Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 23
1 Rankva ne'ene kave negahane hu'za kagima hanagenka umani'nenka ne'zama nekura, antahi so'e hutenka kva hunka ne'zana no.
When you take your seat at the feast with a ruler, give thought with care to what is before you;
2 Rama'a ne'zama ne' vahe'moka, kagraka'a knankenofi kazinuti taga hiankna nehane.
And put a knife to your throat, if you have a strong desire for food.
3 Rankva ne'mofo ne'zamo'a, kasanea osino. Na'ankure ana kaveteti, regavatga hugahie.
Have no desire for his delicate food, for it is the bread of deceit.
4 Feno vahe'ma mani'zankura maragu'zatinka kazeri havizana osunka, ama' antahi'za e'nerigeno feno vahe'ma mani antahi'zamo'a kazeri havizana osino.
Take no care to get wealth; let there be an end to your desire for money.
5 Kavuma keramage'ma hanankna huno, feno zankamo'a fanane hugahie. Na'ankure agekona eri atareno tumpa namamo hareno hampompi mareriankna huno, afe hugahie.
Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven.
6 Veva osu ne'mo'ma ne'za emeno huno kagi hania nezantera ovuo. Knare ne'za krentesia nezantera, ksanegura osuo.
Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat:
7 Na'ankure agra e'inahukna ne'kino, nama'a mizana hugahie antahintahi hakare nehuno, ne'zana nenenka tina no hugahianagi, agri agu'amo'a, kagri'enena omane'ne.
For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you.
8 Anama ne'nana ne'zana amu'atinetrenka, nanekema hu so'e hunte'nana zamo'a, amanezankna hugahie.
The food which you have taken will come up again, and your pleasing words will be wasted.
9 Neginagi vahe'ma mani'nenafina keaga osuo, na'ankure ama' antahi'zanteti hanana kea, huhaviza hugahaze.
Say nothing in the hearing of a foolish man, for he will put no value on the wisdom of your words.
10 Tamagehe'mo'za koma re'ne'naza kanagi kana akasi kantugma osuge, megusa mofavremofo mopa kavunofi ahenka e'orio.
Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father;
11 Na'ankure zamahoma ke'nia Nera hankave Ne' mani'neankino, tamagrira keaga Agra'a hurmantegahie.
For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you.
12 Kagu'areti kavumro kea nentahinka, antahizama kami kere kagesa antenka antahio.
Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Mofavrema azeri fatgoma huzankura, korera osuo. Kagrama kanoma amisanana ofrigahie.
Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.
14 Azeri fatgo hu kanoma ami'zamo'a, fri vahe kumapima vuzankura agu amena agu'vazigahane. (Sheol h7585)
Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mofavre'nimoka ama' antahi'zama erisanana, Nagri nagu'amo'a muse nehuno,
My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart;
16 kagipinti'ma fatgo ke'ma antahi'sugeno'a, mika nagu'amo'a muse hugahie.
And my thoughts in me will be full of joy when your lips say right things.
17 Kumi vahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmavakura kegasanea osuo. Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonku kore'ma hunteno agorga'ama manizanku maka kna, kagesa antahio.
Have no envy of sinners in your heart, but keep in the fear of the Lord all through the day;
18 Henkama fore hania zanku'ma tamage hunka kagesa nentahinka, amuha'ma nehana zamo'a amnezanknara osugahie.
For without doubt there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Mofavre'nimoka, ke'ni'a antahinka knare antahi'zana erinka, fatgo kante kagu'a antenka vuo.
Give ear, my son, and be wise, guiding your heart in the right way.
20 Rama'a aka'tima nene'za neginagi nehaza vahe'ene, rama'a zagagafamofo ame'are'ma nehaza vahe'enena, trago oteho.
Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat:
21 Aka tinte vahe'ene rama'a ne'zama ne' vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahe manigahaze. Hagi zamavu'ma mase vava vahera, kukena zamimo'a tagato tagatu hugahie.
For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed.
22 Kasema kante'nea negafa ke'a nentahinka, negrera'ma tvavamaresigenka kefenkamia otro.
Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.
23 Tamage kema mizase'nenunka zagorera otro, ama' antahizanki, huogu'ma rempima hugamisiazanki, antahi'ama huno refkoma hu'zana erio.
Get for yourself that which is true, and do not let it go for money; get wisdom and teaching and good sense.
24 Fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia mofavremofo nefa'a, tusi'a muse hugahie. Hagi ama' antahi'za eri'nea mofavre'agura, nefa'a muse huntegahie.
The father of the upright man will be glad, and he who has a wise child will have joy because of him.
25 E'inahu kavukva hunka negrera kfama azeri muse nehunka, ksegante'nea negrerana azeri muse huo.
Let your father and your mother be glad, let her who gave you birth have joy.
26 Mofavre'nimoke, kagu'tumoka'a Nagri nenaminka, kvuma ke'sanana, Nagri navu'navate kento.
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.
27 Monko avu'ava'ma huno Savri'ma huno vanoma nehia a'mo'a, murigankna higeno, vema ante'nea a'mo'ma savrima huno vanoma nehia a'mo'a, osi tinkerigna huno urami'neankino, ana tinkerifima uramisaza vahe'mo'za haviza hugahaze.
For a loose woman is a deep hollow, and a strange woman is a narrow water-hole.
28 Ana a'mo'a kumza vahe'kna huno kazeri savri hunaku kaveganteno mani'neankino, vene'nea azeri savri hanigeno, mani fatgo huno a'are'ma omani'zamo'a ra hugahie.
Yes, she is waiting secretly like a beast for its food, and deceit by her is increased among men.
29 Iza hazenkefina mani'vava higeno, iza asu zampina nemanie? Iza ke hakarea nehigeno, iza hara azeri o'netie? Iza avufamo hazenkea erigeno namuna nere? Iza avumo korankera nehie?
Who says, Oh! who says, Ah! who has violent arguments, who has grief, who has wounds without cause, whose eyes are dark?
30 E'i anazama fore'ma nehiana zazate'ma aka tima nenaza vahe'ene, hanave waini tima tagi havia hu'za ne'naza vahe'tmimofonte fore nehie.
Those who are seated late over the wine: those who go looking for mixed wine.
31 Atregeno wainimo'ma korankrema nehuno, agrema'amo taferopinti krakra huno mrenerino, knankente'ma fruma huno urami'nia zamo'a, kazeri kasanea osino.
Keep your eyes from looking on the wine when it is red, when its colour is bright in the cup, when it goes smoothly down:
32 Hianagi henka'a osifavemo kreankna nehuno, ha' osifavemo kamprino avuatgazama'a regatati huganteankna hugahie.
In the end, its bite is like that of a snake, its wound like the wound of a poison-snake.
33 Kavumo'a ruzahu ruzahu'za negenkeno, antahintahi kamo'a savri nehina, kema hanana kemo'a savri hugahie.
Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say twisted things.
34 Hagi e'inama nehanana, hageri amu'nompi me'nea ventefi mase'nankeno kranto kranto huno kazeri tore tore hiankna nehuno, ventemofo seli rente zafare mani'nankeno, zahomo kavregantugama hiankna hugahane.
Yes, you will be like him who takes his rest on the sea, or on the top of a sail-support.
35 Anage hugahane, nahazanagi nata onkrine hunka nehunka, kanona namizanagi antahina kena osu'no'e hugahane. Hanki nagrama ete otisuna, mago'ane ana tina negahue nehane.
They have overcome me, you will say, and I have no pain; they gave me blows without my feeling them: when will I be awake from my wine? I will go after it again.
