Ecclesiastes 10
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
1Loang misa uh ku in oru sufa nufon soko ke mwe akmusra keng in kolukla fohlo, ouinge ouiya na lalfon srisrik se ku in akkolukyela lalmwetmet na lulap.
2A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
2Sie mwet lalmwetmet el pahlana in oru ma suwohs, ac sie mwet lalfon el pahla in oru ma sutuu.
3Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him , and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
3Lalfon lal uh ac kalem sin mwet nukewa, finne mwetsac ma fufahsryesr inkanek uh elos ac ku pac in akilen.
4If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
4Mwet kol lom fin kasrkusrakak sum, nimet kom sisla orekma lom an, mweyen muteng uh ku in akmisye inse toasr na yohk.
5There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
5Pa inge sie ouiya sesuwos nga konauk fin faclu — ouiya se inge ma orek sin mwet kol.
6Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
6Itukyang kunokon fulat nu sin mwet lalfon, a mwet kasrup elos oru orekma pusisel.
7I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
7Nga liye tari ke mwet kohs uh kasrusr fin horse, ac mwet leum elos fahsrna oana mwet kohs uh.
8He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
8Kom fin pukanak sie luf, kom ac ku in putatyang nu loac. Kom fin fokolla sie pot, soko serpent in pot uh ac ku in ngaliskomi.
9Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
9Kom fin orekma ke sie acn in pukpuk eot, kom ku na in ngalyak kac. Kom fin lip etong, kom ku in ongoiya kac.
10If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
10Tuhla lom ah fin safit ac kom tia tamla, kom ac kemkatu ke orekmakinya. Mwet lalmwetmet uh elos motkwala arulana wo meet, na saflaiya uh wo.
11Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
11Kom finne etu in akmunaye soko serpent, ac wangin sripa kom fin fuhlela in ngaliskomi meet.
12The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
12Kas lun sie mwet lalmwetmet ac oru mwet uh in akfulatyal, a kas lun sie mwet lalfon sifacna kunausulla.
13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
13El mutawauk ke kaskas lusrongten, na saflaiya el arulana kaskas wel.
14A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
14Sie mwet lalfon el sramsram loeloes. Wangin sie mwet etu lah mea ac sikyak toko, ac wangin sie mwet ku in fahkma lah mea ac sikyak tukun kut misa.
15The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
15Sie mwet su sifacna aktotoyella ke orekma upalana lal, el oana mwet lalfon se su nukanla innek nu lohm sel ah.
16¶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
16Tokosra lun sie mutunfacl fin sie mwet fusr, ac mwet kol we fin orek kufwa ke fong fon, facl sac ac fah sun ongoiya.
17Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
17Tusruktu sie tokosra fin ma ke sou leum, ac mwet kol elos mongo in akkeye manolos ac sifacna liyalosyang in tia sruhi, na mutunfacl sac fah insewowo.
18¶ By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
18Mwet se fin alsrangesr in onala fahsu ke lohm sel, na ac wohn, ac lohm sac ac musalla.
19¶ A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things .
19Mwe mongo uh akenganye mwet uh, ac wain uh akpwaryalos, tusruktu ma inge kewa tia ku in orek fin wangin mani.
20¶ Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
20Nimet akkolukye tokosra finne in nunak lom, ac nimet akkolukye mwet kasrup finne infukil in motul sum sifacna. Sie won sohksok ku in tafwela kas inge nu selos.
