Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 18

He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.

A foolish man has no pleasure in good sense, but only to let what is in his heart come to light.
3 Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, mago'a vahekura antahi amane'za neseno, zamagi'a eri haviza nehuno, zamagaze erinezamie.
When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame.

To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.

The mouth of a foolish man is his destruction, and his lips are a net for his soul.
8 Vahe agenkema hu'zamo'a, haga ne'zankna hu'neankino, ame huno vahe agu'afina ufregahie.
The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, and go down into the inner parts of the stomach.
9 Zaferina omane feru vahe'mo'a, maka'zama eri havizama nehia vahe'mofo nefu manine.
He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe.
11 Feno vahe'mofo fenomo'a ra kuma zmimofo vihugna hu'neakino, kegava hurantenkenta knare huta manigahune hu'za nentahize.
The property of a man of wealth is his strong town, and it is as a high wall in the thoughts of his heart.
12 Avufga ra hu'zamo'a, henka hazenkefi kavrentena manigahane. Hianagi knare hunka anteraminka mani'zamo'a, kazerisga huno knare kagi kamigahie.
Before destruction the heart of man is full of pride, and before honour goes a gentle spirit.

The spirit of a man will be his support when he is ill; but how may a broken spirit be lifted up?
15 Maka'zama antahi ankere vahe'mo'a, knare antahintahima erinakura muse nehie. Knare vahe'mo'a agesazofo huteno nemanie.
The heart of the man of good sense gets knowledge; the ear of the wise is searching for knowledge.
16 Musezama eri'neno esimofona, kafana anagisigeno keagama hukuma hania rankva nera negesigeno, keaga humigahie.
A man's offering makes room for him, letting him come before great men.
17 Keagafima otinesia ne'ma ese'ma keagama refkoma huno kesiana tamage hugahazanagi, anantema antahigesia ne'mo, hazenke'a keno erifore hugahie.
The man who first puts his cause before the judge seems to be in the right; but then his neighbour comes and puts his cause in its true light.
18 Taisi zokagoma re'zamo ha' frama hu'zana eri fru nehuno, hanave netremoke'ma ha'ma hu'zana zanazeri netane.
The decision of chance puts an end to argument, parting the strong.

A brother wounded is like a strong town, and violent acts are like a locked tower.
20 Knare kema kagipintima atiramisuno'a, knare ne'zama nankeno kamuma hiankna huno kaza hugahie. Fatgo kema hanana kemo'a, kazeri knare hugahie.
With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be full; the produce of his lips will be his in full measure.
21 Kekamo'a vahera zamazeri so'e nehuno, zamazeri havizana hugahie. Hagi kema huzantema avesima nentesimo'a, ana ke'amoma rentesia raga'a agra'a erigahie.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food.

Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.
23 Amunte omane vahe'mo'a, asumaraginteno azama hanigu meme nehianagi, feno vahe'mo'a, hanave kefinti kenona nehie.
The poor man makes requests for grace, but the man of wealth gives a rough answer.
24 Rama'a ronekamo'a kazeri haviza hugahianagi, tamage ronekamo'a negafuma nehiaza huno tava'onkare manigahie.
There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother.
