Proverbs 19
1 Better to be poor but honest than stupid and tell lies.
Amunte omane vahe'ma mani'neno, maka zampima mani fatgoma hu'zamo'a, neginagi vahe'mo'ma akrehe krehe ageru'ma ruzana agatere'ne.
2 It's not good to be someone who doesn't think. If you rush, things go wrong.
Mago vahe'mo'ma keno antahino'ma osu'nesia zama hunaku'ma haniana, knarera osugahie. Iza'o ame'ama huno mago'zama hunaku'ma hanimo'a, ana zana eri haviza hugahie.
3 People mess up their lives by their own stupidity, and then get angry with the Lord.
Mago'a vahe'mokizmi zamagri'a neginagi zamavu'zmava zamo zamazeri haviza nehige'za, Ra Anumzamofona zamarimpa ahenentaze.
4 If you're rich, you get a lot of friends, but if you're poor, you lose any friends you had.
Amunte'ma me'nea ne'mofona, rama'a knampa'a manigahaze. Hagi fenoma'a omane ne'mofona knampa'amo'za netraze.
5 A false witness will be punished; liars won't get away with their lies.
Keagare'ma omati'nesia vahe'ma havigema huno huama'ma hunteno azama hanimo'a, knazana erigahie. Hagi havi kema hanimo'a, mizama'a erigahie.
6 Many ask favors from important people, and everyone's a friend of the generous.
Rama'a vahe'mo'za zamazama hania vahe arone manizanku zamave'nesie. Hagi maka vahe'mo'za muse zama nezami'za vahe'mofo rone nemanize.
7 If a poor man's relatives can't stand him, how much more will his friends avoid him! He tries to talk with them but they don't listen.
Kagrima kamunte'ma omanesige'za, kafuhe'za kavesi ogantegahaze. Hagi knampa ka'amo'za mago'ane agatere'za zamavesra hugantegahaze. Kazama hanazegu'ma hakesanana, zamagra omanigahaze.
8 If you become wise, you have good self-esteem; if you learn good sense you'll be successful.
Kagrama knare antahi'zama erisunka, kagraka'agu avesinentane. Kagrama ama' antahi'zama azeri hampo'nama hanunka, knare hunka manigahane.
9 A false witness will be punished; people who tell lies will perish.
Keagafima otisia vahe'ma havigema huno huama huntesia vahe'mo'a knaza erigahie. Hagi havigema hanaza vahe'mo'za frigahaze.
10 It's not right for stupid people to live in luxury, and it's even worse for a slave to rule over leaders.
Neginagi vahe'mo'za marerisa zampina manigara osu'naze. Kazokzo eri'za vahe'mo'ma kva vahe manino, kva (princes) vahe'ma kegava huntezamo'a, knarera osutfaza hu'ne.
11 If you have good sense you'll be slow to get angry; you gain respect by forgiving wrongs.
Knare antahi'zama eri'nesia ne'mo'a, ame huno arimpa ohegosie. Hagi havizama huntesia zanku'ma agesama ontahisiana, husga huntegahaze.
12 When a king gets angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; but his kindness is as soft as dew on the grass.
Kini vahe'mofo rimpa he'zamo'a, laionimo rankrafa hiankna nehie. Hianagi vahe'ma zamavesinteno zamazama hu avu'ava zamo'a, trazante ata ko arunteankna nehie.
13 A stupid son makes his father miserable, and an argumentative wife is like dripping that never stops.
Mago ne'mofavremo'ma neginagi avu'avazama hiana, nefana tusi'a hazenke erinemie. Hagi mago ne'mofo a'mo'ma kefra nehuno, ke huvava hania a'mo'a, nomofo anuntupinti ko'arigeno varivri hiankna hugahie.
14 You inherit a house and wealth from your father, but a sensible wife is a gift from the Lord.
Negrera negafampinti none fenozanena erisanti haregahane. Hianagi Ra Anumzamoke, ama' antahi'zane a'ra kamigahie.
