Proverbs 24
1 Don't be jealous of evil people; don't long to spend time with them,
Havi vahe'mo'ma hania avu'ava zankura kegasane huge, ana vahe'enema tragotenka mani'zankura, kagesa ontahitfa huo.
2 for they think up cruel plans and discuss how to cause trouble.
Na'ankure antahiza zamifina vahe'ma hazenke'zami antahi'zamo avitegeno, zamagipinti'ma atineramia ke'mo'a, hazenke erinte kege nehaze.
3 A house is built by wisdom; its foundation is made secure through understanding.
Knare antahi'zanteti nona neginka, ama' antahi'zanteti eri hanavetigahane.
4 Its rooms are filled by knowledge with all kinds of valuable and beautiful objects.
Antahi'zama eri'nenanteti, knare fenozane zago'amo'ma mareri zantamina nonka'afina erinte avitegahane.
5 If you have wisdom, you are strong; if you have knowledge, your power increases,
Ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'za rama'a hanave eri'zageno, antahi'zama eri vahe'mo'za mago'ane hanavea e'nerize.
6 for with wise guidance you can go to war; you will be victorious by having many good advisors.
Ha'ma hu'zante'ma ama' antahi'zama hunka e'orinesunka, hatera ovuo. Na'ankure rama'a vahe'mo'zama hate'ma vanana kavumro'ma kantesagenka, hara azeri agateregahane.
7 Wisdom goes over the heads of stupid people; they have nothing to contribute when important matters are discussed.
Knare antahi'zamo'a mesga hu'neanki'za, neginagi vahe'mo'za erigara osu'nazanki'za, rankumamofo kafante'ma kva vahe'mo'zama atruma hu'zama kema hanafina, mago kea osugahie.
8 Anyone who plans to do evil will be seen as a troublemaker.
Kefo avu'ava'zama hu antahi'zama retro'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmigura, hazenke vahere hu'za nehaze.
9 Plans thought up by stupid people are sinful. Everyone hates those who are scornful of others.
Neginagi avu'ava'ma hu'zama retro'ma hanazana, kumi nehaze. Vahe'ma huhavizama hunezmantea vahe'mofona, vahe'mo'za zamavesra hu'za zamagote'nentaze.
10 If you give up in times of trouble, it shows how weak you are.
Knazampima unefrenka hanavema otisankeno'a, hanaveka'a omanegosie.
11 Rescue those who are being led away to be executed; save those who are stumbling on their way to be slaughtered.
Havigema hu'za zamahe frinaku'ma hanaza vahera, zamaza huta zamavareho. Hagi zamahe frinaku hanaza vahera, zamaza huta zamavareho.
12 If you say, “Look, we didn't know anything about this,” don't you think the God who judges your motives will see what's happening? He who watches over you knows, and he will pay people back for what they've done.
Antahi'nesunka ontahi'noe hunka havigea osuo. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a kagu'a kageno antahino nehuno, kagu'a kegava hunegantea ne'mo'a, kagu'a kageno antahino osugahie hunka osuo. Miko vahe'mokizmia zamagrama hu'nesaza zamavu'zmavate anteno mizana zamamigahie.
13 My son, eating honey is good for you; the honeycomb tastes sweet.
Mofavre'nimoka tume rima'a no, na'ankure knare hu'neankino, kagitera haga hugahie.
14 In the same way, you should know that wisdom is good for you; if you find it, there will be a future for you, and your hope will not be crushed.
E'i anahukna huno, ama' antahi'zamo'a kagu'afina haga hugahie. Hagi hakenkama erifore'ma hanankeno'a, henkama erigahue hunka amuha'ma nehana zamo'a, amnezanknara osugahie.
15 Don't be like a criminal waiting to ambush the home of good people; don't attack the place where they live.
Kefo vahe'moka fatgo vahe'mo'zama nemaniza nontera, zamazeri haviza hunakura kva hunka omanio. Hagi fatgo vahe'mo'za nemaniza kumara eri havizana osuo.
16 Those who do right may fall down seven times, and still get up again; but the wicked are brought down by disaster.
Na'ankure fatgo vahe'mo'za, 7ni'a zupa evuramiga hazanagi, ete otigahaze. Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahetema mago hazenkema esuno'a, eme zamazeri haviza hugahie.
