Proverbs 23
1 When you sit down for a meal with a ruler, look carefully at what is placed before you,
Rankva ne'ene kave negahane hu'za kagima hanagenka umani'nenka ne'zama nekura, antahi so'e hutenka kva hunka ne'zana no.
2 and cut down if you have a big appetite.
Rama'a ne'zama ne' vahe'moka, kagraka'a knankenofi kazinuti taga hiankna nehane.
3 Don't be greedy for his fancy food, for it's offered with deceptive motives.
Rankva ne'mofo ne'zamo'a, kasanea osino. Na'ankure ana kaveteti, regavatga hugahie.
4 Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich—be wise enough not to bother!
Feno vahe'ma mani'zankura maragu'zatinka kazeri havizana osunka, ama' antahi'za e'nerigeno feno vahe'ma mani antahi'zamo'a kazeri havizana osino.
5 It disappears in the blink of an eye, suddenly growing wings and flying off into the sky like an eagle.
Kavuma keramage'ma hanankna huno, feno zankamo'a fanane hugahie. Na'ankure agekona eri atareno tumpa namamo hareno hampompi mareriankna huno, afe hugahie.
6 Don't accept meal invitations from miserly people; don't be greedy for their fancy food,
Veva osu ne'mo'ma ne'za emeno huno kagi hania nezantera ovuo. Knare ne'za krentesia nezantera, ksanegura osuo.
7 for what they're thinking inside is what they really are. They say, “Come on, eat and drink!”—but in their minds they don't really care about you.
Na'ankure agra e'inahukna ne'kino, nama'a mizana hugahie antahintahi hakare nehuno, ne'zana nenenka tina no hugahianagi, agri agu'amo'a, kagri'enena omane'ne.
8 You'll vomit up the little pieces you've eaten, and your kind words of appreciation will be wasted.
Anama ne'nana ne'zana amu'atinetrenka, nanekema hu so'e hunte'nana zamo'a, amanezankna hugahie.
9 Don't talk to stupid people because they'll ridicule your wise words.
Neginagi vahe'ma mani'nenafina keaga osuo, na'ankure ama' antahi'zanteti hanana kea, huhaviza hugahaze.
10 Don't move ancient boundary markers, and don't encroach on fields belonging to orphans,
Tamagehe'mo'za koma re'ne'naza kanagi kana akasi kantugma osuge, megusa mofavremofo mopa kavunofi ahenka e'orio.
11 for their Protector is powerful and he will plead their case against you.
Na'ankure zamahoma ke'nia Nera hankave Ne' mani'neankino, tamagrira keaga Agra'a hurmantegahie.
12 Focus your mind on instruction; listen intently to words of knowledge.
Kagu'areti kavumro kea nentahinka, antahizama kami kere kagesa antenka antahio.
13 Don't keep from disciplining your children—a beating won't kill them.
Mofavrema azeri fatgoma huzankura, korera osuo. Kagrama kanoma amisanana ofrigahie.
Azeri fatgo hu kanoma ami'zamo'a, fri vahe kumapima vuzankura agu amena agu'vazigahane. (Sheol h7585)
15 My son, if you think wisely then I'll be happy;
Mofavre'nimoka ama' antahi'zama erisanana, Nagri nagu'amo'a muse nehuno,
16 I'll be delighted when you say what's right.
kagipinti'ma fatgo ke'ma antahi'sugeno'a, mika nagu'amo'a muse hugahie.
17 Don't think enviously of sinners, but always remember to honor the Lord,
Kumi vahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmavakura kegasanea osuo. Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonku kore'ma hunteno agorga'ama manizanku maka kna, kagesa antahio.
18 for there's definitely a future for you, and your hope will not be crushed.
Henkama fore hania zanku'ma tamage hunka kagesa nentahinka, amuha'ma nehana zamo'a amnezanknara osugahie.
19 Pay attention, my son, and be wise; make sure your mind concentrates on following the right way.
Mofavre'nimoka, ke'ni'a antahinka knare antahi'zana erinka, fatgo kante kagu'a antenka vuo.
20 Don't join in with people who drink too much wine or who stuff themselves with meat.
Rama'a aka'tima nene'za neginagi nehaza vahe'ene, rama'a zagagafamofo ame'are'ma nehaza vahe'enena, trago oteho.
