Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, For thou knowest not what a day bringeth forth.
Nimet konkin ke ma kom ako in oru lutu, mweyen kom tia etu lah mea ac sikyak ingela.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, A stranger, and not thine own lips.
Lela mwet ngia in kaksakin kom — finne sie mwet kom tia etu. Nimet sifacna kaksakin kom.
3 A stone [is] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both.
Toasr lun eot ac puk uh tia ku in lumweyuk nu ke toasr lun mwe lokoalok ma sie mwet lalfon el sripauk.
4 Fury [is] fierce, and anger [is] overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy?
Kasrkusrak el sulallal ac orala ongoiya lulap, tusruktu tia apkuran nu ke lemta!
5 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love.
Wo in aksuwosye sie mwet lemtulauk, liki na in fuhlela elan nunku mu wangin nunak lom kacl.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy.
Sie mwet kawuk el nunak pwaye nu sum el finne kai kom, a kom in taran sie mwet lokoalok su akukula nu sum.
7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And [to] a hungry soul every bitter thing [is] sweet.
Pacl se kom kihpi uh kom ac srunga kang honey, tusruktu pacl kom masrinsral, finne mongo mukol ac emwem sum.
8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering from his place.
Sie mwet su muta loes liki acn sel oana sie won ma som loes liki ahng lal.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend — from counsel of the soul.
Ono keng ac mwe akmusra keng uh mwe akinsewowoye kom, a mwe lokoalok uh kunausla inse misla lom.
10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better [is] a near neighbour than a brother afar off.
Nimet mulkunla mwet kawuk lom ku kawuk lun papa tomom. Kom fin sun ongoiya, nimet siyuk tamulel lom in kasrekom; sie mwet tulan su muta apkuran nu yurum ku in kasrekom liki sie tamulel su muta loesla.
11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word.
Tulik nutik, kom in lalmwetmet ac nga fah arulana engan; nga fah ku in topuk mwet nukewa su akkolukyeyu.
12 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished.
Ke 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.
13 Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And for a strange woman pledge it.
Sie mwet su wulela in fosrngakin soemoul lun sie mwetsac, el enenu in sang nuknuk lal sifacna in mwe akpwaye nu ke soemoul el wuleang kac.
14 Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him.
Kom fin sala okasak mwet kawuk lom ke sie pusra lulap ke lututang, ac fah oana kom in filiya sie selnga nu facl.
15 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike,
Sie mutan payuk su lungsena torkaskas, el oana pusren tultul in kof ke len af uh.
16 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out.
Kom ac oru fuka elan misla? Ya nu oasr pacl kom srike in tulokinya eng uh, ku sruokya mwe akmusra luin poum?
17 Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.
Mwet uh alutluti sie sin sie, oana ke osra uh ac sang tamla osra.
18 The keeper of a fig-tree eateth its fruit, And the preserver of his master is honoured.
Kom fin karingin soko sak fig, kom ac fah kang fahko kac. Sie mwet kulansap su karingin mwet kacto lal, fah akfulatyeyuk.
19 As [in] water the face [is] to face, So the heart of man to man.
Ngunin motom sifacna pa kom liye in kof uh, ac insiom pa fahkak ouiyom sifacna.
Kena lun mwet uh tia ku in safla — oana ke facl lun mwet misa tia ku in nwanala. (Sheol h7585)
21 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise.
E uh pa likliki gold ac silver; ac elahn sie mwet kalem ke kaksak lun mwet uh.
22 If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things — with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off him.
Kom finne sringil sie mwet lalfon nwe ke el apkuran in misa, kom tia ku in sisla lalfon lal.
23 Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the droves,
Karinganang sheep ac nani nutum akwoya,
24 For riches [are] not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation.
mweyen mwe kasrup uh sukawil. Finne mutunfacl lulap uh, ac tia oan nwe tok.
25 Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And gathered the herbs of mountains.
Pakela mah nun sheep ac nani uh, ac ke kom soano in sifil srunak, kom ku in eisani mah pe eol uh.
26 Lambs [are] for thy clothing, And the price of the field [are] he-goats,
Kom ku in orala nuknuk ke unen sheep nutum, ac moul acn ke mani kom sruokya ke nani ma kom kukakunla.
27 And a sufficiency of goats' milk [is] for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels!
Na kom, ac sou lom wi mutan kulansap lom, fah ku in nim milk ke nani lula uh.
