Proverbs 20

1 Wine turns you into a mocker, alcohol makes you aggressive; you're stupid to be deceived by drink.

Waini tima nenea vahe'mofona azeri neginagi higeno, vahe'ma huhaviza hu kea nehigeno, aka timo'a vahe'mofona azeri negi nenkeno ke huhaviza nehuno hara hugahie. Waini ti neno neginagi hu vahe'mofona, agripina ama' antahi'zana omanegahie.

2 When a king gets terribly angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; anyone who makes him furious is liable to be killed.

Kinimofo arimpa akahe zamo'a, laionimo rankrafa hiankna hu'ne. Kini vahe'mofo azeri arimpa ahe'simofona, ahe frigahie.

3 Avoiding conflict is the proper thing to do, but stupid people are quick to argue.

Haframa hu'zanku'ma mani kore huno agatere'zamo'a, ra agi erigahie. Hianagi neginagi vahe'mo'za ame hu'za hafra nehaze.

4 Slackers don't sow when they should, so when harvest comes they don't have anything.

Feru vahe'mo'ma hozama ante knare'ma mopama rekorino hozama ontesuno'a, hozama hamare knarera ne'zana ohamaregahie.

5 Discovering what someone is planning in their mind is like looking at deep water, but a person who has understanding will find out.

Vahe'mofo antahi'zamo'a tirukna huno me'neanagi, ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'a ana tirupintira ana antahi'zana afi anaga netre.

6 Many people tell you they're loyal, but can you find someone really trustworthy?

Rama'a vahe'mo'za, tavesi negantone hugahazanagi, mago mago vahe'mo'za tamage hu'za kavesigantegahaze.

7 Good people live honestly; how happy are their children if they follow them.

Fatgo avu'ava'ene ne'mo'a, mani fatgo huno nemanie. Agri mofavre zagamo'za, asomu erigahaze.

8 When a king sits in judgment he recognizes all that isn't right.

Kini vahe'mo'ma keagama refako hunakura trate mani'neno, keaga refko huno havi avu'ava zana ke fore nehie.

9 Who can claim, “I've made sure my conscience is clean; I've purified myself from sin”?

Nagu'amo'a fatgo higena, nagra agru hu'noankino nagripina kumira omane'ne huno iza hugahie?

10 The Lord hates both dishonest weights and dishonest measures.

Havige hu'za maka'zama refko hu'za kna'ama ke'zane, havige hu'za avamente refkoma osu'zanena Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huno agote'nezmante.

11 Even children reveal what they're like by what they do, whether their actions are good and right.

Mofavremofona avu'avate negenka, agri avu'avamo'a agru hu'neanki, fatgo mofavre mani'neanki hugahane.

12 The Lord made our ears to hear and our eyes to see.

Tagesama me'neana keaga antahi'zane, tavuragama me'neana tavuma ke'za me'neankino, tarega'zana Ra Anumzamo museza tami'ne.

13 If you love sleeping you'll become poor. Wake up and get busy, and you'll have plenty to eat.

Kagrama kavu'ma masetenka manizankuma kavesi kavesima haniana, kamuntera omanegosie. Kavu'ma omasesanana ne'zama nesana zamo'a rama'a megahie.

14 “It's really rubbish,” says the one buying, but afterwards goes and boasts to others about making a good deal.

Knare osu'ne! Knare osune! Huno mago'a zama mizama seku'ma himo'a nehie. Hianagi mizaseno kantegama nevuno'a, ana zankura knare'za erue huno rama'a musenke hume nevie.

15 There's gold and plenty of expensive gemstones, but talking sense is a more valuable jewel.

Antahi'zama ami kemo'a, goline zago'amo'ma marerisa havea agetere'ne.

