Proverbs 28
1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.
Mwet koluk uh kaing finne wangin mwet ukwalos, a sie mwet suwoswos el pulaik oana soko lion.
2 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right — it 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 man — poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
Sie mwet leum su akkeokye mwet sukasrup, ac oana af matol ma kunausla fokin ima uh.
4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.
Kom fin pilesru ma sap, kom akkeye layen lun mwet koluk; a kom fin akos, na kom lain mwet koluk.
5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.
Mwet koluk tia etu lah mea suwohs ac nununku suwohs, a elos su suk ma lungse lun LEUM GOD elos kalem kac.
6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
Wo in sukasrup ac suwohs, liki na in kasrup ac sesuwos.
7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.
Sie mwet fusr su akos ma sap el lalmwetmet. El su asruoki nu sin mwet pukafukwel, el akmwekinye papa tumal.
8 Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring 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 Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination.
Kom fin tia akos ma sap uh, God El ac fah arulana srunga in lohng pre lom.
10 Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do 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 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him.
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 the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
Ke pacl sie mwet wo el kol, na mwet nukewa elos engan, a ke mwet koluk uh kol, mwet uh ac wikelik.
13 Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.
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 O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil.
Insewowo mwet se su sensenkakunul liki ma koluk. Kom fin likkeke, kom ac musalla.
15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked 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 lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions, Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth 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 the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him.
Sie mwet su oasr mwata ke akmas el sifacna pikin lufin misa kial. Nimet srike in ikolol.
18 Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once.
Oru ma suwohs ac pwaye, ac kom ac fah muta in misla. Kom fin oru ma sesuwos, kom ac sa na ikori.
19 Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled [with] poverty.
Sie mwet ima alken ac fah oasr sunun mwe mongo yorol, a sie mwet sisi pacl el ac sukasrup pacl nukewa.
20 A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.
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 discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread doth a man transgress.
Tia wo in wiwimwet. Tusruktu kutu mwet nununku uh elos oru ma sesuwos tuh elos in eis molin eyeinse na srisrik.
22 Troubled for wealth [is] the man [with] an evil eye, And he knoweth not that want doth meet him.
Mwet srowohsr elos arulana sulaklak in kasrupi, oru elos tia akilen lah elos ac sa na sukasrupla.
23 Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
Sang kas in aksuwos nu sin sie mwet, ac tok el fah insewowo sum liki na ke kom aklukukyal.
24 Whoso is robbing his father, or his mother, And is saying, 'It is not transgression,' A companion he is to a destroyer.
Sie mwet su kiapu papa ac nina kial, ac pangon mu tia koluk, el oana mwet pisrapasr na pwaye.
25 Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat.
Rapku pwanak lokoalok pacl nukewa. Ac wo nu sum kom in filiya lulalfongi lom in LEUM GOD.
26 Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is walking in wisdom is 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 Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
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 In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their destruction the righteous multiply!
Ke pacl mwet koluk tuyak in kol, mwet uh ac wikelik. Na ke pacl elos tila kol, mwet suwoswos puspis ac sifil folokeni.
