< Proverbs 15 >
1 Anger slays even wise men; yet a submissive answer turns away wrath: but a grievous word stirs up anger.
Akohenka antefru hunka kenona hanana zamo, rimpa akahe'zana eri'amane hugahie. Hianagi hakrugema hanana zamo'a, rimpahe'zana azeri otigahie.
2 The tongue of the wise knows what is good: but the mouth of the foolish tells out evil things.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo agipintira, knare antahi'za e'nige'za vahe'mo'za antahi muse hugahaze. Hianagi neginagi vahe'mofo agipintira, neginagi kemo akaha huneramie.
3 The eyes of the Lord behold both the evil and the good in every place.
Ra Anumzamo'a mika kaziga kefo vahete'ene, knare vahetera avua keteno nemanie.
4 The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, and he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding.
Fru kema hu'zamo'a vahe'mofo asimu ami zafagna hu'ne. Hianagi akrehe akrehe kema hu'zamo'a, vahe'mofo agu'a ahenefri.
5 A fool scorns his father's instruction; but he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: but the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.
Neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a nefa'ma azeri fatgo hiankea nontahie. Hianagi iza'o azeri fatgoma hiankema antahimo'a, knare antahi'za e'nerie.
6 In the houses of the righteous is much strength: but the fruits of the ungodly shall perish.
Fatgo vahe'mokizmia nozamifina, fenozamo avinete. Hianagi kefo vahe'mo'za erisaza mizana, hazenke'za erigahaze.
7 The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: but the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za, antahi'zana vahera nezamize. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'za, anahura osugahaze.
8 The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable with him.
Kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama, Ra Anumzamofonte'ma Kresramanama vunentaza zankura, agonete. Hianagi fatgo vahe'mo'zama haza nunamunku, Agra muse nehie.
9 The ways of an ungodly [man] are an abomination to the Lord; but he loves those that follow after righteousness.
Kefo vahe'mo'ma hia avu'ava zankura, Ra Anumzamo'a agotenente. Hianagi fatgo avu'ava'ma huzanku'ma kazigazima hia vahe'mofona, Ra Anumzamo'a avesinente.
10 The instruction of the simple is known by them that pass by; but they that hate reproofs die disgracefully.
Fatgo kamofoma amefi humisimo'a, tusi'a hazenke erigahie. Iza'o azeri fatgohu kemofoma avesrama huntesimo'a, frigahie.
11 Hell and destruction are manifest to the Lord; how shall not also be the hearts of men? (Sheol )
Fri' vahe'mofo kuma'mo'ene fri'zamo'a, Ra Anumzamofo avurera amate me'neankino, tagutumotia keno antahino hu'ne! (Sheol )
12 An uninstructed person will not love those that reprove him; neither will he associate with the wise.
Veganokno kema hu vahe'mo'za, azeri fatgoma hanimofona avesra hunenteno, ama' antahi'zane vahe'mofontera aza hinogura urava'o osugahie.
13 When the heart rejoices the countenance is cheerful; but when it is in sorrow, [the countenance] is sad.
Krimpamo'ma musema hu'nesigeno'a, kavu'gosafintira knare huno kizanki'za hugahie. Hianagi karimpamo'ma musema osu'nesigeno'a, kavugosamo'a rugaririgahie.
14 An upright heart seeks discretion; but the mouth of the uninstructed will experience evils.
Ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'za antahi'zama eri'zankura zamaganete. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mofona havi kemo'a, ne'zama'agna hugahie.
15 The eyes of the wicked are always looking for evil things; but the good are always quiet.
Zamunte omane vahe'mo'za mika zupa maniza'zmifina tusi'a amuho nehu'za maragu'zanetize. Hianagi muse arimpane manisimo'a, ne'zane tine neneno muse huvava hugahie.
16 Better is a small portion with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without the fear [of the Lord].
Osi'a fenoma anteneta Ra Anumzamofonku'ma kore'ma hunte'nuna zamo'a, rama'a fenoza ante'neta hazenkema erizana agaterene.
17 Better is an entertainment of herbs with friendliness and kindness, than a feast of calves, with enmity.
Vahe'ma avesinentenka hozafi kamo'ma osia refko hunka ne'zamo'a, ra bulimakao afu'ma ahegino rimpagnanema refkoma huno ne'zana erifru nehie.
