Proverbs 22
1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold.
Vahe'mo'ma knare kagi'ma kami'zamo'a, rama'a fenoma ante'zana agatere'ne. Hagi vahe'mo'ma kagri'ma kavesigante zamo'a, goline silvanena agatere'ne.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is Maker of them all.
Feno vahe'ene amunte omane vahe'enena, Ra Anumzamo ana tarega vahera tro huzanantege'ne mani'na'e.
3 The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences.
Antahi ankere antahi'zane vahe'mo'a, hazenke zama ne-esigeno'a negeno maniganesigeno agateregahianagi, knare antahizama omane vahe'mo'a, hazenkema fore'ma nehanigeno'a, negeno vuno ana hazenkezana erino knazampina manigahie.
4 The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD are wealth and honor and life.
Agra'a avufga anteramino nemanino, Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunteno, agorga'ama mani'zamo'a, rama'a fenoza nentesankeno kagia husga nehanagenka, za'za kna manigahane.
5 Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them.
Akrahe krahe avu'ava ene vahe'ma nevaza kampina, ave'ave zane vahe'ma azeri kukone me'ne. Hianagi iza'o agra'ama kegavama himo'a afete nemanie.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Mofavreka'a knare kante'ma vu'za rempi humigeno knare kante nevuno, rama hanuno'a, ana avu'avara atreno rukrehe osino.
7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
Feno vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahera, kegava hunezamantaze. Hagi zagoma nofi'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zago'ama nofi'ma haza ne'mofo kazokazo eri'za vahe nemanize.
8 He who sows injustice will reap disaster, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
Kefozama krinenimo'a, henka ne'zama'a hazenke'za kafigahie. Hagi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia himamu'amo'a, vagaregahie.
9 A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
Iza'o zamunte'ma omane naga'ma muse zampinti'ma ne'zama zamisia vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huzamantegahie.
10 Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.
Kehu haviza hu vahera zamahe anati atrenkeno, vahe'ma huhavizama hu'zane, ha'ma hu'zane, fragema hu'zana vagareno.
11 He who loves a pure heart and gracious lips will have the king for a friend.
Agu'amo'ma agru nehanigeno, fru kema huzanku avenesisimo'a, kini ne'mofo rone'a manigahie.
12 The LORD’s eyes keep watch over knowledge, but He frustrates the words of the faithless.
Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama erizante avu'a anteno kegava nehianagi, hazenke vahe'mofo kea erinetre.
13 The slacker says, “There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!”
Feru vahe'mo'a amanage nehie, megi'a laioni mani'neankino, vanuana nahe frigahie huno nehie.
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.
Savri a'mofo agipinti'ma ne-ea kemo'a, muri kankna hu'ne, izano Ra Anumzamo'ma arimpa hentesimo'a, ana muri kampi tamigahie.
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Mofavremofo agu'afina negi'nagi avu'avazamo avitegahianagi, kanoma amino azeri fatgoma hu'zamo ana avu'ava zampintira azeri arukrahe hugahie.
16 Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty.
Fenozami mago'ane eri rama'a hunaku'ma zamunte omane vahe kna zamiza zamazeri haviza nehaza vahe'ene, feno vahe'ma musezama nezamiza vahe'mokizmia, zamuntera omanegahie.
17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise— apply your mind to my knowledge—
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo kere kagesa antenka antahise nehunka, nagrama rempima hugamisuaza huo.
18 for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.
Na'ankure anankemo'a knare hu'neankinka kagu'afi erintenankeno ana kemo'a, kagitera me'ne'na kea hutere hugahane.
19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.
Nagra menina rempi hunegamugu, nentahinka Ra Anumzamofonte kagranena kamentinti huo.
20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
Nagra 30'a knare kegaga krentegantenofina, kavumro kene, antahiza eri zamofo naneke kregaminoankinka,
21 to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?
ama ana kereti tamage kea rempi hunka antahinenka, iza'o tamage kegu'ma hugantenigenka e'nesamofona fatgo'are kenona ome asamigahane.
22 Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,
Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmi zana ohanareho, na'ankure zamagra zamunte omane vahe mani'naze. Hagi zamunte omanesige'zama atupama hu'nesaza vahera, keagarera zamavarenteta zamazeri havizana osiho.
23 for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a, zamunte omane vahera zamahokeno zamazeri havizama hanaza vahe'mokizmia, zamazeri haviza hugahie.
24 Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,
Arimpa hevava vahera rone huonto, ame huno rimpahe vahe'enena tagro oto,
25 or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
ru ana vahe zamavu'zamava enerisankeno, kukomo kazeriankna huno kagu'a kazeri haviza hugahie.
26 Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
Mago vahera huvempa hunka mago'za hugantegahue osuo. Hagi ru vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma hu'nesigenka, ana nofi'ma hu'nea zana nagra vakanentegahue hunka osuo.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
Anama nofi'ma hu'nesaza zama apa osesanke'za miko zanka'ane, tafe'ma masinkama nemasesana zanena eri vagaregahaze.
28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone which your fathers have placed.
Tamagehe'mo'za ko'ma re'nenaza kanagi kana, akasi kantutretma rumofo mopa eri havia osiho.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will be stationed in the presence of kings; he will not stand before obscure men.
Eri'zama eri antahi'zama eri'nea ne'mofo eri'zana negano? Agra kini vahe'mokizmi eri'za vahe nemanino, agi omane vahe'mofo eri'za vahera omanigahie.
