Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 4
1 Mofavre naga'nimota, negafanama rempi hugamisua kavumro kema kagesa antahi ankeresunka, antahi ama' hu antahintahia erigahane.
Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 Nagra knare antahiza negamuanki, rempi hugamisua kea kamefira huonto.
For I give you a good gift; forsake you not my law.
3 Nagrama nenfa nompima onensa mofavrema mani'norera, anta'nimofo magoke mofavre'a mani'nogeno kegava hunante'negeno,
For I also was a son obedient to [my] father, and loved in the sight of [my] mother:
4 amanage huno nenfa'a rempi hunami'ne, Mika kema kasamisua kea kagu tumote erintenka azeri hampo'na nehunka, kasegeni'a amage'ma antesunka, knare hunka manigahane.
who spoke and instructed me, [saying], Let our speech be fixed in your heart, keep [our] commandments, forget them not:
5 Knare antahintahia erio, antahi amahu antahi'zana erio, kasamisua nanekea kagera okaninka, kamagena huontetfa'za huo.
and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.
6 Knare antahintahimofoma kamagenama huontesankeno'a, kagu nevazina avesima antesankeno'a, kegava hugantegahie.
And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to you: love it, and it shall keep you.
7 Knare antahintahi'zana raza me'neanki erio. Hagi maka'zana erigahananagi agatere'nea zana knare antahi'za erio.
8 Knare antahintahi zana azerisga nehugeno, kagrira kazeri sga hino, agri'ma azeri akonama hanankeno'a, kagrira ran kagi kamigahie.
Secure it, and it shall exalt you: honor it, that it may embrace you;
9 Ana antahi'zamo'a, rimpa fru'zanu konariria kasenire huneganteno, kinimofo asinentike fetori kasenire resi hugantegahie.
that it may give to your head a crown of graces, and may cover you with a crown of delight.
10 Mofavrenimoke, nagrama huankema antahitenka, ana kema avaririnka amage'ma antesunka, rama'a kafuzage maninka vugahane.
Hear, [my] son, and receive my words; and the years of your life shall be increased, that the resources of your life may be many.
11 Knare antahizampi vuogu nagra kazeri fatgo nehu'na, knare fatgo kante kavare'na nevue.
For I teach you the ways of wisdom; and I cause you to go in right paths.
12 Ana kantema kagama renakerenka vananana mago zamo'a asevazi ogantena, traginaku'ma hananana tanafara osugahane.
For when you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you run, you shall not be distressed.
13 Kagrama hananegu'ma amama kasamua kea otrenka azeri hanavenetinka atregeno ovino. Na'ankure e'i ana kema huogu'ma rempima hunegamua kemo'a mani'zanka'agna hugahie.
Take hold of my instruction; let it not go, —but keep it for yourself for your life.
14 Havi kefo avu'ava hania vahe'mofo kantera ovunka, haviza huno kefoza hu'ne'nia vahe'mo hania zana ovaririo.
Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.
15 Ana kantera ovunka, atrenka rukagesenka vugahuema hantega vuo.
In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not there; but turn from them, and pass away.
16 Na'ankure zamagra kefo avu'ava zama osu'nesu'za zamavura ovase'za mani'ne'za kefozana hute'za zamavura masegahaze. Vahera zamazeri haviza hutesuzage, zamavura vasegahaze.
For they can’t sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.
17 Kefo avu'ava'ma hu'zana, breti neankna nehu'za, hazenkema hu'zana waini ti ne'za negi neankna nehaze.
For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression.
18 Hianagi fatgo vahe'mofo mani'zamo'a, zagemo zahufa nehanatino remsa hume ne-eno, eme remsa huno feru aseankna nehie.
But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come.
19 Hianagi havi avu'ava ene vahe'mofo mani'zamo'a, hani hiankna hu'neanki'za, ana vahe'mo'za na'amo zamazeri tanafa nehie nonkaze.
But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble.
20 Nagrama huankere mofavrenimoka kagesa antenenka, mika keni'a antahi ankero.
[My] son, attend to my speech; and apply your ear to my words:
21 Hagi ana nanekea kavure antenenka negenka, ana mika kea kagu'afi erintenka kegava huo.
that your fountains may not fail you; keep them in [your] heart.
22 Na'ankure iza'o ana kema erino agu'afima antemofona, mani'zama'amo'a knare hanigeno, mika avufgamo'a knare hugahie.
For they are life to those that find them, and health to all [their] flesh.
23 Ana mika'zana hugahananagi agatere'nea zama hananana, antahi zanka'a kegavahu so'e huo. Na'ankure e'i tamage asimu erisana tinkampui me'ne.
Keep your heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life.
24 Havigema hu'zana netrenka, krunagema kagipinti'ma atiramizankura atregeno afete meno.
Remove from you a froward mouth, and put far away from you unjust lips.
25 Kavua kegantigama osunka, ke fatgo hunka kavugage kavua kenka vuo.
Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids assent [to] just [things].
26 Kagama rentenkama vanana kana kva hu'nenka, kavua kenka nevugeno, mika zamo'a kagritera agafa huno eme hanavetigahie.
Make straight paths for your feet, and order your ways aright.
27 Kagia antifi omerege amafi emerege osunka, kagamo'ma kefo avu'avapima kavareno vuzankura kva huo.
Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away your foot from an evil way.
