King James Version with Apocrypha
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
1Tulik nutik, kowos in porongo mwe luti lun papa tomowos. Arulana lohang nu kac, na ac fah oasr etauk lowos.
2For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
2Nga luti kowos ke inkanek wo. Nimet kowos pilesru.
3For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
3Ke nga srakna tulik srisrik, wen sefanna nutin papa ac nina,
4He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
4papa el ac fahk, “Esamya ma nga fahk inge, ac nimet mulkunla. Oru in oana ke nga fahk uh, na kom fah moul.
5Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
5Eis lalmwetmet ac liyaten! Nimet mulkunla ku pilesru ma nga fahk uh.
6Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
6Nimet sisla lalmwetmet, na el ac loangekom. Lungse el, ac el fah liyekomyang wo.
7Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
7Ma se ma yohk sripa emeet nu sum pa in suk lalmwetmet. Kutena ma kom ac sifil suk saya, kom in suk etauk.
8Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
8Lungse lalmwetmet, ac el ac fah oru kom in fulat. Apsilya ku, ac el ac fah oru in kaksakinyuk kom.
9She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
9El ac fah oana sie tefuro wolana nu fin sifom.”
10Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
10Lohngyu, tulik nutik. Nunku akwoye ma nga fahk nu sum uh, na ac fah loes moul lom.
11I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
11Nga luti nu sum lalmwetmet ac ouiyen moul pwaye kom in fahsr kac.
12When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
12Wangin ma ac kosrala inkanek lom kom fin fahsr in lalmwetmet, ac kom ac tia tukulkul ke pacl kom kasrusr.
13Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
13Esam ma kom luti uh pacl nukewa. Lutlut lom uh pa moul lom — liyaung akwoya.
14¶ Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men .
14Nimet fahsr nu yen mwet koluk uh fahsr nu we. Nimet ukwe ouiyen moul lalos.
15Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
15Fahsr liki ma koluk! Nimet apkuranyang nu kac! Kuhfla liki ac fahsrot ke inkanek lom.
16For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
16Mwet koluk uh tia ku in motulla nwe ke na elos orala sie ma koluk. Elos ac ngetnget na elos fin tia orala mwe lokoalok nu sin mwet.
17For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
17Ma koluk ac sulallal uh oana mwe mongo ac mwe nim nu selos.
18But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
18Inkanek lun mwet suwoswos uh oana takak lun faht uh, ma kais kutu kalmwelik nwe ke na lenelik.
19The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
19Inkanek lun mwet koluk uh lohsr matoltol. Elos ikori tuh elos tia ku in liye lah mea se oru elos ikori uh.
20¶ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
20Tulik nutik, lohng akwoya ma nga fahk uh.
21Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
21Esam kas luk ac karinganang in tia wanginla liki kom.
22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
22Kas inge ac sang moul ac ku lun mano nu sin kutena mwet su kalem kac.
23¶ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
23Arulana karinganang nunak lom an — mweyen moul lom ac sikyak oana ma kom nunku.
24Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
24Nimet fahk kutena ma su tia pwaye, ac tia orekmakin kas kikiap ku kutena ouiya ma ac kiapu mwet uh.
25Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
25Ngetot suwohs nu meeto ke inse pulaik. Nimet ngetnget in tonong.
26Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
26Akola akwoye ma kom ac oru an, na ma nukewa kom oru ac ku in orekla wo.
27Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
27Kaingkin ma koluk ac fahsr suwohs nu meeto. Nimet kuhfla liki inkanek pwaye.
