< 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.
Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
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 praise you, and not your own mouth; 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 is a burden; but a fool’s provocation 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 cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
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 rebuke than hidden 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 faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
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 loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Nonkuma zamire'ma maniso'e osu vahe'mo'za, namamo'zama nozamire manirava osu kanke kankema hazankna nehaze.
As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Kavesima kanteno kavumroma ante'zamo'a, mnanentake masavemo'ene knare mnavovo zamo mnaviankna huno rone'amofo agu'a azeri muse hugahie.
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
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.
Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbour who is near is better than a distant brother.
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.
Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
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 prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
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 his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 Mago ne'mo'ma nanterama'afima kezatino, so'egane huno'ma haniana, vahe'ma sifna aheankna hugahie.
He who blesses his neighbour with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
15 Ke fra nehuno kema huvavama nehia a'mo'a, nomo trovari huvava hiankna nehie.
A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
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.
restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
17 Aenireti'ma, aenima kane'agonama nehiankna huno, vahe'mo'a, vahe'mofo antahintahia azeri fatgo hugahie.
Iron sharpens iron; so 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.
Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honoured.
19 Timpima kvugosama kanankna huno, kavukava'ma hanazamo'a kagu'afima me'neaza eri ama nehie.
Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
20 Fri vahe kuma'mo'ene, fri vahe'mo'za avi'ma notazankna huno, vahe'mofo zamavenesia zamo'a zamura nosie. (Sheol )
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied. (Sheol )
21 Koline, silvama azeri agruma hunakura, tusi'a tevefi kre'za negazanagi, vahe'mofoma reheno negeana ragima amizanteti reheno nege.
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
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 grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
23 Memene, sipisipi afukamo'zama nemaniza nomaniza zamia rezaganenka ke so'e hunka negenka, kagu'areti hunka kegava huzamanto.
Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
24 Na'ankure, fenozamo'a mevava osanigeno, ragima eri'zamo'a mago naga nofitera meno ovugahie.
for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25 Trazama akafri atresigeno'ma kasefa hagesigeno agonaregati trazana erinoma ufresigeno'a,
The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered 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 goats are the price 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 plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
