Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
1Mwet se ma tia lungse kupasr nu sin mwet, el nunku kacl sifacna. El ac tiana insese nu ke ma mwet ngia pangon mu suwohs.
2A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
2Sie mwet lalfon el lungse fahk nunak lal sifacna. El tia suk elan kalem ke nunak lun mwet ngia.
3The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
3Ma koluk ac mwekin uh tukeni fahsr. Kom fin orala sie ma koluk, ac sufanyuk kom.
4Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
4Kas lun sie mwet ac ku in ase lalmwetmet — loal oana meoa, ac loslos oana soko infacl.
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
5Tia wo in wi layen lun mwet ma orala ma koluk, mweyen ac ku in sruokya nununku suwohs liki mwet wangin mwata.
6The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
6Ke pacl se mwet lalfon el purakak sie akukuin, el sifacna suk in sringsring el.
7The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
7Ke sie mwet lalfon el kaskas, el sifacna akkolukyalla; el sruhu ke kas lal sifacna.
8The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
8Arulana wo eman lesrik uh. Kut lungse na ukumya.
9He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
9Koluk lun sie mwet alsrangesr, oapana koluk lun sie mwet kunausten.
10The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
10LEUM GOD El oana sie tower na ku, yen mwet suwoswos ku in som ac wikla we.
11The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
11Mwet kasrup elos nunku mu mwe kasrup lalos ac karinganulos oana pot fulat ma rauneak sie siti.
12Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
12Sie mwet inse pusisel ac fah akfulatyeyuk. El su inse fulat ac fah sun ongoiya.
13He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
13Porongo meet liki kom topuk. Kom fin tia oru ouinge, kom oana sie mwet lalfon ac kom ac fah mwekin.
14The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
14Kuiyen nunak lom ku in kasrekom ke pacl kom mas. Fin wanginla, na finsrak lom ac wanginla pac.
15A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
15Sie mwet lalmwetmet el suk in akyokye etauk lal pacl nukewa.
16A man’s gift enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
16Kom fin ke osun nu sin sie mwet fulat, us sie mwe sang an lom nu sel, na ac fah fisrasr kom in sonol.
17The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
17Ke pacl in nununku, mwet se ma sramsram meet ac lumweyuk mu el pa pwaye, nwe ke pacl se mwet se lainul uh mutawauk in kisen siyuk sel.
18The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
18Mwet fulat luo fin amei in acn in nununku, na susfa pa ku in aksafyela.
19A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
19Kasru ma lim ac el ac fah karingin kom oana sie pot ku lun siti uh. A kom fin akukuin nu sel, el ac fah kaliya srungul lal nu sum.
20Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
20Kom ac fah kosrani ma wo ku ma koluk ke kas nukewa kom fahk.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
21Ma kom fahk uh ku in karingin moul ku kunausla moul; ouinge kom ac sifacna eis fokin ma kom fahk.
22He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
22El su konauk sie mutan kial el konauk sie ma arulana wo; ma inge akkalemye kulang lun LEUM GOD nu sel.
23The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
23Pacl sie mwet sukasrup el kaskas el enenu in kas fisrasr. A top lun mwet kasrup uh arulana kou.
24A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
24Kutu kawuk uh tiana kawil, a kutu kawuk uh wo liki na tamulel.
