Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Mwet se ma tia lungse kupasr nu sin mwet, el nunku kacl sifacna. El ac tiana insese nu ke ma mwet ngia pangon mu suwohs.
1He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, and snarlest against all sound wisdom.
2Sie mwet lalfon el lungse fahk nunak lal sifacna. El tia suk elan kalem ke nunak lun mwet ngia.
2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.
3Ma koluk ac mwekin uh tukeni fahsr. Kom fin orala sie ma koluk, ac sufanyuk kom.
3When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4Kas lun sie mwet ac ku in ase lalmwetmet — loal oana meoa, ac loslos oana soko infacl.
4The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.
5Tia wo in wi layen lun mwet ma orala ma koluk, mweyen ac ku in sruokya nununku suwohs liki mwet wangin mwata.
5It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6Ke pacl se mwet lalfon el purakak sie akukuin, el sifacna suk in sringsring el.
6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7Ke sie mwet lalfon el kaskas, el sifacna akkolukyalla; el sruhu ke kas lal sifacna.
7A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8Arulana wo eman lesrik uh. Kut lungse na ukumya.
8The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9Koluk lun sie mwet alsrangesr, oapana koluk lun sie mwet kunausten.
9Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10LEUM GOD El oana sie tower na ku, yen mwet suwoswos ku in som ac wikla we.
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.
11Mwet kasrup elos nunku mu mwe kasrup lalos ac karinganulos oana pot fulat ma rauneak sie siti.
11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12Sie mwet inse pusisel ac fah akfulatyeyuk. El su inse fulat ac fah sun ongoiya.
12Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
13Porongo meet liki kom topuk. Kom fin tia oru ouinge, kom oana sie mwet lalfon ac kom ac fah mwekin.
13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.
14Kuiyen nunak lom ku in kasrekom ke pacl kom mas. Fin wanginla, na finsrak lom ac wanginla pac.
14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15Sie mwet lalmwetmet el suk in akyokye etauk lal pacl nukewa.
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16Kom fin ke osun nu sin sie mwet fulat, us sie mwe sang an lom nu sel, na ac fah fisrasr kom in sonol.
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17Ke pacl in nununku, mwet se ma sramsram meet ac lumweyuk mu el pa pwaye, nwe ke pacl se mwet se lainul uh mutawauk in kisen siyuk sel.
17He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.
18Mwet fulat luo fin amei in acn in nununku, na susfa pa ku in aksafyela.
18The lot causeth strife to cease, and parteth asunder the contentious.
19Kasru ma lim ac el ac fah karingin kom oana sie pot ku lun siti uh. A kom fin akukuin nu sel, el ac fah kaliya srungul lal nu sum.
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20Kom ac fah kosrani ma wo ku ma koluk ke kas nukewa kom fahk.
20A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21Ma kom fahk uh ku in karingin moul ku kunausla moul; ouinge kom ac sifacna eis fokin ma kom fahk.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22El su konauk sie mutan kial el konauk sie ma arulana wo; ma inge akkalemye kulang lun LEUM GOD nu sel.
22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23Pacl sie mwet sukasrup el kaskas el enenu in kas fisrasr. A top lun mwet kasrup uh arulana kou.
23The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently.
24Kutu kawuk uh tiana kawil, a kutu kawuk uh wo liki na tamulel.
24There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
