Proverbs 28
1 The lawless, fleeth when no man pursueth, but, the righteous, like a lion, are confident.
Mwet koluk uh kaing finne wangin mwet ukwalos, a sie mwet suwoswos el pulaik oana soko lion.
2 For the transgressions of a land, many are the rulers thereof, but, under an intelligent and discerning man, stability is prolonged.
Sie mutunfacl fah arulana ku ac oan paht mwet kol we uh fin mwet etauk ac lalmwetmet. A sie mutunfacl fin oru ma koluk, ac fah fusus ayaol lun mwet leum we.
3 A poor man, who oppresseth the helpless, [is like] a rain beating down, leaving no food.
Sie mwet leum su akkeokye mwet sukasrup, ac oana af matol ma kunausla fokin ima uh.
4 They who forsake instruction, praise one who is lawless, while, they who keep instruction, are at strife with them.
Kom fin pilesru ma sap, kom akkeye layen lun mwet koluk; a kom fin akos, na kom lain mwet koluk.
5 Wicked men, consider not justice, but, they who seek Yahweh, consider everything.
Mwet koluk tia etu lah mea suwohs ac nununku suwohs, a elos su suk ma lungse lun LEUM GOD elos kalem kac.
6 Better a poor man walking in his integrity, than one who is crooked—turning two ways, though, he, be rich.
Wo in sukasrup ac suwohs, liki na in kasrup ac sesuwos.
7 He that keepeth instruction, is a son with discernment, but, a companion of squanderers, bringeth shame to his father.
Sie mwet fusr su akos ma sap el lalmwetmet. El su asruoki nu sin mwet pukafukwel, el akmwekinye papa tumal.
8 He that increaseth his substance by interest and profit, for one ready to favour the poor, doth gather it.
Kom fin akkasrupye kom sifacna ke ma laesla yohk ma kom eisla sin mwet, na mwe kasrup lom an ac fah ma lun mwet su kulang nu sin mwet sukasrup.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing instruction, even his prayer, is an abomination.
Kom fin tia akos ma sap uh, God El ac fah arulana srunga in lohng pre lom.
10 He that misguideth the upright into a hurtful way! into his own pit, he himself, shall fall, but, men of integrity, shall inherit good.
Kom fin kiapwela sie mwet suwoswos in oru ma koluk, kom ac fah putatyang nu in mwe kwasrip lom sifacna. Mwet wangin mwata ac fah oasr ma lacna nu sel.
11 Wise in his own eyes, is the man that is rich, but, a poor man of discernment, searcheth him out.
Mwet kasrup uh sifacna nunku mu elos lalmwetmet, a sie mwet sukasrup su oasr etauk yoro el akilen lah elos tiana lalmwetmet.
12 In the exulting of the righteous, there is great glorying, but, when the lawless arise, a man must be sought for.
Ke pacl sie mwet wo el kol, na mwet nukewa elos engan, a ke mwet koluk uh kol, mwet uh ac wikelik.
13 He that covereth his transgressions, shall not prosper, but, he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find compassion.
Kom fin okanla ma koluk lom, kom tia ku in kapkapak. Kom fin fahkak ma koluk lom ac forla liki, na God El ac fah pakoten nu sum.
14 How happy the man who is ever circumspect, whereas, he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into calamity.
Insewowo mwet se su sensenkakunul liki ma koluk. Kom fin likkeke, kom ac musalla.
15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, is a lawless ruler, over a poor people.
Sie mwet leum koluk el mwe sensen nu sin mwet sukasrup, oana soko lion ngutngut, ku soko bear ma forfor in sukok ma elan kang.
16 A leader, may lack intelligence, yet abound in oppressions, The hater of greed, shall lengthen out days.
Sie leum su wangin etauk yoro fah arulana akupaye kemkatu lun mwet lal. A el su srunga eis ma laesla ke inkanek kutasrik ac fah leum paht.
17 A man oppressed with a person’s blood, unto a pit, shall flee, let them not hold him back.
Sie mwet su oasr mwata ke akmas el sifacna pikin lufin misa kial. Nimet srike in ikolol.
18 He that walketh with integrity, shall be saved, but, he that is crooked, turning two ways, shall fall in one.
Oru ma suwohs ac pwaye, ac kom ac fah muta in misla. Kom fin oru ma sesuwos, kom ac sa na ikori.
19 He that tilleth his ground, shall have plenty of bread, but, he that pursueth empty-heads, shall have plenty of poverty.
Sie mwet ima alken ac fah oasr sunun mwe mongo yorol, a sie mwet sisi pacl el ac sukasrup pacl nukewa.
20 A man of fidelity, aboundeth in blessings, but, one hasting to be rich, shall not be held innocent.
Mwet su moul suwohs ac fah insewowo in moul lalos. Tusruktu kom fin sulaklak in suk mwe kasrup, kom ac fah sun kai.
21 To take note of faces [in judgment], is not good, and, for a bit of bread, a man will transgress.
Tia wo in wiwimwet. Tusruktu kutu mwet nununku uh elos oru ma sesuwos tuh elos in eis molin eyeinse na srisrik.
22 A man, hasting to be rich, hath an evil eye, and knoweth not when want may overtake him.
Mwet srowohsr elos arulana sulaklak in kasrupi, oru elos tia akilen lah elos ac sa na sukasrupla.
23 He that reproveth a man, shall, afterwards, find more, favour, than he that useth a flattering tongue.
Sang kas in aksuwos nu sin sie mwet, ac tok el fah insewowo sum liki na ke kom aklukukyal.
24 He that robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, companion, is he to one who wasteth.
Sie mwet su kiapu papa ac nina kial, ac pangon mu tia koluk, el oana mwet pisrapasr na pwaye.
25 The ambitious in soul, stirreth up strife, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be enriched.
Rapku pwanak lokoalok pacl nukewa. Ac wo nu sum kom in filiya lulalfongi lom in LEUM GOD.
26 He that trusteth his own heart, the same, is a dullard, but, he that walketh wisely, the same, shall be delivered.
Ma lalfon se kom fin lulalfongi nunak lom sifacna. Kom in fahsr tukun kas in luti lun mwet lalmwetmet na kom ac fah moul misla.
27 One who giveth to the poor, shall have no want, but, he that hideth his eyes, shall receive many a curse.
Sang kasru nu sin mwet sukasrup ac kom ac fah tiana kwacola. Kom fin kaliya motom liki mwet enenu, mwet puspis ac fah selngawi kom.
28 When lawless men rise, a common man will hide himself, but, when they perish, righteous men multiply.
Ke pacl mwet koluk tuyak in kol, mwet uh ac wikelik. Na ke pacl elos tila kol, mwet suwoswos puspis ac sifil folokeni.
