< Ecclesiastes 10 >
1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the perfumer to send forth a stinking savour: [so] doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.
Mnanentake zama nentaza taferopima kosintamimo'zama fri'za mesu'za, kasri'za ana taferopima me'nea mnanentake'zana eri haviza hugahaze. Hagi e'ina hukna huno osi neginagi avu'ava zamo'a, knare antahi'zane knare agima vahe'mofoma amino husgama hunte'zana eri haviza nehie.
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
Knare agu'agesane vahe'mo'a knare avu'avaza nehigeno, havi agu'agesane vahe'mo'a, neginagi avu'avaza nehie.
3 Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one [that] he is a fool.
Neginagi vahe'mofona kama vania avu'avate negenka, e'i neginagi vahere hunka hugahane.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding allayeth great offences.
Hagi kvakamo'ma arimpama aheganteno kema kasanigenka, eri'zana atrenka ovuo. Fru hunka mani'nenka kvakamofo kema antahisankeno'a, mago'ane arimpa aheogantegahie.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
Hagi mago kefo avu'ava zama ama mopafima koana, ugagota kva vahe'mo'za eri'zana eri havizana nehaze.
6 folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
Neginagi vahera marerirfa eri'zanke nezami'za, feno vahera evurami'nea eri'za nezamize.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
Hagi mago zama koana, kazokazo eri'za vahe'mo'za hosi afu agumpi vano nehazage'za, ugagota kva vahe'mo'za kazokazo eri'za vahekna hu'za mopafi vano nehaze.
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a fence, a serpent shall bite him.
Mago vahemo'ma agra'ama kafinte'nesia kerifina agra'a uramigahie. Hagi korapama me'nesia have keginama ahe fragu'ma vazisanana anampintira osifavemo'a kamprigahie.
9 Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.
Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma havema frage eri'zama e'nerisigeno'a, ana havemo'a tamino hazenke amigahie. Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma zafama ape'ma nehanigeno'a, ana zafamo'a hazenkea amigahie.
10 If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Hagi osane'nenia sasumereti'ma eri'zama erisanana rama'a hankave atrenka eri'zana erigahane. Hianagi knare antahi'zama erinenia vahe'mo'a knare huno eri'zana erigahie.
11 If the serpent bite before it be charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.
Ko'ma osifavemo'ma vahe'ma ampritesigeno'ma ana osifavema azeri agazonema haniana, ana osifavema azeri agazonema hania vahe'mofo eri'zamo'a amnezankna hugahie.
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a vahekura asunku hunezamanteno knare mani'zankuke keaga nehie. Hianagi neginagi vahe'mo'a hazenke'za avreno nomani'zama'afima esiankege nehie.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
Neginagi vahe'mo'a neginagi kereti agafa huteno, neginagi avu'ava zanteti'ene kefo nanekereti'ene ome hu vagaregahie.
14 A fool also multiplieth words: [yet] man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
Naza henka fore hugahie mago vahe'mo'a antahino keno osu'neanagi, neginagi vahe'mo'a rama'a naneke huvava huno vugahie. Hagi henkama fore'ma hania zana iza asamigahie?
15 The labour of fools wearieth every one of them, for he knoweth not how to go to the city.
Neginagi vahe'mo'za eri'zana eri'sazanagi tusi zamavaresragu hugahaze. Na'ankure nozamiregama nevaza kana ke'za eri forera osugahaze.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
Mago osi mofavremo'ma kini manino kegavama hu'nesia mopafima nemanisaza kva vahe'mo'za nanterama ne'zama kre'za nene'za musema hanaza mopafi vahe'mota, razampi haviza hugahazanki kva hiho.
17 Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
Mareri vahe'mofo mofavremo'ma kinima manino kegavama hu'nesia mopafi kva vahe'mo'za kna fatagore neginagi osu'are nezama nenesaza mopafi vahe'mota muse hugahaze.
18 By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.
Eri'za e'ori feru vahe'mofo nomo'ma varivarima nehanigeno ko'ma eri so'ema osanigeno'a varivari huno nomofo agu'afi efreno eri haviza hugahie.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life: and money answereth all things.
Rama'a ne'zama kreno ne'zamo'a kiza zokagoma nehuno musenkasema huno mani'za avreno ne-enigeno, waini tima nezamo'a museza avreno neanagi, zagoretike makazana tro hugahane.
20 Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Antahizanka'afina kini nera antahi havizana huonto. Nemsampinka maninenka feno vahera huhavizana huonto. Na'ankure osi namamo'a ana nanekeka'a erino ana vahera ome asmi'nigura ontahi'nane.
