Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 21
1 Tima eriante fatgo'ma higeno kama'are vu fatgo hiankna huno, Ra Anumzamo'a kini vahe'mofo agu'agesa azeri antefatgo nehigeno, Agri avesite nevie.
The Lord directs the king's decisions like a stream of water that he sends whichever way he wants.
2 Vahe'mo'za maka zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza zankura, fatgo avu'avaza nehune hu'za hugahazanagi, Ra Anumzamoke zamagu'a refako huno nezamage.
People think that whatever they do is fine, but the Lord looks at their motives.
3 Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'ava zane, fatgo huno refako hu'zamo'a, Kresramanama vu zana agatere'ne.
Doing what's right and fair pleases the Lord more than sacrifices.
4 Vahe'ma ke fenkamite zane, avufga ra hu'zamo'a, nena raga'a rentesiana kumire.
Pride and arrogance are the sins the wicked live by.
5 Knare huno antahintahima retro huteno, hanavetino eri'zama eri'zamo'a, rama'aza erifore hugahie. Hianagi ame'ama hu'zamo'a, amunte omane vahe manigahie.
Those who plan ahead and work hard will have plenty, while those who act rashly end up poor.
6 Havigereti eri fenomo'a, hampogino kirga hiankna huno fanane nehuno, frikante kavreno vugahie.
Money made by lies is like smoke in the wind—a chase that ends in death.
7 Kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmi hazenke'zamo'a, zamavazu huno zamazeri haviza hugahie. Na'ankure zamagra fatgo zamavu'zamava huzankura, zamavesra hunentaze.
The destruction caused by the wicked will destroy them, for they refuse to do what's right.
8 Hazenke zamima me'nea vahe'mo'za mani fatgo hu'za nomanize. Hianagi hazenke zamima omane vahe'mo'za fatgo avu'avate nemanize.
Guilty people live crooked lives, but the innocent follow straight paths.
9 Fra vazivava a'ene mago nompi omanino, agraku'ma nomofo fegu'a mani'zamo'a, knare hu'ne.
It's better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.
10 Kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, kefozama huzankuke zamave'nesie. Ana nehu'za tava'ozmire'ma nemaniza vahera zamazeri haviza nehaze.
Evil people love to do wrong, they don't care what pain they cause anyone.
11 Vahe'ma huhaviza'ma hu vahe'ma kanoma amiza azeri fatgoma hazageno'a, antahi ama' osu vahe'mo'za nege'za ama' antahi'zana erigahaze. Hianagi knare antahi'zama eri'nesaza vahe'mo'za zamazeri fatgohu kema zamasamisage'za mago'ene antahi'zana erigahaze.
When a mocker is punished, an immature person can learn wisdom. When the wise are educated, they gain knowledge.
12 Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo hu'neankino, kefo vahe'mo'ma noma'afima hia avu'ava'zana keno antahino nehiankino, ana vahera zamazeri haviza hugahie.
The God of justice sees what happens in the homes of the wicked, and brings the wicked down in disaster.
13 Mago vahe'mo'ma amunte omane vahe'mofo kezanke'ma antahi omisimofona, agrama mago zanku'ma upama hu'neno kezatisige'za antahi omigahaze.
If you refuse to hear the cries of the poor, your cries won't be heard either.
14 Rimpama hegante'nesia vahe'ma oku'ama musezama ami'zamo'a arimpa ahegante'nesia zana eri fru hugahane.
A gift given in secret calms down anger, and a hidden bribe soothes furious rage.
15 Vahe'mo'ma fatgo huno refako hu avu'ava'ma hanigeno'a, fatgo vahe'mo'za muse hugahaze. Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, tusi koro hugahaze.
When justice is done, the good are happy, but it brings terror to those who do evil.
16 Mago'mo'ma antahi ama'ma hu antahi'zamofo kama atreno havifima vanimo'a, frino ko'ma fri'naza vahe'ene umanigahie.
Anyone who wanders away from the path of understanding ends up with the dead.
