Proverbs 9
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;
1Lalmwetmet el musaeak lohm sel, ac orala sru itkosr kac.
2She hath prepared her meat, she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
2El sapkin in anwuki soko kosro nu ke sie kufwa, ac kurrauk mwe akyu mongo nu ke wain uh, ac akoela tepu nu kac.
3She hath sent forth her maidens, she calleth, upon the highest places of the city:
3El supwala mutan fusr kulansap lal nu yen fulat ke siti uh elos in pang ac fahk,
4'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
4“Utyak, kowos su wangin etauk la!” Ac nu sin mwet lalfon el fahk,
5'Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
5“Fahsru, kang mwe mongo nak, ac nim ke wain ma nga kurrauk.
6Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
6Fahsr liki mwet nikin ingan ac moul. Fahsr ke inkanek lun etauk.”
7He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame, and he that reproveth a wicked man, it becometh unto him a blot.
7Kom fin kai sie mwet filang, el ac folokin ke kas in akmwekin. Kom fin kai sie mwet koluk, el ac suk in akngalye kom.
8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
8Nimet kai sie mwet filang; el ac srungakom. A kom fin aksuwosye sie mwet lalmwetmet, el ac akfulatye kom.
9Give to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
9Kutena ma kom ac fahk nu sin sie mwet lalmwetmet ac akyokye lalmwetmet lal, ac ma nukewa kom ac fahk nu sin sie mwet suwoswos ac laesla etauk lal.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the All-holy is understanding.
10Sangeng sin LEUM GOD pa mutaweyen lalmwetmet. Ac eteyen El su Mutal pa etauk.
11For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
11Lalmwetmet uh ac akloesye moul lom.
12If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.'
12Kom pa ac eis woiya kom fin lalmwetmet, ac kom fin srangesr eis, na kom ac keok.
13The woman Folly is riotous; she is thoughtless, and knoweth nothing.
13Lalfon el oana sie mutan wowon, su nikin ac sumwekin.
14And she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14El muta ke mutunoa in lohm sel, ku muta fin sie mwe muta fulat in siti uh,
15To call to them that pass by, who go right on their ways:
15ac pang nu selos su fahsr alukella nu ke orekma lalos sifacna. El fahk,
16'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; and as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
16“Utyak, kowos su wangin etauk la!” Ac nu sin mwet lalfon el fahk,
17'Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.'
17“Kof pisrapasrla uh arulana emwem. Bread pisrapasrla uh pa arulana yu.”
18But he knoweth not that the shades are there; that her guests are in the depths of the nether-world.
18Mwet inge tiana etu lah mwet nukewa ma som nu in lohm sel uh misa; ac elos su utyak tari nu yorol, inge elos oan yen loal in facl lun mwet misa.
