Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Nga sulela ngan suk mwe akpwaryeyu tuh ngan ku in etu kalmen engan. Tusruktu nga konauk lah ma se inge wangin pac sripa.
1I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
2Nga konauk lah israsr uh ma lusrongten, ac mwe akpwar uh wangin pac sripa.
2I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
3Ke nga suk in akyokye lalmwetmet luk, nga sulela in akpwarye ikok ke wain, ngan sifacna pulakin lah mea lalfon. Nga tuh nunku mu ouiya se inge pa wo mwet uh in oru ke moul fototo lalos fin faclu.
3I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
4Orekma na yohk nga orala tari. Nga musaela lohm puspis nu sik, ac yukwiya ima in grape sunuk.
4I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
5Nga yukwiya ima mwe intoe, oayapa ima in sak nukewa ma ku in mongo fahko kac.
5I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
6Nga pukanak lulu in kof in akoyohuye ima uh.
6I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
7Nga moli mwet kohs puspis, mukul ac mutan, ac tulik natulos ma isusla inkul sik uh ma pac luk. Pisen cow ac sheep nutik pus liki kutena mwet saya su muta Jerusalem oemeet me.
7I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
8Tokosra lun mutunfacl nga leumi uh elos use silver ac gold ac ma saok puspis nu in nien fil ma saok luk. Mukul ac mutan elos on in akpwaryeyu, ac oasr mutan kulansap puspis kiuk fal nu ke lungse luk.
8I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
9Pwaye, nga fulat ac pwengpeng liki kutena mwet su muta Jerusalem emeet me, ac lalmwetmet luk kolyu pacl nukewa.
9So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
10Kutena ma su nga lungse, nga eis. Nga tia sifacna ikolyuwi nu ke kutena mwe pwar. Nga konkin ke ma nukewa nga orala, ac insewowo luk kac uh pa molo nu sik.
10And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
11Na nga nunku ke ma nukewa nga orala, ac ke lupan kemkatu luk in orala, ac nga akilen lah wanginna sripa — ma nukewa ma lusrongten, oana ukweyen eng uh.
11Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
12Pwayeiya uh, sie tokosra el ac oru na ma tokosra meet lukel ah oru. Ouinge nga mutawauk nunku lah mea kalmac tuh sie mwet in lalmwetmet, ku in sununta, ku in lalfon.
12¶ And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
13Na inge nga etu lah, “Lalmwetmet wo liki na lalfon, oana ke kalem uh wo liki lohsr.
13Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
14Mwet lalmwetmet elos ku in liye acn elos fahsr nu we, a mwet lalfon uh tia ku.” Tusruktu nga etu pac lah ouiya sefanna pa soanekut kewa.
14The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
15Nga sifacna nunku, “Ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet lalfon uh ac sikyak pacna nu sik. Ouinge mwe mea ngan lalmwetmet?” Na nga sifacna topuk, “Wangi — nwanginna pwaye sripa.”
15Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
16Wangin mwet esam mwet lalmwetmet uh, ac wangin mwet esam mwet lalfon. In len fahsru uh, kut nukewa ac fah mulkinyukla. Kut nukewa ac fah misa, mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet lalfon oana sie.
16For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man ? as the fool.
17Ke ma inge wanginna kalmen moul nu sik, mweyen wanginna ma nga eis kac sayen mwe lokoalok mukena. Ma nukewa ma lusrongten. Oana ngan ukwe na eng uh.
17Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
18Orekma nukewa ma nga orala wanginna kalmeya nu sik, mweyen nga etu lah ac ma na lun mwet se ma aolyula,
18¶ Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
19na el ac ku in lalmwetmet, ku el ac ku in lalfon, su etu? Tusruktu el pa ac la ma nukewa ma nga kemkatu kac — ma nukewa ma lalmwetmet luk uh ase nu sik fin faclu. Ma inge nukewa ma lusrongten.
19And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
20Ouinge nga auli lah nga arulana kemkatu kac.
20Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
21Kom orekmakin lalmwetmet, etauk, ac pisrla lom nufon in orala sie ma, na kom ac filiya nu sin sie su tia wi orekma kac. Wanginna sripa, ac tia pac suwohs!
21For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
22Kom orekma ac fosrnga ke lusen moul lom nufon, ac mea nu sum kac?
22For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
23Ke lusen na moul lom, ma nukewa kom oru use na inse fosrnga ac inse toasr. Finne ke fong, nunak lom koflana mongla ke nunkeya. Ma inge nukewa ma lusrongten.
23For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
24Ma se wo emeet mwet se in oru pa elan mongo ac nim ac insewowokin ma el kosrani. Ac nga akilen lah finne ma inge, ma tuku sin God me.
24¶ There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
25Su ku in mongo ku insewowokin moul lal God El fin tia sang nu sel?
25For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto , more than I?
26God El sang lalmwetmet, etauk, ac insewowo nu selos su oru lungse lal, a El oru tuh mwet koluk uh in orekma, kosrani, ac karinganang, tuh ma elos eis in ku in itukyang nu selos su oru ma lungse lal. Ma inge nukewa ma lusrongten. Oana ukweyen eng uh.
26For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
