Proverbs 24
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
1Nimet sok sin mwet koluk, ac nimet oru kom in kawuk selos.
2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
2Pacl nukewa elos pwapa sulal, ac sramsram lalos mwe na purakak lokoalok.
3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
3Lohm uh musaiyuk fin pwelung lun lalmwetmet ac etauk.
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
4Acn ma oasr etauk we, infukil uh yunla ke ma saok ac oaskulana.
5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
5Wo in lalmwetmet liki na in ku; aok, yohk sripa in etauk liki in fokoko.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
6Kom enenu na in akola akwoya meet liki kom srola ke sie mweun, ac kom fin eis kas in kasru wo puspis na kom ac fah ku in kutangla.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
7Kas lalmwetmet uh arulana loalla nu sin sie mwet lalfon in kalem kac. Wangin ma el ac ku in fahk ke pacl ac srumunyuk ma yohk sripa uh.
8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
8Kom fin orek pwapa koluk pacl nukewa, ac fah eteyuk kom lah kom sie mwet orek lokoalok.
9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
9Ma nukewa sie mwet lalfon ac nunkauk in oru uh ac ma na koluk. Mwet uh srunga mwet se ma kwacna aklusrongtenye mwet.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
10Kom fin munasla ke pacl kom sun ma upa, kalmac pa ku lom uh srikla.
11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
11Nimet alolo in molela sie mwet su akola in anwuki ke sripen nununku sesuwos.
12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it ? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
12Sahp kom ac fahk mu kom nikin, a God El etekom ac nunak lom. El ac fah moli nu sum fal nu ke ma kom orala.
13My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
13Tulik nutik, kom in mongo honey, mweyen arulana wo. Oana ke honey emwem in oalum,
14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it , then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
14ouinge lalmwetmet uh wo nu ke ngunum. Kom fin eis lalmwetmet, na moul lom in pacl fahsru ac fah wo.
15Lay not wait, O wicked man , against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
15Nimet oana sie mwet koluk su pwapa sulal in pisrala ma lun sie mwet suwohs, ku in eisla lohm sel.
16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
16Finne pus pacl sie mwet suwohs el ikori, el ac sifil tuyak, a mwe ongoiya uh kunausla mwet koluk.
17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
17Nimet engan ke pacl mwet lokoalok lom sun ongoiya uh, ac nimet enganak ke pacl el tukulkul.
18Lest the LORD see it , and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
18LEUM GOD El ac etu lah kom engankin, ac El ac tia lungse; fin ouinge, sahp El ac tia sang kai nu sel.
19Fret not thyself because of evil men , neither be thou envious at the wicked;
19Nimet lela mwet koluk in akfosrngaye kom; ac nimet sok selos,
20For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
20mweyen wangin finsrak lun sie mwet koluk nu ke pacl fahsru. Wangin ma el akwot nu kac.
21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
21Tulik nutik, kom in akfulatye LEUM GOD ac sunakin tokosra. Nimet asruoki nu sin mwet su lainulos.
22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
22Mwet ouinge uh ac sa na in kunausyukla. Ya kom akilen luman ongoiya ma ku in tuku sin God me ac sin tokosra me?
23These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
23Mwet lalmwetmet uh oayapa fahk ma inge: Tia wo sie mwet nununku in wiwimwet.
24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
24El fin sang mwata nu fin mwet se ma suwohs, mwet nukewa ac srungal ac selngawel.
25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
25A kutena mwet nununku su kai mwet oasr mwata, elos fah kapkapak ac mwet uh ac kaksakunulos.
26Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
26El su kawuk na pwaye lom el ac topuk kom ke kas pwaye.
27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
27Akola ima lom ac yukwiya ma kom ac moul kac, na kom fah musai lohm sum ac sou lom.
28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
28Nimet orek loh lain sie mwet fin wangin mwatal. Nimet fahk kutena ma sutuu kacl.
29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
29Nimet fahk mu, “Nga ac oru nu sel in oana ke el tuh oru nu sik! Nga ac folokunang pacna ma el oru nu sik!”
30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
30Nga fahsr sasla ke ima in grape lun sie mwet alsrangesr ac lalfon.
31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
31Kupoi ke kokul ac mah kap wel, ac pot ma kuhlasak uh mokukla.
32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
32Nga liye ma inge ac nunku kac, na pa inge mwe luti nga eis kac:
33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
33Farpoeni ac mongla kutu srisrik, eis pacl in motul lom,
34So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
34tusruktu ke kom srakna motul, sukasrup ac fah tuku nu fom oana sie mwet pisrapasr su us mwe anwuk inpaol.