17 Knare ne'zama neneno, tima neno musehu zanku'ma mika zupama avesivava hanimo'a, zago'amo'a vagaresigeno amunte omane vahe manigahie.
If you love pleasure you'll become poor; if you love wine and olive oil you won't ever be rich.
18 Fatgo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahetema hazenkema esiana, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zamagri nona eri'za ana hazenkea erigahaze. Hagi hazenke vahe'mo'za fatgo vahe'mofo nona eri'za knazana erigahaze.
The wicked pay the price and not the good; those who are deceitful and not those who live right.
19 Mago ne'mo'ma kehakare nehuno, rimpa hevava nehania a'amofoma atreno ka'ma kopima umanisiana knare hugahie.
It's better to live in a desert than with an argumentative and bad-tempered wife.
20 Ama' antahi'zama eri'nesia ne'mo'a, knare feno zantamine olivi masavena noma'afina erivitegahie. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'za, mika fenozazmia atre vaganeraze.
The wise hold on to their wealth and olive oil, but stupid people use up everything they have.
21 Mago vahe'mo'ma fatgo avu'avazane vahe'ma avesinte avu'ava'ma hankavetino avaririsimo'a, knare nomani'zanki, fatgo avu'ava'ene ra agine erigahie.
If you pursue goodness and trustworthy love, you'll find life, prosperity, and honor.
22 Ama' antahi'zane ne'mo'a, hanave vahe'mokizmi rankumara ha' huzamanteno e'nerino, hanave vihugu'ma amuha'ma hunemiza vihua tapage hutregahie.
The wise can overcome a city belonging to strong warriors, and tear down the fortress they trusted to protect them.
23 Iza'o kema hu'zampima agi'ene aganefu'nanema kegavama hanimo'a, hazenkea e'origahie.
If you watch what you say, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
24 Vahe'ma huhavizama huzamante vahe'mo'a, avufga ra nehuno, vahera zamage fenkami netreno, agra'a avufga erisga hu'zanke nehie.
A proud, conceited, mocker—that's the name of those who act with insolent arrogance.
25 Eri'za e'ori feru vahe'mo'a mika zama eri'zankura avesi avesi nehuno, frigahie. Na'ankure agra azana eri avako huno, eri'zana e'ori'ne.
Slackers die hungry because they refuse to work.
26 Feru ne'mo'a mika'zama eri'zankura antahi vava nehie. Hianagi fatgo ne'mo'a agra'agura ontahino, mika fenozana vahera nezamie.
Some people only want more and more all the time, but the good give generously.
27 Kefo avu'ava ene vahe'mo'ma kresramnama nevia zankura, Ra Anumzamo'a agoteno avesra hunenteankino, kefo zamagu'zamage'sareti'ma eri'za aza vahera mago'ane agatereno avesra hunezamante.
The sacrifices given by the wicked are obnoxious, worse still when they're offered with evil motives.
28 Keagama refako hu trate'ma havigema huno hu ama'ma huntesimo'a, frigahie. Hianagi tamage kema hanimofona, ana agenke'amo'a mevava huno vugahie.
The lies of a false witness vanish away, but the words of a reliable witness will stand.
29 Kefo avu'ava'ma hu vahe'mo'a, havige huno nagra knare vahe mani'noe nehie. Hianagi fatgo vahe'mo'za zamagesa antahi so'e hute'za kana nevaze.
The wicked act as bold as brass, but those who live right consider carefully what they're doing.
30 Ama' antahi'zana eri'nenka, antahi ama'ma hu antahi'zana erigahananagi, Ra Anumzamofoma ha'ma rente'sanana ana antahi zankamo'a amne zankna hugahie.
Whatever wisdom, understanding, or guidance you may have is nothing before the Lord.
31 Ha'ma hu'zana hosi afura azeri retro hugahazanagi, ha'ma azerigatere zana, Ra Anumzamofontegati egahie.
You can get your horse ready for battle, but the victory is the Lord's.
