When you sit down to eat with a leader, pay close attention to what has been set before your face,

For those who waste time drinking, and who surrender themselves to symbols, will be consumed. And those who sleep will be clothed in rags.

Listen to your father, who conceived you. And do not despise your mother, when she is old.

My son, offer me your heart, and let your eyes keep to 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 pit, and a foreign woman is a constricted well.

Is it not those who linger over wine, and who strive to be drinking from their cups?

Do not gaze into the wine when it turns gold, when its color shines in the glass. It enters pleasantly,
32 Hianagi henka'a osifavemo kreankna nehuno, ha' osifavemo kamprino avuatgazama'a regatati huganteankna hugahie.
but in the end, it will bite like a snake, and it will spread poison like a king of snakes.
33 Kavumo'a ruzahu ruzahu'za negenkeno, antahintahi kamo'a savri nehina, kema hanana kemo'a savri hugahie.
Your eyes will see women who are outsiders, and your heart will utter perversities.
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.
And you will be like someone sleeping in the middle of the sea, and like a pilot, fast asleep, who has lost his hold on the helm.
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.
And you will say: “They have beaten me, but I did not feel pain. They have dragged me, and I did not realize it. When will I awaken and find more wine?”
