< Proverbs 16 >

1 The designs of the heart are man's, but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord.
Vahe'mota e'ina hu'za hugahune huta antahintahia retro hugahunanagi, Ra Anumzamoke ana antahintahima retro'ma hanuntera, huvagare kea huntegahie.
2 All a man's ways are clean to himself; but the Lord puts men's spirits into his scales.
Tagrama mika zama hu'nazamo'a knare hune huta tagesa antahigahunanagi, nanknahu tagutagesareti ana mika'zana nehune Ra Anumzamoke refako hugahie.
3 Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.
Mika'zama huku'ma hanana zana Ra Anumzamofo azampi antegeno, ana mika zama huku'ma antahintahima retro'ma hanana zamo'a, nena'a fore hugahie.
4 The Lord has made everything for his purpose, even the sinner for the day of evil.
Ra Anumzamo'a agafa'a me'negeno maka'zana trohu'ne. Hagi zamahe fananema hania kefo zamavu'zmava'ma nehaza vahe'enena, tro huzmante'ne.
5 Everyone who has pride in his heart is disgusting to the Lord: he will certainly not go free from punishment.
Ra Anumzamo'a zamavufga ra nehaza vahekura, avesra huzmanteno agotenezmante. Hagi zamavufara hanaza vahe'mo'za, knazampi manigahaze.
6 By mercy and good faith evil-doing is taken away: and by the fear of the Lord men are turned away from evil.
Tamage huta Ra Anumzamofo avesinteta mani fatgo huta manisunkeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a kumitia eritregahie. Ra Anumzamofonku'ma kore hunteta Agri agorga manisunazamo, kefo zampintira tazeri amane hugahie.
7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his haters be at peace with him.
Ra Anumzamo'ma musema nehia kante'ma tavutva'ma hanunkeno'a, ha' vahetimo'zanena zamarimpa fru hurantegahaze.
8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great wealth with wrongdoing.
Fatgo mani'zane mani'nenka osi'a fenoma ante'snamo'a, havi kampinti rama'a fenoma antesana zana agatere'ne.
9 A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.
Ana hugahune huta antahintahia retro hugahunanagi, Ra Anumzamo Agrake maka'zama hanuna kana erinte fatgo hugahie.
10 Decision is in the lips of the king: his mouth will not go wrong in judging.
Kini vahe'mo'za Anumzamo'ma e'ina hihoma huno zamia antahi'zanteti kea nehaze. Hagi vahe'ma refakoma hanu'za, fatgo hu'za vahera refako hiho.
11 True measures and scales are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
Fatgoma huno maka'zama refko hu'zana, Ra Anumzamofontegati ne-e. Hagi fatgoma huno maka'zama kna'amo'ma hu'nea avamente'ma refkoma huzanku ave'nesie.
12 Evil-doing is disgusting to kings: for the seat of the ruler is based on righteousness.
Kini vahe'mofona kefo avu'ava zankura agoteno, avesra nehie. Na'ankure kini tra'ma me'neana, fatgo avu'avamofo agofetu me'ne.
13 Lips of righteousness are the delight of kings; and he who says what is upright is dear to him.
Kini vahe'mo'za fatgo vahe'mofo kegu musena nehu'za, tamage keagama nehia vaheku zamavesinezamantaze.
14 The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.
Kini ne'mofo rimpa aka'zamo'a frigahane naneke me'ne. Hianagi knare antahi'zane ne'mo'a, kini ne'mofona rimpa azeri fru hugahie.
15 In the light of the king's face there is life; and his approval is like a cloud of spring rain.
Kini ne'mofo avugosamo'ma kiza avu'ava'ma haniana, kasimu erinka manigahane huno nehie. Ana avu'avamo'a, mona hampomo ko runo eramigeno, ne'zamo afureankna nehie.
16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.
Knare antahi'zama eri'zamo'a golia agateregeno, ama' antahi'zama avesinteno eri'zamo'a, silva agatere'neankino hentofaza hu'ne.
