Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 27
1 Okina e'inahu'za hugahue hunka kavufga rana osuo, na'ankure mago mago knamo'ma erino'ma e'nia zana ontahi'nane.
Do not make a noise about tomorrow, for you are not certain what a day's outcome may be.
2 Atregeno ru vahe'mo'za husga hunegantena, kagra'agura husga osuo. Rurega vahe'mo'za husga huganteho, kagra'a kavufga husga osuo.
Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
3 Havemo'a kna higeno, kasepamo'a tusi'a knanentake hu'neanagi, neginagi vahe'mo'zama nehaza zamavu'zmavamo'a, ana tarega zana agatereno tusi'a knanentake hu'ne.
A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these.
4 Rimpama ahe'zamo'a havizantfa higeno, asivazi zamo'a ti hageno eankna hugahianagi vahe'mofo zante'ma negeno arimpa haviza hu'zamo'a, tusia havizantfa hu'ne.
Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?
5 Havi avu'ava'ma hanigenkama amate huama huntenka azeri fatgo'ma hu'zamo'a, frakinkama avesima nentenka azeri fatgoma osanana zana agatere'ne.
Better is open protest than love kept secret.
6 Knampa kamo'ma kazeri fatgo hukuma katama kami'zamo'a, ha' vahekamo regavatga huno kagi'ma antako'ma hania avu'avara agatere'ne.
The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false.
7 Amu'ma hu'nesimo'a, tumemofo rima'a one atregahie. Hianagi agazanku'ma nehania vahe'mofona aka hu'nesia nezamo'agi, agitera haga hugahie.
The full man has no use for honey, but to the man in need of food every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Nonkuma zamire'ma maniso'e osu vahe'mo'za, namamo'zama nozamire manirava osu kanke kankema hazankna nehaze.
Like a bird wandering from the place of her eggs is a man wandering from his station.
9 Kavesima kanteno kavumroma ante'zamo'a, mnanentake masavemo'ene knare mnavovo zamo mnaviankna huno rone'amofo agu'a azeri muse hugahie.
Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.
10 Roneka'ane negafa rone'amofona kamefira huozamio. Hazenkema e'nerisunka kazama hinogura negafu nontega ovuo. Tava'onkare'ma nemanisimofo nontega vu'zamo'a, afete'ma mani'nenia nagafu nontegama vu'zana ageterene.
Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.
11 Mofavre'nimoka, ama' antahi'za e'nerigeno nagu'amo'a muse nehina, ana zamo'a knama nami'za huhaviza hunenantaza vahera kenona zamia huzamantegahie.
My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.
12 Knare antahi'zama me'nesia vahe'mo'a hazenkema agrite'ma eku'ma haniazana ko negeno, maniganenigeno agateregahie. Hianagi knare antahi'zama omane vahe'mo'a, avua onkeno ana hazenkefina vuno ufregahie.
The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.
13 Zamagenka antahinkama osu'nesana vahe'mo'za nofi'ma kagripinti hugahune hanagenka, amanea ozaminka nakre kuzmia avame zana erinege'za, ana nofi'ma hu'nesaza zana eme vakanegahie.
Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
14 Mago ne'mo'ma nanterama'afima kezatino, so'egane huno'ma haniana, vahe'ma sifna aheankna hugahie.
He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.
15 Ke fra nehuno kema huvavama nehia a'mo'a, nomo trovari huvava hiankna nehie.
Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.
16 E'ina hu kna a'nema zamazeri ante fatgohu kema zamasamia zamo'a, zaho'ma azeriankna nehuno, masave fre'nea azanteti azerigeno arugraru vaziankna hugahie.
He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.
17 Aenireti'ma, aenima kane'agonama nehiankna huno, vahe'mo'a, vahe'mofo antahintahia azeri fatgo hugahie.
Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.
18 Fiki zafama kegava hanimo'a, raga'a tagino negahie. Hagi iza'o kva'amofoma kegava huntesimo'a, ra agi agra erigahie.
Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.
19 Timpima kvugosama kanankna huno, kavukava'ma hanazamo'a kagu'afima me'neaza eri ama nehie.
Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another.
20 Fri vahe kuma'mo'ene, fri vahe'mo'za avi'ma notazankna huno, vahe'mofo zamavenesia zamo'a zamura nosie. (Sheol h7585)
The underworld and Abaddon are never full, and the eyes of man have never enough. (Sheol h7585)
21 Koline, silvama azeri agruma hunakura, tusi'a tevefi kre'za negazanagi, vahe'mofoma reheno negeana ragima amizanteti reheno nege.
The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.
22 Neginagi vahe'mofona neginagi avu'ava atresiegura, havereti witima refuzafupeno hona'a hareankna hunka zmahegahananagi, ana neginagi zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza zampintira, zamazeri otregahane.
Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.
23 Memene, sipisipi afukamo'zama nemaniza nomaniza zamia rezaganenka ke so'e hunka negenka, kagu'areti hunka kegava huzamanto.
Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;
24 Na'ankure, fenozamo'a mevava osanigeno, ragima eri'zamo'a mago naga nofitera meno ovugahie.
For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.
25 Trazama akafri atresigeno'ma kasefa hagesigeno agonaregati trazana erinoma ufresigeno'a,
The grass comes up and the young grass is seen, and the mountain plants are got in.
26 sipisipi afu'mo'zane meme afu'mo'za nenesageno, sipisipi afumofona azoka'aretira kukena hatino nentanino, meme afura mopama mizasega'are zagorera atreno zagoa erigahie.
The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:
27 Hagi meme afumofo ami rima'a, rama'a me'nenkeno agrane noma'afima nemaniza naga'amo'zane nenesageno, kazokzo eri'za mofane'amo'za nesazama'anena megahie.
There will be goats' milk enough for your food, and for the support of your servant-girls.
