
10Divination is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not err in judgment.
10Tokosra el kaskas ke ku sin God me; na sulela lal pwaye pacl nukewa.
11Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.
11LEUM GOD El lungse tuh mwe paun ac mwe srikasrak nukewa in suwohs, ac molin mwe kuka in fal.
12They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.
12Tokosra elos tia ku in lela ma koluk in orek, mweyen nununku suwohs pa oru sie mutunfacl in ku.
13Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved.
13Sie tokosra el lungse lohng ma pwaye, ac el insewowo selos su kaskas suwohs.
14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: and the wise man will pacify it.
14Mwet lalmwetmet elos srike in akenganye tokosra, mweyen el fin kasrkusrakak, ac ku in oasr mwet misa.
15In the cheerfulness of the king’s countenance is life: and his clemency is like the latter rain.
15Sie tokosra fin insewowo sum, ac mwe insewowo nu ke moul lom; oana ke pukunyeng use af ke pacl mut.
16Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.
16Arulana wo in oasr lalmwetmet ac etauk, liki in oasr gold ac silver.
17The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.
17Mwet wo elos fufahsryesr ke soko inkanek ma ac tia kololos nu ke ma koluk; ouinge karinganang acn kom fahsr nu we — mweyen ac ku in molela moul lom.
18Pride goeth before destruction: and the spirit is lifted up before a fall.
18Inse fulat ac kol nu ke ongoiya lulap, ac mwet filang elos ac ikori.
19It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the proud.
19Wo kom in inse pusisel ac sukasrup, liki na kom in weang mwet inse fulat ac ipeis ke ma wap ma elos pisrala.
20The learned in word shall find good things: and he that trusteth in the Lord is blessed.
20Lohang nu ke ma lutiyuk kom kac, na kom ac fah eis moul wo ouiya. Lulalfongi in LEUM GOD ac kom ac fah engan.
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words shall attain to greater things.
21Sie mwet lalmwetmet akilenyuk ke etauk lal. Fin wo kas in luti lal, mwet uh ac insewowo in lutlut sel.
22Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.
22Etauk el sie unon lun moul nu selos su lalmwetmet, a kom fin srike in luti mwet lalfon, kom sisla pacl lom ke wangin.
23The heart of the wise shall instruct his mouth: and shall add grace to his lips.
23Mwet lalmwetmet elos nunkala mau meet liki elos kaskas; na ma elos fahk uh mwet uh engan in lohng.
24Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
24Kas kulang uh emwem oana honey — wo emah, ac wo pac nu ke mano.
25There is a way that seemeth to a man right: and the ends thereof lead to death.
25Inkanek soko ma kom nunku mu pwaya uh, sahp ac kolkomla nu ke misa.
26The soul of him that laboureth, laboureth for himself, because his mouth hath obliged him to it.
26Masrinsral lun sie mwet ac oru el orekma upa, tuh in ku in oasr mwe mongo nal.
27The wicked man diggeth evil, and in his lips is a burning fire.
27Mwet koluk elos suk inkanek in aklokoalokye mwet. Kas lalos uh firirrir oana e.
28A perverse man stirreth up quarrels: and one full of words separateth princes.
28Lesrik uh srumunyukelik sin mwet koluk. Elos purakak lokoalok ac kunausla inmasrlon kawuk uh.
29An unjust man allureth his friend: and leadeth him into a way that is not good.
29Mwet sulallal elos kiapwela mwet kawuk lalos, ac kololosla nu ke mwe ongoiya.
30He that with fixed eyes deviseth wicked things, biting his lips, bringeth: evil to pass.
30Taran mwet su kotmwet nu sum ac kikiap in israsr, mweyen oasr ma koluk elos akoo.
31Old age is a crown of dignity, when it is found in the ways of justice.
31Lacnen suwoswos pa moul loeleos, ac aunsuf fiaya el oana sie tefuro wolana.
32The patient man is better than the valiant: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh cities.
32Mongfisrasr wo liki orek ku. Sifacna leum fom, wo liki in leumi siti puspis.
33Lots are cast into the lap, but they are disposed of by the Lord.
33Mwet uh susfa in konauk ma lungse lun God, tusruktu God pa sulela top nu kac.
