Proverbs 15

1 When people are angry with you, reply to them gently, and it will calm them; but if you reply harshly to them, it causes them to become more angry.

Akohenka antefru hunka kenona hanana zamo, rimpa akahe'zana eri'amane hugahie. Hianagi hakrugema hanana zamo'a, rimpahe'zana azeri otigahie.

2 When wise [people] speak [MTY], it causes those who hear what they say to want to know more; foolish people continually say [MTY] what is foolish.

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo agipintira, knare antahi'za e'nige'za vahe'mo'za antahi muse hugahaze. Hianagi neginagi vahe'mofo agipintira, neginagi kemo akaha huneramie.

3 Yahweh sees [MTY] [what is happening] everywhere; he observes what bad [people do] as well as what good [people do].

Ra Anumzamo'a mika kaziga kefo vahete'ene, knare vahetera avua keteno nemanie.

4 Those who speak [MTY] kindly to people are [like] [MET] trees [whose fruit gives] life; speaking what is false causes people to (despair/feel very discouraged).

Fru kema hu'zamo'a vahe'mofo asimu ami zafagna hu'ne. Hianagi akrehe akrehe kema hu'zamo'a, vahe'mofo agu'a ahenefri.

5 Foolish children despise their parents when their parents correct/discipline them; wise children accept it.

Neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a nefa'ma azeri fatgo hiankea nontahie. Hianagi iza'o azeri fatgoma hiankema antahimo'a, knare antahi'za e'nerie.

6 There are many valuable things in the houses of righteous [people]; the wealth of wicked [people] causes them to have troubles/difficulties.

Fatgo vahe'mokizmia nozamifina, fenozamo avinete. Hianagi kefo vahe'mo'za erisaza mizana, hazenke'za erigahaze.

7 What wise [people] teach [MTY] causes others to know much more, [but] foolish people cannot teach others what is useful.

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za, antahi'zana vahera nezamize. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'za, anahura osugahaze.

8 Yahweh detests the sacrifices that are offered by wicked [people]; what delights/pleases him very much are the prayers of righteous/good [people].

Kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama, Ra Anumzamofonte'ma Kresramanama vunentaza zankura, agonete. Hianagi fatgo vahe'mo'zama haza nunamunku, Agra muse nehie.

9 Yahweh hates/detests the behavior of wicked [people], but he loves those who always do what is righteous/just/fair.

Kefo vahe'mo'ma hia avu'ava zankura, Ra Anumzamo'a agotenente. Hianagi fatgo avu'ava'ma huzanku'ma kazigazima hia vahe'mofona, Ra Anumzamo'a avesinente.

10 Those who do what is wrong will be severely punished; those who do not want to be corrected will die.

Fatgo kamofoma amefi humisimo'a, tusi'a hazenke erigahie. Iza'o azeri fatgohu kemofoma avesrama huntesimo'a, frigahie.

11 Yahweh knows [what is happening in] the place where dead people [DOU] are, so he certainly knows [RHQ] what people are thinking. (Sheol h7585)

Fri' vahe'mofo kuma'mo'ene fri'zamo'a, Ra Anumzamofo avurera amate me'neankino, tagutumotia keno antahino hu'ne! (Sheol h7585)

12 Some people do not want to be corrected; they never go to wise [people to seek good advice from them].

Veganokno kema hu vahe'mo'za, azeri fatgoma hanimofona avesra hunenteno, ama' antahi'zane vahe'mofontera aza hinogura urava'o osugahie.

13 When people are happy, they have smiles on their faces; but when they are sad, [by looking at their faces we can see that] they are sad.

Krimpamo'ma musema hu'nesigeno'a, kavu'gosafintira knare huno kizanki'za hugahie. Hianagi karimpamo'ma musema osu'nesigeno'a, kavugosamo'a rugaririgahie.

14 Those who have good sense want to learn more; foolish people [MTY] are very satisfied with being foolish/ignorant.

Ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'za antahi'zama eri'zankura zamaganete. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mofona havi kemo'a, ne'zama'agna hugahie.

15 Those who are oppressed constantly have difficulties, but those who (OR, if they) are happy, [it is as though] [MET] they are having a big feast every day.

Zamunte omane vahe'mo'za mika zupa maniza'zmifina tusi'a amuho nehu'za maragu'zanetize. Hianagi muse arimpane manisimo'a, ne'zane tine neneno muse huvava hugahie.

16 Being poor and revering Yahweh is better than being rich and having a lot of troubles.

Osi'a fenoma anteneta Ra Anumzamofonku'ma kore'ma hunte'nuna zamo'a, rama'a fenoza ante'neta hazenkema erizana agaterene.

17 Eating meals with [people whom you] love and having only vegetables to eat is better than eating with [people who] hate [each other and] having lots of good meat [to eat].

