Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
1Sruhila ke mwe nim ku ac oru kom in wowon ac orekma lalfon. Sruhi uh orala sie mwet in lalfonla.
2The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
2Kom in sangeng ke kasrkusrak lun sie tokosra oana ke kom sangeng ke ngutngut lun soko lion. Kom fin akkasrkusrakye sie tokosra, kom sifacna eiskomyang nu ke misa.
3It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.
3Mwet lalfon uh pa sripauk akukuin uh. Ac fah kaksakinyuk elos su tia wi akukuin.
4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
4Sie mwet ima su alsrangesr in plao in pacl fal la, fah tia kosrani fahko.
5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
5Nunak ma oan insien sie mwet, oana kof in sie luf loal; a mwet oasr etauk yoro ku in aketeya in kalem.
6Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?
6Pus na mwet fahk pwaye ac oaru la, tusruktu su selos ku in akpwayeye?
7A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
7Insewowo tulik su papa tumalos oru ma pwaye ac suwohs.
8A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.
8Sie tokosra su muta ke nien nununku, el ac ku in akilen ma koluk ke el liye.
9Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin”?
9Ya oasr sie mwet ku in fahk na pwaye lah nasnas insial ac wanginla ma koluk lal?
10Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
10LEUM GOD El srunga mwe paun kikiap ac mwe srikasrak sesuwos.
11Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
11Finne tulik srisrik se, ac kalem ouiyal ke ma el oru; kom ku in akilen lah el suwohs ac wo.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD has made even both of them.
12LEUM GOD El ase mutasr tuh kut in liye, ac sracsr tuh kut in lohng.
13Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
13Kom fin sisla pacl lom in motul, kom ac sukasrup. Oru kom in kafofo, na ac fah oasr sunun mwe mongo nom.
14“It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
14Mwet moul ke iwen kuka uh torkaskas pacl nukewa mu yokla molin mwe kuka uh, a ke el som el konkin mu srik molin ma el moli uh.
15There is gold and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
15Kas lalmwetmet uh yohk sripa liki gold ac mwe yun saok.
16Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
16Sie mwet su wulela in fosrngakin soemoul lun sie mwetsac el lalfon, na fal elan sang nuknuk lal sifacna in mwe akpwaye nu ke soemoul el wuleang kac.
17Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
17Ma kom eisla ke inkanek sesuwos ac ku in mwe engan nu sum oana sie mwe mongo na yuyu, tuh ac tia paht toko na ac oana sie oalu sessesla ke fikar.
18Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!
18Suk kas in kasru wo, na ma kom oru ac fah fahla wo. Nimet sroang nu ke mweun fin soenna oasr pwapa.
19He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
19Sie mwet lesrik tia ku in okanla ma lukma. Nimet fototo nu yurin mwet oalinkas.
20Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
20Kom fin selngawi papa tomom ku nina kiom, moul lom ac fah oana sie lam kunla in lohsr uh.
21An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.
21Fin fisrasr eisyen mwe kasrup lom an, ac fah srik woiya nu sum.
22Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for the LORD, and he will save you.
22Nimet sifacna foloksak ke ma koluk. Tupan ac lulalfongi in LEUM GOD , ac El fah aksuwosyela.
23The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
23LEUM GOD El tia lungse mwe paun ac mwe srikasrak sesuwos.
24A man’s steps are from the LORD; how then can man understand his way?
24LEUM GOD El oakiya tari inkanek lasr uh, na sie mwet el ac etu fuka inkanek lun moul lal sifacna?
25It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.
25Nunkala akwoya meet liki kom wulela in oru sie mwe kisa nu sin God. Sahp kom ac auli kac tok.
26A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
26Sie tokosra lalmwetmet el ac konauk lah su orala ma koluk uh, na el fah sang kai nu sel ke wangin pakomuta.
27The spirit of man is the LORD’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
27LEUM GOD El ase ngunasr, su oana sie kalem saromrom ma tolak nunak lukma nukewa lasr.
28Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
28Sie tokosra fah mutana in wal lal ke lusenna pacl el oru ma pwaye, suwohs, ac fal.
29The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair.
29Wolana lun mwet fusr pa ku in mano lalos, ac oasku lun mwet matu pa aunsuf fiaya lalos.
30Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.
30Kutu pacl uh kaiyuk upa ku in ekulla ouiyen moul koluk lasr uh.
