Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 17
1 Vahe'mo'ma rimpa frune akoheno mani'neno naga'anema osia kave'ma ne'zamo'a, tusi'a ne'zama hafra nehuno kreno ne'zana agatere'ne.
Better a bit of dry bread in peace, than a house full of feasting and violent behaviour.
2 Knare antahi'zane eri'za ne'mo'a, kva'amofo mofavre'mo'ma agaze hu avu'ava'ma hania mofavremofona ugota huno kegava hunte'neno, mofavre'amo'za erisanti haregahaze huzmante'nesafintira erigahie.
A servant who does wisely will have rule over a son causing shame, and will have his part in the heritage among brothers.
3 Koline silvanena tevefi kre'za eri agru nehaze. Hianagi Ra Anumzamoke tagu'amofona reheno nege.
The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, but the Lord is the tester of hearts.
4 Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, havigema nehazankea nentahie. Hagi tavre vahe'mo'a, vahe'ma azeri haviza hukema hazanke nentahie.
A wrongdoer gives attention to evil lips, and a man of deceit gives ear to a damaging tongue.
5 Amunte omane vahe'ma huhaviza huntesia vahe'mo'a, tro'ma huzmante'nea Ra Anumzamofo huhaviza hunente. Hagi hazenkema erisaza zanku'ma muse hanimo'a, agra'a havi mizana erigahie.
Whoever makes sport of the poor puts shame on his Maker; and he who is glad because of trouble will not go free from punishment.
6 Nenama hu'za ra avuma omesaza vahe'mokizmia, zamagehe'mo'za kini fetorikna zamanuntera hu'nage'za, ra zamagi vahe'mo'za nezamize. Hagi mofavremo'za zamarera zamafana muse huzmantegahaze.
Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.
7 Neginagi vahe'mofontera knare ke'ma hu'zamo'a, haviza hu'neanagi, kva ne'mo'ma havigema hu'zamo'a, havizantfa hu'ne.
Fair words are not to be looked for from a foolish man, much less are false lips in a ruler.
8 Mago'mo'ma mago zama erinaku zagoreti'ma maseve'ma amino erisia zamo'a agraragisa kaguvaza huno efore hiankna nehie. Iza'o anazama himo'a maka zampina knare nehie.
An offering of money is like a stone of great price in the eyes of him who has it: wherever he goes, he does well.
9 Iza'o havizama huntesimofoma kefo zama'a atrentesimo'a, amu'nozanifina avesinte avu'avazamo'a, meno vugahie. Hianagi arone'amofo havi avu'avazama'agu hugantigama hanimo'a, knare knampa'a azeri atanegahie.
He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.
10 Kemofoma refko huno antahi ankemare vahe'mofona, magoke zupama azeri fatgo hu kema asamisankeno'a antahigahianagi, neginagi vahe'mofoma azeri fatgo hunaku'ma 100'a zupa knona ami'sanana, avu'avara ruzahera osugahie.
A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man.
11 Kefo avu'avazane vahe'mo'za, ha'ma erifore hu zankuke zamave'nesiankino, hazenkema zami vahera huntenkeno zamavaririgahie.
An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him.
12 Anenta'ama kumzafama ase'nesaza beama, mago ne'mo'ma kantegama tutagihama hunte'zamo'a knare hu'neanagi, neginagi vahe'mo'za neginagi zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'enema tragoteno manizana agatere'ne.
It is better to come face to face with a bear whose young ones have been taken away than with a foolish man acting foolishly.
13 Hagi mago vahe'mo'a knare'zama magamofoma huntesia zanku'ma, nona huno kefozama huntesia vahe'mofona, kefo zamo'a naga'afintira atreno ovutfa hugahie.
If anyone gives back evil for good, evil will never go away from his house.
14 Haframa hu'zamo'ma agafama nehanigeta, koma eri amne osanunkeno'a, ti anagi atregeno ti hageno eankna huno rama'aza eri haviza hugahie.
The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.
15 Kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma fatgo vahere nehu'za, fatgo zmavu'avazama nehaza vaheku'ma, kefo vahere hu'zama nehaza tare zamavu'zmavakura, Ra Anumzamo'a agoteno avesra hunezmante.
He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord.
16 Neginagi vahe'mo'za knare antahi'zama rempima hu'za eri zamave'sizama omane'nege'za, na'a hige'za avono huzama mizasesaza zagoa zamazampina eri'naze?
How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense?
17 Mika zupa knampati'mo'za zamavesirantegahaze. Hagi knazampima taza hanagu tafuhe'mokizmia kasezmante'naze.
A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.
18 Knare antahi'zazmima omane vahe'mo'za zamagrazmi huvempa hu'za, tava'ozmire nemani'za vahe'mo'za nofi'ma hu'naza zama ovakanesageta, tagrati vakanezmantegahune hu'za nehaze.
A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.
19 Iza'o ha'frama hu'zankuma avesintemo'a, kumiku ave'nesie. Iza'o agra'a agima erintesgama nehimo'a, hazenke erigahie.
The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction.
20 Akrehe akrehe agu'ane ne'mo'a, knare zana hakeno erifore osugahie. Hagi iza'o tavre kema nehanimo'a, hazenkefi ufregahie.
Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble.
21 Neginagi vahe'mofo nerera nefa'a, tusi'a ataza e'nerie. Higeno nefa rimpamo'a, ana neginagi ne'mofonkura musena osugahie.
He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy.
22 Musema huno mani'zamo'a, tusazamo vahe'ma azeri so'e higeno maniankna nehie. Hianagi vahe'mofo antahi'zamo'ma havizama haniana, havi krimo zaferinafi me'neno azeri haviza hiankna hu'ne.
A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
23 Kema refkohu tratema kefo ne'mo'ma mani'nesuno'a, keagama eri haviza hinogu oku'a masevema huno amisia zagoa e'nerino, keaga eri rukrahe huno fatgo kantera ontahigosie.
A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.
24 Antahi'zane vahe'mo'a knare antahi'zante avua anteno nevie. Hianagi havi vahe'mofo avumo'a, mopa ataginare ame huno omegege, emegege huno nevie
Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.
25 Neginagi mofavremo'za nezmafana zamasuzana eri nezamie. Hagi kasema ante'nea zamarerahe'ina, zamarimpa zamata erinezamize.
A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth.
26 Fatgo hu'nesia vahe'ma knazama zamige, knare huno hazenke'a omane kva vahe'ma kanoma ami'zamo'a, haviza hu'ne.
To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness.
27 Knare antahintahima me'nea vahe'mo'a, rama'a keaga osugahie. Hagi ama' antahi'zama me'nenia ne'mo'a, ame huno rimpagna osugahie.
He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense.
28 E'ina hu'negu neginagi vahe'mo'ma kema osuno manisia zankura, vahe'mo'za knare antahi'za eri'ne hugahaze.
Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.
