Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 26
1 Neginagi vahe'ma ragima amizamo'a, zage knafi ko' ariankna nehigeno, ne'zamo afure knafi ko' ariankna huno knarera nosie.
As snow is in summer, and as rain in harvest: so is honor not seemly to a fool.
2 Mago'mo'ma hazenkema osu'nenigeno kazusi hunte kema hanigeno'a, ana kazusi kemo'a kisave namamo mika zupa manigsa osuno hareno vano vano nehiankna huno, vahetera ana kazusi kemo'a forera osugahie.
As the bird [cometh] to flit away, as the swallow, to fly off: so will an undeserved curse not come [to fulfillment].
3 Hosi afura sefu knonu ahe'za azeri ante fatgo nehazageno, donki afumofona aeni zamagipina rente'naza zante zamavazu hu'za zamazeri fatgo nehaze. Hagi neginagi vahera kanonteti zamagumpi zamahe'za zamazeri fatgo hugahaze.
A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Neginagi vahe'mofona neginagi naneke zamirera kenona huozamanto, anama hananana zamagri kna hunka neginagi vahe manigahane.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest thou also become equal unto him.
5 Antahiso'e hutenka neginagi vahe'mo'za, neginagi nanekema hanaza nanekerera, kenona zmia huzamanto, ru zamagra antahisazana knare antahiza eri'none hugahaze.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 Neginagi vahe'mofoma katogema huntesankeno kema erino vaniazamo'a, mago kaga akafri atreankna nehuno, avuatga ti neankna hugahane.
He choppeth off the feet, and drinketh vexation, that sendeth important messages by the hand of a fool.
7 Neginagi vahe'mo'ma knare nomanizamofo nanekema hu'zamo'a, vahe'mofoma frino sti'nea agamo eri'za e'oriankna huno, ana naneke'amo'a erizana e'origahie.
Too feebly hang down the thighs on a lame man: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 Neginagi antahi'zane vahe'ma ra zamagima zmizamo'a, kumi'atifima have erinteno ahe atrenaku anteankna nehie.
As is the one that bindeth a stone fast in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9 Neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'zama knare nomanizamofo naneke hanazana, negi ti neno neginagi hu'nea vahe'mo, ave'ave nofi azampi azerineno traka truku huno vano hiankna nehie.
[As] a thorn that is come into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Neginagi antahi'zane vahe'ene karankama enevanaza vahe'ma zagore'ma eri'za erisazegu'ma zamavaresia zamo'a, keve ome ahetre emehetre huno rama'a vahe zamaheankna hugahie.
A master injureth all things when he hireth a fool or hireth mere rovers.
11 Kramo'ma amu'ma atitrenere'ma eteno viaza hu'za neginagi vahe'mo'za koma nehaza neginagi zamavu'zmavara hutere nehaze.
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so doth a fool repeat to act in his folly.
12 Neginagi vahe'mo'za amuhama hazazamo'a, ama' antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'none hu'za antahiza vahera zamagateneraze.
When thou seest a man wise in his own eyes, then is there more hope for a fool than for him.
13 Kampine ra kumamofo kantamimpina ha' zaga laioni manine hu'za feru vahe'mo'za nehaze!
The slothful saith, There is a leopard in the way: a lion is between the streets.
14 Kafamo'ma hantintenare'ma me'neno anagino erigino hiankna hu'za, feru vahe'mo'za nemasaza tafe zamire, rukrahe rukrahe nehaze.
As a door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 Feru vahe'mo'a ne'zama ante tafepintira ne'zana erigahianagi, agipina erinteno nezankura avesra hugahie.
Hath the slothful hidden his hand in the dish, it wearieth him to bring it back again to his mouth.
16 Feru vahe'mo'a agragu'ma antahiana, 7nia knare antahi'zane vahera, nagra zamagetere'noe huno nentahie.
The slothful is wiser in his own eyes, than seven men that can give wise answers.
17 Rumozama ha' frama nehazafima, anintaka huno kema hu'zamo'a, kramofo agesare avazu huno viankna nehie.
As is one that taketh hold of a dog by the ears, so is he that passing by becometh excited about a dispute which concerneth him not.
18 Tava'oma'are nemanimofoma revatga nehuno, kiza zokago ke hugantoe huno'ma nehimo'a, negi ne'mo teve nerea keve ome ahetre eme ahetre hiankna nehie.
As one fatigueth himself shooting off firebrands, arrows, and death:
So is the man that hath cheated his neighbor, and saith, Behold, I am only jesting.
20 Hagege teve rampama omanesigeno'a, tevea rukru huno ontegahie. Hagi vahe zamefi kema hu'zama omanesigeno'a, ha' frama hu'zana omanegosie.
Where there is no wood, the fire goeth out: so where there is no whisperer, strife is silenced.
21 Tevemo'a tanknuzare tevea nereno hagage teve rampare rukru huno tevea nereankna hu'za keframa vazi vahe'mo'za, ha'ma hu'zana eri agafa nehaze.
As charcoals are added to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man fitted to enkindle a dispute.
22 Vahe'ma amefi agenke hu kemo'a, haganentake ne'zankna hu'neankino, vahe'mofo agu'afinka unefre.
The words of a whisperer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost chambers of the body.
23 Vahe'ma azeri havizahu antahi'zama kagu'afima me'negenka, amne kagiteti'ma fru kema humisanana, mopa kavomofo amega'a silva masave frenteno eri knare hiankna hugahane.
Like silver dross laid over an earthen vessel, so are burning lips with a bad heart.
24 Mago'mo'ma avesra hunentesia vahe'mofoma amega agiteti avurera so'e ke humigahianagi, agu'afina antahi muginente.
With his lips dissembleth he that hateth, and within himself layeth he up deceit:
25 Knare kema hanigenka ana kegura tamage hunka antahiomio, na'ankure agu'afina 7ni'a kasrino agote'zamo avite'ne.
Though he make his voice sound ever so graciously, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 E'i ana kefo antahi'zana frakigahianagi, mika veamo'za, kefo avu'ava'afi eama hanige'za kegahaze.
If one's hatred be covered by deception, then shall be laid bare his wickedness before a [whole] assembly.
27 Iza'o kerima asentesimo'a, anama asentesia kerifi agra'a tamisigeno, iza'o havema rezahe huno marenerinimofona, ana havemo'a ete eramino havema retufeno marerino nevanimofona eme rehapatigahie.
Whoso diggeth a pit will fall therein; and upon him that rolleth a stone, will it return.
28 Havi kema hu vahe'mo'a, avesrama hunentea vahera, havige huno azeri havizahu ke hunente. Rumofo zante ke'neno masave kema hu'zamo'a, ruga'a vahera azeri haviza nehie.
A lying tongue hateth those that are crushed by it; and a flattering mouth prepareth [others'] downfall.
