Proverbs 28

1 The wicked run away even when no one is chasing them, but the good have the trusting boldness of lions.

Kefo zamavu zamava'ma nehazamokizmia, vahe'mo'za zamarotgo nosazanagi, kore nefraze. Hianagi fatgo zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, laionimo nehiankna hu'za hanaveti'za nemanize.

2 When a country is in rebellion, it has many rulers, but a ruler who is wise and knowledgeable provides strength and continuity.

Mago kumapima vahe'mo'ma mago rimpama hu'zama omanesigeno'a, rama'a kva vahe fore hugahie. Hianagi antahi'zane vahe'ene antahi ama' hu antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'nesigeno'a, maka zamo'a knare huno vugahie.

3 When someone poor oppresses the poor, it's like heavy rain that beats down the crops.

Amunte omane vahe'mo'ma, amunte'ma omane vahe'ma azeri havizama nehiazamo'a, e'i ranko aruno hozamofo eri haviza hiankna nehie.

4 People who reject the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law fight against them.

Kasegema ruhantagi vahe'mo'za, kefo avu'avaza'ma nehaza vahekura husga hunezmantaze. Hianagi kasegema nevaririza vahe'mo'za kefo vahe'mokizmia ha' renezmantaze.

5 Evil people understand nothing about justice, but those who follow the Lord understand it completely.

Kefo zamavu' zamava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, fatgo huno refkohu avu'ava zana antahi amara nosazanagi, Ra Anumzamofonku'ma nehakamo'za makazana antahi amara nehaze.

6 Better to be poor and have integrity than to be devious and rich.

Amunte omane vahe'ma mani'neno fatgoma huno mani'zamo'a, havi avu'avateti'ma feno vahe'ma mani'zana agatere'ne.

7 If you keep the law, you're a wise son, but if you keep bad company you shame your father.

Kasegema amage'ma ante mofavre'mofona, ama' antahiza agripina me'ne. Hianagi ne'zama nehana hu vahe'enema tragoteno manisia ne'mo'a, nefana ra agaze erimigahie.

8 Anyone who gets rich through charging interest and profiteering is only storing it up for someone who is kind to the poor.

Zagoma agrama trohu kazigati'ma ra zago agima ahentesia vahe'mofona, ana zagomo'a agri kupina omanegosianki, zamunte omane vahe'ma zamavesinte'za kegavama huzmantesaza vahe'mo'za erigahaze.

9 God hates the prayers of people who disregard the law.

Kasegema antahizanku'ma amagena hunemia vahe'mofonena, Ra Anumzamo'a agri nunamuma antahizankura agotenente.

10 Those who lead good people astray into evil ways will fall into their own traps, but the innocent will receive a good reward.

Iza'o fatgo vahe'ma avreno kefo avu'ava'ma hu kante'ma vanimo'a, agra'a asente'nesia kerifi tamigahie. Hianagi tamagema huno manisimo'a, knare'za erisanti haregahie.

11 The rich see themselves as wise, but poor people with insight see right through them.

Feno vahe'mo'a agra'agu'ma antahiana ama' antahi'zane vahe mani'noe huno hugahianagi, zamunte omane ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'za, amane agrira age'za antahi'za hugahaze.

12 When good people win, everyone celebrates, but when the wicked come to power, people hide.

Fatgo vahe'mo'ma rankuma'mofoma kegavama higeno'a, mika veamo'a rimpa fru higeno, tusi muse nehaze. Hianagi kefo vahe'mo'ma kegavama higeno'a, mika vahe'mo'a franekie.

13 People who hide their sins won't succeed, but those who confess and renounce their sins will be shown kindness.

Iza'o kumi'ama framakinimo'a, nomani'zama'afina knarera osugahie. Hianagi kumi'ama huama nehuno, atreno arukrahe huno esimofona, Anumzamo'a asunku hunteno azeri so'e huntegahie.

14 Blessed are those who always respect the Lord, but those who are stubborn end up in a lot of trouble.

Maka knama Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunteno agoragama mani vahe'mo'a, muse hugahie. Hianagi izano agu'amo'ma hanavema atisimo'a, hazenke erigahie.