15 Lazy people are often fast asleep, but idleness means they're hungry.
Feru vahe'moka kavu mase vava hugahane. Hagi eri'za e'ori vahe'moka ne'zanku frigahane.
16 Keep the commandments, and you'll live; despise them and you'll die.
Iza'o kasegema amage'antesimo'a knare huno manigahie. Hagi iza'o Ra Anumzamofo avu'ava'ma amefi'ma humisimo'a, frigahie.
17 If you're kind to the poor, you're lending to the Lord, and he will repay you well for what you've done.
Iza'o amunte omane vahe'ma knare avu'ava'ma hunentemo'a, Ra Anumzamofo anara hunente. Hagi agrama hania avu'avamofo avamente, mizana amigahie.
18 Discipline your son while there's still hope, but don't kill him.
Mofavre kamofona azeri fatgoma hugama hu'nesire, avumarora antenka azeri fatgo huo. Hagi azeri fatgoma osnanana, frinogu kave'nesie.
19 People who often get angry have to pay the penalty; if you help them, you'll have to do it again.
Hantaka huno'ma arimpa ahe vahe'mo'a, hazenke'a erigahie. Na'ankure kagrama aza hunka eri amane hanankeno'a, henka ana ne'mo'a anazana nehinkenka aza huvava hugahane.
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction so that you'll eventually become wise.
Kavumro antesia kema nentahinka, kazeri fatgoma hania kema avaririsunka, mani so'e hunka vugahane.
21 Human beings make many plans in their minds, but the final decision is the Lord's.
Vahe'mo'a rama'a zanku antahi'zana eri retro huno hugahue hugahianagi, Ra Anumzamo'ma antahino fore hugahie hu'nesia zamoke fore hugahie.
22 The most desirable thing in anyone is trustworthy love; it is better to be poor than a liar.
Ra zama me'neana huvempama hunte'nesia kere, amage'ma anteno mani'zane. Hagi amunte omane vahe'ma mani'zamo'a, havige vahera agatere'ne.
23 Honoring the Lord is life, and you will rest contentedly, safe from harm.
Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro'ma hunteno agorga'ama mani'zamo'a, kavreno knare mani'zante vugahie. Hagi iza'o e'inahu'ma hanimo'a, mago'zankura korera osuno knare huno manigahie.
24 Lazy people put their hands in a dish, and won't even lift the food to their mouths.
Eri'za e'ori feru vahe'mo'a, ne'za nenaku tafepi azana antesigeno vugahianagi, ana ne'zana agipina erinteno onegahie.
25 If you punish someone who mocks, you may help an immature person to learn. Correct the wise, and they become wiser.
Vahe'ma huhaviza nehania vahe'ma azerinka sefu'ma amisankeno'a, knare antahi'zama omane vahe'mo'za nege'za, knare avu'avara amage antegahaze. Hianagi knare antahi'zama me'nea vahe'ma azeri fatgo hanankeno'a, mago'ane antahi'zana erigahie.
26 A son who abuses his father and chases away his mother brings shame and disgrace.
Mago mofavremo'ma nefa'ma neheno, nererama nompinti'ma ahenati atresia mofavremo'a, tusi'a agazeza erino naga'afina eme antegahie.
27 My son, stop listening to my instruction and you'll soon give up following wisdom.
Kavumro'ma antesianke'ma ontahi'sanana, e'i knare antahi'zamofo kana atrenka havifi vugahane.
28 A crooked witness makes a mockery of justice; and the wicked wolf down evil.
Havige hu vahe'mo'ma havigema huno keagafima omati'nea vahe'ma huama'ma hunte'zamo'a, keagama antahi trara kiza zokago zankna nehuno, havi avu'ava zana ne'za nazankna nehaze.
29 Punishment is ready for those who mock; flogging is ready for the backs of the stupid.
Vahe'ma huhavizama hunezmantaza vahe'mokizmi'a, mizazmia ko tro huzmantegeno me'neanki'za erigahaze. Nehanage'za neginagima hanaza vahera, kanonkeve zamigahaze.