Vahe'ma avesinentenka hozafi kamo'ma osia refko hunka ne'zamo'a, ra bulimakao afu'ma ahegino rimpagnanema refkoma huno ne'zana erifru nehie.

18 Those who quickly become angry cause arguments/quarreling, but those who do not quickly become angry cause people to act peacefully.

Ame huno'ma rimpama ahe vahe'mo, haframa hu'zana eri fore nehie. Hianagi akohenoma rimpa fru huno mani vahe'mo'a haframa hu'zana erifru nehie.

19 Lazy people constantly [have difficulties] [MET]; [it is as though they are] walking through thorns; but those who are honest and hard-working [will have few difficulties; it is as though they are walking] on a level highway [MET].

Eri'za e'ori feru'ma mani vahe'mofo kamo'a, ave'ave trazampima neviankna hu'ne. Hianagi mani fatgo hu'za mani vahe'mokizmi kamo'a ranka me'nege'za nevaze.

20 Children who are wise cause their parents to be happy; it is foolish children who despise their parents.

Ama' antahi'zama me'nea mofavremofo nefa'a, muse nehie. Hianagi neginagi ne'mo'a, nererana kefenkaminetre.

21 Foolish people are happy to [continually] act foolishly; those who have good sense do what is right.

Antahi'zama'a omane vahe'mo'a, neginagi avu'ava zankura muse hugahie. Hianagi ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'a, knare zanke nehuno, fatgo kante nevie.

22 If there is no one to give us good advice, we will not accomplish what we are planning to do; but when we have many [good] advisors, we will succeed.

Knare antahi'zama vahepinti e'orinenka mago'a zama retro'ma hunaku'ma hananana, ana zamo'a forera osugahie. Hianagi rama'a knare antahintahima eritenka, retro'ma hanana zamo'a, efore hugahie.

23 People rejoice when they are able to reply well to what others have asked them; [truly], it is very delightful to be able to say the right thing at the right time.

Fatgo huno'ma kenonama hanimo'a, muse hugahie. Hagi kna fatgore'ma huga kema hania kemo'a, knare'zantfa hugahie.

24 Wise people walk on a road that leads up to a long life; they do not walk on a road that leads down to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'ma asimu erisia kamo'a anagamu marenerino, fri vahe kumapima uramizankura kegava hunente. (Sheol h7585)

25 Yahweh tears down the houses of proud [people], but he protects the property of widows.

Ra Anumzamo'a avufama eri antesgama hanimofona nomani'zama'a, eri haviza hugahie. Hianagi kento a'mofo fenoma'ane nonkuma'a, kegava huntegahie.

26 Yahweh detests what wicked [people] are thinking [about doing]; [but] when people say what is kind, he considers those words to be pure.

Kefo avu'avaza'ma hu antahi'zama retroma huzankura, Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huno agonete. Hianagi avusese hu'nea kema huzankura, Agra muse nehie.

27 Those who try hard to get money by acting dishonestly cause trouble for their family; those who refuse to accept bribes will live [for a long time].

Iza'o mika'za rehatri huno nagrike zanema hu' vahe'mo'a, hazenke erino naga'afina efregahie. Hianagi havi kazigati'ma masavema huno mizama sezanku'ma avesrama huntesimo'a, knare huno manigahie.

28 Righteous/Good [people] think carefully before they answer [what others ask them]; wicked [people] very quickly say what is evil.

Fatgo agu'ane vahe'mo'a agesa antahiteno, kenona nehie. Hanki kefo vahe'mofo agipintira, kefoge atineramie.

29 Yahweh does not listen [MTY] to what wicked [people request him to do]; he listens to righteous [people] when they pray.

Ra Anumzamo'a kefo zamavu'zmava'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmirera, afete nemanie. Hianagi fatgo vahe'mokizmi nunamunte, agesa anteno antahinezamie.

30 If people have a smile on their faces, it makes them/others happy, and [when people hear] good news, it refreshes their spirits [MTY].

32 If people refuse to listen [when others try] to correct them, they are despising/hurting themselves; those who (pay attention/heed) when [others] warn them (become wiser/acquire good sense).

Iza'o azeri fatgo hu kema nehanigeno ontahisimo'a, agra'a azeri haviza nehie. Hianagi iza'o azeri fatgo hu kema nehinkeno, antahisimo'a, ama' antahintahi erigahie.

33 If you revere Yahweh, you will learn how to become wise, but [only] after you become humble will [people] honor you.

Ra Anumzamofonku kore'ma hunteno agoragama mani avu'avazamo, vahe'mofona knare antahintahia rempi hunemie. Hagi kagrama anteraminka manisunka, rankagia erigahane.