15 A wicked ruler lording it over poor people is like a roaring lion or a charging bear.

Kefo avu'ava'ma nehia kva vahe'mo'a, zamunte'ma omane vahe'mokizmia, laionimo vahe aheno nenaku krafa hiankna nehigeno, beamo'ma vahe'ma aheno nenaku arotago nehianka nehie.

16 An unwise ruler thoroughly extorts his people, but one who refuses to profit illegally will live long.

Vahe'amofoma knama zami kva ne'mofona, ama' antahi'zana agripina omanene. Hianagi havigema huno fatgo osu kanteti'ma fenoma eri'zanku'ma avesrama huntesia kva ne'mo'a, za'zate manino vugahie.

17 Someone guilty of murder will go on running away from it until they die. Don't try and stop them.

Mago vahe'ma ahefri'nesia ne'moma, vahe'ma ahe fri'nesia antahintahimo'ma knama neminkeno, nontema mani so'e osu vanoma nehina, aza osu atrenkeno frino.

18 If you have integrity, you'll be kept safe, but if you live deviously, you'll fall.

Tamage avu'ava huno mani'zamo'a, hazenkefintira kagu vazigahie. Hianagi iza'o mani fatgoma huno'ma omanisimo'a, ame huno traka hugahie.

19 If you cultivate the land you'll have plenty of food, but if you chase fantasies you'll end up with nothing.

Hanavema atino eri'zama mopafima erisimofona, ne'zama'amo'a avitegahie. Hianagi iza'o agafa'ama omanezante'ma avaririsimo'a, amunte omane vahe manigahie.

20 If you're trustworthy, you'll be richly rewarded; but if you try to get rich quick, you won't go unpunished.

Tamagema huno hugahue nehiazama fatgo huno'ma nehia vahe'mo'a, rama'a asomu erigahie. Hianagi iza'o ame'ama huno feno vahe'ma maninaku'ma hanimo'a, hazenkefi ufregahie.

21 Showing favoritism isn't good, but some people will do wrong just for a piece of bread.

Magomofo kazigama nemanino magomofoma atre'zamo'a, knarera osu'ne. Hianagi mago'a vahe'mo'za breti ankra'are, kumi avu'avaza eri fore hugahaze.

22 Envious people are in a rush to get rich; they don't realize they'll end up poor.

Agraguke'ma antahi' vahe'mo'a, ame' huno feno vahe'ma mani'zanku agu'agesa nentahie. Hianagi henkama amunte omnesia zankura, keno antahino nosie.

23 Honest criticism is appreciated later far more than flattery.

Vahe'ma azeri fatgo hunaku azeri koneria ne'mo'a, vahe'mofoma masavenkema huzamante nera agatereneankino, henka rama'a vahe'mo'za agrikuke hugahaze.

24 A man who robs his father and mother, and says, “It's not a crime,” is one step away from becoming a murderer.

Iza'o nerera nefa zama kumzafama neseno kumira nosue nehimo'a, agra mikazama eri havizama nehia vahe'ene tragonete.

25 Greedy people stir up trouble, but those who trust in the Lord will be successful.

Agraguke'ma antahi vahe'mo'a, ha' azeri onetie. Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma amentinti nehanimo'a, nomani'zama'afina mani knare hugahie.

26 People who trust their own minds are foolish, but those who follow wise ways will be kept safe.

Iza'o agra'a antahi'zanku'ma knare hu'neanki'na amne hugahuema hanimo'a, neginagi vahekna nehie. Hianagi iza'o ama' antahi'zampima vanimo'a, knazana agateregahie.

27 If you give to the poor, you won't be in need; but if you look the other way, you'll have many curses.

Iza'o amunte omane vahe'ma amisimo'a, mago zankura upara osugahie. Hianagi iza'o ozamage vahe kna nehuno zamaza osanimo'a, rama'a kazusifi manigahie.

28 When the wicked come to power, people hide; but when they fall, the good do well.

Kefo vahe'mo'zama kvama mani'za kegavama hazageno'a, mika vahe'mo'za fra'nekize. Hianagi ana kefo kva vahe'zagama frizage'za, fatgo vahe'mo'za ome rama'a nehaze.
