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, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,
2 Rama'a ne'zama ne' vahe'moka, kagraka'a knankenofi kazinuti taga hiankna nehane.
And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.

Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
5 Kavuma keramage'ma hanankna huno, feno zankamo'a fanane hugahie. Na'ankure agekona eri atareno tumpa namamo hareno hampompi mareriankna huno, afe hugahie.
For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
6 Veva osu ne'mo'ma ne'za emeno huno kagi hania nezantera ovuo. Knare ne'za krentesia nezantera, ksanegura osuo.
Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to 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 hath thought in his soul, so [is] he, 'Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And 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 thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that [are] sweet.
9 Neginagi vahe'ma mani'nenafina keaga osuo, na'ankure ama' antahi'zanteti hanana kea, huhaviza hugahaze.
In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.

Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,

For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.

Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.

Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest. (Sheol h7585)

My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,

And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.

Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But — in the fear of Jehovah all the day.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
20 Rama'a aka'tima nene'za neginagi nehaza vahe'ene, rama'a zagagafamofo ame'are'ma nehaza vahe'enena, trago oteho.
Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones 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 quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.

Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.

Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.

For a harlot [is] a deep ditch, And a strange woman [is] a strait pit.

She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.

Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.

See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.
32 Hianagi henka'a osifavemo kreankna nehuno, ha' osifavemo kamprino avuatgazama'a regatati huganteankna hugahie.
Its latter end — as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.

Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.

And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on 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 smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake — I seek it yet again!'
