Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife.
1Wo in kang bread mahi ke inse misla, liki na in wi kufwa in sie lohm ma oasr akukuin we.
2A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren.
2Sie mwet kulansap su oaru ac lalmwetmet fah fulat liki sie wen sununta nutin mwet kacto lal, ouinge el ac wi usrui ma lun tulik nutin mwet kacto lal.
3As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts.
3Gold ac silver uh srikeyuk ke e, ac insien mwet uh srikeyuk sin LEUM GOD .
4The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips.
4Mwet koluk uh lohang nu ke nunak koluk, ac mwet kikiap lungse lohng kas kikiap.
5He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his Maker; and he that rejoiceth at another man’s ruin, shall not be unpunished.
5Kom fin aksruksruki mwet sukasrup, kom aklusrongtenye God su oralosla. Ac fah kaiyuk kom, kom fin engankin ongoiya lun mwet ngia.
6Children’s children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
6Mwet matu uh engankin tulik nutin tulik natulos, oapana ke tulik uh engankin papa tumalos.
7Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.
7Sufal mwet leum in fahk kas kikiap, oayapa kas wo tia tuku sin sie mwet lalfon.
8The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.
8Kutu mwet uh nunku mu eyeinse uh oana mwenmen. Elos lulalfongi mu ku in sang ma nukewa nu selos.
9He that concealeth a transgression. seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
9Kom fin lungse mwet in lungse kom, kom nunak munas nu selos ke ma koluk elos oru nu sum. Kom fin sikalani in sramsramkin, ac ku in kunauselik inmasrlon sie kawuk.
10A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
10Kas in kaiyuk sefanna ku in aksuwosyela sie mwet lalmwetmet, a sringsring siofok tia ku in aksuwosyela sie mwet lalfon.
11An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
11Mwet koluk elos purakak akukuin pacl nukewa, na ac fah supweyukla sie mwet roso sulallal in lainulos.
12It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.
12Kom fin osun nu sin soko bear ma pisrapasrla natu natul, ac srik sensen lom liki kom fin osun nu sin sie mwet lalfon kafofo ke orekma lusrongten lal.
13He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
13Kom fin eis ma wo ac folokin ke ma koluk, ma koluk fah tia ku in wanginla liki lohm sum.
14The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: before he suffereth reproach he forsaketh judgment.
14Mutaweyen sie akukuin oana ke sie dam tufahna srasrelik, ke ma inge tulokinya akukuin sac meet liki ac yokelik.
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God.
15Aksukosokye sie mwet koluk, ku kapriya sie mwet wangin mwata — lumah luo inge kewa srungayuk sin LEUM GOD .
16What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
16Wangin sripa sie mwet lalfon in sisla mani nu ke lutlut, mweyen wangin etauk sel.
17He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress.
17Mwet kawuk uh akkalemye lungse lalos pacl nukewa. Ma kunen sou uh in akasrui ke pacl upa.
18A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend.
18Mwet na wangin nunak la pa ac orek wulela in akfalye soemoul lun siena mwet.
19He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.
19Mwet su lungse ma koluk elos lungse orek lokoalok. Kom fin konkin mwe kasrup lom pacl nukewa, kom purakak lokoalok.
20He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
20Elos su nunak koluk ac kaskas koluk, ac fah wangin ma wo nu selos, a ongoiya mukena.
21A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
21Mwe na asor ac toasr nu sin sie papa ma tulik natul uh oru ma lalfon.
22A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
22Inse engan mwe akkeye monum. A el su kwacna inse toasr, fah akmunasye manol.
23The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
23Mwet nununku sesuwos elos eis mwe eyeinse in lukma. Ke ouinge uh nununku suwohs tiana orekla.
24Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
24Mwet lalkung elos sulela in akwot nu ke soko inkanek lalmwetmet, a mwet lalfon uh takusrkusr ke inkanek puspis.
25A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
25Sie tulik lalfon el mwe toasr nu sin papa tumal, ac akmwenye insien nina kiyal.
26It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.
26Tia wo in sang kaiyuk nu sin mwet wangin mwata, ku kalyeiyuk mwet oru ma pwaye. Fin ouinge, nununku uh kihla.
27He that setteth bounds to his words. is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
27Mwet lalmwetmet na pwaye elos tia oalinkas. Mwet ma muta misla pa liyaten uh.
28Even a fool, if he will hold his peace shall be counted wise: and if he close his lips, a man of understanding.
28Sie mwet lalfon fin muta misla ac tia sramsram, ku in nunkeyuk mu el lalmwetmet.
