1Lohng! Lalmwetmet el wowoyak. Etauk el oru pusracl in lohngyuk.
1Doth not wisdom call, and understanding put forth her voice?
2El tu fin tohktok uh sisken inkanek, Ac yen inkanek uh osun we.
2In the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she standeth;
3Ke nien utyak nu in siti uh Sisken mutunoa el pang ac fahk:
3Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
4“Nga kwafe suwos nukewa; Nga pang nu sin mwet nukewa faclu.
4'Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
5Kowos su srakna elahn tulik, oru kowos in elahn mwet matu. Ya kowos lalfon? Lutlut in oasr etauk lowos.
5O ye thoughtless, understand prudence, and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6Lohng kas wolana luk. Ma nukewa nga fahk uh suwohs.
6Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7Kas nukewa luk pwayena; Kas kikiap uh mwe srungayuk sik.
7For my mouth shall utter truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8Ma nukewa nga fahk uh pwaye, Wangin kutena ma sesuwos ku mwe kiapu mwet.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness, there is nothing perverse or crooked in them.
9Nu sin mwet liyaten uh, ma inge nukewa kalem, Ac nu selos su oasr etauk la, fisrasr elos in kalem kac.
9They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10Sulela kas in luti luk liki na silver; Sulela etauk liki na in eis gold nasnas.
10Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11“Nga pa Lalmwetmet. Nga wo liki mwe naweyuk uh; Wangin ma kom lungse ac ku in lumweyuk nu sik.
11For wisdom is better than rubies, and all things desirable are not to be compared unto her.
12Nga Lalmwetmet ac liyaten; Oasr etauk ac nunak suwohs in nga.
12I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of devices.
13Elos nukewa su akfulatye LEUM GOD elos kwase ma koluk. Nga srunga inse fulat ac filang, Oayapa inkanek koluk ac kas kikiap.
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14Nga orek pwapa, ac nga akfahsrye. Oasr ku ac etauk yuruk.
14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.
15Nga kasru tokosra uh in leumi mwet uh, Ac nga kasru mwet kol in oru ma sap suwohs.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16Mwet kol nukewa faclu leumi mwet uh ke kasru luk — Fisrak ac mwet leum fin faclu oana sie.
16By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17Nga lungse elos nukewa su lungse nga; Kutena mwet su sukyu, ku in koneyuyak.
17I love them that love me, and those that seek me earnestly shall find me.
18Oasr mwe kasrup ac sunak, Wo ouiya ac kapkapak yuruk in kitala.
18Riches and honour are with me; yea, enduring riches and righteousness.
19Ma kom ac eis sik uh saok liki gold ma wo emeet, Ac wo liki pac silver ma arulana nasnas.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my produce than choice silver.
20Nga fufahsryesr ke inkanek suwoswos; Nga fahsr tukun inkanek lun nununku suwohs.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice;
21Nga sang mwe kasrup nu selos su lungse nga, Ac nwakla lohm selos ke ma saok.
21That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries.
22“ LEUM GOD El oreyula meet liki ma nukewa, Orekma se emeet lal in pacl loeloes somla.
22The LORD made me as the beginning of His way, the first of His works of old.
23Orekla nga ke mutaweyen ma nukewa, Meet liki na orekla faclu.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24Nga isusla meet liki oasr meoa, Pacl ma soenna oasr unon in kof.
24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25Nga isusla meet liki oasr fineol uh, Meet liki tohktok uh oakiyuki,
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;
26Meet liki na ke God El orala faclu, ku inima we — Soenna oasr kutkut srisrik lun infohk uh.
26While as yet He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27Nga oasr we ke El oakiya ma oan inkusrao, Ac ke El asroelik pekusra uh fin meoa,
27When He established the heavens, I was there; when He set a circle upon the face of the deep,
28Ke pacl se el filiya pukunyeng yen engyengu, Ke El ikasla unon in kof in meoa,
28When He made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the deep showed their might,
29Ac ke El sapkin tuh kof in meoa uh in tia alukela srikasrak ma El oakiya. Nga muta we ke El oakiya pwelung loangeyen faclu.
29When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not transgress His commandment, when He appointed the foundations of the earth;
30Nga muta siskal oana sie mwet lemlem nu ke musa. Len nukewa nga mwe engan nu sel, Ac nga engan ye mutal pacl nukewa —
30Then I was by Him, as a nursling; and I was daily all delight, playing always before Him,
31Nga engan ke faclu, Ac ke mwet su muta fin faclu.
31Playing in His habitable earth, and my delights are with the sons of men.
32“Ke ma inge, tulik nutik, lohngyu inge. Oru oana ke nga fahk, ac kowos ac fah insewowo.
32Now therefore, ye children, hearken unto me; for happy are they that keep my ways.
33Lohng ma lutiyuk kowos kac, Aklalmwetmetye kowos, ac tia pilesru.
33Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34Insewowo mwet se su muta ke mutunoa sik len nukewa, Ac soano in lohngyu ke nien utyak nu inkul sik.
34Happy is the man that hearkeneth to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35Mwet se su koneyuyak el konauk moul, Ac LEUM GOD El ac fah insewowo sel.
35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
36Mwet se su tia koneyuyak el sifacna kunausulla; Kutena mwet su srungayu, lungse misa.”
36But he that misseth me wrongeth his own soul; all they that hate me love death.'
