Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
1Tulik nutik, nimet mulkunla ma nga luti nu sum. Esam ma nukewa ma nga fahk nu sum in oru.
2for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
2Mwe luti luk ac fah akloesye moul lom ac akinsewowoye.
3Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
3Nimet lela kulang ac inse pwaye in wanginla liki kom. Kapriya inkwawom, ac simusla insiom.
4So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4Kom fin oru ouinge, kom ac fah ohi yurin God ac mwet uh.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
5Lulalfongi LEUM GOD ke insiom kewa. Nimet lulalfongi etu lom sifacna.
6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
6Esam LEUM GOD in ma nukewa kom oru, ac El ac fah akkalemye inkanek suwohs nu sum.
7Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
7Nimet sifacna nunku mu kom arulana fas in lalmwetmet lom; akos LEUM GOD ac fahsr liki ma koluk.
8It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
8Kom fin oru ouinge, ac fah akkeye monum, ac sot ku nu sum.
9Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
9Akfulatye LEUM GOD ke mwe sang lom nu sel ke mwe kasrup lom, ac ke fahko se meet ke ima lom.
10so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
10Kom fin oru ouinge, nien filma lom ac fah nwanala ke wheat, ac nien wain lom ac fah kahkkakla ke wain.
11My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
11Tulik nutik, nimet pilesru kas in kai lun LEUM GOD nu sum, a lohang nu kac ac eis mu mwe sensenkakin kom.
12for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
12LEUM GOD El kaelos su El lungse, oana ke sie papa kai tulik su el insewowo kac.
13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
13Insewowo mwet se su konauk lalmwetmet, ac su sun etauk.
14For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
14Ma laesla kac yohk liki ma laesla ke silver, ac yohk sripa nu sum liki gold.
15She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
15Lalmwetmet el saok liki wek saok. Wangin kutena ma kom lungse ku in lumweyuk nu kac.
16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
16Lalmwetmet uh ac akloesye moul lom, akkasrupye kom, ac oru in sunakinyuk kom.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
17Inkanek lun lalmwetmet uh ac mwe engan nu sum, ac kol kom nu ke moul in misla.
18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
18Lalmwetmet uh oana sak in moul nu selos su eisal, ac mwe insewowo nu selos su akfulatyal.
19By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
19LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ke etu lal El oakiya ma oan inkusrao.
20By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
20Lalmwetmet lal uh oru kof ye faclu in unonak, Ac pukunyeng uh in kahkunma af nu fin faclu.
21My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
21Tulik nutik, sruokya ku liyaten, ac lohang in wo nu ke ma kom oru.
22so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
22Ma inge ac sot moul wo ac insewowo nu sum.
23Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
23Kom ac fah fahsr ke inkanek in misla, ac tiana tukulkul.
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
24Kom ac fah tia sangeng ke kom motul, ac kom ac fah motul folosowosla ke fong uh.
25Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
25Kom ac tia sensen ke mwe fosrnga su ac sa sikyak, oana paka ma sun mwet koluk uh.
26for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
26LEUM GOD El ac karingin kom. El ac fah tia lela niom in sremla.
27Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
27In pacl nukewa ma kom ku, kom in kasrelos su fal in eis kasru, ac tia sruokya ma wo lukelos.
28Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
28Nimet fahk nu sin mwet tulan lom in soano nu ke len tok ah, kom fin ku in kasrel ingena.
29Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
29Nimet akoo kutena ma ac tuh akkolukye mwet tulan lom; el muta siskom ac lulalfongi kom.
30Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
30Nimet akukuin nu sin sie mwet ke wangin sripa, fin wangin ma el oru in akkolukye kom.
31Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
31Nimet mwel ma lun mwet sulallal, ku nunkauk in oru oana elos oru,
32For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
32mweyen LEUM GOD El srunga mwet orekma koluk, a El insraelak nu sin mwet suwoswos.
33The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
33Mwe selnga lun LEUM GOD oan fin lohm sin mwet koluk, a mwe insewowo lal oan fin lohm sin mwet suwoswos.
34Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
34El tiana lohang nu sin mwet inse fulat, a El kulang nu sin mwet pusisel.
35The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
35Mwet lalmwetmet uh ac akfulatyeyuk, a mwet lalfon uh ac yokelik mwekin lalos.
