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 is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting [with] strife.
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 wise servant shall rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
3 Koline silvanena tevefi kre'za eri agru nehaze. Hianagi Ra Anumzamoke tagu'amofona reheno nege.
The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but Jehovah trieth the hearts.
4 Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, havigema nehazankea nentahie. Hagi tavre vahe'mo'a, vahe'ma azeri haviza hukema hazanke nentahie.
The evil-doer giveth heed to iniquitous lips; the liar giveth ear to a mischievous 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.
Whoso mocketh a poor [man] reproacheth his Maker; he that is glad at calamity shall not be held innocent.
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 are 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.
Excellent speech becometh not a vile [man]; how much less do lying lips a noble!
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.
A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of the possessor: whithersoever it turneth it prospereth.
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 that covereth transgression seeketh love; but he that bringeth a matter up again separateth very friends.

A reproof entereth more deeply into him that hath understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.
11 Kefo avu'avazane vahe'mo'za, ha'ma erifore hu zankuke zamave'nesiankino, hazenkema zami vahera huntenkeno zamavaririgahie.
An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion; but a cruel messenger shall 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.
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man rather than a fool in his folly.

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart 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 beginning of contention is [as] when one letteth out water; therefore leave off strife before it become vehement.
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 that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, even they both are abomination to Jehovah.
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?
To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he] hath no sense?

The friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

A senseless man striketh hands, becoming surety for his neighbour.

He loveth transgression that loveth a quarrel; he that maketh high his gate seeketh destruction.
20 Akrehe akrehe agu'ane ne'mo'a, knare zana hakeno erifore osugahie. Hagi iza'o tavre kema nehanimo'a, hazenkefi ufregahie.
He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.

He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow, and the father of a vile [man] hath 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 joyful heart promoteth healing; but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
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 wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the paths of judgment.

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in 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 bitterness to her that bore him.
26 Fatgo hu'nesia vahe'ma knazama zamige, knare huno hazenke'a omane kva vahe'ma kanoma ami'zamo'a, haviza hu'ne.
To punish a righteous [man] is not good, nor to strike nobles because of [their] uprightness.
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 that hath knowledge spareth his words; and a man of understanding is of a cool spirit.
28 E'ina hu'negu neginagi vahe'mo'ma kema osuno manisia zankura, vahe'mo'za knare antahi'za eri'ne hugahaze.
Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, [and] he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
