Proverbs 18
1 He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment.
Agra'aku'ma nemanisia vahe'mo'a, agraguke agesa nentahie. Knare antahizama eri'nea vaheku'enena ana ne'mo'a avesiozmantegahie.
2 A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions.
Neginagi vahe'mo'a ama' antahintahima erizankura, musena osugosie. Hianagi agra'a antahi'zanke hu'netreno manigahie.
3 With a wicked man comes contempt as well, and shame is accompanied by disgrace.
Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, mago'a vahekura antahi amane'za neseno, zamagi'a eri haviza nehuno, zamagaze erinezamie.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo agipinti ke'mo'a, tiru kna hu'ne. Hianagi mika knare antahizamo'a, timo kerifinti aviteno herafiramino neviankna nehie.
5 Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.
Hazenkema huteno keagahu trate'ma otisigenka, hazenkema hu'nesia vahera aza osutfa huo. Hagi fatgo vahe'ma keagafima oti'nenigenka havigema huntenka azeri atre'zankura kva huo.
6 A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
Neginagi vahe'mofo kemo'a, hafra hu'za eri fore nehigeno, ana ke'zmimo'a kanonkevegu meme nehie.
7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
Neginagi vahe'mofo agi'mo'a, havi ke'agage nehanigeno, krifu agra'a avufare anaginente'ankna nehiakino, agrira azeri haviza hugahie.
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
Vahe agenkema hu'zamo'a, haga ne'zankna hu'neankino, ame huno vahe agu'afina ufregahie.
9 Whoever is slothful in his work is brother to him who destroys.
Zaferina omane feru vahe'mo'a, maka'zama eri havizama nehia vahe'mofo nefu manine.
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
Ra Anumzamofo agimo'a hanavenentake vihugna hu'neankino, fatgo vahe'mo'za agritega zamagare'za nevazageno, zamagu nevazie.
11 A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination.
Feno vahe'mofo fenomo'a ra kuma zmimofo vihugna hu'neakino, kegava hurantenkenta knare huta manigahune hu'za nentahize.
12 Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
Avufga ra hu'zamo'a, henka hazenkefi kavrentena manigahane. Hianagi knare hunka anteraminka mani'zamo'a, kazerisga huno knare kagi kamigahie.
13 He who answers a matter before he hears it— this is folly and disgrace to him.
Iza'o kema antahi anke ore'neno ke'nonama hanimo'a, agra neginagi avu'ava nehuno agaze zana agra'a erigahie.
14 The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?
Krima eri'nesimo'ma ana zankuma antahintahi hakarema osaniana, ana krifina amane manino vugahie. Hianagi vahe'mofo antahintahimoma havizama haniana, iza knarera huno manigahie?
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it out.
Maka'zama antahi ankere vahe'mo'a, knare antahintahima erinakura muse nehie. Knare vahe'mo'a agesazofo huteno nemanie.
16 A man’s gift opens doors for him, and brings him before great men.
Musezama eri'neno esimofona, kafana anagisigeno keagama hukuma hania rankva nera negesigeno, keaga humigahie.
17 The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
Keagafima otinesia ne'ma ese'ma keagama refkoma huno kesiana tamage hugahazanagi, anantema antahigesia ne'mo, hazenke'a keno erifore hugahie.
18 Casting the lot ends quarrels and separates strong opponents.
Taisi zokagoma re'zamo ha' frama hu'zana eri fru nehuno, hanave netremoke'ma ha'ma hu'zana zanazeri netane.
19 An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle.
Kagrama negafu'ma arimpama azeri havizama hu'nenana ne'ma avare'zamo'a, rankumamofo hanavenentake vihu hunteankna huno negafu'ma avare'zamo'a amuho hu'ne. Ha' frama hu'zamo'a, rone ka'a hanavenentake kafa erigino rentroko huno, refko hiankna hugahie.
20 From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
Knare kema kagipintima atiramisuno'a, knare ne'zama nankeno kamuma hiankna huno kaza hugahie. Fatgo kema hanana kemo'a, kazeri knare hugahie.
21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Kekamo'a vahera zamazeri so'e nehuno, zamazeri havizana hugahie. Hagi kema huzantema avesima nentesimo'a, ana ke'amoma rentesia raga'a agra'a erigahie.
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
Iza'o a'ma hakreno erinesimo'a, knare'za hakreno eri'neankino, Ra Anumzamo'a avesinente.
23 The poor man pleads for mercy, but the rich man answers harshly.
Amunte omane vahe'mo'a, asumaraginteno azama hanigu meme nehianagi, feno vahe'mo'a, hanave kefinti kenona nehie.
24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
Rama'a ronekamo'a kazeri haviza hugahianagi, tamage ronekamo'a negafuma nehiaza huno tava'onkare manigahie.
