1 Anumzamofo nompima unefresunka akohenka ufro. Anumzamofo tavaonte'ma akoheno umani'neno kema antahi'zamo'a, agesa ontahino neginagi ofama kre sramnavu zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure zamagra e'i haviza nehune hu'za nontahize.
Be careful when you go into God's house. It's better to listen and respond rather than offer meaningless sacrifices. People who do that don't even know they are doing wrong.
2 Kagitetira ame'ama hunka keaga huge ame'ama hunka kagu'aretira maka antahintahi zanka'a Anumzamofo avuga huamara osuo. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a monafinka manigenka kagra ama mopafi mani'nane. Ana hu'negu kagra osi'a naneke huo.
Don't say rash things, and think before you speak to God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so keep it short.
3 Mika zanku'ma antahintahi hakarema hanunka, rama'a avana kegahane. Rama'a kegagama hu zamo'a neginagi vahe asegahane.
When you worry too much, you get nightmares; when you talk too much, you say foolish things.
4 Anumzamofoma mago zama amigahue hunkama huvempa hu'nenunka, zazatera azerinka ovuo. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a neginagi vahekura musena nosianki, Anumzamofoma amigahue hunkama huvempa hu'nenana zana amio.
When you make a vow to God, with a curse on you if you don't keep it, don't be slow in keeping it, for he is not happy with foolish behavior. So do what you promised!
5 Anumzamofonte'ma huvempa osu zamo'a knare hu'ne. Hagi Anumzamofonte'ma huvempa huteno, ana nanekema amage'ma onte'zamo'a knarera osu'ne.
Better not to make any vows at all than to make vow you don't keep.
6 Hagi atregeno kagimo'a kavreno kumipina ovino. Ana nehunka pristi vahetera kagraka'ama kaguvazi kazigatira hunka ruge hunaku hurega hantga hu'na huvempa Anumzamofontera hu'noe hunka osuo. E'inama hananana, Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahesankeno, mika zama eri fore'ma hanana zantamina eri haviza hugahie.
Don't let your mouth cause you to sin. And don't tell the priest that your vow was a mistake, for why would you antagonize God by breaking your promise? He could bring your own curse down on you.
7 Rama'a nanekema nehuno, rama'a ava'nama ke zamo'a, agafa'a omane'ne. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamofo korora hunentenka agoraga'a manio.
There are certainly many dreams, questions of meaning, and lots of different ideas, but you are to follow God.
8 Kesankenoma kamani vahe'mo'zama zamunte omane vahe'ma knama zamiza zamazeri haviza nehu'za, zamazama hugazama atre'za zamazama nosnagenka antria hunka kagogogura osuo. E'i ana'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmia zamagri'enena kva vahezmia mani'neno, anahu avu'avara hunezmantege'za anara nehaze.
If you see poor people somewhere being oppressed, or truth and justice violated, don't be shocked at it, for every official is responsible to others higher up, and there are officials over them as well.
9 Mopafinti'ma amuhoma hu'za erifore'ma nehaza kavera, kini ne'moke erihna nehie.
However, what the land produces is for everyone—even the king benefits from what is grown.
10 Zagogu'ma avesi avesima nehania vahe'mo'a zagoa eri avi otegahie. Hagi fenoma ante'zanku'ma agesama nentahisia vahe'mo'a, fenozana eri knarera osugahie. E'i ana zamo'enena agafa'a omne'ne.
People who love money never have enough money; those who love wealth never have enough income. This too is so temporary and makes little sense.
11 Rama'a fenoma ante'nea vahe'mofona, rama'a vahe'mo ana fenontera kregre huno eri fanane hugahie. E'ina hugahianki, ana fenozamo'a nankna knare'za avreno nafa'amofona eme amigahie? Magozana avreno eme omigosianki, negenigeno ana fenozamo'a fanane hugahie.
The more you earn, the more you have eating into your income. It only looks like you have more!
12 Amuho huno'ma eri'zama eneria vahe'mo'a osi'a neza nesio, rama'a neza nesianagi avura mase so'e nehie. Hianagi rama'a fenoma ante'nea vahe'mo'a avura mase so'e osugahie.
Those who work hard sleep well, whether they have a little to eat or plenty, but the rich own so much they don't get any rest.
13 Hagi tusi'a kefo avu'avazama ama mopafima koana, tusi'a fenoma eri atruma nehia vahe'mofona, agri fenomo azeri haviza nehie.
I observed something here that is really sickening: people who hoard money damage themselves.
14 Hagi rama'a zagoma tro hu kazigatima atraza zagomo'a, ome fanene nehige'za mofavre'mo'za erisaza zagoa nomane.
They put their money into bad investments and lose everything. Now when we're born, we don't bring anything into the world.
15 Hagi nerarera rimpafintira magozana e'orita tavufga avapa e'nonankita, frisuta mago'a fenozana e'rineta ovugahune.
When we die, we leave just as naked as when we were born, taking nothing with us from all we've worked for.
16 Ama'na zamo'enena tusi'a kefo avu'avaza me'ne. Ama mopafima vahe'mo'ma fore'ma huno e'nea kante anteno, friana anahu kna huno nevie. Hiankino amuhoma huno eri'zama eri fore'ma nehia zamo'a, zahoma avaririaza huno amnezankna nehie.
This also makes me sick! What do people gain, working for the wind?
17 Hagi ama mopafima mani'zama azafina hanimpi kavera nene'za tusi'a zamatafine, krifine, zamarimpa ahezampi mani'za neaze.
They live their lives in darkness, very frustrated, sick, and resentful.
18 Anahu kna hu'na nagrani'ama mago knare zama ke'na eri fore'ma huana, iza'o amuhoma huno eri fore'ma hania zana neneno musenkase huno, osi'a knama Anumzamo'ma ami'nea knafina manino. Na'ankure e'i amuhoma hu'nea eri'zama eria zamofo mi'zama'e.
But I observed that what is good and right is to eat, drink, and to find enjoyment in the work God gives us here in this life. This is God's gift to us.
19 Hagi Anumzamo'ma mago vahe'ma zagone fenonema nemino'a, amuhoma huno erifore'ma hania zama neneno'ma musema hania antahintahia ami'ne. E'i ana zantamina Anumzamo'a muse'za ami'ne.
In addition, everyone to whom God gives wealth and possessions he also gives the ability to enjoy these gifts, to be grateful for what they are given, and to enjoy the work they do. This is also God's gift to us.
20 Anumzamo'a ana vahe'mofona ana zantamimpi antahintahia erintegeno ana zanku muse nehuno, ko'ma manino'ma e'nea nomania zankura agesa nontahie.
In fact such people have little time to think about life because God keeps them busy with all that makes them happy.
