Wine makes men foolish, and strong drink makes men come to blows; and whoever comes into error through these is not wise.

6 Rama'a vahe'mo'za, tavesi negantone hugahazanagi, mago mago vahe'mo'za tamage hu'za kavesigantegahaze.
Most men make no secret of their kind acts: but where is a man of good faith to be seen?

A king on the seat of judging puts to flight all evil with his eyes.
9 Nagu'amo'a fatgo higena, nagra agru hu'noankino nagripina kumira omane'ne huno iza hugahie?
Who is able to say, I have made my heart clean, I am free from my sin?

Unequal weights and unequal measures, they are all disgusting to the Lord.
11 Mofavremofona avu'avate negenka, agri avu'avamo'a agru hu'neanki, fatgo mofavre mani'neanki hugahane.

A poor thing, a poor thing, says he who is giving money for goods: but when he has gone on his way, then he makes clear his pride in what he has got.
15 Antahi'zama ami kemo'a, goline zago'amo'ma marerisa havea agetere'ne.
There is gold and a store of corals: but the lips of knowledge are a jewel of great price.

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but after, his mouth will be full of sand.

Do not say, I will give punishment for evil: go on waiting for the Lord, and he will be your saviour.

A man's steps are of the Lord; how then may a man have knowledge of his way?

Mercy and good faith keep the king safe, and the seat of his power is based on upright acts.
29 Nehazave ramimofona hanave zamimo ra zamagia nezamie. Hianagi ranra vahera efe'zmazoka nege'za vahe'mo'za husga hunezmantaze.
The glory of young men is their strength, and the honour of old men is their grey hairs.
30 Hazenkema hania vahe'ma knokeve'ma ami'zamo, kefo avu'ava zana ahenati netreno, agu'a azeri agru hugahie.
By the wounds of the rod evil is taken away, and blows make clean the deepest parts of the body.