17 The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.
Fatgo vahe'mofo kamo'a, ranka me'nege'za, kefo avu'ava zamofona azeri agateregahaze. Iza'o kva hu'neno ana kama avaririmo'a, agra'a agu'nevazie.
18 Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.
Kavufga ra huzamo'a, kazeri haviza hugahie. Kagra kavufga husgama hu'zamo'a, kazeri tanafa kofa hugahie.
19 Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.
Akoheno anteramino amunte omane vahe'enema mani'zamo'a, avufga ra hu vahemo ha'pinti feno eri'neaza refko hu'zana agatere'ne.
20 He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.
Iza'o avumro antesaza kema avaririsimo'a, hakare'zama hanifina knare hugahie. Ra Anumzamofonte'ma amentintima hanimofona, asomu huntegahie.
21 The wise-hearted will be named men of good sense: and by pleasing words learning is increased.
Antahi ama'ma haza vaheku, ama' antahi'zane vahere hu'za hugahaze. Knare kema hania nanekemo, vahe'mofona avare agrarega atregahie.
22 Wisdom is a fountain of life to him who has it; but the punishment of the foolish is their foolish behaviour.
Ama' antahintahima eri'naza vahe'mofontera ana ama' antahi'zamo'a asimu ami kampu'i tinkna hu'ne. Hianagi neginagi avu'ava zamo'a, neginagi avu'ava'ma nehaza vahetera, nona'a knaza nezamie.
23 The heart of the wise man is the teacher of his mouth, and gives increased learning to his lips.
Ama' antahi'zane ne'mofo agu'amo azeri ante fatgo higeno, mago'ane vahe'ma agu'ama azeri rukrahe hu kea agipintira atineramie.
24 Pleasing words are like honey, sweet to the soul and new life to the bones.
So'e kema hu'zamo'a tumemofo rima'agna hu'neankino, vahe'mofo agu'amemofontera haga higeno, zaferinamofona azeri so'e nehie.
25 There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.
Mago'a vahe'mo'za knare kante nevune nahazanagi, anama nevaza kamofo atuparega fri'za me'ne.
26 The desire of the working man is working for him, for his need of food is driving him on.
Eri'zama e'neri'za vahe'mo'za antahi'naze, eri'zama zamu'nasisi hu'za e'orisanu'za ne'zana onegahazanki'za zamagamate'zamo hige'za, eri'zana e'nerize.
27 A good-for-nothing man is a designer of evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.
Kefo vahe'mo'za kefozama eri fore huzanku nehakraze. Ke'zmimo'a afe tevemo te'osa hiankna huno, vahe'mokizmia zamazeri haviza nehie.
28 A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere: and he who says evil secretly makes trouble between friends.
Akrehe akrehe zamageru'ene vahe'mo'za, vahe'mokizmi amu'nompina kea erintage'za ha' fra nehaze. Vahe'mofo amefi agenke'ma huzamo knare arone'a, azeri netane.
29 A violent man puts desire of evil into his neighbour's mind, and makes him go in a way which is not good.
Haframahu ne'mo'a, tava'oma'are'ma nemanimofona revatga huno avreno havi kante nevie.
30 He whose eyes are shut is a man of twisted purposes, and he who keeps his lips shut tight makes evil come about.
Iza'o avuma mago ne' resuki nemimo'a, akrehe akrehe avu'avaza nehie. Hagi iza'o agi'ma haninkofisigenka, hazenke avu'ava nehie hunka antahigahane.
31 The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.
Fatgo avu'ava zama hu'zama nevaza vahe'mokizmia tu zamazokamo'a, kini fetori anunte antanintea kna nehige'za, ra agi nezamize.
32 He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.
Ame huno arimpa'gnama osu vahe'mo'a himamu vahera agateregeno, iza'o rimpa he'zama azerirava nehimo'a, tusi'a kuma'ma ha'ma huno eri'nemofona agatenere.
33 A thing may be put to the decision of chance, but it comes about through the Lord.
Mago'azama hunakura satu zokago renka antahiama hugahue hnananagi Ra Anumzamoke hu izora hutenkeno, anazamo'a eforera hugahie.
