Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1A good name is better than great riches: and good favour is above silver and gold.
1Kom ac fin sule inmasrlon elah wo ac mwe kasrup, sulela elah wo.
2The rich and poor have met one another: the Lord is the maker of them both.
2Oasr ma se mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie kac: elos kewa orekla sin LEUM GOD .
3The prudent man saw the evil, and hid himself: the simple passed on, and suffered loss.
3Ke pacl se mwe lokoalok tuku, mwet etu elos ac fahsr liki; a sie mwet wangin nunak la ac fahsryang nu kac, na toko el auli.
4The fruit of humility is the fear of the Lord, riches and glory and life.
4Akfulatye LEUM GOD ac inse pusisel, na kom ac fah kasrup, sunakinyuk, ac loes moul lom.
5Arms and swords are in the way of the perverse: but he that keepeth his own soul departeth far from them.
5Kom fin lungse moul lom, na fahsr liki mwe kwasrip ma srumasrla mwet koluk ke inkanek lalos.
6It is a proverb: A young man according to his way, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
6Luti nu sin sie tulik inkanek fal elan fahsr kac, na ke el matula el fah tia fahsr liki.
7The rich ruleth over the poor: and the borrower is servant to him that lendeth.
7Mwet sukasrup elos mwet kulansap lun mwet kasrup. Ouinge, kom fin ngisre mani sin sie mwet, na kom mwet kulansap lun mwet sac.
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap evils, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed.
8Kutena mwet su taknelik fita lun orekma koluk ac fah kosrani ongoiya, na kasrkusrak upa lalos ac safla.
9He that is inclined to mercy shall be blessed: for of his bread he hath given to the poor. He that maketh presents shall purchase victory and honour: but he carrieth away the souls of the receivers.
9Kom in kulang ac kasru mwet sukasrup ke mwe mongo nom, na ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk kom.
10Cast out the scoffer, and contention shall go out with him, and quarrels and reproaches shall cease.
10Sisla mwet se ma inse fulat, na ac fah wanginla akukuin, amei, ac akkolukye sie sin sie.
11He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.
11El su lungse inse nasnas ac kaskas kulang, tokosra el ac mwet kawuk lal.
12The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge: and the words of the unjust are overthrown.
12LEUM GOD El akkeye mwet orekma pwaye, a El tia akkeye kas kikiap lun mwet kutasrik.
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.
13Sie mwet alsrangesr el mutana in lohm sel; el mu el fin tufoki soko lion ac sruokilya.
14The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit: he whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.
14Kas lun sie mutan koluk oana sie luf na loal. Elos su akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD fah putatyang nu loac.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of correction shall drive it away.
15Tulik srisrik uh ac nuna oru ma lalfon ke elos srik, tuh kaiyuk wo uh ac lotelos in oru ma fal.
16He that oppresseth the poor, to increase his own riches, shall himself give to one that is richer, and shall be in need.
16Kom fin sang mwe kite nu sin mwet kasrup, ku akkeokye mwet sukasrup in akyokye ma laesla lom, kom ac sifacna oru tuh kom in sukasrup.
17Incline thy ear, and hear the words of the wise: and apply thy heart to my doctrine:
17Porongo, ac nga fah luti nu sum kas lun mwet lalmwetmet. Lotela mwe luti lalos,
18Which shall be beautiful for thee, if thou keep it in thy bowels, and it shall flow in thy lips:
18ac kom ac fah insewowo kom fin esam ac kaliya.
19That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day.
19Nga lungse kom in filiya lulalfongi lom in LEUM GOD ; pa oru nga akola in fahkak ma inge nu sum misenge.
20Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge:
20Nga simusla tari kas lalmwetmet tolngoul nu sum. Oasr kas in etauk ac kas in kasru
21That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee.
21su ac fah luti nu sum kalmen ma suwohs ac pwaye. Na pacl se ac supweyukla kom in konauk, kom ac foloko use top suwohs.
22Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate:
22Nimet pisre ma lun mwet sukasrup ke sripenna kom ku lukelos. Nimet orek kutasrik nu selos su wangin kasreyalos in acn in nununku.
23Because the Lord will judge his cause, and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul.
23LEUM GOD El ac fah aululos sramsram, ac El ac fah kalyaelos su akkeokye mwet sukasrup ingan.
24Be not a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man:
24Nimet asruoki nu sin mwet mongsa,
25Lest perhaps thou learn his ways, and take scandal to thy soul.
25sahp kom ac lotela ouiya lalos ac kofla ekulla tok.
26Be not with them that fasten down their hands, and that offer themselves sureties for debts:
26Nimet wulela in fosrngakin soemoul lun kutena mwet.
27For if thou have not wherewith to restore, what cause is there, that he should take the covering from thy bed?
27Kom fin kofla in akfalyela, elos ac eisla ma lom nukewa, finne mwe oan kiom.
28Pass not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set.
28Nimet mokle akilenyen sie masrol matu ma oakwuki sin mwet matu lom somla.
29Hast thou seen a man swift in his work? he shall stand before kings, and shall not be before those that are obscure.
29Kom fin konauk sie mwet pah ac wo ke orekma, el ac fal in orekma nu sin tokosra, ac tia nu sin mwet pilasr.
