Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 5

1 Mofavrenimoke, knare antahi'zane ama' antahi'zamofo kema kasamisuana kagesa antenka antahi so'e huo.

My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:

2 Anama hanunka ama' antahintahire nemaninka, keagama hananana antahintahine vahe'mo'za nehazankna hunka kea hugahane.

So that you may be ruled by a wise purpose, and your lips may keep knowledge.

3 Na'ankure savri a'mofo agipinti kemo'a, tume rima'amo haga hiankna nehinkeno, agipinti'ma atiramisia nanekemo'a, olivi masavemo fru huno karoro hiankna hugahie.

For honey is dropping from the lips of the strange woman, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

4 Hianagi refaregama kesanana, ana a'mo'a akahe trazankna nehuno, tare kaziga asane'nea kazinkna hu'ne.

But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword;

5 E'i ana a'mofo agamo'a fri'zampi uneramino, agama renakereno viazamo'a, fri vahe kerifi nevie. (Sheol h7585)

Her feet go down to death, and her steps to the underworld; (Sheol h7585)

6 Ana savari a'mo'a, asimu'ma erino mani kankura nontahino, kama via kamo'a fatgoa nosianagi antahino keno nosie.

She never keeps her mind on the road of life; her ways are uncertain, she has no knowledge.

7 E'ina hu'negu mofavrenimota ke'ni'a antahitama, amama tamasamisua kemofona tamagena huomiho.

Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you.

8 Ana savari a'mofona atrenka ogantu'a nemaninka, nomofo kasama'arera uravao osuo.

Go far away from her, do not come near the door of her house;

9 Anama hananana havi kagi e'nerinka, zahufafi kasefa vahe mani'nesanke'za, havi vahe'mo'za kazeri haviza hugahaze.

For fear that you may give your honour to others, and your wealth to strange men:

10 Onke'nesana vahe'mo'za hanaveka'a atrenka eri'nanazana, e'nerisageno, knare zantamima amuho hunka eritru huntesana zantamina ru vahe'mo'za erigahaze.

And strange men may be full of your wealth, and the fruit of your work go to the house of others;

11 Henkama frinaku'ma hanana knama esigeno'a, krimo'a kavufafina ra nehuno, kazeri zaferinage hinkenka karagi nerunka,

And you will be full of grief at the end of your life, when your flesh and your body are wasted;

12 anage hugahane, na'a hige'na navumaro kema nenasimige'na, navesra hunente'na, nazeri fatgo nehige'na, anankea ontahi'noane hugahane.

And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training;

13 Nahige'na rempi hunami vahe'mo'zama nazeri kante ante kema nasamiza vahe'mokizmi kea ontahi'noane hunka hugahane!

I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me!

14 Nagra mika vahe zamavurera haviza hu'na keforoe hugahane.

I was in almost all evil in the company of the people.

15 Ru vahe'mofo tintetira tina ono, kagra'a tintetike tina no, e'i a'ka'ane mani fatgo huzanku hu'ne.

Let water from your store and not that of others be your drink, and running water from your fountain.

16 Amanefina tinka'a ome tagi atre, eme tagitre osuo. Kagra a'enenke'za maso.

Let not your springs be flowing in the streets, or your streams of water in the open places.

17 Atregeno kagri a'mofo suzanke meno, aru a'nenena monkozana osuo.

Let them be for yourself only, not for other men with you.

18 Kasefa'ma mani'nenka e'rinana a'ka'ane muse hunka mani'negeno, Anumzamo'a asomu hugantegahie.

Let blessing be on your fountain; have joy in the wife of your early years.

19 A'ka'amo'a dia a' afu'mo'ma hiankna huno avesi avesi huno knare zantfa huneganteanki, amima'amo'a maka kna kavesizana kazeri knare nehina, kagri'ma kavesi kantenia zamo'a kazeri agrarega atre'na agri avesi'zampi manigahane.

As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.

20 Neve'enema mani fatgo huno'ma omanisia a'nea mofavre'nimoka ke'negeno kavufgamo'a oraotino. Atregeno amima'arera kavrenteno kanura okino.

Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?

21 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a miko kama vano hunana, ke'ankereno refako huno tage'negeta vano nehune.

For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he puts all his goings in the scales.

22 Kefozama nehia ne'mofona kefo avu'ava zama'amo'a kukomo azeriankna nehigeno, kumi'amo kina rentegeno nemanie.

The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin.

23 Agra'a avesizama kegavama osaniazamo hanigeno frigahie. Rama'a havizama haniazamo hanigeno, fanane hugahie.

He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way.
