Proverbs 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
1Kom fin likkekelana ke pacl mwet uh aksuwosye kom, sie len kom ac musalla ac tia ku in sifil tuyak.
2When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
2Sie mwet suwoswos fin leum, na mwet nukewa ac engan. Sie mwet sesuwos fin leum, na mwet nukewa asor.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
3Kom fin aksaokye lalmwetmet, na papa tomom el ac engan sum. Ma lalfon se in sisla mani ke mutan kosro su kukakin mano.
4The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
4Sie tokosra su suk ma suwohs, mutunfacl sel ac fah arulana ku; a el fin nunku na ke mani, el ac kunausla mutunfacl sel.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
5Kom fin aklukukye kawuk lom an, kom sifacna oakiya sie mwe kwasrip nu sum.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
6Mwet koluk uh sifacna sremla in ma koluk lalos, a mwet suwoswos elos on ac engan.
7The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
7Mwet wo elos kalem ke enenu lun mwet sukasrup, a mwet koluk elos tiana nunku ke ma inge.
8Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
8Mwet folkas uh ku in akfohsyauk siti nufon se. Elos su lalmwetmet ku in akmisyela.
9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
9Ke sie mwet lalmwetmet el usak sie mwet lalfon nu in nununku, mwet lalfon sac ac israsr ac wowoyak ke kas in sufan nu sel.
10The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
10Mwet akmas uh kwase mwet ma oru ma suwohs, a mwet suwoswos elos ac suk in loango moul lun mwet suwohs.
11A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
11Mwet lalfon uh mongsa, a mwet lalmwetmet elos muteng ac ku in kutong.
12If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
12Sie mwet leum fin lohang nu ke kas kikiap, mwet pwapa lal nukewa ac fah kikiap.
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
13Mwet sukasrup ac mwet su akkeokyalos elos oana sie in lumah se inge: LEUM GOD pa oru elos in ku in liye.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
14Sie tokosra fin oaru in liyaung suwohs lun mwet sukasrup, el ac fah leum ke pacl loeleos.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
15Ma wowo se in kai ac aksuwosye sie tulik. Fin filfilla elan oru lungse lal sifacna, ac fah mwe mwekin nu sin nina kial.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
16Ke pacl mwet koluk uh kol, ma koluk ac yokelik. Tusruktu mwet suwoswos ac fah moul ac liye ke mwet inge tila kol.
17Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
17Kai wen nutum, ac kom ac fah insewowo sel pacl nukewa. El ac fah tiana akmwekinye kom.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
18Sie mutunfacl ma tia lohang nu ke kolyuk lun God ac fohsak. Insewowo elos su liyaung ma sap lun God!
19A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
19Kom tia ku in kai sie mwet kulansap ke kas mukena. El ac ku in kalem kac, tuh el ac tiana lohang nu kac.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
20Yohk finsrak lasr nu ke sie mwet lalfon, liki sie mwet ingunyar in sramsram.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
21Kom fin sang nu sin mwet kulansap lom ma nukewa ma el lungse ke el srikyak, sie len el ac sruokya ma lom nukewa.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
22Mwet mongsa uh purakak akukuin ac lokoalok pacl nukewa.
23A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
23Filang lun sie mwet ac fah akmwekinyal; ac kom fin inse pusisel, ac akfulatyeyuk kom.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
24Sie mwet kasru lun mwet pisrapasr el pwanma mwe lokoalok nu sel sifacna. El fin fahkak ma pwaye ye mutun nununku, el ac fah eis kai. Ac el fin wikin, na ac fah selngawiyuk el.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
25Sie mwe sensen in nunku ke ma mwet uh nunku keim; tuh kom fin lulalfongi in LEUM GOD , kom ac tiana sensen.
26Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
26Mwet nukewa lungse suk ohi sin mwet leum uh, a LEUM GOD mukena ku in sot nununku suwohs.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
27Mwet suwoswos uh kwase mwet koluk, ac mwet koluk kwase pac mwet suwoswos.
