Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
1Lohng! Lalmwetmet el wowoyak. Etauk el oru pusracl in lohngyuk.
2On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands.
2El tu fin tohktok uh sisken inkanek, Ac yen inkanek uh osun we.
3Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
3Ke nien utyak nu in siti uh Sisken mutunoa el pang ac fahk:
4“I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
4“Nga kwafe suwos nukewa; Nga pang nu sin mwet nukewa faclu.
5You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
5Kowos su srakna elahn tulik, oru kowos in elahn mwet matu. Ya kowos lalfon? Lutlut in oasr etauk lowos.
6Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
6Lohng kas wolana luk. Ma nukewa nga fahk uh suwohs.
7For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
7Kas nukewa luk pwayena; Kas kikiap uh mwe srungayuk sik.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
8Ma nukewa nga fahk uh pwaye, Wangin kutena ma sesuwos ku mwe kiapu mwet.
9They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
9Nu sin mwet liyaten uh, ma inge nukewa kalem, Ac nu selos su oasr etauk la, fisrasr elos in kalem kac.
10Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.
10Sulela kas in luti luk liki na silver; Sulela etauk liki na in eis gold nasnas.
11For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
11“Nga pa Lalmwetmet. Nga wo liki mwe naweyuk uh; Wangin ma kom lungse ac ku in lumweyuk nu sik.
12“I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
12Nga Lalmwetmet ac liyaten; Oasr etauk ac nunak suwohs in nga.
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
13Elos nukewa su akfulatye LEUM GOD elos kwase ma koluk. Nga srunga inse fulat ac filang, Oayapa inkanek koluk ac kas kikiap.
14Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
14Nga orek pwapa, ac nga akfahsrye. Oasr ku ac etauk yuruk.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
15Nga kasru tokosra uh in leumi mwet uh, Ac nga kasru mwet kol in oru ma sap suwohs.
16By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
16Mwet kol nukewa faclu leumi mwet uh ke kasru luk — Fisrak ac mwet leum fin faclu oana sie.
17I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
17Nga lungse elos nukewa su lungse nga; Kutena mwet su sukyu, ku in koneyuyak.
18With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.
18Oasr mwe kasrup ac sunak, Wo ouiya ac kapkapak yuruk in kitala.
19My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.
19Ma kom ac eis sik uh saok liki gold ma wo emeet, Ac wo liki pac silver ma arulana nasnas.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,
20Nga fufahsryesr ke inkanek suwoswos; Nga fahsr tukun inkanek lun nununku suwohs.
21that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
21Nga sang mwe kasrup nu selos su lungse nga, Ac nwakla lohm selos ke ma saok.
22“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
22“ LEUM GOD El oreyula meet liki ma nukewa, Orekma se emeet lal in pacl loeloes somla.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
23Orekla nga ke mutaweyen ma nukewa, Meet liki na orekla faclu.
24When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water.
24Nga isusla meet liki oasr meoa, Pacl ma soenna oasr unon in kof.
25Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;
25Nga isusla meet liki oasr fineol uh, Meet liki tohktok uh oakiyuki,
26while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
26Meet liki na ke God El orala faclu, ku inima we — Soenna oasr kutkut srisrik lun infohk uh.
27When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
27Nga oasr we ke El oakiya ma oan inkusrao, Ac ke El asroelik pekusra uh fin meoa,
28when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
28Ke pacl se el filiya pukunyeng yen engyengu, Ke El ikasla unon in kof in meoa,
29when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
29Ac ke El sapkin tuh kof in meoa uh in tia alukela srikasrak ma El oakiya. Nga muta we ke El oakiya pwelung loangeyen faclu.
30then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
30Nga muta siskal oana sie mwet lemlem nu ke musa. Len nukewa nga mwe engan nu sel, Ac nga engan ye mutal pacl nukewa —
31rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
31Nga engan ke faclu, Ac ke mwet su muta fin faclu.
32“Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
32“Ke ma inge, tulik nutik, lohngyu inge. Oru oana ke nga fahk, ac kowos ac fah insewowo.
33Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.
33Lohng ma lutiyuk kowos kac, Aklalmwetmetye kowos, ac tia pilesru.
34Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
34Insewowo mwet se su muta ke mutunoa sik len nukewa, Ac soano in lohngyu ke nien utyak nu inkul sik.
35For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from the LORD.
35Mwet se su koneyuyak el konauk moul, Ac LEUM GOD El ac fah insewowo sel.
36But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”
36Mwet se su tia koneyuyak el sifacna kunausulla; Kutena mwet su srungayu, lungse misa.”
