Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Kom fin wi sie mwet fulat muta mongo, esam akwoya lah su el uh.
1When thou shalt sit to eat with a prince, consider diligently what is set before thy face.
2Kom finne ke mongo yohk, kom eis na lupa fal.
2And put a knife to thy throat, if it be so that thou have thy soul in thy own power.
3Nimet oasroasr nu ke mwe mongo yuyu el kite kom kac. Sahp el oru in mwe srike kom.
3Be not desirous of his meats, in which is the bread of deceit.
4Kom in lalmwetmet, ac tia kemkatula in suk mwe kasrup.
4Labour not to be rich: but set bounds to thy prudence.
5Mani lom uh ku in wanginla ke kitin pacl na — oana in oasr posohksok kac, na sohkla oana sie eagle.
5Lift not up thy eyes to riches which thou canst not have: because they shall make themselves wings like those of an eagle, and shall fly towards heaven.
6Nimet mongo yurin sie mwet srowohsr, ku mwel mwe mongo yuyu el oru.
6Eat not with an envious man, and desire not his meats:
7El ac fahk mu, “Fahsru eis pac kutu mongo uh,” tusruktu el tia fahk ke inse pwaye. Nunak lal siena.
7Because like a soothsayer, and diviner, he thinketh that which he knoweth not. Eat and drink, will he say to thee: and his mind is not with thee.
8Kom ac wihtacla ma kom kangla, ac kusen eyeinse lom uh wanginla sripa.
8The meats which thou hadst eaten, thou shalt vomit up: and shalt loose thy beautiful words.
9Nimet srike in sramsram in lalmwetmet nu sin sie mwet lalfon; el tia ku in eis in nunku kac.
9Speak not in the ears of fools: because they will despise the instruction of thy speech.
10Nimet mokle sie masrol matu, ku eisla acn lun mwet mukaimtal.
10Touch not the bounds of little ones: and enter not into the field of the fatherless:
11LEUM GOD El ac loangelos ke ku lal, ac aolulos in sramsram lain kom.
11For their near kinsman is strong: and he will judge their cause against thee.
12Porongo mwet luti lom, ac sang kuiyom in lutlut.
12Let thy heart apply itself to instruction: and thy ears to words of knowledge.
13Nimet alolo in kai sie tulik. Sie sringsring fal ac tia unilya,
13Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die.
14a ma ac molela moul lal.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell.
15Tulik nutik, kom fin sun lalmwetmet, nga ac arulana insewowo.
15My son, if thy mind be wise, my heart shall rejoice with thee:
16Nga ac arulana engan ke nga lohng kom fahk kas lalmwetmet.
16And my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips shall speak what is right.
17Nimet sok sin mwet koluk, a kom in akfulatye LEUM GOD pacl nukewa.
17Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long:
18Fin ouinge, kom ac fah sun finsrak nukewa lom.
18Because thou shalt have hope in the latter end, and thy expectation shall not be taken away.
19Tulik nutik, porongeyu. Kom in lalmwetmet ac nunak akloalya ke ouiyen moul lom.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise: and guide thy mind in the way.
20Nimet kupasr nu sin mwet nim wain yokla ac kainmongo.
20Be not in the feasts of great drinkers, nor in their revellings, who contribute flesh to eat:
21Mwet lungse nimnim ac mwet kainmongo elos ac sukasrup. Fin pwayena ma kom oru pa mongo ac motul, ac tia paht na kom nukum nuknuk mihsasa.
21Because they that give themselves to drinking, and that club together shall be consumed; and drowsiness shall be clothed with rags.
22Porongo papa tomom — funu tia el, kom lukun wangin. Ke pacl se nina kiom el matuoh, akkalemye srui lom nu sel.
22Hearken to thy father, that beget thee: and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Pwaye, lalmwetmet, lutlut, ac etauk — ma inge kewa fal kom in moli, tusruktu kom in tia kukakunla, mweyen ma inge arulana saok.
23Buy truth, and do not sell wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24Mwe insewowo nu sin sie papa tulik natul fin lalmwetmet ac moul suwohs.
24The father of the just rejoiceth greatly: he that hath begotten a wise son, shall have joy in him.
25Oru ma ac akinsewowoye papa tomom ac nina kiom. Kom fin oru ouinge, nina kiom el ac arulana engan.
25Let thy father, and thy mother be joyful, and let her rejoice that bore thee.
26Wen nutik, lohang akwoya, ac lela moul luk in mwe srikasrak nu sum.
26My son, give me thy heart: and let thy eyes keep my ways.
27Mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lalos, ac mutan koluk uh, elos sie kwasrip nu ke misa.
27For a harlot is a deep ditch: and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28Elos soanekom oana mwet pisrapasr, ac oru mukul puspis in tia pwaye nu sin mutan kialos.
28She lieth in wait in the way as a robber, and him whom she shall see unwary, she will kill.
29Su oasr ongoiya yoro? Su oasr asor yoro? Su amei ac lungse anwuk finne wangin sripa? Su srusrala atronmuta?
29Who hath woe? whose father hath woe? who hath contentions? who falls into pits? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30Elos su muta paht ke wain uh, ac elos su kar mwe nim ku.
30Surely they that pass their time in wine, and study to drink of their cups.
31Nimet lela wain uh in srifekomla, finne srusra ac saromrom in cup uh, ac arulana wo emah ke kom ac ukumya uh.
31Look not upon the wine when it is yellow, when the colour thereof shineth in the glass: it goeth in pleasantly,
32Ke lotutang tok ah, kom ac pula mu oana soko wet pwasin el ngaliskomi.
32But in the end, it will bite like a snake, and will spread abroad poison like a basilisk.
33Motom ac liye ma sakirik, ac nunak lom ac kaskas lom ac fah tia kalem.
33Thy eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.
34Kom ac pula mu kom kalkal meoa — ikwot ikme oana ke kom muta elucng ke kwesu in oak uh.
34And thou shalt be as one sleeping in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot fast asleep, when the stern is lost.
35Na kom ac fahk, “Oasr mwet puokyu, nga tia pula. Oasr mwet uniyu tuh nga tiana esam. Efu ku nga kofla in tukakek? Nga enenu sie pac mwe nim ah.”
35And thou shalt say: They have beaten me, but I was not sensible of pain: they drew me, and I felt not: when shall I awake, and find wine again?
