Ikrisiasatis 10
1 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.
Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odour; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.
2 Knare agu'agesane vahe'mo'a knare avu'avaza nehigeno, havi agu'agesane vahe'mo'a, neginagi avu'avaza nehie.
A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Neginagi vahe'mofona kama vania avu'avate negenka, e'i neginagi vahere hunka hugahane.
Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
4 Hagi kvakamo'ma arimpama aheganteno kema kasanigenka, eri'zana atrenka ovuo. Fru hunka mani'nenka kvakamofo kema antahisankeno'a, mago'ane arimpa aheogantegahie.
If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offences to rest.
5 Hagi mago kefo avu'ava zama ama mopafima koana, ugagota kva vahe'mo'za eri'zana eri havizana nehaze.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
6 Neginagi vahera marerirfa eri'zanke nezami'za, feno vahera evurami'nea eri'za nezamize.
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
7 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.
I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
8 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.
He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
9 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.
Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it.
10 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.
If the axe is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
11 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.
If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
12 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.
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
13 Neginagi vahe'mo'a neginagi kereti agafa huteno, neginagi avu'ava zanteti'ene kefo nanekereti'ene ome hu vagaregahie.
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 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?
A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
15 Neginagi vahe'mo'za eri'zana eri'sazanagi tusi zamavaresragu hugahaze. Na'ankure nozamiregama nevaza kana ke'za eri forera osugahaze.
The labour of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
16 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.
Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
17 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.
Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 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.
By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
19 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.
A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
20 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.
Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.
