Proverbs 22
1 A [good] name is rather to be chosen than great riches; loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Vahe'mo'ma knare kagi'ma kami'zamo'a, rama'a fenoma ante'zana agatere'ne. Hagi vahe'mo'ma kagri'ma kavesigante zamo'a, goline silvanena agatere'ne.
2 The rich and poor meet together; Jehovah is the maker of them all.
Feno vahe'ene amunte omane vahe'enena, Ra Anumzamo ana tarega vahera tro huzanantege'ne mani'na'e.
3 A prudent [man] seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Antahi ankere antahi'zane vahe'mo'a, hazenke zama ne-esigeno'a negeno maniganesigeno agateregahianagi, knare antahizama omane vahe'mo'a, hazenkema fore'ma nehanigeno'a, negeno vuno ana hazenkezana erino knazampina manigahie.
4 The reward of humility [and] the fear of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.
Agra'a avufga anteramino nemanino, Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunteno, agorga'ama mani'zamo'a, rama'a fenoza nentesankeno kagia husga nehanagenka, za'za kna manigahane.
5 Thorns [and] snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.
Akrahe krahe avu'ava ene vahe'ma nevaza kampina, ave'ave zane vahe'ma azeri kukone me'ne. Hianagi iza'o agra'ama kegavama himo'a afete nemanie.
6 Train up the child according to the tenor of his way, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Mofavreka'a knare kante'ma vu'za rempi humigeno knare kante nevuno, rama hanuno'a, ana avu'avara atreno rukrehe osino.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor; and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Feno vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahera, kegava hunezamantaze. Hagi zagoma nofi'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zago'ama nofi'ma haza ne'mofo kazokazo eri'za vahe nemanize.
8 He that soweth unrighteousness shall reap iniquity, and the rod of his wrath shall have an end.
Kefozama krinenimo'a, henka ne'zama'a hazenke'za kafigahie. Hagi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia himamu'amo'a, vagaregahie.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Iza'o zamunte'ma omane naga'ma muse zampinti'ma ne'zama zamisia vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huzamantegahie.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention will depart, and strife and ignominy shall cease.
Kehu haviza hu vahera zamahe anati atrenkeno, vahe'ma huhavizama hu'zane, ha'ma hu'zane, fragema hu'zana vagareno.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, upon whose lips is grace, the king is his friend.
Agu'amo'ma agru nehanigeno, fru kema huzanku avenesisimo'a, kini ne'mofo rone'a manigahie.
12 The eyes of Jehovah preserve knowledge; but he overthroweth the words of the unfaithful.
Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama erizante avu'a anteno kegava nehianagi, hazenke vahe'mofo kea erinetre.
13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion without, I shall be killed in the streets!
Feru vahe'mo'a amanage nehie, megi'a laioni mani'neankino, vanuana nahe frigahie huno nehie.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep ditch: he with whom Jehovah is displeased shall fall therein.
Savri a'mofo agipinti'ma ne-ea kemo'a, muri kankna hu'ne, izano Ra Anumzamo'ma arimpa hentesimo'a, ana muri kampi tamigahie.
15 Folly is bound in the heart of a child; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Mofavremofo agu'afina negi'nagi avu'avazamo avitegahianagi, kanoma amino azeri fatgoma hu'zamo ana avu'ava zampintira azeri arukrahe hugahie.
16 He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, [bringeth] only to want.
Fenozami mago'ane eri rama'a hunaku'ma zamunte omane vahe kna zamiza zamazeri haviza nehaza vahe'ene, feno vahe'ma musezama nezamiza vahe'mokizmia, zamuntera omanegahie.
17 Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo kere kagesa antenka antahise nehunka, nagrama rempima hugamisuaza huo.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee: they shall be together fitted on thy lips.
Na'ankure anankemo'a knare hu'neankinka kagu'afi erintenankeno ana kemo'a, kagitera me'ne'na kea hutere hugahane.
19 That thy confidence may be in Jehovah, I have made [them] known to thee this day, even to thee.
Nagra menina rempi hunegamugu, nentahinka Ra Anumzamofonte kagranena kamentinti huo.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things, in counsels and knowledge,
Nagra 30'a knare kegaga krentegantenofina, kavumro kene, antahiza eri zamofo naneke kregaminoankinka,
21 that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?
ama ana kereti tamage kea rempi hunka antahinenka, iza'o tamage kegu'ma hugantenigenka e'nesamofona fatgo'are kenona ome asamigahane.
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate;
Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmi zana ohanareho, na'ankure zamagra zamunte omane vahe mani'naze. Hagi zamunte omanesige'zama atupama hu'nesaza vahera, keagarera zamavarenteta zamazeri havizana osiho.
23 for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a, zamunte omane vahera zamahokeno zamazeri havizama hanaza vahe'mokizmia, zamazeri haviza hugahie.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man, and go not with a furious man;
Arimpa hevava vahera rone huonto, ame huno rimpahe vahe'enena tagro oto,
25 lest thou learn his paths, and get a snare to thy soul.
ru ana vahe zamavu'zamava enerisankeno, kukomo kazeriankna huno kagu'a kazeri haviza hugahie.
26 Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:
Mago vahera huvempa hunka mago'za hugantegahue osuo. Hagi ru vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma hu'nesigenka, ana nofi'ma hu'nea zana nagra vakanentegahue hunka osuo.
27 if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
Anama nofi'ma hu'nesaza zama apa osesanke'za miko zanka'ane, tafe'ma masinkama nemasesana zanena eri vagaregahaze.
28 Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set.
Tamagehe'mo'za ko'ma re'nenaza kanagi kana, akasi kantutretma rumofo mopa eri havia osiho.
29 Hast thou seen a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before the mean.
Eri'zama eri antahi'zama eri'nea ne'mofo eri'zana negano? Agra kini vahe'mokizmi eri'za vahe nemanino, agi omane vahe'mofo eri'za vahera omanigahie.
