Proverbs 27
1 Don't boast about what you're going to do tomorrow, because you don't know what the day may bring.
Nimet konkin ke ma kom ako in oru lutu, mweyen kom tia etu lah mea ac sikyak ingela.
2 Let others praise you, not you yourself; someone else, not you personally.
Lela mwet ngia in kaksakin kom — finne sie mwet kom tia etu. Nimet sifacna kaksakin kom.
3 Stone may be heavy, and sand may weigh a lot, but the annoyance caused by stupid people is the biggest burden of all.
Toasr lun eot ac puk uh tia ku in lumweyuk nu ke toasr lun mwe lokoalok ma sie mwet lalfon el sripauk.
4 Fury may be fierce and cruel, anger may be a destructive flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
Kasrkusrak el sulallal ac orala ongoiya lulap, tusruktu tia apkuran nu ke lemta!
5 Open criticism is better than hidden love.
Wo in aksuwosye sie mwet lemtulauk, liki na in fuhlela elan nunku mu wangin nunak lom kacl.
6 A friend's honest comments may hurt you, but an enemy's kisses are over the top.
Sie mwet kawuk el nunak pwaye nu sum el finne kai kom, a kom in taran sie mwet lokoalok su akukula nu sum.
7 If you're full up, you can't face honey; but if you're starving, even bitter food tastes sweet.
Pacl se kom kihpi uh kom ac srunga kang honey, tusruktu pacl kom masrinsral, finne mongo mukol ac emwem sum.
8 Having to leave home is like a bird having to leave its nest.
Sie mwet su muta loes liki acn sel oana sie won ma som loes liki ahng lal.
9 Perfume and scented oils make you feel happy, but good advice from a friend is even better.
Ono keng ac mwe akmusra keng uh mwe akinsewowoye kom, a mwe lokoalok uh kunausla inse misla lom.
10 Don't give up on your friends or your family's friends. Don't go to a relative's house when you've got trouble. A friend nearby is more useful than a relative far away.
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 My son, make me happy by being wise, so I can respond to anyone who criticizes me.
Tulik nutik, kom in lalmwetmet ac nga fah arulana engan; nga fah ku in topuk mwet nukewa su akkolukyeyu.
12 If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and suffer the consequences.
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 If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to an immoral woman!
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 If when you get up every morning you shout a loud hello to your neighbors, they will see that as a curse!
Kom fin sala okasak mwet kawuk lom ke sie pusra lulap ke lututang, ac fah oana kom in filiya sie selnga nu facl.
15 An argumentative wife is as irritating as constant dripping on a rainy day.
Sie mutan payuk su lungsena torkaskas, el oana pusren tultul in kof ke len af uh.
16 Trying to stop her is like trying to make the wind stop or trying to hold olive oil in your hand.
Kom ac oru fuka elan misla? Ya nu oasr pacl kom srike in tulokinya eng uh, ku sruokya mwe akmusra luin poum?
17 An iron blade is sharpened with an iron tool, and one person's mind is sharpened by another's.
Mwet uh alutluti sie sin sie, oana ke osra uh ac sang tamla osra.
18 Those who care for a fig tree eat its fruit, and those who care for their master are rewarded.
Kom fin karingin soko sak fig, kom ac fah kang fahko kac. Sie mwet kulansap su karingin mwet kacto lal, fah akfulatyeyuk.
19 Just as water reflects your face, your mind reflects who you really are.
Ngunin motom sifacna pa kom liye in kof uh, ac insiom pa fahkak ouiyom sifacna.
20 In the same way that the grave and destruction are never satisfied, human desire is never satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
Kena lun mwet uh tia ku in safla — oana ke facl lun mwet misa tia ku in nwanala. (Sheol h7585)
21 Just as a crucible tests silver, and a furnace tests gold, people are tested by the praise they receive.
E uh pa likliki gold ac silver; ac elahn sie mwet kalem ke kaksak lun mwet uh.
22 Even if you ground stupid people in a mortar, crushing them like grain with the pestle, you can't get rid of stupidity from them.
Kom finne sringil sie mwet lalfon nwe ke el apkuran in misa, kom tia ku in sisla lalfon lal.
23 You should know the condition of your flocks really well and take good care of your herds,
Karinganang sheep ac nani nutum akwoya,
24 for wealth doesn't last forever—is a crown passed down through all generations?
mweyen mwe kasrup uh sukawil. Finne mutunfacl lulap uh, ac tia oan nwe tok.
25 Once the hay is cut, and the new growth begins, and fodder from the mountains is gathered,
Pakela mah nun sheep ac nani uh, ac ke kom soano in sifil srunak, kom ku in eisani mah pe eol uh.
26 and the lambs have provided you wool to make clothing, and the sale of goats have paid for a field,
Kom ku in orala nuknuk ke unen sheep nutum, ac moul acn ke mani kom sruokya ke nani ma kom kukakunla.
27 there'll be enough milk from your goats to feed you, your family, and your servant girls.
Na kom, ac sou lom wi mutan kulansap lom, fah ku in nim milk ke nani lula uh.