18 A passionate man stirs up strife; but [he that is] slow to anger appeases even a rising one. A man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels; but an ungodly man rather stirs [them] up.
Ame huno'ma rimpama ahe vahe'mo, haframa hu'zana eri fore nehie. Hianagi akohenoma rimpa fru huno mani vahe'mo'a haframa hu'zana erifru nehie.
19 The ways of sluggards are strewn with thorns; but those of the diligent are made smooth.
Eri'za e'ori feru'ma mani vahe'mofo kamo'a, ave'ave trazampima neviankna hu'ne. Hianagi mani fatgo hu'za mani vahe'mokizmi kamo'a ranka me'nege'za nevaze.
20 A wise son gladdens [his] father; but a foolish son sneers at his mother.
Ama' antahi'zama me'nea mofavremofo nefa'a, muse nehie. Hianagi neginagi ne'mo'a, nererana kefenkaminetre.
21 The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; but a wise man proceeds on his way aright.
Antahi'zama'a omane vahe'mo'a, neginagi avu'ava zankura muse hugahie. Hianagi ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'a, knare zanke nehuno, fatgo kante nevie.
22 They that honour not councils put off deliberation; but counsel abides in the hearts of counsellors.
Knare antahi'zama vahepinti e'orinenka mago'a zama retro'ma hunaku'ma hananana, ana zamo'a forera osugahie. Hianagi rama'a knare antahintahima eritenka, retro'ma hanana zamo'a, efore hugahie.
23 A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common [weal].
Fatgo huno'ma kenonama hanimo'a, muse hugahie. Hagi kna fatgore'ma huga kema hania kemo'a, knare'zantfa hugahie.
24 The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell. (Sheol )
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'ma asimu erisia kamo'a anagamu marenerino, fri vahe kumapima uramizankura kegava hunente. (Sheol )
25 The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow.
Ra Anumzamo'a avufama eri antesgama hanimofona nomani'zama'a, eri haviza hugahie. Hianagi kento a'mofo fenoma'ane nonkuma'a, kegava huntegahie.
26 An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; but the sayings of the pure are held in honour.
Kefo avu'avaza'ma hu antahi'zama retroma huzankura, Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huno agonete. Hianagi avusese hu'nea kema huzankura, Agra muse nehie.
27 A receiver of bribes destroys himself; but he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. [By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away; ] but by the fear of the Lord every one departs from evil.
Iza'o mika'za rehatri huno nagrike zanema hu' vahe'mo'a, hazenke erino naga'afina efregahie. Hianagi havi kazigati'ma masavema huno mizama sezanku'ma avesrama huntesimo'a, knare huno manigahie.
28 The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; and through them even enemies become friends.
Fatgo agu'ane vahe'mo'a agesa antahiteno, kenona nehie. Hanki kefo vahe'mofo agipintira, kefoge atineramie.
29 God is far from the ungodly; but he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. Better are small receipts with righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. Let the heart of a man think justly, that his steps may be rightly ordered of God. The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.
Ra Anumzamo'a kefo zamavu'zmava'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmirera, afete nemanie. Hianagi fatgo vahe'mokizmi nunamunte, agesa anteno antahinezamie.
Musema nehia vahe'mofo avufima kesanana, muse hugahane. Knare'zama hu'nesia zamofo agenkema hu ke'mo'a, vahe'mofona zaferina kampina azeri fru hugahie.
Iza'o so'e nomani'zama manisiegu'ma, azeri fatgoma hu kema nehinkeno antahisimo'a, knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'zama manisaza amu'nompi manigahie.
32 He that rejects instruction hates himself; but he that mind reproofs loves his soul.
Iza'o azeri fatgo hu kema nehanigeno ontahisimo'a, agra'a azeri haviza nehie. Hianagi iza'o azeri fatgo hu kema nehinkeno, antahisimo'a, ama' antahintahi erigahie.
33 The fear of the Lord is instruction and wisdom; and the highest honour will correspond therewith.
Ra Anumzamofonku kore'ma hunteno agoragama mani avu'avazamo, vahe'mofona knare antahintahia rempi hunemie. Hagi kagrama anteraminka manisunka, rankagia erigahane.
