< Proverbs 18 >
1 He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
Agra'aku'ma nemanisia vahe'mo'a, agraguke agesa nentahie. Knare antahizama eri'nea vaheku'enena ana ne'mo'a avesiozmantegahie.
2 A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
Neginagi vahe'mo'a ama' antahintahima erizankura, musena osugosie. Hianagi agra'a antahi'zanke hu'netreno manigahie.
3 The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, mago'a vahekura antahi amane'za neseno, zamagi'a eri haviza nehuno, zamagaze erinezamie.
4 Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo agipinti ke'mo'a, tiru kna hu'ne. Hianagi mika knare antahizamo'a, timo kerifinti aviteno herafiramino neviankna nehie.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
Hazenkema huteno keagahu trate'ma otisigenka, hazenkema hu'nesia vahera aza osutfa huo. Hagi fatgo vahe'ma keagafima oti'nenigenka havigema huntenka azeri atre'zankura kva huo.
6 The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
Neginagi vahe'mofo kemo'a, hafra hu'za eri fore nehigeno, ana ke'zmimo'a kanonkevegu meme nehie.
7 The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
Neginagi vahe'mofo agi'mo'a, havi ke'agage nehanigeno, krifu agra'a avufare anaginente'ankna nehiakino, agrira azeri haviza hugahie.
8 The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
Vahe agenkema hu'zamo'a, haga ne'zankna hu'neankino, ame huno vahe agu'afina ufregahie.
9 He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
Zaferina omane feru vahe'mo'a, maka'zama eri havizama nehia vahe'mofo nefu manine.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
Ra Anumzamofo agimo'a hanavenentake vihugna hu'neankino, fatgo vahe'mo'za agritega zamagare'za nevazageno, zamagu nevazie.
11 The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
Feno vahe'mofo fenomo'a ra kuma zmimofo vihugna hu'neakino, kegava hurantenkenta knare huta manigahune hu'za nentahize.
12 Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
Avufga ra hu'zamo'a, henka hazenkefi kavrentena manigahane. Hianagi knare hunka anteraminka mani'zamo'a, kazerisga huno knare kagi kamigahie.
13 He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
Iza'o kema antahi anke ore'neno ke'nonama hanimo'a, agra neginagi avu'ava nehuno agaze zana agra'a erigahie.
14 The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
Krima eri'nesimo'ma ana zankuma antahintahi hakarema osaniana, ana krifina amane manino vugahie. Hianagi vahe'mofo antahintahimoma havizama haniana, iza knarera huno manigahie?
15 A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
Maka'zama antahi ankere vahe'mo'a, knare antahintahima erinakura muse nehie. Knare vahe'mo'a agesazofo huteno nemanie.
16 A man’s gift enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
Musezama eri'neno esimofona, kafana anagisigeno keagama hukuma hania rankva nera negesigeno, keaga humigahie.
17 The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
Keagafima otinesia ne'ma ese'ma keagama refkoma huno kesiana tamage hugahazanagi, anantema antahigesia ne'mo, hazenke'a keno erifore hugahie.
18 The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
Taisi zokagoma re'zamo ha' frama hu'zana eri fru nehuno, hanave netremoke'ma ha'ma hu'zana zanazeri netane.
19 A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
Kagrama negafu'ma arimpama azeri havizama hu'nenana ne'ma avare'zamo'a, rankumamofo hanavenentake vihu hunteankna huno negafu'ma avare'zamo'a amuho hu'ne. Ha' frama hu'zamo'a, rone ka'a hanavenentake kafa erigino rentroko huno, refko hiankna hugahie.
20 Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
Knare kema kagipintima atiramisuno'a, knare ne'zama nankeno kamuma hiankna huno kaza hugahie. Fatgo kema hanana kemo'a, kazeri knare hugahie.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
Kekamo'a vahera zamazeri so'e nehuno, zamazeri havizana hugahie. Hagi kema huzantema avesima nentesimo'a, ana ke'amoma rentesia raga'a agra'a erigahie.
22 He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
Iza'o a'ma hakreno erinesimo'a, knare'za hakreno eri'neankino, Ra Anumzamo'a avesinente.
23 The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
Amunte omane vahe'mo'a, asumaraginteno azama hanigu meme nehianagi, feno vahe'mo'a, hanave kefinti kenona nehie.
24 A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
Rama'a ronekamo'a kazeri haviza hugahianagi, tamage ronekamo'a negafuma nehiaza huno tava'onkare manigahie.
