< Proverbs 25 >

1 These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
Ama'i Solomoni knare antahi'zamofo naneke, Juda vahe kini ne' Hezekia eriza vahe'mo'za eri'za krente'naza naneke.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
Ra Anumzamo'a rama'a zama antahizama'afi erifrakinegu, ra agi nemune. Hagi kinimo'a anama fraki'nea zama hakeno erifore nehigeta, agrira ra agi'a amita husga nehune.
3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
Monamo onagamu me'geno, mopamo'a ufenkamu megeta antahita keta nosunankino, e'inahukna kante kini vahe'mokizmi antahintahizmia tagra antahita keta osugahune.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and material comes out for the refiner.
Silvama kre'za eri avusese hazageno, knare'ma hige'za anantetira zago'amo mareri zantamina tro nehaze.
5 Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
Kefo avu'ava'ma hanaza vahe'ma kini ne'mofo kumapinti'ma zamahenati atresazana, agrama kegavama hu'nea kuma'mo'a, hanavetino fatgo huno megahie.
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;
Kini ne' avure'ma emanisunka, nagra ra vahe'mani'noe hunka kavufga ra nosunka, zamagine vahe'mokizmi tratera eomanio.
7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.
Akoheno mani'nenkeno kema huno avrenagamute zamo knarera hu'neanki, agine vahe'mofo avufima hugantesigenka anama mani'nenana tra'ma atrenka urami zamo'a kagaze hugahianki, antahinka kenka huntenka fatgoza huo.
8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?
Ame hunka naneke hu tratera magomofona avrentenka kehara huonto. Na'ankure tava'onkare'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za, ana nanekeka'ama eriama hu'za kazeri kagazema hanazana, atuparega na'a kagra hugahane?
9 Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,
Kagrama tava'onkare'ma nemanisimo'enema ke ha'ma nehanunka, mago'mofo oku'a avu'ava'amofo nanekea hu amara osuo.
10 lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
Henka'ama vahe'mo'za antahisu'za, fraki'za hazankea kagra franokine huge, kazeri kagaze nehu'za mika zupa antahi haviza hugante vava hugahaze.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Hagi vahe'mo'ma knare antahi'zama kna fatgo'are'ma hu'ama'ma hanigeno'a, ana ke'mo'a golire tro hunte'naza epoli zafa ragamo silva zuompafi meankna hu'ne.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.
Knare antahi'zanteti'ma azeri fatgoma nehanigeno agesa anteno antahisimo'a, golire tro hunte'naza avasaseza agesafi anteankna hu'ne.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
Kema erino esia ne'mo'ma, ome huo huno huntesigeno esia kema eme fatgo huno anankema hu ne'mo'a, hozafinti neza hamare knare ata ko'mo rufru hiankna nehigeno, kva'amofo agu'amo'a fru nehie.
14 As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
Mago vaheku'ma museza kamigahue huno'ma avufga ra hu kazigati huvempa hunteteno, anazama omisia vahe'mo'a, ko aruku zaho e'nerino hampo ko atuno hanintiri huteno, kora oriankna nehie.
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.
Hagi ame hunka krimpama ohe'zamo'a, kva vahera rimpa azerifru hunka, kagrarega avrentegahane. Ante fru hunka hukemo'a, ha' frama hu'zana mika azeri agateregahane.
16 Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
Tume'mofo tima'amo'a haga hu'neanki, nenenunka avamente no, rama'a nesanana amu'atigahane.
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
Tava'onkare'ma nemanisimofo nontera hakare zupa vuvava osuo, anama hanankeno'a musema huno'ma negavreanknara osugosianki, avesra hugantegahie.
18 A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
Tava'onkarema nemanisimofoma havigema huntenka, agenkema hanana zamo'a, kumpa knonu aheankna nehunka, kazinteti avufgama akafriankna nehunka, keve aheankna hugahane.
19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.
Kagrama kaza osuga vahe'ma antahinemisankeno havi knama esigeno'a, naza hugahiema hananana, ave'neneno ata negrifi ne'zama neankna nehunka, agamo haviza hu'nea ne'mo revazamu revazamu huno viankna hugahane.
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
Vahe'mo'ma asunku zampima mani'nenigenka muse zagamema hananana, ana asunku zampi mani'nea vahe'mofona, zasi knafi nakreku'a zafi atreankna nehunka, aka tinu avufga taga hu'nefi tagi atreankna hugahane.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
Ha' vahekamofoma aga'zanku'ma nehanigenka ne'zama nesia zana neminka, tinku'ma avenesinigenka tina amigeno neno.
22 for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
E'inahu'ma hanankeno'a, teve tankanuza asenifi hampagenteankna hanankeno, agra'a havi avu'ava zama'agura agaze nehanigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a mizana kamigahie.
23 The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
Vahe'ma amefiga ke'ma hu kemo'a, noti (north) kazigati zaho'mo ko atufeno eankna huno, ana vahe'mofontera arimpa ahe'za erino esigeno, avugosamo'a zahe hugahie.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
Fegi'a anaga nomote kagraku manizamo'a, nogu'afima kehakarema nehia a'enema manizana agaterene.
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Afete kumateti knare'zamofo agenkema egeno antahizamo'a, tinku avesinere zasi ti amigeno neankna nehie.
26 Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
Fatgo ne'mo'ma kefo avu'ava ene ne'ma, avaririno kefo avu'ava'ma ome haniana, knare tinkerifi agamunke timo ufreno eri haviza hiankna hugahie.
27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
Vahe'mo'ma ra'ma'a tumerima ne'zamo'a, knarera osu'ne. Vahe'mo'ma agra'a ra agima eri'zanku'ma mraguzamati'zamo'a, knarera osu'ne.
28 Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
Iza'o, rimpa aka he'zama azeri aravama ohesiana, mago ra kuma'mofo have keginamo fragu vaziramiankna hugahie.
