Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
1Pa inge kas in palu lal Agur, wen natul Jakeh. El fahk, “God El tia wiyu, God El tia wiyu, Nga munas ac wangin ku luk.
2I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
2Nga lalfon oana soko kosro, Ac wangin etauk lun mwet in nga.
3I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
3Nga soenna lutlut ke lalmwetmet, Ac wanginna etu luk ke God.
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
4Su nu sowak nu inkusrao ac sifilpa oatui? Su nu sruokani eng uh inpaol? Ku nokomla kof uh in sie ipin nuknuk? Ku oakiya masrol lun faclu? Kom fin etu, fahkak lah su el an, ac su wen natul.
5Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
5“God El akpwayei wuleang nukewa lal. El oana sie mwe loeyuk nu selos nukewa su suk in moulla yorol.
6Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
6Kom fin laesla kas lal ke kutena kas ma El tia fahk, El ac fah kai kom, ac akkalemye lah kom sie mwet kikiap.”
7Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
7O God, nga siyuk sum, ase nu sik ma luo inge meet liki nga misa:
8Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
8kasreyu ngan tia kikiap, ac oru tuh ngan tia arulana kasrup ku tia pac arulana sukasrup. Ke ma inge ase nu sik lupan mwe mongo ma ac fal nu ke enenu luk.
9Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
9Fin yokla ma oan yuruk, sahp nga ac fahk mu nga tia enenekom. A nga fin arulana sukasrup, sahp nga ac ku in pisrapasr ac akkolukye Inen God luk.
10Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
10Nimet akkolukye sie mwet kulansap nu sin mwet kacto lal. Sahp el ac selngawi kom ac kom ac eis mwata kac.
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
11Oasr mwet su selngawi papa tumalos, ac tia akkalemye srui lalos ke nina kialos.
12A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
12Oasr mwet nunku mu nasnas na moul lalos, a pwayeiya uh yohk fohkfok lalos.
13A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
13Oasr mwet nunku mu elos arulana wo — oru elos arulana inse fulat!
14A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
14Oasr mwet su eis kasrpalos ke elos aklalfonye ac pisre ma lun mwet sukasrup ac mwet kwaco.
15The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
15Oasr fak mutan se nutin wet nim srah soko, ac ineltal kewa pa, “Use!” Oasr ma akosr ma wangin saflaiyen enenu la:
16Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.
16facl sin mwet misa, sie mutan talap, sie acn pao ma enenu af, ac sie e firir ma tia ku in kuniyukla.
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
17Sie mwet su aksruksrukkin papa tumal, ku pilesru nina kial ke el matuoh, fal in mongola sin won vulture, ku tupla atronmutal sin won raven.
18Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
18Oasr ma akosr ma nga tiana ku in kalem kac:
19The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.
19ouiyen sohksok lun sie eagle yen engyeng uh, ouiyen orakrak lun soko wet fin sie eot, ouiyen soko oak ma konauk inkanek la fin meoa, ac ouiyen sie mukul ac mutan se el lungse.
20Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
20Pa inge luman sie mutan payuk su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal: el orek kosro, toko el yihla ac fahk, “Wanginna ma koluk nga oru!”
21By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
21Oasr ma akosr faclu tia ku in mutangla:
22By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
22Sie mwet kohs su sun wal lun tokosra, sie mwet lalfon su arulana kihp,
23By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
23sie mutan kwaseyuk su payukyak, ac sie mutan kulansap su eisla acn sin mutan kacto lal.
24There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
24Oasr ma akosr fin faclu su srik ac arulana lalmwetmet:
25The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
25Mak — elos ne munas a elos elosak mongo nalos ke pacl fol;
26The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
26Kosro badger — elos tia pac ku, tuh elos orala nien muta lalos inmasrlon eot uh.
27The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
27Locust — wangin tokosra lalos, tuh elos ueni sohk.
28The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
28Kinoul — kom ku in sruokya soko inpoum, ac kom ku pac in konauk ke inkul fulat sin tokosra.
29There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
29Oasr ma akosr arulana kato luman fahsr la uh:
30A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
30lion — kosro soko ma ku emeet ac wangin sangeng lal sin kutena kosro;
31A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
31nani, won mukul, ac tokosra uh ke elos tu ye mutun mwet lalos.
32There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
32Kom fin lalfon ac sifacna akfulatye kom in oru pwapa koluk, tui ac nunkala akwoya!
33And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
33Kom fin arukak milk, na ac ekla butter. Kom fin fiskiya infwen sie mwet, ac srahsra. Kom fin akkasrkusrakyauk mwet, kom ac ongoiya.