16 If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to foreigners!

Onke'nenana vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma nehinkeno magomo apasegahue hanigenka, anamofo anakreku'a huvame hunka eri'negeno, ana nofi'ma hu'neazana eme apaseno. Savri a'mo'ma nofi'ma hanigeno'ma mago'mo apasegahuema hanigenka, aza hu'na apasentegahue huno kaminia zana erio.

17 Food you get by cheating may taste sweet, but afterwards it will be like a mouthful of gravel.

Kumzafa kave'mo'a haganentake hugahianagi, refuzufupe havemo kagipi aviteno kagi traga hiankna henka'a hugahie.

18 With sound advice, plans are successful; if you're going to war, make sure you have good guidance.

Antahi'zana vahepinti eritenka eri'zama eri antahi'zana retro huo. Hagi knare antahi'zama mago'mofompinti'ma e'orinesunka hatera ovuo.

19 A gossip goes around revealing secrets; stay away from people who talk a lot.

Vahe zamagenkema hu vahe'mokizmi oku'zana hu ama nehaze. E'ina hu'negu vahe zamagenkema hu vahe enena tragotenka omanio.

20 Anyone who curses their father or mother will have their light put out and end in utter darkness.

Nerera nefama huhaviza huntesia vahe'mofona tavi'amo asu hanigeno kumazu hanimpi maniankna huno frigahie.

21 Wealth gained too soon won't do you any good in the end.

Arera afama ofri mani'nesigeno'ma erisinti haregahanema hu'nesia zama ame'ama huno erisia mofavremo'a, atuparega asimu'a omanegosie.

22 Don't say, “I'll get you back for doing me wrong.” Leave it to the Lord, and he'll help you.

Kefo avu'ava'ma hugante'sagenka anahukna hu'na nona huzamantegahue osuo. Hagi avega antenegeno Ra Anumzamo kaza huno ana knazana erino.

23 The Lord hates incorrect weights; using dishonest scales is wrong.

Mago'azama mizaseku'ma hanigeno kna'ama refako huno kezama (skel) erinteno refako hu so'e osu avu'ava zana, Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huno agonete.

24 The Lord shows us the way to go, so how would we decide for ourselves?

Vahe'mo'ma mika zama hiazana, Ra Anumzamoke azeri ante fatgo nehie. Inankna huno mago'a vahe'mo'a agra'ma nehia zana keno antahino hugahie?

25 It's a mistake to make a promise to God and then have second thoughts about it later.

Kagesa antahi ankeretenka Anumzamofontera huvempa huo. Ame'ama hunka huvempama hutesunka, henka'a anama hu'nesana kegu kagesa antahintahi nehunka kagraka'a kazeri haviza hugahane.

26 A wise king separates out the wicked by winnowing and punishes them by threshing.

Ama' antahi'zane kini ne'mo'a kefo zamavu'zamava nehaza vahera witi hona'a hareno eriherahe hianka huno rezaganeno ke ama huteno, henka knanentake havenu witi'a refuzafupeankna huno knazana zamigahie.

27 The Lord's light shines on the conscience, revealing our deepest thoughts.

Ra Anumzamofo lampe tavi'mo'a, vahe'mofo kantu agu'afi ufreno mika kefo agu'agesama me'neana hakeno eri ama nehie.

28 Trustworthy love and faithfulness keep a king safe; trustworthy love supports his rule.

Kini ne'mo'ma vahe'mokizmima avesi nezamanteno knare avu'ava huzamantesiana, agra knare huno mani'neno, za'za kna kva eri'zantera manino vugahie.

29 Young men value their strength, but the old value even more the wisdom that comes with gray hair.

Nehazave ramimofona hanave zamimo ra zamagia nezamie. Hianagi ranra vahera efe'zmazoka nege'za vahe'mo'za husga hunezmantaze.

30 Wounds and blows clean away what's evil; beatings clean what's deep down inside.

Hazenkema hania vahe'ma knokeve'ma ami'zamo, kefo avu'ava zana ahenati netreno, agu'a azeri agru hugahie.
