Proverbs 3
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1My son, forget not my teaching; but let thy heart keep my commandments;
1Tulik nutik, nimet mulkunla ma nga luti nu sum. Esam ma nukewa ma nga fahk nu sum in oru.
2For length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to thee.
2Mwe luti luk ac fah akloesye moul lom ac akinsewowoye.
3Let not kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thy heart;
3Nimet lela kulang ac inse pwaye in wanginla liki kom. Kapriya inkwawom, ac simusla insiom.
4So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.
4Kom fin oru ouinge, kom ac fah ohi yurin God ac mwet uh.
5Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.
5Lulalfongi LEUM GOD ke insiom kewa. Nimet lulalfongi etu lom sifacna.
6In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.
6Esam LEUM GOD in ma nukewa kom oru, ac El ac fah akkalemye inkanek suwohs nu sum.
7Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD, and depart from evil;
7Nimet sifacna nunku mu kom arulana fas in lalmwetmet lom; akos LEUM GOD ac fahsr liki ma koluk.
8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
8Kom fin oru ouinge, ac fah akkeye monum, ac sot ku nu sum.
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;
9Akfulatye LEUM GOD ke mwe sang lom nu sel ke mwe kasrup lom, ac ke fahko se meet ke ima lom.
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
10Kom fin oru ouinge, nien filma lom ac fah nwanala ke wheat, ac nien wain lom ac fah kahkkakla ke wain.
11My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither spurn thou His correction;
11Tulik nutik, nimet pilesru kas in kai lun LEUM GOD nu sum, a lohang nu kac ac eis mu mwe sensenkakin kom.
12For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
12LEUM GOD El kaelos su El lungse, oana ke sie papa kai tulik su el insewowo kac.
13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that obtaineth understanding.
13Insewowo mwet se su konauk lalmwetmet, ac su sun etauk.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
14Ma laesla kac yohk liki ma laesla ke silver, ac yohk sripa nu sum liki gold.
15She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
15Lalmwetmet el saok liki wek saok. Wangin kutena ma kom lungse ku in lumweyuk nu kac.
16Length of days is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honour.
16Lalmwetmet uh ac akloesye moul lom, akkasrupye kom, ac oru in sunakinyuk kom.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
17Inkanek lun lalmwetmet uh ac mwe engan nu sum, ac kol kom nu ke moul in misla.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and happy is every one that holdest her fast.
18Lalmwetmet uh oana sak in moul nu selos su eisal, ac mwe insewowo nu selos su akfulatyal.
19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens.
19LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ke etu lal El oakiya ma oan inkusrao.
20By His knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
20Lalmwetmet lal uh oru kof ye faclu in unonak, Ac pukunyeng uh in kahkunma af nu fin faclu.
21My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion;
21Tulik nutik, sruokya ku liyaten, ac lohang in wo nu ke ma kom oru.
22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
22Ma inge ac sot moul wo ac insewowo nu sum.
23Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, and thou shalt not dash thy foot.
23Kom ac fah fahsr ke inkanek in misla, ac tiana tukulkul.
24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
24Kom ac fah tia sangeng ke kom motul, ac kom ac fah motul folosowosla ke fong uh.
25Be not afraid of sudden terror, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh;
25Kom ac tia sensen ke mwe fosrnga su ac sa sikyak, oana paka ma sun mwet koluk uh.
26For the LORD will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being caught.
26LEUM GOD El ac karingin kom. El ac fah tia lela niom in sremla.
27Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.
27In pacl nukewa ma kom ku, kom in kasrelos su fal in eis kasru, ac tia sruokya ma wo lukelos.
28Say not unto thy neighbour: 'Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give'; when thou hast it by thee.
28Nimet fahk nu sin mwet tulan lom in soano nu ke len tok ah, kom fin ku in kasrel ingena.
29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
29Nimet akoo kutena ma ac tuh akkolukye mwet tulan lom; el muta siskom ac lulalfongi kom.
30Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
30Nimet akukuin nu sin sie mwet ke wangin sripa, fin wangin ma el oru in akkolukye kom.
31Envy thou not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.
31Nimet mwel ma lun mwet sulallal, ku nunkauk in oru oana elos oru,
32For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; but His counsel is with the upright.
32mweyen LEUM GOD El srunga mwet orekma koluk, a El insraelak nu sin mwet suwoswos.
33The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked; but He blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
33Mwe selnga lun LEUM GOD oan fin lohm sin mwet koluk, a mwe insewowo lal oan fin lohm sin mwet suwoswos.
34If it concerneth the scorners, He scorneth them, but unto the humble He giveth grace.
34El tiana lohang nu sin mwet inse fulat, a El kulang nu sin mwet pusisel.
35The wise shall inherit honour; but as for the fools, they carry away shame.
35Mwet lalmwetmet uh ac akfulatyeyuk, a mwet lalfon uh ac yokelik mwekin lalos.
