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 thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider well who is before thee;
2 Rama'a ne'zama ne' vahe'moka, kagraka'a knankenofi kazinuti taga hiankna nehane.
and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Rankva ne'mofo ne'zamo'a, kasanea osino. Na'ankure ana kaveteti, regavatga hugahie.
Be not desirous of his dainties; for they are deceitful food.
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.
Weary not thyself to become rich; cease from thine own intelligence:
5 Kavuma keramage'ma hanankna huno, feno zankamo'a fanane hugahie. Na'ankure agekona eri atareno tumpa namamo hareno hampompi mareriankna huno, afe hugahie.
wilt thou set thine eyes upon it, it is gone; for indeed it maketh itself wings and it flieth away as an eagle towards the heavens.
6 Veva osu ne'mo'ma ne'za emeno huno kagi hania nezantera ovuo. Knare ne'za krentesia nezantera, ksanegura osuo.
Eat thou not the food of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties.
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 he thinketh in his soul, so is he. Eat and drink! will he say unto thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8 Anama ne'nana ne'zana amu'atinetrenka, nanekema hu so'e hunte'nana zamo'a, amanezankna hugahie.
Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words.
9 Neginagi vahe'ma mani'nenafina keaga osuo, na'ankure ama' antahi'zanteti hanana kea, huhaviza hugahaze.
Speak not in the ears of a foolish [man], for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10 Tamagehe'mo'za koma re'ne'naza kanagi kana akasi kantugma osuge, megusa mofavremofo mopa kavunofi ahenka e'orio.
Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11 Na'ankure zamahoma ke'nia Nera hankave Ne' mani'neankino, tamagrira keaga Agra'a hurmantegahie.
for their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against thee.
12 Kagu'areti kavumro kea nentahinka, antahizama kami kere kagesa antenka antahio.
Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Mofavrema azeri fatgoma huzankura, korera osuo. Kagrama kanoma amisanana ofrigahie.
Withhold not correction from the child; for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die:
14 Azeri fatgo hu kanoma ami'zamo'a, fri vahe kumapima vuzankura agu amena agu'vazigahane. (Sheol h7585)
thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mofavre'nimoka ama' antahi'zama erisanana, Nagri nagu'amo'a muse nehuno,
My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine;
16 kagipinti'ma fatgo ke'ma antahi'sugeno'a, mika nagu'amo'a muse hugahie.
and my reins shall exult, when thy lips speak right things.
17 Kumi vahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmavakura kegasanea osuo. Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonku kore'ma hunteno agorga'ama manizanku maka kna, kagesa antahio.
Let not thy heart envy sinners, but [be thou] in the fear of Jehovah all the day;
18 Henkama fore hania zanku'ma tamage hunka kagesa nentahinka, amuha'ma nehana zamo'a amnezanknara osugahie.
for surely there is a result, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19 Mofavre'nimoka, ke'ni'a antahinka knare antahi'zana erinka, fatgo kante kagu'a antenka vuo.
Thou, my son, hear and be wise, and direct thy heart in the way.
20 Rama'a aka'tima nene'za neginagi nehaza vahe'ene, rama'a zagagafamofo ame'are'ma nehaza vahe'enena, trago oteho.
Be not among winebibbers, among riotous eaters of flesh.
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 the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness clotheth with rags.
22 Kasema kante'nea negafa ke'a nentahinka, negrera'ma tvavamaresigenka kefenkamia otro.
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy 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.
Buy the truth, and sell it not; wisdom, and instruction, and intelligence.
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 a righteous [man] shall greatly rejoice, and he that begetteth a wise [son] shall have joy of him:
25 E'inahu kavukva hunka negrera kfama azeri muse nehunka, ksegante'nea negrerana azeri muse huo.
let thy father and thy mother have joy, and let her that bore thee rejoice.
26 Mofavre'nimoke, kagu'tumoka'a Nagri nenaminka, kvuma ke'sanana, Nagri navu'navate kento.
My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe 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 whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
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.
She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous 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 hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who contentions? Who complaining? Who wounds without cause? Who redness of eyes?
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.
— They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try 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.
Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it sparkleth in the cup, and goeth down smoothly:
32 Hianagi henka'a osifavemo kreankna nehuno, ha' osifavemo kamprino avuatgazama'a regatati huganteankna hugahie.
at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Kavumo'a ruzahu ruzahu'za negenkeno, antahintahi kamo'a savri nehina, kema hanana kemo'a savri hugahie.
Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall speak froward 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.
and thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, and as he that lieth down upon the top of a mast:
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 smitten me, [and] I am not sore; they have beaten me, [and] I knew it not. When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.”
