Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 6
1 Mofavrenimoke, tava'onkare'ma nemanisimo'ma nofi hugahue hanigenka aza hugahue hananano, rumofonku'ma huvempa hunka kaza hugahuema hananana,
[My] son, if thou become surety for thy friend, thou shalt deliver thine hand to an enemy.
2 kagraka'a huvempama hu'nenana kemo'ma kinama regatenigenka,
For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth.
3 mofavre'nimoka amana huo, hago agri azampi mani'nananki kagra'a kavufa anteraminka ana nete vunka, kasunku naneke ome hugeno, kina reogante'na amne fru hunka manigahane.
[My] son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend's account thou art come into the power of evil [men]: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.
4 Kavu tokora osunka, kavura omasenenka, ame hunka vuo.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber with thine eyelids;
5 Kagra dia afumo'ene namamo enema zagagafama ahe vahe'mofo azampinti ame huno freankna hunka, kagra'a kavufga kaguvazio.
that thou mayest deliver thyself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare.
6 Eri'zama e'ori feru vahe'motma kipazuvemoza nehaza zante ome negeta, rempi huta nentahita, knare antahi'zana eriho.
Go to the ant, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he.
7 Kipazuvemofona kva vahe'zmia omanigeno, zamazeri ante fatgohu kva vahe zamia omanigeno, kvama krizamante kva vahe zamia omani'neanagi,
For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master,
8 ne'zamo'ma rama'ama fore hianknafina nezama omane knafima nesagura, ne'zana eri atru nehaze.
he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest. Or go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work; whose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all: though weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom.
9 Eri'zama e'ori feru vahe'motma, nama'a zupa tamavura masegahaze? Nazupa masetamavuna segahaze?
How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? and when wilt thou awake out of sleep?
10 Osi'agna ko kavura masenka hinkrafora antegenko, osiagna ko mago'ane manifru nehunka, osiagna ko mago'ane kagemazampare kazana antenka manifru hananana,
Thou sleepest a little, and thou restest a little, and thou slumberest a short [time], and thou foldest thine arms over thy breast a little.
11 mago zanka'a omanetfa hanigenka, kumazafa vahemo atireti kazerino fenozanka'a erivagareankna hugahane.
Then poverty comes upon thee as an evil traveller, and want as a swift courier: but if thou be diligent, thine harvest shall arrive as a fountain, and poverty shall flee away as a bad courier.
12 Mago zazmi omane kefozama nehaza vahe'mo'za akrehe krehe zmageru aruza vano nehaze.
A foolish man and a transgressor goes in ways that are not good.
13 Ana vahe'mo'za havigema nehanu'za zamavu resukinegami'za, zamagiareti rekapasga nehu'za, zamazanteti'ene zamazankoreti'ene erigu'a hu'za avame'namera hugahaze.
And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers.
14 Havi avu'avaza'ma erifore'ma hu'zamo'a zamagu'afina avitenege'za, kefo avu'ava zana hakare zupa nehu'za, hazenkea eri hakare hu'za nevaze.
[His] perverse heart devises evils: at all times such a one causes troubles to a city.
15 E'ina hu'negu e'inahu vahetera hantka huno havizamo'a agritera eno, ame huno azeri haviza hanigeno, ana'ma azeri havizama hania knazama eritre kana omanetfa hugahie.
Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly; overthrow and irretrievable ruin.
16 Sigisi'a zama Ra Anumzamofoma agomanetea zantamina me'neanagi, seveni'a zamo'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera kasrino haviza me'ne.
For he rejoices in all things which God hates, and he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul.
17 Agra avufga erisga nehuno, ru vahe kefenkami atre'zane, havigema hu'zane, hazenke'a omane vahe'ma aheno korama'a eri fegi atre'zane,
The eye of the haughty, a tongue unjust, hands shedding the blood of the just;
18 havi antahintahizamo antahintahifima mevite'zane, havi zante'ma ame huno avreno neviazane ave'nosie.
and a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil, —[are hateful to God].
19 Keagama refkohu trate osu'nea zanku tamage nehie huno havige hu vahe'ma, zamagipinti'ma krunagema hu'zama atineramia zane, naga'afima hazenke zama eri hakare nehiazana Anumzamo'a agonete.
An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, and brings on quarrels between brethren.
20 Mofavrenimoke, negafa'ma kasamisia kasegea otretfa nehunka, negrera'ma rempi hugamisia kea amge'anto.
[My] son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the ordinances of thy mother:
21 Kagu'afi erintenka azeri antakro maka zupa nehunka, avaseseza hiankna hunka rugaginka knankempi anakio.
but bind them upon thy soul continually, and hang them as a chain about thy neck.
22 Kama vanoma hananana ana kemo kazeri fatgo nehuno, kavu'ma masesanana kegava huneganteno, masenesampinti'ma otisanana nanekea kasamigahie.
Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; that it may talk with thee when thou wakest.
23 Na'ankure ama ana kasegemo'a rampe tavikna higeno, amama rempima huneramia kemo'a masa megeno, kazeri fatgohu kavumro'ma antea kemo'a, mani'zamofo ka me'ne.
For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:
24 Savri a'nemo'za kazeri hava huzankura ana kemo kza nehina, neve'enema mani fatgo osu savari avu'avazante vanoma nehania a'mofo haganentake ageru'mo'a kazeri havizana osugahie.
to keep thee continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue.
25 Ana a'mofo agi agonagura kegasanea osuge, atregeno kavazu hunaku'ma avureti'ma revumi'ma hugamisia zamo'a kavazua osino.
Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.
26 Na'ankure savri a'enema mase zamo'a kazeri kefo regahianagi, vereti a'mo'ma kavazu haniana kasimu ka'a erigahie.
For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.
27 Akru huno neresia tevema hankeri kasumpima antesanana kukenaka'a azerino ontegahifi?
Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments?
28 Teve zugu'ma neresifima kaga vapa'ma vananana, kagagusa teonkasagegosifi?
or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet?
29 E'ina hukna hugahane, tava'onka'arema nemanisia ne'mofo a'enema masege, monkozama hananana hazenke erigahane.
So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her.
30 Aga'ma netenigeno ne'zama nesia zanku'ma kumzafama erisia vahera, rama'a tamarimpa kna hunontaze.
It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul:
31 Hu'neanagi ana ne'ma azerisageno'a, seveni'a zupa nama'aza eri'neo seveni'a zupa antegofetu huno miza segahie. Hagi atupa'ma hanuno'a, no'ma'afima ante'nesia fenoma'areti ene mizasegahie.
but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.
32 Hianagi ru ne'mofo a'enema maseno monkozama huntesia ne'mo'a, ana negi' avu'ava zama'areti agra'a azeri haviza nehie.
But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
33 Ahe'zama azeri agazema huntesaza zamo'a, agrite me'nesigeno agaze zamo'a vagaore agrite mevava hugahie.
He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off.
34 Na'ankure ana a'mofo neve'ma rimpama ahesia zamo marerisigeno nona huno kahenaku esiana asuntagi'zana agripina omanegosie.
For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 Ana hazenkere miza antege, rimpa azeri fru hu'naku rama'a zantami eme amisia zamo'a, azeri fru osugahie.
He will not forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts.
