Proverbs 24

1 Do not envy evil people; do not desire to associate with them,

Havi vahe'mo'ma hania avu'ava zankura kegasane huge, ana vahe'enema tragotenka mani'zankura, kagesa ontahitfa huo.

2 because they are [constantly] thinking about acting violently, and whenever they speak [MTY], they talk about (causing trouble/hurting someone).

Na'ankure antahiza zamifina vahe'ma hazenke'zami antahi'zamo avitegeno, zamagipinti'ma atineramia ke'mo'a, hazenke erinte kege nehaze.

3 People make good houses (OR, families) by doing what is wise, and they make their houses (OR, families) strong by [heeding] good advice.

Knare antahi'zanteti nona neginka, ama' antahi'zanteti eri hanavetigahane.

4 By using good sense, [they are able to buy] valuable and beautiful things and put them in the rooms of their houses.

Antahi'zama eri'nenanteti, knare fenozane zago'amo'ma mareri zantamina nonka'afina erinte avitegahane.

5 Being wise is better than being strong/powerful; those who know [many things can accomplish more] than those who are [very] strong.

Ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'za rama'a hanave eri'zageno, antahi'zama eri vahe'mo'za mago'ane hanavea e'nerize.

6 Leaders can fight battles if they have wise advisors, and they win those battles if they have 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 Foolish people cannot understand wise sayings/talk; at public meetings they are not [able to] say anything [that is useful].

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 Those who are [always] planning to do evil things will be called troublemakers.

Kefo avu'ava'zama hu antahi'zama retro'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmigura, hazenke vahere hu'za nehaze.

9 It is sinful to plan to do foolish things, and people hate those who make fun of [everything that is good].

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 [act as though] you are helpless when you have troubles, you are [truly very] weak.

Knazampima unefrenka hanavema otisankeno'a, hanaveka'a omanegosie.

11 [If it is unjustly decided] that someone must be executed, [try hard to] rescue them [DOU].

Havigema hu'za zamahe frinaku'ma hanaza vahera, zamaza huta zamavareho. Hagi zamahe frinaku hanaza vahera, zamaza huta zamavareho.

12 If you say, “I did not know anything about it, [so (it is not my concern/I did not try to help him)],” remember that God knows what we have done, and he knows what we were thinking [IDM, RHQ], and he will certainly [RHQ] repay us as we deserve for what we have done or for not doing what we should have 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 child/son, eat honey, because it is good [for you]; the honey that drips from honeycombs tastes [very] sweet.

Mofavre'nimoka tume rima'a no, na'ankure knare hu'neankino, kagitera haga hugahie.

14 Similarly, being wise is good for your soul; if you become wise, you will be [happy in] the future, and [God] will certainly [do for you what you are] confidently expecting him to do [LIT].

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 Do not be like wicked people who [hide and] wait to break into the houses of righteous/good [people] and rob/steal things.

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 [Even if] good people fall down seven/many times, they [always] stand/get up again, but when a disaster happens to wicked [people], it ruins/destroys them.

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 Do not be happy when something bad happens to one of your enemies; do not rejoice when he stumbles and falls,

Ha'ma renegantesaza vahe'ma evuramisagenka, musena osuo. Hagi tanafa'ma hanaza zankura, musena osuo.

18 because Yahweh will know what you are thinking, and he will not like it, and [as a result] he will not punish that enemy of yours.

Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana'ma hanankeno'a, negageno musena hunoganteno arimpahe zama'a anamofontetira eritregahie.

19 Do not become angry/upset about those who do what is evil, and do not [SYN] envy them,

Kefo vahe'mofo avu'avakura korera hunka antahintahi hakarea nosunka, ana havi zamavu zamavakura kegasanea osuo.

20 because [nothing good] will happen to wicked people; they are [like] a lamp that will soon be extinguished [MET].

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 child/son, revere Yahweh and [also] honor the king, and do not associate with people who want to rebel against either of them,

Mofavre'nimoka, Ra Anumzamofone kinimofonena koro huneznantenka zanagorga nemaninka, ha'ma reznantesaza vahe'enena magopina tragoteta omaniho.

22 because those people will suddenly experience disasters; and no one knows [RHQ] what great disasters that God or the king can cause to happen to 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 Here are more things that wise [people] have said: It is wrong for judges to decide matters unfairly [IDM].

Ama' antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'mo'za amanahu ke hugahaze. Nanekema trate refkoma hanuza magomofonkukera osugahaze.

24 If they say to people who are guilty, “You (are innocent/have not done something that is wrong),” [even] people in other nations will curse and despise them,

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 but if judges say that guilty people must be punished, things will go well for those judges, and (they will receive blessings/God will bless them).

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 Those who answer others honestly show that they are truly their friends [IDM].

Tamagema huno ke nonama hu'zamo'a, e'i knare kvate knampaka'amo kanukino kantako huganteankna hugahie.

27 First, do the work [that needs to be done] outside [your house], and prepare your fields, [and then plant things], and after you finish doing that, build your house.

Kotazana hozama antesanaza retro hunka hoza antetenka, henka nonka'a kigahane.

28 [In the courtroom] do not testify against someone when you have no reason to do that, and do not [try to] deceive [people] by what you say [MTY].

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 Do not say, “I will do to him what he did to me; I will pay him back for [the bad things that] he did to me.”

Hagi zamagrama hunantesaza zana nona hu'na huzamantegahue hunka osuge, mago'mo'ma havizama hugantesiana, nona hu'na havizana huntegahue hunka osuo.

30 One day I walked by the vineyards of a lazy man, a man who did not have good sense.

Nagra feru ne'mofo hozafine antahintahi'a omane ne'mofo waini hozafi agatere'na nevu'na koana,

31 I was surprised to see that the fields were full of all kinds of thorny bushes, and the stone wall [around the garden] had (collapsed/fallen down).

ave've trazamo'ene hozafi inozamo hageno ana hoza refitegeno, have keginama hugagi'nea zamo'a fraguvazirami'ne.

32 When I saw that, I thought about it, and I learned this:

Ana zama nege'na nagesama nentahugeno'a, mago'aza rempi hunami'ne.

33 [If you spend a lot of time] sleeping and napping and folding your hands while you rest,

Osi'agna nagra navura masehimarege, osi'agna masege, osi'agna nazana anamagi'na manisga huge'ma hanugeno'a,

34 [soon] you will become poor; [it will be as though] [PRS, SIM] a bandit who had a weapon in his hand [attacked you and stole all that you had].

musufa vahe'mo'za mika fenozmi kumzafa sage'za, mika zazmimo'a ame huno vagaresige'za, zamunte omane vahe maniankna hugahaze.
