Proverbs 26
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
1Sufal in kaksakinyuk sie mwet lalfon, oana fin oasr snow ke pacl fol, ku fin oasr af ke pacl in kosrani.
2As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, so the curse that is causeless shall come home.
2Kas in selnga tia ku in akkolukyekomla fin wangin ma sufal kom orala. Ac oana won ma sohklana ac tia tuhwi.
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
3Eneneyuk in sringsring soko horse, ac kapriya oalin soko donkey, ac puok sie mwet lalfon, tuh elos in oru enenu lom an.
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
4Kom fin topuk sie kusen siyuk lalfon, kom lalfon oana mwet se ma siyuk.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
5Sang top lalfon nu ke kusen siyuk lalfon, na mwet se ma siyuk el ac akilen lah el tia etu oana ma el nunku.
6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh damage.
6Kom fin supu sie mwet lalfon in tafwela kas lom, ac oana ke kom pakela niom; kom pwentuki ongoiya nu sum.
7The legs hang limp from the lame; so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
7Sie mwet lalfon tia ku in fahk sie kas lalmwetmet, oana ke sie mwet ul nia tia ku in fahsr.
8As a small stone in a heap of stones, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8Ma lalfon se in kaksakin sie mwet lalfon, oapana ke kom fin kapriya sie eot luin fuht nutum.
9As a thorn that cometh into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9Sie mwet lalfon su srike in fahk sie soakas, ac oana ke sie mwet sruhi el srike fwacla otoh se ma fakisya inpaol.
10A master performeth all things; but he that stoppeth a fool is as one that stoppeth a flood.
10Sie mwet kol orekma fin sang orekma nu sin kutena mwet lalfon su fahsryak inkanek uh, el aktukulkulye mwet orekma nukewa lal.
11As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is a fool that repeateth his folly.
11Sie mwet lalfon su kalwenina in oru ma lalfon, el oana soko kosro ngalngul ma sifil folokla ac kang woht lal.
12Seest thou a man wise in his own eyes? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
12Sie mwet arulana lalfon, wo liki sie mwet su nunku mu el lalmwetmet tusruk el tia.
13The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion in the way; yea, a lion is in the streets.'
13Efu ku mwet alsrangesr se tia tufoki liki lohm sel? Mea el sangeng kac uh? Ya lion uh?
14The door is turning upon its hinges, and the sluggard is still upon his bed.
14Sie mwet alsrangesr el ikwot ikme fin mwe oan kial. El oana sie srungul ma ikakot ikakma ke hinges uh.
15The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth him to bring it back to his mouth.
15Lupan alsrangesr lun kutu mwet uh oru elos srunga sifacna srukak mwe mongo nu inwalulos.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men that give wise answer.
16Sie mwet alsrangesr el ac nunku mu el etu liki mwet itkosr su ku in aketeya nunak lalos arulana kalem.
17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife not his own, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
17El su sroang nu ke sie akukuin ma wangin sripal nu kac, oana sie su tufoki nu inkanek uh ac sruokya sren soko kosro ngalngul sulallal.
18As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death;
18Sie mwet wel su orekmakin osra in pisr ma oasr e firir ke muta ah,
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith: 'Am not I in sport?'
19el oana sie mwet su kiapwela mwet tulan lal, na tok el fahk mu el aksruksruk.
20Where no wood is, the fire goeth out; and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
20Fin wangin etong, e uh ac kunla. Fin wangin lesrik, ac wangin akukuin.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
21Mulut uh akngengye e, ac etong uh oru e uh in firir, oana ke mwet folkas uh pirik na akukuin in tia tui.
22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
22Arulana wo eman lesrik uh. Kut lungsena ukumya.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
23Kas wo pusra ma okanla nunak na pwaye lun insiom, oana sie ahlu munas orekla ke kle ma mosrweyukla ke silver.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him.
24Sie mwet wosounkas el orekmakin kas kulang in okanla srunga lun insial.
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart.
25Ku in arulana wo pusracl, tusruktu nimet lulalfongi, mweyen insial sessesla ke srunga.
26Though his hatred be concealed with deceit, his wickedness shall be revealed before the congregation.
26El ku in okanla srunga lal, tusruktu mwet nukewa ac liye ke orekma koluk lal.
27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
27Mwet su oakiya mwe kwasrip nu sin mwet ngia, ac fah sifacna sremla kac. Mwet su orala mokuk uh, ac fah toatoa uh kac.
28A lying tongue hateth those that are crushed by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
28Kom fin srunga sie mwet, kom ac ku in suk in akkolukyalla ke kas kikiap. Wosounkas mwe na pwentuki ongoiya.
