< Ecclesiastes 10 >

1 Dying flies ruin the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a brief and limited foolishness.
Mnanentake zama nentaza taferopima kosintamimo'zama fri'za mesu'za, kasri'za ana taferopima me'nea mnanentake'zana eri haviza hugahaze. Hagi e'ina hukna huno osi neginagi avu'ava zamo'a, knare antahi'zane knare agima vahe'mofoma amino husgama hunte'zana eri haviza nehie.
2 The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a foolish man is in his left hand.
Knare agu'agesane vahe'mo'a knare avu'avaza nehigeno, havi agu'agesane vahe'mo'a, neginagi avu'avaza nehie.
3 Moreover, as a foolish man is walking along the way, even though he himself is unwise, he considers everyone to be foolish.
Neginagi vahe'mofona kama vania avu'avate negenka, e'i neginagi vahere hunka hugahane.
4 If the spirit of one who holds authority rises over you, do not leave your place, because attentiveness will cause the greatest sins to cease.
Hagi kvakamo'ma arimpama aheganteno kema kasanigenka, eri'zana atrenka ovuo. Fru hunka mani'nenka kvakamofo kema antahisankeno'a, mago'ane arimpa aheogantegahie.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, proceeding from the presence of a prince, as if by mistake:
Hagi mago kefo avu'ava zama ama mopafima koana, ugagota kva vahe'mo'za eri'zana eri havizana nehaze.
6 a foolish man appointed to a high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath him.
Neginagi vahera marerirfa eri'zanke nezami'za, feno vahera evurami'nea eri'za nezamize.
7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking on the ground like servants.
Hagi mago zama koana, kazokazo eri'za vahe'mo'za hosi afu agumpi vano nehazage'za, ugagota kva vahe'mo'za kazokazo eri'za vahekna hu'za mopafi vano nehaze.
8 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. And whoever tears apart a hedge, a snake will bite him.
Mago vahemo'ma agra'ama kafinte'nesia kerifina agra'a uramigahie. Hagi korapama me'nesia have keginama ahe fragu'ma vazisanana anampintira osifavemo'a kamprigahie.
9 Whoever carries away stones will be harmed by them. And whoever cuts down trees will be wounded by them.
Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma havema frage eri'zama e'nerisigeno'a, ana havemo'a tamino hazenke amigahie. Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma zafama ape'ma nehanigeno'a, ana zafamo'a hazenkea amigahie.
10 If the iron is dull, and if it was not that way before, but has been made dull by much labor, then it will be sharpened. And wisdom will follow after diligence.
Hagi osane'nenia sasumereti'ma eri'zama erisanana rama'a hankave atrenka eri'zana erigahane. Hianagi knare antahi'zama erinenia vahe'mo'a knare huno eri'zana erigahie.
11 Whoever slanders in secret is nothing less than a snake that bites silently.
Ko'ma osifavemo'ma vahe'ma ampritesigeno'ma ana osifavema azeri agazonema haniana, ana osifavema azeri agazonema hania vahe'mofo eri'zamo'a amnezankna hugahie.
12 Words from the mouth of a wise man are graceful, but the lips of a foolish man will throw him down with violence.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a vahekura asunku hunezamanteno knare mani'zankuke keaga nehie. Hianagi neginagi vahe'mo'a hazenke'za avreno nomani'zama'afima esiankege nehie.
13 At the beginning of his words is foolishness, and at the end of his talk is a most grievous error.
Neginagi vahe'mo'a neginagi kereti agafa huteno, neginagi avu'ava zanteti'ene kefo nanekereti'ene ome hu vagaregahie.
14 The fool multiplies his words. A man does not know what has been before him, and who is able to reveal to him what will be in the future after him?
Naza henka fore hugahie mago vahe'mo'a antahino keno osu'neanagi, neginagi vahe'mo'a rama'a naneke huvava huno vugahie. Hagi henkama fore'ma hania zana iza asamigahie?
15 The hardship of the foolish will afflict those who do not know to go into the city.
Neginagi vahe'mo'za eri'zana eri'sazanagi tusi zamavaresragu hugahaze. Na'ankure nozamiregama nevaza kana ke'za eri forera osugahaze.
16 Woe to you, the land whose king is a boy, and whose princes consume in the morning.
Mago osi mofavremo'ma kini manino kegavama hu'nesia mopafima nemanisaza kva vahe'mo'za nanterama ne'zama kre'za nene'za musema hanaza mopafi vahe'mota, razampi haviza hugahazanki kva hiho.
17 Blessed is the land whose king is noble, and whose princes eat at the proper time, for refreshment and not for self-indulgence.
Mareri vahe'mofo mofavremo'ma kinima manino kegavama hu'nesia mopafi kva vahe'mo'za kna fatagore neginagi osu'are nezama nenesaza mopafi vahe'mota muse hugahaze.
18 By laziness, a framework shall be brought down, and by the weakness of hands, a house shall collapse through.
Eri'za e'ori feru vahe'mofo nomo'ma varivarima nehanigeno ko'ma eri so'ema osanigeno'a varivari huno nomofo agu'afi efreno eri haviza hugahie.
19 While laughing, they make bread and wine, so that the living may feast. And all things are obedient to money.
Rama'a ne'zama kreno ne'zamo'a kiza zokagoma nehuno musenkasema huno mani'za avreno ne-enigeno, waini tima nezamo'a museza avreno neanagi, zagoretike makazana tro hugahane.
20 You should not slander the king, even in your thoughts, and you should not speak evil of a wealthy man, even in your private chamber. For even the birds of the air will carry your voice, and whatever has wings will announce your opinion.
Antahizanka'afina kini nera antahi havizana huonto. Nemsampinka maninenka feno vahera huhavizana huonto. Na'ankure osi namamo'a ana nanekeka'a erino ana vahera ome asmi'nigura ontahi'nane.
