Proverbs 19
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time.
1Ac wo kom in sukasrup ac suwohs, liki na in lalfon ac kikiap.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
2Insienaung fin wangin etauk, tia ma wo se; ac orekma in sulaklak ku in sot ongoiya nu sum.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
3Kutu mwet uh sifacna kunauselosla ke orekma lalfon lalos, na toko elos sis nu fin LEUM GOD .
4Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him.
4Mwet kasrup uh fisrasr in konauk mwet kawuk puspis, a upa mwet sukasrup uh in sruokya mwet kawuk pu lalos.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.
5Kom fin fahk kas kikiap ye mutun nununku, kom ac fah kaiyuk, na ac wangin inkanek in kaingla lom.
6Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
6Mwet nukewa srike in eis ohi sin mwet fulat; ac mwet nukewa kena in kawuk nu sin mwet ma ac kitaung mwe sang nu selos.
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him.
7Sie mwet sukasrup ac pilesreyuk sin sou lal, ac mwet kawuk lal ac pilesral yohk liki. Pacl el sokolos elos wangin.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
8Kom oru sie ma wo nu sum sifacna ke kom lotela ma nukewa ma kom ku. Esamya ma kom lotela uh, na kom ac fah kapkapak.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish.
9Wangin sie su kaskas kikiap ye mutun nununku ku in kaingkunla kai nu sel. Pwayena lah el ac muta in ongoiya.
10Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Tiana fal tuh sie mwet lalfon in yolyak mwe kasrup yorol, oayapa tia fal mwet kohs in leum fin mwet wal fulat.
11It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
11Kom fin sie mwet etu, kom ac ku in kutong kasrkusrak lom. Mwet fin oru ma koluk nu sum, ac arulana wo kom in tia lohang nu kac.
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
12Kasrkusrak lun sie tokosra oana ngutngut lun soko lion, ac kulang lal oana woiyen af uh ke kahkla uh.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
13Sie wen lalfon ku in aksukapasyela papa tumal, ac wowon lun mutan kial uh oana kof tultul su tia tui.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14Sie mukul ku in usrui lohm ac mani sin papa tumal, tuh LEUM GOD mukena ku in sang sie mutan lalmwetmet kial.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Kom fin alsrangesr na ac lungse mutul, kom ac masrinsral.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die.
16Kom in liyaung ma sap lun God, na ac fah loes moul lom; kom fin pilesru, kom ac misa.
17He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and his good deed will He repay unto him.
17Kom fin sang mwe sang nu sin mwet sukasrup, ac oapana ke kom sang nu sin LEUM GOD , ac El ac fah folokin nu sum.
18Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction.
18Kai tulik nutum ke kom srakna ku in kifasul. Kom fin tia, kom sifacna oakiya inkanek in ongoiya nu selos.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.
19Sie mwet fin mongkeke, lela elan sifacna akfalyela ma koluk el orala. Kom fin molella, kom ac enenu in sifilpa molella.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
20Kom fin porongo kas in kasru nu sum ac engan in eis kas in luti, na sie len kom ac fah lalmwetmet.
21There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
21Mwet uh ku in pu kain in ma puspis; tusruktu ma lungse lun LEUM GOD pa ac orek uh.
22The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar.
22Mwe mwekin se pa in rapku; mwet sukasrup uh wo liki mwet kikiap.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.
23Akfulatye LEUM GOD na ac fah loes moul lom, ac kom ac fah inse misla ac tia fosrnga.
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his mouth.
24Lupan alsrangesr lun kutu mwet uh oru elos srunga sifacna srukak mwe mongo nu inwalulos.
25When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
25Mwet aksruksruk uh fal in kaiyuk tuh in mwe luti nu sin mwet sulalkung. Kom fin lalmwetmet, kom ac eis etauk ke pacl kaiyuk kom.
26A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.
26Sie mwet su oru koluk nu sin papa tumal ku lusla nina kial liki lohm sel, fah mwe mwekin lulap.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
27Wen nutik, pacl se kom tui in eis mwe lutlut, kom ac sa na in mulkunla ma kom lotela tari.
28An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28Wangin nununku suwohs ku in orek sie mwet loh fin sulela ku sel in akkolukye sie mwet. Mwet koluk uh lungse na ma koluk.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
29Pwayena lah mwet aksruksruk lalfon uh ac pulakin sringsring.
