Proverbs 17
1 A dry morsel with gladness is better than a house full of sacrifices along with conflict.
Vahe'mo'ma rimpa frune akoheno mani'neno naga'anema osia kave'ma ne'zamo'a, tusi'a ne'zama hafra nehuno kreno ne'zana agatere'ne.
2 A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and he will divide the inheritance among brothers.
Knare antahi'zane eri'za ne'mo'a, kva'amofo mofavre'mo'ma agaze hu avu'ava'ma hania mofavremofona ugota huno kegava hunte'neno, mofavre'amo'za erisanti haregahaze huzmante'nesafintira erigahie.
3 Just as silver is tested by fire, and gold is tested in the furnace, so also does the Lord test hearts.
Koline silvanena tevefi kre'za eri agru nehaze. Hianagi Ra Anumzamoke tagu'amofona reheno nege.
4 The evil obey an unjust tongue. And the false are submissive to lying lips.
Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, havigema nehazankea nentahie. Hagi tavre vahe'mo'a, vahe'ma azeri haviza hukema hazanke nentahie.
5 Whoever despises the poor rebukes his Maker. And whoever rejoices in the ruin of another will not go unpunished.
Amunte omane vahe'ma huhaviza huntesia vahe'mo'a, tro'ma huzmante'nea Ra Anumzamofo huhaviza hunente. Hagi hazenkema erisaza zanku'ma muse hanimo'a, agra'a havi mizana erigahie.
6 Sons of sons are the crown of old age. And the glory of sons is their fathers.
Nenama hu'za ra avuma omesaza vahe'mokizmia, zamagehe'mo'za kini fetorikna zamanuntera hu'nage'za, ra zamagi vahe'mo'za nezamize. Hagi mofavremo'za zamarera zamafana muse huzmantegahaze.
7 Well-chosen words are not fitting for the foolish, nor are lying lips fitting for a leader.
Neginagi vahe'mofontera knare ke'ma hu'zamo'a, haviza hu'neanagi, kva ne'mo'ma havigema hu'zamo'a, havizantfa hu'ne.
8 The expectation of those who stand ready is a most pleasing jewel. Whichever way he turns himself, he understands prudently.
Mago'mo'ma mago zama erinaku zagoreti'ma maseve'ma amino erisia zamo'a agraragisa kaguvaza huno efore hiankna nehie. Iza'o anazama himo'a maka zampina knare nehie.
9 Whoever conceals an offense seeks friendships. Whoever repeats the words of another separates allies.
Iza'o havizama huntesimofoma kefo zama'a atrentesimo'a, amu'nozanifina avesinte avu'avazamo'a, meno vugahie. Hianagi arone'amofo havi avu'avazama'agu hugantigama hanimo'a, knare knampa'a azeri atanegahie.
10 A correction benefits more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
Kemofoma refko huno antahi ankemare vahe'mofona, magoke zupama azeri fatgo hu kema asamisankeno'a antahigahianagi, neginagi vahe'mofoma azeri fatgo hunaku'ma 100'a zupa knona ami'sanana, avu'avara ruzahera osugahie.
11 The evil one continually seeks conflicts. But a cruel Angel shall be sent against him.
Kefo avu'avazane vahe'mo'za, ha'ma erifore hu zankuke zamave'nesiankino, hazenkema zami vahera huntenkeno zamavaririgahie.
12 It is more expedient to meet a bear robbed of her young, than the foolish trusting in his own folly.
Anenta'ama kumzafama ase'nesaza beama, mago ne'mo'ma kantegama tutagihama hunte'zamo'a knare hu'neanagi, neginagi vahe'mo'za neginagi zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'enema tragoteno manizana agatere'ne.
13 Whoever repays evil for good, evil shall not withdraw from his house.
Hagi mago vahe'mo'a knare'zama magamofoma huntesia zanku'ma, nona huno kefozama huntesia vahe'mofona, kefo zamo'a naga'afintira atreno ovutfa hugahie.
