Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
1Kut ku in oru pwapa lasr, tusruktu kas safla kac uh ma lun God.
2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the motives.
2Kom ac nunku mu ma nukewa kom oru uh suwohs, tuh LEUM GOD El liye nunak lun insiom.
3Commit your deeds to the LORD, and your plans shall succeed.
3Siyuk LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye pwapa lom, na kom ac fah ku in orala.
4The LORD has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
4Ma nukewa LEUM GOD El orala ac oasr saflaiya; na saflaiyen mwet koluk uh pa in sikiyukla.
5Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; they shall certainly not be unpunished.
5LEUM GOD El srunga mwet nukewa su filang. El ac fah tia lela elos in kaingkunla mwe kaiyuk nu selos.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
6Kom in oaru ac inse pwaye, ac God El fah nunak munas ke ma koluk lom. Alfulatye LEUM GOD na wangin ma koluk ac fah sikyak nu sum.
7When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
7Pacl kom akinsewowoye LEUM GOD , mwet lokoalok lom uh ac ekla mwet kawuk lom.
8Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.
8Kom fin eis srik ke inkanek suwohs, wo liki ke kom eis yohk ke inkanek sesuwos.
9A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps.
9Kom ku in lumahla ma kom ac oru, a God pa ac oakiya inkanek lom.
10Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth.
10Tokosra el kaskas ke ku sin God me; na sulela lal pwaye pacl nukewa.
11Honest balances and scales are the LORD’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.
11LEUM GOD El lungse tuh mwe paun ac mwe srikasrak nukewa in suwohs, ac molin mwe kuka in fal.
12It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
12Tokosra elos tia ku in lela ma koluk in orek, mweyen nununku suwohs pa oru sie mutunfacl in ku.
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
13Sie tokosra el lungse lohng ma pwaye, ac el insewowo selos su kaskas suwohs.
14The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
14Mwet lalmwetmet elos srike in akenganye tokosra, mweyen el fin kasrkusrakak, ac ku in oasr mwet misa.
15In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
15Sie tokosra fin insewowo sum, ac mwe insewowo nu ke moul lom; oana ke pukunyeng use af ke pacl mut.
16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
16Arulana wo in oasr lalmwetmet ac etauk, liki in oasr gold ac silver.
17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
17Mwet wo elos fufahsryesr ke soko inkanek ma ac tia kololos nu ke ma koluk; ouinge karinganang acn kom fahsr nu we — mweyen ac ku in molela moul lom.
18Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
18Inse fulat ac kol nu ke ongoiya lulap, ac mwet filang elos ac ikori.
19It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.
19Wo kom in inse pusisel ac sukasrup, liki na kom in weang mwet inse fulat ac ipeis ke ma wap ma elos pisrala.
20He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in the LORD is blessed.
20Lohang nu ke ma lutiyuk kom kac, na kom ac fah eis moul wo ouiya. Lulalfongi in LEUM GOD ac kom ac fah engan.
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
21Sie mwet lalmwetmet akilenyuk ke etauk lal. Fin wo kas in luti lal, mwet uh ac insewowo in lutlut sel.
22Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.
22Etauk el sie unon lun moul nu selos su lalmwetmet, a kom fin srike in luti mwet lalfon, kom sisla pacl lom ke wangin.
23The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
23Mwet lalmwetmet elos nunkala mau meet liki elos kaskas; na ma elos fahk uh mwet uh engan in lohng.
24Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
24Kas kulang uh emwem oana honey — wo emah, ac wo pac nu ke mano.
25There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
25Inkanek soko ma kom nunku mu pwaya uh, sahp ac kolkomla nu ke misa.
26The appetite of the laboring man labors for him, for his mouth urges him on.
26Masrinsral lun sie mwet ac oru el orekma upa, tuh in ku in oasr mwe mongo nal.
27A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.
27Mwet koluk elos suk inkanek in aklokoalokye mwet. Kas lalos uh firirrir oana e.
28A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.
28Lesrik uh srumunyukelik sin mwet koluk. Elos purakak lokoalok ac kunausla inmasrlon kawuk uh.
29A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.
29Mwet sulallal elos kiapwela mwet kawuk lalos, ac kololosla nu ke mwe ongoiya.
30One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
30Taran mwet su kotmwet nu sum ac kikiap in israsr, mweyen oasr ma koluk elos akoo.
31Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.
31Lacnen suwoswos pa moul loeleos, ac aunsuf fiaya el oana sie tefuro wolana.
32One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
32Mongfisrasr wo liki orek ku. Sifacna leum fom, wo liki in leumi siti puspis.
33The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
33Mwet uh susfa in konauk ma lungse lun God, tusruktu God pa sulela top nu kac.