17 Don't celebrate when your enemies fall; don't be glad when they trip up,
Ha'ma renegantesaza vahe'ma evuramisagenka, musena osuo. Hagi tanafa'ma hanaza zankura, musena osuo.
18 otherwise when the Lord sees it, he'll be unhappy with you and won't punish your enemies as he planned.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana'ma hanankeno'a, negageno musena hunoganteno arimpahe zama'a anamofontetira eritregahie.
19 Don't get all upset over the wicked, or be jealous of those who do wrong,
Kefo vahe'mofo avu'avakura korera hunka antahintahi hakarea nosunka, ana havi zamavu zamavakura kegasanea osuo.
20 for evil people have no future—the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
Na'ankure kefo zamavu'zava'ene vahe'mokizmia, henkama knare huzama mani'saza mani'zana omanesige'za, lamu tavi'mo asu hiankna hugahaze.
21 My son, honor the Lord and the king, and don't join those who are rebellious,
Mofavre'nimoka, Ra Anumzamofone kinimofonena koro huneznantenka zanagorga nemaninka, ha'ma reznantesaza vahe'enena magopina tragoteta omaniho.
22 for disaster will suddenly fall on them. Who knows how the Lord and king will punish them?
Na'ankure e'inahu vahetera, tusi'a hazenke zamo ame huno egahie. Ra Anumzamo'ene Kini ne'mo enema zamisaza knazana, mago'mo'e huno ontahitfa hugahie.
23 These are more sayings of the wise: Showing favoritism when passing judgment is wrong.
Ama' antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'mo'za amanahu ke hugahaze. Nanekema trate refkoma hanuza magomofonkukera osugahaze.
24 Those who tell the guilty, “You're innocent,” will be cursed by the people and hated by the nation,
Iza'o kefozama hu'nesia neku'ma, kefozana osune huno'ma hanige'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za anagema hania nekura, huhaviza hunentesageno, kokankoka vahe'mo'za antahi haviza huntegahaze.
25 while those who convict the guilty will be appreciated, and will receive a rich blessing.
Hu'neanagi iza'zo kefoza hu'nesia neku'ma, kefoza hu'ne hu'zama huama'ma hanamo'za, rama'a asomu eri'za rama'aza antegahaze.
26 An honest answer is a kiss on the lips.
Tamagema huno ke nonama hu'zamo'a, e'i knare kvate knampaka'amo kanukino kantako huganteankna hugahie.
27 Do the work you need to do outside first, then prepare and sow your fields, and only after that start building your house.
Kotazana hozama antesanaza retro hunka hoza antetenka, henka nonka'a kigahane.
28 Don't testify against your neighbors without having a good reason, and don't tell lies.
Tava'onka'are'ma nemanisimofoma trate'ma kegagama hunentezama, kenana zanku nehazafi huama huo hanagenka, havigea hunka hazenkema osu'nesia zankura, hazenke hu'ne huonto.
29 Don't say to yourself, “I'm going to do to him what he did to me! I'll pay him back for what he's done!”
Hagi zamagrama hunantesaza zana nona hu'na huzamantegahue hunka osuge, mago'mo'ma havizama hugantesiana, nona hu'na havizana huntegahue hunka osuo.
30 I walked past the field of a lazy man, past a vineyard of someone with no sense.
Nagra feru ne'mofo hozafine antahintahi'a omane ne'mofo waini hozafi agatere'na nevu'na koana,
31 It was all overgrown with thorns, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall had fallen down.
ave've trazamo'ene hozafi inozamo hageno ana hoza refitegeno, have keginama hugagi'nea zamo'a fraguvazirami'ne.
32 As I looked I thought about it, and what I saw taught me a lesson:
Ana zama nege'na nagesama nentahugeno'a, mago'aza rempi hunami'ne.
33 You may say, “Please, just a little more sleep, a little longer snooze, a little more folding of the arms to rest”—
Osi'agna nagra navura masehimarege, osi'agna masege, osi'agna nazana anamagi'na manisga huge'ma hanugeno'a,
34 and poverty will attack you like a robber, destitution like an armed warrior.
musufa vahe'mo'za mika fenozmi kumzafa sage'za, mika zazmimo'a ame huno vagaresige'za, zamunte omane vahe maniankna hugahaze.
