Soakas 31
1 Kas inge kas oa nu sel Tokosra Lemuel sin nina kial:
Words of Lemuel, a king, a declaration that his mother taught him:
2 “Kom wen kulo nutik, topken pre luk. Mea fal ngan fahk nu sum?
“What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?
3 Nimet kom sisla kuiyom ke inkanek in kosro, ac mani lom ke mutan; ma inge kunausla tari tokosra puspis.
Do not give your strength to women, And your ways to wiping away of kings.
4 Lemuel, porongeyu. Tokosra uh tia enenu in nim wain, ku oasroasr ke mwe nim ku.
[It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, Not for kings, to drink wine, And for princes—a desire of strong drink.
5 Ke pacl elos nimnim uh, elos mulkunla ma sap, ac pilesrala enenu lun mwet ongoiya.
Lest he drink, and forget the decree, And change the judgment of any of the sons of affliction.
6 Mwe nim ku uh ma na nu sin mwet ma apkuran in misa, ku elos su keoklana.
Give strong drink to the perishing, And wine to the bitter in soul,
7 Lela elos in nim mwe sruhi elos in mulkunla sukasrup lalos ac supwar lalos.
He drinks, and forgets his poverty, And he does not remember his misery again.
8 “Kom in sramsram in aol mwet su tia ku in sifacna fahkak enenu lalos. Karingin suwohs lalos nukewa su mukaimtal ac kofla in sifacna.
Open your mouth for the mute, For the right of all sons of change.
9 Aolulos sramsram, ac oru kom in sie mwet nununku suwohs. Karingin suwohs lalos su sukasrup ac kwaco.”
Open your mouth, judge righteously, Both the cause of the poor and needy!”
