Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 22
1 Vahe'mo'ma knare kagi'ma kami'zamo'a, rama'a fenoma ante'zana agatere'ne. Hagi vahe'mo'ma kagri'ma kavesigante zamo'a, goline silvanena agatere'ne.
A good name is more to be desired than great wealth, and to be respected is better than silver and gold.
2 Feno vahe'ene amunte omane vahe'enena, Ra Anumzamo ana tarega vahera tro huzanantege'ne mani'na'e.
The man of wealth and the poor man come face to face: the Lord is the maker of them all.

The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.

The reward of a gentle spirit and the fear of the Lord is wealth and honour and life.
5 Akrahe krahe avu'ava ene vahe'ma nevaza kampina, ave'ave zane vahe'ma azeri kukone me'ne. Hianagi iza'o agra'ama kegavama himo'a afete nemanie.
Thorns and nets are in the way of the twisted: he who keeps watch over his soul will be far from them.
6 Mofavreka'a knare kante'ma vu'za rempi humigeno knare kante nevuno, rama hanuno'a, ana avu'avara atreno rukrehe osino.
If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.
7 Feno vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahera, kegava hunezamantaze. Hagi zagoma nofi'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zago'ama nofi'ma haza ne'mofo kazokazo eri'za vahe nemanize.
The man of wealth has rule over the poor, and he who gets into debt is a servant to his creditor.
8 Kefozama krinenimo'a, henka ne'zama'a hazenke'za kafigahie. Hagi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia himamu'amo'a, vagaregahie.
By planting the seed of evil a man will get in the grain of sorrow, and the rod of his wrath will be broken.
9 Iza'o zamunte'ma omane naga'ma muse zampinti'ma ne'zama zamisia vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huzamantegahie.
He who is kind will have a blessing, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

He whose heart is clean is dear to the Lord; for the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.
12 Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama erizante avu'a anteno kegava nehianagi, hazenke vahe'mofo kea erinetre.
The eyes of the Lord keep knowledge, but by him the acts of the false man will be overturned.
13 Feru vahe'mo'a amanage nehie, megi'a laioni mani'neankino, vanuana nahe frigahie huno nehie.
The hater of work says, There is a lion outside: I will be put to death in the streets.
14 Savri a'mofo agipinti'ma ne-ea kemo'a, muri kankna hu'ne, izano Ra Anumzamo'ma arimpa hentesimo'a, ana muri kampi tamigahie.
The mouth of strange women is a deep hole: he with whom the Lord is angry will go down into it.

He who is cruel to the poor for the purpose of increasing his profit, and he who gives to the man of wealth, will only come to be in need.

For it is a delight to keep them in your heart, to have them ready on your lips.
19 Nagra menina rempi hunegamugu, nentahinka Ra Anumzamofonte kagranena kamentinti huo.
So that your faith may be in the Lord, I have made them clear to you this day, even to you.
20 Nagra 30'a knare kegaga krentegantenofina, kavumro kene, antahiza eri zamofo naneke kregaminoankinka,
Have I not put in writing for you thirty sayings, with wise suggestions and knowledge,
21 ama ana kereti tamage kea rempi hunka antahinenka, iza'o tamage kegu'ma hugantenigenka e'nesamofona fatgo'are kenona ome asamigahane.
To make you see how certain are true words, so that you may give a true answer to those who put questions to you?
22 Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmi zana ohanareho, na'ankure zamagra zamunte omane vahe mani'naze. Hagi zamunte omanesige'zama atupama hu'nesaza vahera, keagarera zamavarenteta zamazeri havizana osiho.
Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

Do not be friends with a man who is given to wrath; do not go in the company of an angry man:
25 ru ana vahe zamavu'zamava enerisankeno, kukomo kazeriankna huno kagu'a kazeri haviza hugahie.
For fear of learning his ways and making a net ready for your soul.
26 Mago vahera huvempa hunka mago'za hugantegahue osuo. Hagi ru vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma hu'nesigenka, ana nofi'ma hu'nea zana nagra vakanentegahue hunka osuo.
Be not one of those who give their hands in an agreement, or of those who make themselves responsible for debts:

If you have nothing with which to make payment, he will take away your bed from under you.

Let not the old landmark be moved which your fathers have put in place.

Have you seen a man who is expert in his business? he will take his place before kings; his place will not be among low persons.
