Proverbs 22
1 A good reputation is a much better choice than plenty of money; respect is better 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 the poor have this in common: the Lord created them all.
Feno vahe'ene amunte omane vahe'enena, Ra Anumzamo ana tarega vahera tro huzanantege'ne mani'na'e.
3 If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and pay for it.
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 you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, 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 traps lie in the path of crooked people; those who value their lives will stay away 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 Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they'll go on doing so.
Mofavreka'a knare kante'ma vu'za rempi humigeno knare kante nevuno, rama hanuno'a, ana avu'avara atreno rukrehe osino.
7 The rich rule the poor, and borrowers are slaves to their lenders.
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 Those who sow injustice will reap disaster, and the angry beatings they inflict on others will be stopped.
Kefozama krinenimo'a, henka ne'zama'a hazenke'za kafigahie. Hagi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia himamu'amo'a, vagaregahie.
9 If you're generous, you'll be blessed, for you share your food with those in need.
Iza'o zamunte'ma omane naga'ma muse zampinti'ma ne'zama zamisia vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huzamantegahie.
10 Get rid of the scornful, and you'll get rid of conflict too—no more arguments or insults!
Kehu haviza hu vahera zamahe anati atrenkeno, vahe'ma huhavizama hu'zane, ha'ma hu'zane, fragema hu'zana vagareno.
11 Anyone who loves sincerity and a gracious way of speaking will have the king as their friend.
Agu'amo'ma agru nehanigeno, fru kema huzanku avenesisimo'a, kini ne'mofo rone'a manigahie.
12 The Lord watches over true knowledge, but counteracts the words of liars.
Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama erizante avu'a anteno kegava nehianagi, hazenke vahe'mofo kea erinetre.
13 Lazy people make claims like, “There's a lion outside! I might be killed if I go out there!”
Feru vahe'mo'a amanage nehie, megi'a laioni mani'neankino, vanuana nahe frigahie huno nehie.
14 The seductive words of an immoral woman are a dangerous trap—if the Lord's angry with you, then you'll fall right in.
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 Children are naturally foolish; physical correction helps them to see sense.
Mofavremofo agu'afina negi'nagi avu'avazamo avitegahianagi, kanoma amino azeri fatgoma hu'zamo ana avu'ava zampintira azeri arukrahe hugahie.
16 If you oppress the poor to make yourself rich, or if you're generous to the rich, you'll end up poor yourself.
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 Pay attention and listen to the words of the wise, and think carefully about my teachings—
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo kere kagesa antenka antahise nehunka, nagrama rempima hugamisuaza huo.
18 for it's good to keep them in mind so you can be ready to share them.
Na'ankure anankemo'a knare hu'neankinka kagu'afi erintenankeno ana kemo'a, kagitera me'ne'na kea hutere hugahane.
19 I'm explaining this to you today so you can trust in the Lord—yes, you!
Nagra menina rempi hunegamugu, nentahinka Ra Anumzamofonte kagranena kamentinti huo.
20 Haven't I written down for you thirty sayings of advice and wisdom?
Nagra 30'a knare kegaga krentegantenofina, kavumro kene, antahiza eri zamofo naneke kregaminoankinka,
21 They are to make it clear to you what's right and true, so you can give a truthful explanation to those who sent you.
ama ana kereti tamage kea rempi hunka antahinenka, iza'o tamage kegu'ma hugantenigenka e'nesamofona fatgo'are kenona ome asamigahane.
22 For you shouldn't steal from the poor just because they're poor; and you shouldn't crush those with limited means in court,
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 the Lord will plead their case, and he will take back whatever was stolen from them.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a, zamunte omane vahera zamahokeno zamazeri havizama hanaza vahe'mokizmia, zamazeri haviza hugahie.
24 Don't make friends with someone who gets upset easily; don't associate with angry people,
Arimpa hevava vahera rone huonto, ame huno rimpahe vahe'enena tagro oto,
25 in case you learn to be like them and make a mess of your life.
ru ana vahe zamavu'zamava enerisankeno, kukomo kazeriankna huno kagu'a kazeri haviza hugahie.
26 Don't shake hands and guarantee someone's debt,
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 for if you can't pay, why should your bed be taken away from beneath you?
Anama nofi'ma hu'nesaza zama apa osesanke'za miko zanka'ane, tafe'ma masinkama nemasesana zanena eri vagaregahaze.
28 Don't move ancient boundary markers that your forefathers put in place.
Tamagehe'mo'za ko'ma re'nenaza kanagi kana, akasi kantutretma rumofo mopa eri havia osiho.
29 If you see someone skilled in what they do, they'll work for kings and not for ordinary people.
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.
