< Proverbs 5 >

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom; to my understanding incline thou thy ear:
Wen nutik, lohng kas in lalmwetmet luk ac porongo etauk luk.
2 That thou mayest observe discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Na ouiyen moul lom ac fah suwohs, ac kas lom ac fahkak lah oasr etu lom.
3 For as of fine honey drop the lips of an adulterous woman, and smoother than oil is her palate;
Ngoasron mutan kien siena mukul ac ku in emwem oana honey, ac oalul fwel oana oil in olive,
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, it is sharp as a two-edged sword.
tusruktu ke safla pwar nukewa, mwe keok mukena pa ac tuku kac.
5 Her feet go down to death, her steps take firm hold on the nether world: (Sheol h7585)
Mutan sac ac kolkomla nu in facl in misa. Inkanek ma el fahsr kac pa inkanek nu ke misa. (Sheol h7585)
6 So that she cannot balance the path of life; her tracks are unsteady, and she knoweth it not.
El kuhfla ac alfokfokla liki inkanek in moul, ac el tia akilen acn el fahsr we.
7 And now, O ye children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the sayings of my mouth.
Lohngyu inge, wen nutik uh, ac tia mulkunla ma nga fahk nu suwos.
8 Remove far from her thy way, and come not nigh to the door of her house;
Fahsr liki mutan ouinge uh! Nimet kalukyang nu ke mutunoa sel.
9 That thou mayest not give up unto others thy vigor, and thy years unto the cruel;
Kom fin oru, na sunak ma tuh orek nu sum meet ac fah orek nu sin kutu na mwet, na kom ac fah fusr na misa inpoun mwet wangin pakomuta yoro.
10 That strangers may not satisfy themselves with thy strength, and with thy exertions, in the house of an alien:
Aok, mwetsac uh ac eisla mwe kasrup lom nukewa, ac ma kom kemkatu nu kac ac fah ma lun siena mwet.
11 While thou moanest at thy end, when thy flesh and thy body are coming to their end,
Kom ac fah oan sasao fin mwe oan kiom. Ikom ac monum ac fah mongola,
12 And thou sayest, How have I hated correction, and how hath my heart rejected reproof;
ac kom fah fahk, “Efu ku nga koflana etala? Efu ku nga tuh srunga mwet in lutiyu?
13 While I hearkened not to the voice of my instructors, and to my teachers I inclined not my ear;
Nga tuh tiana lohang nu sin mwet luti luk nukewa, ac tiana porongalos.
14 But little more was wanting, and I had been in all [kinds of] unhappiness in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Ac inge nga akilenak lah akmwekinyeyuk nga sin mwet nukewa.”
15 Drink water out of thy own cistern, and running waters out of thy own well.
Kom in pwaye nu sin mutan kiom sifacna, ac sang lungse lom nu sel mukena.
16 So will thy springs overflow abroad; and in the open streets will be thy rivulets of water;
Tulik ma kom osweang nu sin kutena mutan saya uh, ac wangin sripa nu sum.
17 They will be thy own only, and not those of strangers with thee.
Lela tulik nutum uh in kapak ac kasrekom, a in tia muta kasru mwet saya.
18 Thy fountain will be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth, —
Ke ma inge kom in engan sin mutan kiom, aok mutan fusr se na ma kom tuh payukyak se ah,
19 The lovely gazelle and the graceful chamois: let her bosom satisfy thee abundantly at all times; with her love be thou ravished continually.
su tuh kato ac wo lumah oana soko deer mutan. Lela oaskuiyal in mwe akenganye kom. Lela elan kafiskomi ke lungse lal.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of an alien woman?
Wen nutik, efu ku kom in sang lungse lom nu sin siena mutan? Efu kom kaukya iniwen mutan kien siena mukul?
21 For before the eyes of the Lord are the ways of man, and all his tracks doth he weigh in the balance.
LEUM GOD El liye ma nukewa kom oru. Acn nukewa kom fahsr nu we, El liye kom.
22 His own iniquities will truly catch the wicked, and with the cords of his sin will he be held firmly.
Orekma koluk lun sie mwet koluk oana sie mwe kwasrip. El ac sremla ke sie nwek ke koluk lal sifacna.
23 He will indeed die for want of correction; and through the abundance of his folly will he sink into error.
El misa ke sripen el tia sifacna liyaung orekma lal. Lalfon lal pa kololla nu in kulyuk lal uh.
