Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
1Kom ac fin sule inmasrlon elah wo ac mwe kasrup, sulela elah wo.
2The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is the maker of them all.
2Oasr ma se mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie kac: elos kewa orekla sin LEUM GOD .
3A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
3Ke pacl se mwe lokoalok tuku, mwet etu elos ac fahsr liki; a sie mwet wangin nunak la ac fahsryang nu kac, na toko el auli.
4The result of humility and the fear of the LORD is wealth, honor, and life.
4Akfulatye LEUM GOD ac inse pusisel, na kom ac fah kasrup, sunakinyuk, ac loes moul lom.
5Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays far from them.
5Kom fin lungse moul lom, na fahsr liki mwe kwasrip ma srumasrla mwet koluk ke inkanek lalos.
6Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
6Luti nu sin sie tulik inkanek fal elan fahsr kac, na ke el matula el fah tia fahsr liki.
7The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
7Mwet sukasrup elos mwet kulansap lun mwet kasrup. Ouinge, kom fin ngisre mani sin sie mwet, na kom mwet kulansap lun mwet sac.
8He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
8Kutena mwet su taknelik fita lun orekma koluk ac fah kosrani ongoiya, na kasrkusrak upa lalos ac safla.
9He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
9Kom in kulang ac kasru mwet sukasrup ke mwe mongo nom, na ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk kom.
10Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
10Sisla mwet se ma inse fulat, na ac fah wanginla akukuin, amei, ac akkolukye sie sin sie.
11He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king’s friend.
11El su lungse inse nasnas ac kaskas kulang, tokosra el ac mwet kawuk lal.
12The LORD’s eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
12LEUM GOD El akkeye mwet orekma pwaye, a El tia akkeye kas kikiap lun mwet kutasrik.
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
13Sie mwet alsrangesr el mutana in lohm sel; el mu el fin tufoki soko lion ac sruokilya.
14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under the LORD’s wrath will fall into it.
14Kas lun sie mutan koluk oana sie luf na loal. Elos su akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD fah putatyang nu loac.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
15Tulik srisrik uh ac nuna oru ma lalfon ke elos srik, tuh kaiyuk wo uh ac lotelos in oru ma fal.
16Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
16Kom fin sang mwe kite nu sin mwet kasrup, ku akkeokye mwet sukasrup in akyokye ma laesla lom, kom ac sifacna oru tuh kom in sukasrup.
17Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
17Porongo, ac nga fah luti nu sum kas lun mwet lalmwetmet. Lotela mwe luti lalos,
18For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
18ac kom ac fah insewowo kom fin esam ac kaliya.
19I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in the LORD.
19Nga lungse kom in filiya lulalfongi lom in LEUM GOD ; pa oru nga akola in fahkak ma inge nu sum misenge.
20Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge,
20Nga simusla tari kas lalmwetmet tolngoul nu sum. Oasr kas in etauk ac kas in kasru
21To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
21su ac fah luti nu sum kalmen ma suwohs ac pwaye. Na pacl se ac supweyukla kom in konauk, kom ac foloko use top suwohs.
22Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;
22Nimet pisre ma lun mwet sukasrup ke sripenna kom ku lukelos. Nimet orek kutasrik nu selos su wangin kasreyalos in acn in nununku.
23for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
23LEUM GOD El ac fah aululos sramsram, ac El ac fah kalyaelos su akkeokye mwet sukasrup ingan.
24Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
24Nimet asruoki nu sin mwet mongsa,
25lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
25sahp kom ac lotela ouiya lalos ac kofla ekulla tok.
26Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.
26Nimet wulela in fosrngakin soemoul lun kutena mwet.
27If you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
27Kom fin kofla in akfalyela, elos ac eisla ma lom nukewa, finne mwe oan kiom.
28Don’t move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up.
28Nimet mokle akilenyen sie masrol matu ma oakwuki sin mwet matu lom somla.
29Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men.
29Kom fin konauk sie mwet pah ac wo ke orekma, el ac fal in orekma nu sin tokosra, ac tia nu sin mwet pilasr.