21 For people who get drunk and overeat lose all they've got, and they spend so much time dozing that all they have left to wear is rags.
Aka tinte vahe'ene rama'a ne'zama ne' vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahe manigahaze. Hagi zamavu'ma mase vava vahera, kukena zamimo'a tagato tagatu hugahie.
22 Pay attention to your father, and don't disregard your mother when she's old.
Kasema kante'nea negafa ke'a nentahinka, negrera'ma tvavamaresigenka kefenkamia otro.
23 Invest in truth—and don't sell it! Invest in wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
Tamage kema mizase'nenunka zagorera otro, ama' antahizanki, huogu'ma rempima hugamisiazanki, antahi'ama huno refkoma hu'zana erio.
24 Children who do right make their fathers very happy; a wise son brings joy to his father.
Fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia mofavremofo nefa'a, tusi'a muse hugahie. Hagi ama' antahi'za eri'nea mofavre'agura, nefa'a muse huntegahie.
25 Make your father and mother happy; bring joy to her who gave birth to you.
E'inahu kavukva hunka negrera kfama azeri muse nehunka, ksegante'nea negrerana azeri muse huo.
26 My son, give me your undivided attention, and cheerfully follow my example.
Mofavre'nimoke, kagu'tumoka'a Nagri nenaminka, kvuma ke'sanana, Nagri navu'navate kento.
27 A prostitute is like being trapped in a pit; an immoral woman is like getting stuck a narrow well,
Monko avu'ava'ma huno Savri'ma huno vanoma nehia a'mo'a, murigankna higeno, vema ante'nea a'mo'ma savrima huno vanoma nehia a'mo'a, osi tinkerigna huno urami'neankino, ana tinkerifima uramisaza vahe'mo'za haviza hugahaze.
28 Like a robber, she lies in wait ready to ambush men and make more of them unfaithful to their wives.
Ana a'mo'a kumza vahe'kna huno kazeri savri hunaku kaveganteno mani'neankino, vene'nea azeri savri hanigeno, mani fatgo huno a'are'ma omani'zamo'a ra hugahie.
29 Who's in trouble? Who's in pain? Who's arguing? Who's complaining? Who's injured for no reason? Who's got bloodshot eyes?
Iza hazenkefina mani'vava higeno, iza asu zampina nemanie? Iza ke hakarea nehigeno, iza hara azeri o'netie? Iza avufamo hazenkea erigeno namuna nere? Iza avumo korankera nehie?
30 —those who spend a long time drinking wine, those who are always trying some new cocktail.
E'i anazama fore'ma nehiana zazate'ma aka tima nenaza vahe'ene, hanave waini tima tagi havia hu'za ne'naza vahe'tmimofonte fore nehie.
31 Don't let the look of wine tempt you—how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smooth it feels as it goes down.
Atregeno wainimo'ma korankrema nehuno, agrema'amo taferopinti krakra huno mrenerino, knankente'ma fruma huno urami'nia zamo'a, kazeri kasanea osino.
32 In the end it bites like a serpent, it stings like a snake.
Hianagi henka'a osifavemo kreankna nehuno, ha' osifavemo kamprino avuatgazama'a regatati huganteankna hugahie.
33 You'll hallucinate, seeing strange things, and your confused mind will make you say all kinds of craziness.
Kavumo'a ruzahu ruzahu'za negenkeno, antahintahi kamo'a savri nehina, kema hanana kemo'a savri hugahie.
34 You'll stumble around like you're on the rolling ocean, you'll be tossed about like someone lying down at the top of a ship's mast, saying,
Hagi e'inama nehanana, hageri amu'nompi me'nea ventefi mase'nankeno kranto kranto huno kazeri tore tore hiankna nehuno, ventemofo seli rente zafare mani'nankeno, zahomo kavregantugama hiankna hugahane.
35 “People punched me, but it didn't hurt me; they beat me, but I didn't feel a thing. I've got to get up because I need another drink.”
Anage hugahane, nahazanagi nata onkrine hunka nehunka, kanona namizanagi antahina kena osu'no'e hugahane. Hanki nagrama ete otisuna, mago'ane ana tina negahue nehane.
