Soakas 11
1 LEUM GOD El srunga mwe paun kikiap. Mwe paun suwohs uh mwe insewowo nu sel.
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
2 Mwet filang ac sa na in sifacna mwekinla. Mwet moul efal pa lalmwetmet.
When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 Inse pwaye lun mwet wo uh pa kololos. Kutasrik lun mwet sulallal pa kunauselosla.
The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
4 Ac fah wangin sripen mwe kasrup ke len in misa lom, a moul suwohs ac pwaye ac ku in molela moul lom.
Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
5 Moul suwohs lun sie mwet ac akfisrasrye inkanek lal, a sie mwet koluk fah ikori ke koluk lal sifacna.
The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 Moul suwohs uh molela mwet suwohs liki ongoiya, a mwet se su tia ku in lulalfongiyuk el sremla ke oasroasr lal sifacna.
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
7 Ke pacl sie mwet koluk el misa, finsrak lal welul na wanginla. Lulalfongi lal ke mwe kasrup uh ac wanginla sripa.
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
8 Mwet suwoswos elos karinginyuk liki mwe lokoalok. Mwe lokoalok inge ac tuku nu sin mwet koluk.
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 Kas lun sie mwet nikin God ku in kunauskomla, a lalmwetmet lun mwet suwoswos ku in molikomla.
With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
10 Siti nufon se enganak ke mwet suwoswos elos sun mwe insewowo nu selos, oayapa ac fah oasr sasa ke pacl mwet koluk elos misa.
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
11 Mwet suwoswos fin akinsewowoye sie siti na ac akfulatyeyuk, a kas lun mwet koluk uh kunauselik siti sac.
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 Ma lalfon se in sufan sie sin sie. Mwet etu uh elos mislana.
He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
13 Sie mwet lesrik tia ku in lulalfongiyuk, tuh kom ku in lulalfongi sie mwet oaru, in tia fahkelik ma lukma.
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14 Sie mutunfacl ac ikori fin wangin mwet in kol we. Mwet pwapa lalmwetmet pus ac oru in oasr misla.
Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15 Kom fin wulela in akfalye soemoul lun sie mwetsac, kom ac auli tok. Ac wo nu sum kom fin tia kapsre kom nu kac.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
16 Sie mutan oawe ac fah akfulatyeyuk, a mukul sulallal uh eis na mwe kasrup.
A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
17 Oasr ma lacne nu sum sifacna ke pacl kom orek kulang. Kom fin sulallal, kom akkolukye kom sifacna.
The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18 Ac wangin kapak pwaye lun mwet orekma koluk, tuh kom fin oru ma suwohs, kom ac fah eis mwe moul pwaye.
The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
19 Sie mwet su insianaung in oru ma suwohs fah moul, a mwet se su sulela na ku sel in oru koluk fah misa.
Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 LEUM GOD El srunga mwet koluk nunak la, a El lungse elos su oru ma suwohs.
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
21 Kom in etu na pwaye lah mwet koluk ac fah kalyeiyuk, a mwet suwoswos ac fah moliyukla.
My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
22 Sie mutan oasku su wangin etaten yoro, ac oana sie ring gold infwen soko pig.
As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
23 Ma mwet wo uh kena nu kac, pacl nukewa saflaiya uh ac wo. Pacl mwet koluk uh eis ma elos lungse, saflaiya uh kasrkusrak.
The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 Kutu mwet engan in sang ma lalos, a yokelikna kasrpalos. A kutu mwet uh arulana tawi ma lalos, a sukasrup lalos yokelikna.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
25 Kom in sang in yohk, na ac fah oasr kapkapak lom. Oru kasru lom nu sin mwet, na ac fah kasreyuk kom.
The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
26 Mwet uh selngawi mwet se su sruokya wheat lal in tupan nu ke pacl yokelik molo, a elos kaksakin mwet se su kukakunla ke sie moul fisrasr.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 Mwe finsrak lom fin wo, kom ac akfulatyeyuk, tuh kom fin suk lokoalok, na lokoalok uh ac fah sun kom.
He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
28 Mwet su lulalfongi mwe kasrup uh ac ikori, a mwet suwoswos ac fah kapak oana sra folfol finsroa.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
29 Kutena mwet su use mwe lokoalok nu fin sou lal, ac wangin ma yorol ke saflaiya. Mwet lalfon uh ac fah mwet orekma lun mwet lalmwetmet.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 Suwoswos ac fah ase moul, a sulallal ac fah eisla moul.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
31 Mwet suwohs elos eis mwe moul lalos fin faclu. Ouinge kom in etu lah mwet koluk nukewa ac fah kalyeiyuk.
Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
