JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Nimet sok sin mwet koluk, ac nimet oru kom in kawuk selos.
1Be not thou envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2Pacl nukewa elos pwapa sulal, ac sramsram lalos mwe na purakak lokoalok.
2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3Lohm uh musaiyuk fin pwelung lun lalmwetmet ac etauk.
3Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established;
4Acn ma oasr etauk we, infukil uh yunla ke ma saok ac oaskulana.
4And by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5Wo in lalmwetmet liki na in ku; aok, yohk sripa in etauk liki in fokoko.
5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
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.
6For with wise advice thou shalt make thy war; and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
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.
7Wisdom is as unattainable to a fool as corals; he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8Kom fin orek pwapa koluk pacl nukewa, ac fah eteyuk kom lah kom sie mwet orek lokoalok.
8He that deviseth to do evil, men shall call him a mischievous person.
9Ma nukewa sie mwet lalfon ac nunkauk in oru uh ac ma na koluk. Mwet uh srunga mwet se ma kwacna aklusrongtenye mwet.
9The thought of foolishness is sin; and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10Kom fin munasla ke pacl kom sun ma upa, kalmac pa ku lom uh srikla.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small indeed.
11Nimet alolo in molela sie mwet su akola in anwuki ke sripen nununku sesuwos.
11Deliver them that are drawn unto death; and those that are ready to be slain wilt thou forbear to rescue?
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.
12If thou sayest: 'Behold, we knew not this', doth not He that weigheth the hearts 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?
13Tulik nutik, kom in mongo honey, mweyen arulana wo. Oana ke honey emwem in oalum,
13My son, eat thou honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to thy taste;
14ouinge lalmwetmet uh wo nu ke ngunum. Kom fin eis lalmwetmet, na moul lom in pacl fahsru ac fah wo.
14So know thou wisdom to be unto thy soul; if thou hast found it, then shall there be a future, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
15Nimet oana sie mwet koluk su pwapa sulal in pisrala ma lun sie mwet suwohs, ku in eisla lohm sel.
15Lie not in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous, spoil not his resting-place;
16Finne pus pacl sie mwet suwohs el ikori, el ac sifil tuyak, a mwe ongoiya uh kunausla mwet koluk.
16For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again, but the wicked stumble under adversity.
17Nimet engan ke pacl mwet lokoalok lom sun ongoiya uh, ac nimet enganak ke pacl el tukulkul.
17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth;
18LEUM GOD El ac etu lah kom engankin, ac El ac tia lungse; fin ouinge, sahp El ac tia sang kai nu sel.
18Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him.
19Nimet lela mwet koluk in akfosrngaye kom; ac nimet sok selos,
19Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20mweyen wangin finsrak lun sie mwet koluk nu ke pacl fahsru. Wangin ma el akwot nu kac.
20For there will be no future to the evil man, the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21Tulik nutik, kom in akfulatye LEUM GOD ac sunakin tokosra. Nimet asruoki nu sin mwet su lainulos.
21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king, and meddle not with them that are given to change;
22Mwet ouinge uh ac sa na in kunausyukla. Ya kom akilen luman ongoiya ma ku in tuku sin God me ac sin tokosra me?
22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin from them both?
23Mwet lalmwetmet uh oayapa fahk ma inge: Tia wo sie mwet nununku in wiwimwet.
23These also are sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
24El fin sang mwata nu fin mwet se ma suwohs, mwet nukewa ac srungal ac selngawel.
24He that saith unto the wicked: 'Thou art righteous', peoples shall curse him, nations shall execrate him;
25A kutena mwet nununku su kai mwet oasr mwata, elos fah kapkapak ac mwet uh ac kaksakunulos.
25But to them that decide justly shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26El su kawuk na pwaye lom el ac topuk kom ke kas pwaye.
26He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer.
27Akola ima lom ac yukwiya ma kom ac moul kac, na kom fah musai lohm sum ac sou lom.
27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thy house.
28Nimet orek loh lain sie mwet fin wangin mwatal. Nimet fahk kutena ma sutuu kacl.
28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
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!”
29Say not: 'I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.'
30Nga fahsr sasla ke ima in grape lun sie mwet alsrangesr ac lalfon.
30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31Kupoi ke kokul ac mah kap wel, ac pot ma kuhlasak uh mokukla.
31And, lo, it was all grown over with thistles, the face thereof was covered with nettles, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32Nga liye ma inge ac nunku kac, na pa inge mwe luti nga eis kac:
32Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction.
33Farpoeni ac mongla kutu srisrik, eis pacl in motul lom,
33'Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep' —
34tusruktu ke kom srakna motul, sukasrup ac fah tuku nu fom oana sie mwet pisrapasr su us mwe anwuk inpaol.
34So shall thy poverty come as a runner, and thy want as an armed man.
