< Proverbs 16 >

1 It is for man to prepare the soul, and for the Lord to govern the tongue.
Vahe'mota e'ina hu'za hugahune huta antahintahia retro hugahunanagi, Ra Anumzamoke ana antahintahima retro'ma hanuntera, huvagare kea huntegahie.
2 All the ways of a man are open to his eyes; the Lord is the one who weighs spirits.
Tagrama mika zama hu'nazamo'a knare hune huta tagesa antahigahunanagi, nanknahu tagutagesareti ana mika'zana nehune Ra Anumzamoke refako hugahie.
3 Open your works to the Lord, and your intentions will be set in order.
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 wrought all things because of himself. Likewise the impious is for the evil day.
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 All the arrogant are an abomination to the Lord. Even if hand will be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice. And this is more acceptable with God than to immolate sacrifices.
Ra Anumzamo'a zamavufga ra nehaza vahekura, avesra huzmanteno agotenezmante. Hagi zamavufara hanaza vahe'mo'za, knazampi manigahaze.
6 By mercy and truth, iniquity is redeemed. And by the fear of the Lord, one turns 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 the ways of man will please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.
Ra Anumzamo'ma musema nehia kante'ma tavutva'ma hanunkeno'a, ha' vahetimo'zanena zamarimpa fru hurantegahaze.
8 Better is a little with justice, than many fruits with iniquity.
Fatgo mani'zane mani'nenka osi'a fenoma ante'snamo'a, havi kampinti rama'a fenoma antesana zana agatere'ne.
9 The heart of man disposes his way. But it is for Lord to direct his steps.
Ana hugahune huta antahintahia retro hugahunanagi, Ra Anumzamo Agrake maka'zama hanuna kana erinte fatgo hugahie.
10 Foreknowledge is in the lips of the king. His mouth shall not err in judgment.
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 Weights and scales are judgments of the Lord. And all the stones in 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 Those who act impiously are abominable to the king. For the throne is made firm by justice.
Kini vahe'mofona kefo avu'ava zankura agoteno, avesra nehie. Na'ankure kini tra'ma me'neana, fatgo avu'avamofo agofetu me'ne.
13 Just lips are the will of kings. He who speaks honestly shall be loved.
Kini vahe'mo'za fatgo vahe'mofo kegu musena nehu'za, tamage keagama nehia vaheku zamavesinezamantaze.
14 The indignation of a king is a herald of death. And the wise man will appease 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 cheerfulness of the king’s countenance, there is life. And his clemency is like belated 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 Possess wisdom, for it is better than gold. And acquire prudence, for it is more precious 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 path of the just turns away from evils. He who guards his soul preserves his way.
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 Arrogance precedes destruction. And the spirit is exalted before a fall.
Kavufga ra huzamo'a, kazeri haviza hugahie. Kagra kavufga husgama hu'zamo'a, kazeri tanafa kofa hugahie.
19 It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the arrogant.
Akoheno anteramino amunte omane vahe'enema mani'zamo'a, avufga ra hu vahemo ha'pinti feno eri'neaza refko hu'zana agatere'ne.
20 The learned in word shall find good things. And whoever hopes in the Lord is blessed.
Iza'o avumro antesaza kema avaririsimo'a, hakare'zama hanifina knare hugahie. Ra Anumzamofonte'ma amentintima hanimofona, asomu huntegahie.
21 Whoever is wise in heart shall be called prudent. And whoever is sweet in eloquence shall attain to what is greater.
Antahi ama'ma haza vaheku, ama' antahi'zane vahere hu'za hugahaze. Knare kema hania nanekemo, vahe'mofona avare agrarega atregahie.
22 Learning is a fountain of life to one who possesses it. The doctrine of the foolish is senseless.
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 shall instruct his mouth and add grace 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 Careful words are a honeycomb: sweet to the soul and healthful 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 right to a man, and its end result leads to death.
Mago'a vahe'mo'za knare kante nevune nahazanagi, anama nevaza kamofo atuparega fri'za me'ne.
26 The soul of the laborer labors for himself, because his mouth has driven him to it.
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 The impious man digs up evil, and in his lips 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 perverse man stirs up lawsuits. And one who is verbose divides leaders.
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 man of iniquity entices his friend, and he leads him along a way that is not good.
Haframahu ne'mo'a, tava'oma'are'ma nemanimofona revatga huno avreno havi kante nevie.
30 Whoever, with astonished eyes, thinks up depravities, biting his lips, accomplishes evil.
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 Old age is a crown of dignity, when it is found in the ways of justice.
Fatgo avu'ava zama hu'zama nevaza vahe'mokizmia tu zamazokamo'a, kini fetori anunte antanintea kna nehige'za, ra agi nezamize.
32 A patient man is better than a strong one. And whoever rules his soul is better than one who assaults cities.
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 Lots are cast into the lap, but they are tempered by the Lord.
Mago'azama hunakura satu zokago renka antahiama hugahue hnananagi Ra Anumzamoke hu izora hutenkeno, anazamo'a eforera hugahie.
