Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
1Kas inge kas oa nu sel Tokosra Lemuel sin nina kial:
2“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
2“Kom wen kulo nutik, topken pre luk. Mea fal ngan fahk nu sum?
3Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
3Nimet kom sisla kuiyom ke inkanek in kosro, ac mani lom ke mutan; ma inge kunausla tari tokosra puspis.
4It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
4Lemuel, porongeyu. Tokosra uh tia enenu in nim wain, ku oasroasr ke mwe nim ku.
5lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
5Ke pacl elos nimnim uh, elos mulkunla ma sap, ac pilesrala enenu lun mwet ongoiya.
6Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
6Mwe nim ku uh ma na nu sin mwet ma apkuran in misa, ku elos su keoklana.
7Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
7Lela elos in nim mwe sruhi elos in mulkunla sukasrup lalos ac supwar lalos.
8Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
8“Kom in sramsram in aol mwet su tia ku in sifacna fahkak enenu lalos. Karingin suwohs lalos nukewa su mukaimtal ac kofla in sifacna.
9Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
9Aolulos sramsram, ac oru kom in sie mwet nununku suwohs. Karingin suwohs lalos su sukasrup ac kwaco.”
10Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies.
10Arulana upa in konauk sie mutan pah in ma nukewa! El saok liki wek yohk molo!
11The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
11Mukul tumal uh filiya lulalfongi lal sel, ac el fah tiana enenu kutena ma.
12She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
12Ke lusen moul lal nufon mutan se inge oru na ma wo nu sin mukul tumal, ac tia oru kutena ma koluk nu sel.
13She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
13El kafofona in orek nuknuk ke unen sheep ac linen.
14She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
14El use mongo nu lohm sel yen loesla me, oana ke oak wiwa kako uh oru.
15She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
15El ngutalik meet liki lenelik ac akola mongo nu sin sou lal, ac fahk nu sin mutan kulansap lal ma elos in oru.
16She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
16El suk sie ipin acn ac molela; el orekmakin mani el sruokya in yukwiya ima in grape se.
17She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
17El sie mwet alken, ku, ac moniyuk in orekma.
18She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn’t go out by night.
18El etu lupan kapak ke ma nukewa el oru, ac el orekma paht ke fong.
19She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
19El sifacna orek turet, ac sang otwela nuknuk.
20She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
20El kulang nu sin mwet sukasrup ac mwet enenu.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
21El tia fosrnga ke pacl ohu ke sripen oasr nuknuk fusrfusr lun sou lal.
22She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
22El sifacna orala mwe loeyuk bed, ac el nukum nuknuk wowo orekla ke linen sroninmutuk.
23Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
23Mukul tumal eteyuk in acn sel, ac el sie mwet kol we.
24She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
24Mutan se inge el orek nuknuk ac mwe lohl, ac kukakin nu sin mwet kuka.
25Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
25El sie mutan ku in mano su akfulatyeyuk, ac el tia elya ke pacl fahsru.
26She opens her mouth with wisdom. Kind instruction is on her tongue.
26Kas lal uh lalmwetmet ac kulang.
27She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness.
27El kafofo pacl nukewa, ac karingin enenu lun sou lal.
28Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
28Tulik natul akkalemye insewowo lalos sel, ac mukul tumal kaksakunul.
29“Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.”
29El fahk mu, “Oasr mutan na wo puspis, a kom wo lukelos nukewa.”
30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
30Kulang uh mwe aklukukye, ac oasku uh tia kawil, a sie mutan su sangeng sin LEUM GOD fal in kaksakinyuk.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!
31Kaksakunul ke ma nukewa el orala. Fallana mwet nukewa in akfulatyal.