14 Whoever releases the water is the head of the conflict. And just before he suffers contempt, he abandons judgment.
Haframa hu'zamo'ma agafama nehanigeta, koma eri amne osanunkeno'a, ti anagi atregeno ti hageno eankna huno rama'aza eri haviza hugahie.
15 Those who justify the impious, and those who condemn the just, both are abominable with God.
Kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma fatgo vahere nehu'za, fatgo zmavu'avazama nehaza vaheku'ma, kefo vahere hu'zama nehaza tare zamavu'zmavakura, Ra Anumzamo'a agoteno avesra hunezmante.
16 What does it profit the foolish to have riches, when he is not able to buy wisdom? Whoever makes his house high seeks ruin. And whoever shuns learning shall fall into evils.
Neginagi vahe'mo'za knare antahi'zama rempima hu'za eri zamave'sizama omane'nege'za, na'a hige'za avono huzama mizasesaza zagoa zamazampina eri'naze?
17 Whoever is a friend loves at all times. And a brother is proved by distress.
Mika zupa knampati'mo'za zamavesirantegahaze. Hagi knazampima taza hanagu tafuhe'mokizmia kasezmante'naze.
18 A foolish man will clap his hands, when he makes a pledge for his friend.
Knare antahi'zazmima omane vahe'mo'za zamagrazmi huvempa hu'za, tava'ozmire nemani'za vahe'mo'za nofi'ma hu'naza zama ovakanesageta, tagrati vakanezmantegahune hu'za nehaze.
19 Whoever dwells on discord loves disputes. And whoever exalts his door seeks ruin.
Iza'o ha'frama hu'zankuma avesintemo'a, kumiku ave'nesie. Iza'o agra'a agima erintesgama nehimo'a, hazenke erigahie.
20 Whoever is of a perverse heart shall not find good. And whoever turns his tongue shall fall into evil.
Akrehe akrehe agu'ane ne'mo'a, knare zana hakeno erifore osugahie. Hagi iza'o tavre kema nehanimo'a, hazenkefi ufregahie.
21 A foolish one is born into his own disgrace. But his father will not rejoice in one who is senseless.
Neginagi vahe'mofo nerera nefa'a, tusi'a ataza e'nerie. Higeno nefa rimpamo'a, ana neginagi ne'mofonkura musena osugahie.
22 A joyful soul makes a lifetime flourish. A gloomy spirit dries out the bones.
Musema huno mani'zamo'a, tusazamo vahe'ma azeri so'e higeno maniankna nehie. Hianagi vahe'mofo antahi'zamo'ma havizama haniana, havi krimo zaferinafi me'neno azeri haviza hiankna hu'ne.
23 The impious receives gifts from the bosom, so that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
Kema refkohu tratema kefo ne'mo'ma mani'nesuno'a, keagama eri haviza hinogu oku'a masevema huno amisia zagoa e'nerino, keaga eri rukrahe huno fatgo kantera ontahigosie.
24 Prudence shines from the face of the wise. The eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.
Antahi'zane vahe'mo'a knare antahi'zante avua anteno nevie. Hianagi havi vahe'mofo avumo'a, mopa ataginare ame huno omegege, emegege huno nevie
25 A foolish son is the anger of the father and the grief of the mother who conceived him.
Neginagi mofavremo'za nezmafana zamasuzana eri nezamie. Hagi kasema ante'nea zamarerahe'ina, zamarimpa zamata erinezamize.
26 It is not good to inflict damage on the just, nor to strike the leader who judges uprightly.
Fatgo hu'nesia vahe'ma knazama zamige, knare huno hazenke'a omane kva vahe'ma kanoma ami'zamo'a, haviza hu'ne.
27 Whoever moderates his words is learned and prudent. And a man of learning has a precious spirit.
Knare antahintahima me'nea vahe'mo'a, rama'a keaga osugahie. Hagi ama' antahi'zama me'nenia ne'mo'a, ame huno rimpagna osugahie.
28 If he would remain silent, even the foolish would be considered wise, and if he closes his lips, intelligent.
E'ina hu'negu neginagi vahe'mo'ma kema osuno manisia zankura, vahe'mo'za knare antahi'za eri'ne hugahaze.
