< Proverbs 25 >

1 These are additional proverbs of Solomon, which were copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:
Ama'i Solomoni knare antahi'zamofo naneke, Juda vahe kini ne' Hezekia eriza vahe'mo'za eri'za krente'naza naneke.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out.
Ra Anumzamo'a rama'a zama antahizama'afi erifrakinegu, ra agi nemune. Hagi kinimo'a anama fraki'nea zama hakeno erifore nehigeta, agrira ra agi'a amita husga nehune.
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings cannot be searched.
Monamo onagamu me'geno, mopamo'a ufenkamu megeta antahita keta nosunankino, e'inahukna kante kini vahe'mokizmi antahintahizmia tagra antahita keta osugahune.
4 Remove the dross from the silver, and a vessel for a silversmith will come forth.
Silvama kre'za eri avusese hazageno, knare'ma hige'za anantetira zago'amo mareri zantamina tro nehaze.
5 Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
Kefo avu'ava'ma hanaza vahe'ma kini ne'mofo kumapinti'ma zamahenati atresazana, agrama kegavama hu'nea kuma'mo'a, hanavetino fatgo huno megahie.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;
Kini ne' avure'ma emanisunka, nagra ra vahe'mani'noe hunka kavufga ra nosunka, zamagine vahe'mokizmi tratera eomanio.
7 for it is better that he says to you, “Come up here!” than that you should be demoted in the presence of the prince. Even what you have seen with your own eyes,
Akoheno mani'nenkeno kema huno avrenagamute zamo knarera hu'neanki, agine vahe'mofo avufima hugantesigenka anama mani'nenana tra'ma atrenka urami zamo'a kagaze hugahianki, antahinka kenka huntenka fatgoza huo.
8 do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?
Ame hunka naneke hu tratera magomofona avrentenka kehara huonto. Na'ankure tava'onkare'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za, ana nanekeka'ama eriama hu'za kazeri kagazema hanazana, atuparega na'a kagra hugahane?
9 Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence,
Kagrama tava'onkare'ma nemanisimo'enema ke ha'ma nehanunka, mago'mofo oku'a avu'ava'amofo nanekea hu amara osuo.
10 lest the one who hears may disgrace you, and your infamy never go away.
Henka'ama vahe'mo'za antahisu'za, fraki'za hazankea kagra franokine huge, kazeri kagaze nehu'za mika zupa antahi haviza hugante vava hugahaze.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Hagi vahe'mo'ma knare antahi'zama kna fatgo'are'ma hu'ama'ma hanigeno'a, ana ke'mo'a golire tro hunte'naza epoli zafa ragamo silva zuompafi meankna hu'ne.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
Knare antahi'zanteti'ma azeri fatgoma nehanigeno agesa anteno antahisimo'a, golire tro hunte'naza avasaseza agesafi anteankna hu'ne.
13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.
Kema erino esia ne'mo'ma, ome huo huno huntesigeno esia kema eme fatgo huno anankema hu ne'mo'a, hozafinti neza hamare knare ata ko'mo rufru hiankna nehigeno, kva'amofo agu'amo'a fru nehie.
14 Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
Mago vaheku'ma museza kamigahue huno'ma avufga ra hu kazigati huvempa hunteteno, anazama omisia vahe'mo'a, ko aruku zaho e'nerino hampo ko atuno hanintiri huteno, kora oriankna nehie.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
Hagi ame hunka krimpama ohe'zamo'a, kva vahera rimpa azerifru hunka, kagrarega avrentegahane. Ante fru hunka hukemo'a, ha' frama hu'zana mika azeri agateregahane.
16 If you find honey, eat just what you need, lest you have too much and vomit it up.
Tume'mofo tima'amo'a haga hu'neanki, nenenunka avamente no, rama'a nesanana amu'atigahane.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he grow weary and hate you.
Tava'onkare'ma nemanisimofo nontera hakare zupa vuvava osuo, anama hanankeno'a musema huno'ma negavreanknara osugosianki, avesra hugantegahie.
18 Like a club or sword or sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
Tava'onkarema nemanisimofoma havigema huntenka, agenkema hanana zamo'a, kumpa knonu aheankna nehunka, kazinteti avufgama akafriankna nehunka, keve aheankna hugahane.
19 Like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.
Kagrama kaza osuga vahe'ma antahinemisankeno havi knama esigeno'a, naza hugahiema hananana, ave'neneno ata negrifi ne'zama neankna nehunka, agamo haviza hu'nea ne'mo revazamu revazamu huno viankna hugahane.
20 Like one who removes a garment on a cold day or vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
Vahe'mo'ma asunku zampima mani'nenigenka muse zagamema hananana, ana asunku zampi mani'nea vahe'mofona, zasi knafi nakreku'a zafi atreankna nehunka, aka tinu avufga taga hu'nefi tagi atreankna hugahane.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
Ha' vahekamofoma aga'zanku'ma nehanigenka ne'zama nesia zana neminka, tinku'ma avenesinigenka tina amigeno neno.
22 For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
E'inahu'ma hanankeno'a, teve tankanuza asenifi hampagenteankna hanankeno, agra'a havi avu'ava zama'agura agaze nehanigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a mizana kamigahie.
23 As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
Vahe'ma amefiga ke'ma hu kemo'a, noti (north) kazigati zaho'mo ko atufeno eankna huno, ana vahe'mofontera arimpa ahe'za erino esigeno, avugosamo'a zahe hugahie.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
Fegi'a anaga nomote kagraku manizamo'a, nogu'afima kehakarema nehia a'enema manizana agaterene.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
Afete kumateti knare'zamofo agenkema egeno antahizamo'a, tinku avesinere zasi ti amigeno neankna nehie.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
Fatgo ne'mo'ma kefo avu'ava ene ne'ma, avaririno kefo avu'ava'ma ome haniana, knare tinkerifi agamunke timo ufreno eri haviza hiankna hugahie.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey or to search out one’s own glory.
Vahe'mo'ma ra'ma'a tumerima ne'zamo'a, knarera osu'ne. Vahe'mo'ma agra'a ra agima eri'zanku'ma mraguzamati'zamo'a, knarera osu'ne.
28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.
Iza'o, rimpa aka he'zama azeri aravama ohesiana, mago ra kuma'mofo have keginamo fragu vaziramiankna hugahie.
