Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
1Nimet sok sin mwet koluk, ac nimet oru kom in kawuk selos.
2Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
2Pacl nukewa elos pwapa sulal, ac sramsram lalos mwe na purakak lokoalok.
3By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
3Lohm uh musaiyuk fin pwelung lun lalmwetmet ac etauk.
4By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
4Acn ma oasr etauk we, infukil uh yunla ke ma saok ac oaskulana.
5A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
5Wo in lalmwetmet liki na in ku; aok, yohk sripa in etauk liki in fokoko.
6Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
6Kom enenu na in akola akwoya meet liki kom srola ke sie mweun, ac kom fin eis kas in kasru wo puspis na kom ac fah ku in kutangla.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
7Kas lalmwetmet uh arulana loalla nu sin sie mwet lalfon in kalem kac. Wangin ma el ac ku in fahk ke pacl ac srumunyuk ma yohk sripa uh.
8He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
8Kom fin orek pwapa koluk pacl nukewa, ac fah eteyuk kom lah kom sie mwet orek lokoalok.
9The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
9Ma nukewa sie mwet lalfon ac nunkauk in oru uh ac ma na koluk. Mwet uh srunga mwet se ma kwacna aklusrongtenye mwet.
10If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
10Kom fin munasla ke pacl kom sun ma upa, kalmac pa ku lom uh srikla.
11Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
11Nimet alolo in molela sie mwet su akola in anwuki ke sripen nununku sesuwos.
12If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
12Sahp kom ac fahk mu kom nikin, a God El etekom ac nunak lom. El ac fah moli nu sum fal nu ke ma kom orala.
13Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
13Tulik nutik, kom in mongo honey, mweyen arulana wo. Oana ke honey emwem in oalum,
14So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
14ouinge lalmwetmet uh wo nu ke ngunum. Kom fin eis lalmwetmet, na moul lom in pacl fahsru ac fah wo.
15Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
15Nimet oana sie mwet koluk su pwapa sulal in pisrala ma lun sie mwet suwohs, ku in eisla lohm sel.
16For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
16Finne pus pacl sie mwet suwohs el ikori, el ac sifil tuyak, a mwe ongoiya uh kunausla mwet koluk.
17When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
17Nimet engan ke pacl mwet lokoalok lom sun ongoiya uh, ac nimet enganak ke pacl el tukulkul.
18Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
18LEUM GOD El ac etu lah kom engankin, ac El ac tia lungse; fin ouinge, sahp El ac tia sang kai nu sel.
19Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
19Nimet lela mwet koluk in akfosrngaye kom; ac nimet sok selos,
20For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
20mweyen wangin finsrak lun sie mwet koluk nu ke pacl fahsru. Wangin ma el akwot nu kac.
21My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
21Tulik nutik, kom in akfulatye LEUM GOD ac sunakin tokosra. Nimet asruoki nu sin mwet su lainulos.
22For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
22Mwet ouinge uh ac sa na in kunausyukla. Ya kom akilen luman ongoiya ma ku in tuku sin God me ac sin tokosra me?
23These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
23Mwet lalmwetmet uh oayapa fahk ma inge: Tia wo sie mwet nununku in wiwimwet.
24They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
24El fin sang mwata nu fin mwet se ma suwohs, mwet nukewa ac srungal ac selngawel.
25They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.
25A kutena mwet nununku su kai mwet oasr mwata, elos fah kapkapak ac mwet uh ac kaksakunulos.
26He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.
26El su kawuk na pwaye lom el ac topuk kom ke kas pwaye.
27Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
27Akola ima lom ac yukwiya ma kom ac moul kac, na kom fah musai lohm sum ac sou lom.
28Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.
28Nimet orek loh lain sie mwet fin wangin mwatal. Nimet fahk kutena ma sutuu kacl.
29Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.
29Nimet fahk mu, “Nga ac oru nu sel in oana ke el tuh oru nu sik! Nga ac folokunang pacna ma el oru nu sik!”
30I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:
30Nga fahsr sasla ke ima in grape lun sie mwet alsrangesr ac lalfon.
31And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.
31Kupoi ke kokul ac mah kap wel, ac pot ma kuhlasak uh mokukla.
32Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
32Nga liye ma inge ac nunku kac, na pa inge mwe luti nga eis kac:
33Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:
33Farpoeni ac mongla kutu srisrik, eis pacl in motul lom,
34And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
34tusruktu ke kom srakna motul, sukasrup ac fah tuku nu fom oana sie mwet pisrapasr su us mwe anwuk inpaol.
