Proverbs 15
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1A soft answer turneth away wrath; but a grievous word stirreth up anger.
1Sie top fisrasr akmisyela kasrkusrak, a sie kas toasr ac purakak kasrkusrak.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright; but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
2Ke mwet lalmwetmet elos kaskas, mwet uh mwel etauk. A mwet lalfon elos filakunla kas lusrongten.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
3LEUM GOD El liye ma orek in acn nukewa; El suiya ma nukewa kut oru — finne wo ku koluk.
4A soothing tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a wound to the spirit.
4Kas kulang mwe akkeye kom, a kas toasr ac mwe akmunasye kom.
5A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
5Ma lalfon se pa in pilesru kas in luti lun papa tomom; a lalmwetmet pa in porongo kas in kai lal.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure; but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
6Mwet suwoswos elos karinganang kasrpalos, a mwet koluk elos sununtei kasrpalos, na ke pacl koluk tuku, elos kwacola.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; but the heart of the foolish is not stedfast.
7Mwet lalmwetmet akyokye etauk, a mwet lalfon elos tia.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
8LEUM GOD El insewowo ke pre lun mwet wo, a El srunga mwe kisa lun mwet koluk.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
9LEUM GOD El srunga inkanek lun mwet koluk, a El lungse elos su oru ma suwohs.
10There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; and he that hateth reproof shall die.
10Kom fin oru ma koluk, kom ac sun kaiyuk upa; kom ac misa kom fin tia lela in aksuwosyeyuk kom.
11The nether-world and Destruction are before the LORD; how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
11LEUM GOD El fin ku in etu ma nukewa ma oan in facl lun mwet misa, na kalem lah sie mwet el tia ku in okanla nunak lal liki God.
12A scorner loveth not to be reproved; he will not go unto the wise.
12Mwet inse fulat tia lungse in aksuwosyeyuk elos; elos tiana suk kas in kasru sin mwet lalmwetmet.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
13Ke pacl mwet uh engan, elos israsr srisrik, a ke pacl elos asor, insialos toasrlana.
14The heart of him that hath discernment seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
14Mwet lalkung lungse na lutlut, a mwet sulalkung mansisna in nikin.
15All the days of the poor are evil; but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
15Mwet sukasrup elos moul in fosrnga pacl nukewa, a mwet ma insewowo, elos moul in engan pacl nukewa.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and turmoil therewith.
16Wo in sukasrup ac in sangeng sin LEUM GOD , liki na in kasrup ac moul in lokoalok.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
17Ac wo in mongo mahsrik yen oasr lungse we, liki na in mongo ikwa yuyu yen oasr srunga we.
18A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
18Mwet mongsa elos purakak akukuin, a mwet mongfisrasr elos akmisye.
19The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns; but the path of the upright is even.
19Kom fin alsrangesr, kom ac sun ma upa yen nukewa, a kom fin suwohs, wangin mwe lokoalok ac sun kom.
20A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
20Sie tulik lalmwetmet el akenganye papa tumal. Sie tulik lalfon el pilesru nina kial.
21Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment walketh straightforwards.
21Mwet lalfon elos engankin orekma lalfon lalos, a mwet lalmwetmet elos ac oru ma suwohs.
22For want of counsel purposes are frustrated; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
22Kutena pwapa ma srihk kas in kasru nu kac, ac tia ku in fahla wo; enenu in oasr kas in kasru sin mwet pus, na ac fah wo saflaiya.
23A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; and a word in due season, how good is it!
23Mwe engan na yohk in konauk kas fal nu ke sripa se lun pacl sac!
24The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath.
24Mwet lalmwetmet elos fahsr ke inkanek ma utyak nu ke moul; tia ke inkanek ma oatula nu ke misa.
25The LORD will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow.
25LEUM GOD El ac fah kunausla lohm sin mwet filang, a El fah loangela acn sin katinmas.
26The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to the LORD; but words of pleasantness are pure.
26LEUM GOD El srunga nunak koluk, a El insewowo ke kas kulang.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
27Kom fin oru ma laesla ke inkanek kutasrik, kom ac pwanma ongoiya nu fin sou lom. Nimet eis mol in eyeinse, na moul lom fah loes.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
28Mwet wo elos nunku meet liki elos topuk. Mwet koluk elos sa in topuk, a kwana orala tukulkul.
29The LORD is far from the wicked; but He heareth the prayer of the righteous.
29Ke pacl mwet wo uh pre, LEUM GOD El porongo, a El ngetla lukelos su oru ma koluk.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; and a good report maketh the bones fat.
30Ngetnget kulang ac akenganye kom, ac pweng wo ac fah akkeyekom.
31The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
31Kom fin porongo pacl kaiyuk kom uh, kom lalmwetmet.
32He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; but he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
32Kom fin srunga lutlut, kom sifacna akkolukye kom. Kom fin porongo kas in kai nu sum, ac fah yokelik etauk lom.
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour goeth humility.
33Sangeng sin LEUM GOD pa inkanek nu ke etauk. Kom enenu in pusisel, na fah akfulatyeyuk kom.
