Proverbs 22
1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
Vahe'mo'ma knare kagi'ma kami'zamo'a, rama'a fenoma ante'zana agatere'ne. Hagi vahe'mo'ma kagri'ma kavesigante zamo'a, goline silvanena agatere'ne.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is the maker of them all.
Feno vahe'ene amunte omane vahe'enena, Ra Anumzamo ana tarega vahera tro huzanantege'ne mani'na'e.
3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
Antahi ankere antahi'zane vahe'mo'a, hazenke zama ne-esigeno'a negeno maniganesigeno agateregahianagi, knare antahizama omane vahe'mo'a, hazenkema fore'ma nehanigeno'a, negeno vuno ana hazenkezana erino knazampina manigahie.
4 The result of humility and the fear of the LORD is wealth, honor, and life.
Agra'a avufga anteramino nemanino, Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunteno, agorga'ama mani'zamo'a, rama'a fenoza nentesankeno kagia husga nehanagenka, za'za kna manigahane.
5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays far from them.
Akrahe krahe avu'ava ene vahe'ma nevaza kampina, ave'ave zane vahe'ma azeri kukone me'ne. Hianagi iza'o agra'ama kegavama himo'a afete nemanie.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Mofavreka'a knare kante'ma vu'za rempi humigeno knare kante nevuno, rama hanuno'a, ana avu'avara atreno rukrehe osino.
7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
Feno vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahera, kegava hunezamantaze. Hagi zagoma nofi'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zago'ama nofi'ma haza ne'mofo kazokazo eri'za vahe nemanize.
8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
Kefozama krinenimo'a, henka ne'zama'a hazenke'za kafigahie. Hagi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia himamu'amo'a, vagaregahie.
9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
Iza'o zamunte'ma omane naga'ma muse zampinti'ma ne'zama zamisia vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huzamantegahie.
10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
Kehu haviza hu vahera zamahe anati atrenkeno, vahe'ma huhavizama hu'zane, ha'ma hu'zane, fragema hu'zana vagareno.
11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king’s friend.
Agu'amo'ma agru nehanigeno, fru kema huzanku avenesisimo'a, kini ne'mofo rone'a manigahie.
12 The LORD’s eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama erizante avu'a anteno kegava nehianagi, hazenke vahe'mofo kea erinetre.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
Feru vahe'mo'a amanage nehie, megi'a laioni mani'neankino, vanuana nahe frigahie huno nehie.
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under the LORD’s wrath will fall into it.
Savri a'mofo agipinti'ma ne-ea kemo'a, muri kankna hu'ne, izano Ra Anumzamo'ma arimpa hentesimo'a, ana muri kampi tamigahie.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Mofavremofo agu'afina negi'nagi avu'avazamo avitegahianagi, kanoma amino azeri fatgoma hu'zamo ana avu'ava zampintira azeri arukrahe hugahie.
16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
Fenozami mago'ane eri rama'a hunaku'ma zamunte omane vahe kna zamiza zamazeri haviza nehaza vahe'ene, feno vahe'ma musezama nezamiza vahe'mokizmia, zamuntera omanegahie.
17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo kere kagesa antenka antahise nehunka, nagrama rempima hugamisuaza huo.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
Na'ankure anankemo'a knare hu'neankinka kagu'afi erintenankeno ana kemo'a, kagitera me'ne'na kea hutere hugahane.
19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in the LORD.
Nagra menina rempi hunegamugu, nentahinka Ra Anumzamofonte kagranena kamentinti huo.
20 Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge,
Nagra 30'a knare kegaga krentegantenofina, kavumro kene, antahiza eri zamofo naneke kregaminoankinka,
21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
ama ana kereti tamage kea rempi hunka antahinenka, iza'o tamage kegu'ma hugantenigenka e'nesamofona fatgo'are kenona ome asamigahane.
22 Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;
Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmi zana ohanareho, na'ankure zamagra zamunte omane vahe mani'naze. Hagi zamunte omanesige'zama atupama hu'nesaza vahera, keagarera zamavarenteta zamazeri havizana osiho.
23 for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a, zamunte omane vahera zamahokeno zamazeri havizama hanaza vahe'mokizmia, zamazeri haviza hugahie.
24 Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
Arimpa hevava vahera rone huonto, ame huno rimpahe vahe'enena tagro oto,
25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
ru ana vahe zamavu'zamava enerisankeno, kukomo kazeriankna huno kagu'a kazeri haviza hugahie.
26 Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.
Mago vahera huvempa hunka mago'za hugantegahue osuo. Hagi ru vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma hu'nesigenka, ana nofi'ma hu'nea zana nagra vakanentegahue hunka osuo.
27 If you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
Anama nofi'ma hu'nesaza zama apa osesanke'za miko zanka'ane, tafe'ma masinkama nemasesana zanena eri vagaregahaze.
28 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up.
Tamagehe'mo'za ko'ma re'nenaza kanagi kana, akasi kantutretma rumofo mopa eri havia osiho.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men.
Eri'zama eri antahi'zama eri'nea ne'mofo eri'zana negano? Agra kini vahe'mokizmi eri'za vahe nemanino, agi omane vahe'mofo eri'za vahera omanigahie.
