Proverbs 18

1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeks and intermeddles with all wisdom.

Agra'aku'ma nemanisia vahe'mo'a, agraguke agesa nentahie. Knare antahizama eri'nea vaheku'enena ana ne'mo'a avesiozmantegahie.

2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Neginagi vahe'mo'a ama' antahintahima erizankura, musena osugosie. Hianagi agra'a antahi'zanke hu'netreno manigahie.

3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with dishonour reproach.

Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, mago'a vahekura antahi amane'za neseno, zamagi'a eri haviza nehuno, zamagaze erinezamie.

4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo agipinti ke'mo'a, tiru kna hu'ne. Hianagi mika knare antahizamo'a, timo kerifinti aviteno herafiramino neviankna nehie.

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

Hazenkema huteno keagahu trate'ma otisigenka, hazenkema hu'nesia vahera aza osutfa huo. Hagi fatgo vahe'ma keagafima oti'nenigenka havigema huntenka azeri atre'zankura kva huo.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for strokes.

Neginagi vahe'mofo kemo'a, hafra hu'za eri fore nehigeno, ana ke'zmimo'a kanonkevegu meme nehie.

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

Neginagi vahe'mofo agi'mo'a, havi ke'agage nehanigeno, krifu agra'a avufare anaginente'ankna nehiakino, agrira azeri haviza hugahie.

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Vahe agenkema hu'zamo'a, haga ne'zankna hu'neankino, ame huno vahe agu'afina ufregahie.

9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great destroyer.

Zaferina omane feru vahe'mo'a, maka'zama eri havizama nehia vahe'mofo nefu manine.

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runs into it, and is safe.

Ra Anumzamofo agimo'a hanavenentake vihugna hu'neankino, fatgo vahe'mo'za agritega zamagare'za nevazageno, zamagu nevazie.

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.

Feno vahe'mofo fenomo'a ra kuma zmimofo vihugna hu'neakino, kegava hurantenkenta knare huta manigahune hu'za nentahize.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

Avufga ra hu'zamo'a, henka hazenkefi kavrentena manigahane. Hianagi knare hunka anteraminka mani'zamo'a, kazerisga huno knare kagi kamigahie.

13 He that answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Iza'o kema antahi anke ore'neno ke'nonama hanimo'a, agra neginagi avu'ava nehuno agaze zana agra'a erigahie.

14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

Krima eri'nesimo'ma ana zankuma antahintahi hakarema osaniana, ana krifina amane manino vugahie. Hianagi vahe'mofo antahintahimoma havizama haniana, iza knarera huno manigahie?

15 The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

Maka'zama antahi ankere vahe'mo'a, knare antahintahima erinakura muse nehie. Knare vahe'mo'a agesazofo huteno nemanie.

16 A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

Musezama eri'neno esimofona, kafana anagisigeno keagama hukuma hania rankva nera negesigeno, keaga humigahie.

17 He that is first in his own cause seems just; but his neighbour comes and searches him.

Keagafima otinesia ne'ma ese'ma keagama refkoma huno kesiana tamage hugahazanagi, anantema antahigesia ne'mo, hazenke'a keno erifore hugahie.

18 The lot causes contentions to cease, and parts between the mighty.

Taisi zokagoma re'zamo ha' frama hu'zana eri fru nehuno, hanave netremoke'ma ha'ma hu'zana zanazeri netane.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

Kagrama negafu'ma arimpama azeri havizama hu'nenana ne'ma avare'zamo'a, rankumamofo hanavenentake vihu hunteankna huno negafu'ma avare'zamo'a amuho hu'ne. Ha' frama hu'zamo'a, rone ka'a hanavenentake kafa erigino rentroko huno, refko hiankna hugahie.

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Knare kema kagipintima atiramisuno'a, knare ne'zama nankeno kamuma hiankna huno kaza hugahie. Fatgo kema hanana kemo'a, kazeri knare hugahie.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Kekamo'a vahera zamazeri so'e nehuno, zamazeri havizana hugahie. Hagi kema huzantema avesima nentesimo'a, ana ke'amoma rentesia raga'a agra'a erigahie.

22 Whoso finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour of the LORD.

Iza'o a'ma hakreno erinesimo'a, knare'za hakreno eri'neankino, Ra Anumzamo'a avesinente.

23 The poor uses entreaties; but the rich answers roughly.

Amunte omane vahe'mo'a, asumaraginteno azama hanigu meme nehianagi, feno vahe'mo'a, hanave kefinti kenona nehie.

24 A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

Rama'a ronekamo'a kazeri haviza hugahianagi, tamage ronekamo'a negafuma nehiaza huno tava'onkare manigahie.
