Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 5

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

[My] son, attend to my wisdom, and apply your ear to my words;

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

that you may keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives you a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;

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 drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases your palate:

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

but afterwards you will find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than 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)

For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established. (Sheol h7585)

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

For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.

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

Now then, [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.

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

Remove your way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:

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

lest you give away your life to others, and your substance to the merciless:

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.

lest strangers be filled with your strength, and your labours come into the houses of strangers;

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

And you repent at last, when the flesh of your body is consumed,

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

and you shall say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!

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

I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.

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

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

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

Drink waters out of your own vessels, and out of your own springing wells.

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

Let not waters out of your fountain be spilt by you, but let your waters go into your streets.

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

Let them be only your own, and let no stranger partake with you.

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

Let your fountain of water be [truly] your own; and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

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.

Let [your] loving hart and your graceful colt company with you, and let her be considered your own, and be with you at all times; for ravished with her love you shall be greatly increased.

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

Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold yourself in the arms of a woman not your own.

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

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.

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

Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.

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

Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.
