Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.
1Lalmwetmet el musaeak lohm sel, ac orala sru itkosr kac.
2She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.
2El sapkin in anwuki soko kosro nu ke sie kufwa, ac kurrauk mwe akyu mongo nu ke wain uh, ac akoela tepu nu kac.
3She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:
3El supwala mutan fusr kulansap lal nu yen fulat ke siti uh elos in pang ac fahk,
4“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
4“Utyak, kowos su wangin etauk la!” Ac nu sin mwet lalfon el fahk,
5“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
5“Fahsru, kang mwe mongo nak, ac nim ke wain ma nga kurrauk.
6Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
6Fahsr liki mwet nikin ingan ac moul. Fahsr ke inkanek lun etauk.”
7One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
7Kom fin kai sie mwet filang, el ac folokin ke kas in akmwekin. Kom fin kai sie mwet koluk, el ac suk in akngalye kom.
8Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
8Nimet kai sie mwet filang; el ac srungakom. A kom fin aksuwosye sie mwet lalmwetmet, el ac akfulatye kom.
9Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.
9Kutena ma kom ac fahk nu sin sie mwet lalmwetmet ac akyokye lalmwetmet lal, ac ma nukewa kom ac fahk nu sin sie mwet suwoswos ac laesla etauk lal.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
10Sangeng sin LEUM GOD pa mutaweyen lalmwetmet. Ac eteyen El su Mutal pa etauk.
11For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
11Lalmwetmet uh ac akloesye moul lom.
12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.
12Kom pa ac eis woiya kom fin lalmwetmet, ac kom fin srangesr eis, na kom ac keok.
13The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing.
13Lalfon el oana sie mutan wowon, su nikin ac sumwekin.
14She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14El muta ke mutunoa in lohm sel, ku muta fin sie mwe muta fulat in siti uh,
15to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,
15ac pang nu selos su fahsr alukella nu ke orekma lalos sifacna. El fahk,
16“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
16“Utyak, kowos su wangin etauk la!” Ac nu sin mwet lalfon el fahk,
17“Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
17“Kof pisrapasrla uh arulana emwem. Bread pisrapasrla uh pa arulana yu.”
18But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
18Mwet inge tiana etu lah mwet nukewa ma som nu in lohm sel uh misa; ac elos su utyak tari nu yorol, inge elos oan yen loal in facl lun mwet misa.
