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.
Boast not of to-morrow; for you know not what the next day shall bring forth.
2 Atregeno ru vahe'mo'za husga hunegantena, kagra'agura husga osuo. Rurega vahe'mo'za husga huganteho, kagra'a kavufga husga osuo.
Let your neighbour, and not your own mouth, praise you; a stranger, and not your own 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 is heavy, and sand cumbersome; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both.
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 merciless, and anger sharp: but envy can bear nothing.
5 Havi avu'ava'ma hanigenkama amate huama huntenka azeri fatgo'ma hu'zamo'a, frakinkama avesima nentenka azeri fatgoma osanana zana agatere'ne.
Open reproofs are better than secret love.
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 more to be trusted than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy.
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.
A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
8 Nonkuma zamire'ma maniso'e osu vahe'mo'za, namamo'zama nozamire manirava osu kanke kankema hazankna nehaze.
As when a bird flies down from its own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.
9 Kavesima kanteno kavumroma ante'zamo'a, mnanentake masavemo'ene knare mnavovo zamo mnaviankna huno rone'amofo agu'a azeri muse hugahie.
The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
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.
Your own friend, and your father's friend, forsake not; and when you are in distress go not into your brother's house: better is a friend [that is] near than a brother living 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.
Son, be wise, that your heart may rejoice; and remove you from yourself reproachful words.
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.
A wise man, when evils are approaching, hides himself; but fools pass on, and will be punished.
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 away the man's garment, (for a scorner has passed by) whoever lays waste another's goods.
14 Mago ne'mo'ma nanterama'afima kezatino, so'egane huno'ma haniana, vahe'ma sifna aheankna hugahie.
Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses [him].
15 Ke fra nehuno kema huvavama nehia a'mo'a, nomo trovari huvava hiankna nehie.
On a stormy day drops [of rain] drive a man out of his house; so also does a railing woman [drive a man] out of his own house.
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.
The north wind is sharp, but it is called by name propitious.
17 Aenireti'ma, aenima kane'agonama nehiankna huno, vahe'mo'a, vahe'mofo antahintahia azeri fatgo hugahie.
Iron sharpens iron; and a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
18 Fiki zafama kegava hanimo'a, raga'a tagino negahie. Hagi iza'o kva'amofoma kegava huntesimo'a, ra agi agra erigahie.
He that plants a fig tree shall eat the fruits of it: so he that waits on his own master shall be honoured.
19 Timpima kvugosama kanankna huno, kavukava'ma hanazamo'a kagu'afima me'neaza eri ama nehie.
As faces are not like [other] faces, so neither are the thoughts of men.
20 Fri vahe kuma'mo'ene, fri vahe'mo'za avi'ma notazankna huno, vahe'mofo zamavenesia zamo'a zamura nosie. (Sheol h7585)
Hell and destruction are not filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable. [He that fixes his eye is an abomination to the Lord; and the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.] (Sheol h7585)
21 Koline, silvama azeri agruma hunakura, tusi'a tevefi kre'za negazanagi, vahe'mofoma reheno negeana ragima amizanteti reheno nege.
Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.
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.
Though you scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, you will [still] in no wise remove his folly from him.
23 Memene, sipisipi afukamo'zama nemaniza nomaniza zamia rezaganenka ke so'e hunka negenka, kagu'areti hunka kegava huzamanto.
Do you thoroughly know the number of your flock, and pay attention to your herds.
24 Na'ankure, fenozamo'a mevava osanigeno, ragima eri'zamo'a mago naga nofitera meno ovugahie.
For a man [has] not strength and power for ever; neither does he transmit it from generation to generation.

Take care of the herbage in the field, and you shall cut grass, and gather the mountain hay;
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.
that you may have [wool of] sheep for clothing: pay attention to the land, that you may have lambs.
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.
[My] son, you have from me words very useful for your life, and for the life of your servants.
