Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 8
1 Knare antahintahi'zamo'ene antahi amahu antahi'zamo'a mago a'kna hu'neankino agerura eri antesga huno kezana netie.
Is not wisdom crying out, and the voice of knowledge sounding?
2 Agra kamofo tavaonte me'nea agonare, ka hatana hu'nefi oti'neno,
At the top of the highways, at the meeting of the roads, she takes her place;
3 rankumapi ufre'nea kante ene kampi otineno ranke huno kezana netie.
Where the roads go into the town her cry goes out, at the doorways her voice is loud:
4 Ana miko vahe'motmagu kezankea nehue. Vahe'motagu kezankea nehue.
I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men.
5 Antahi'zantmi omane vahe'motma eta knare'ma huno refakomahu antahi'zana emeriho. Neginagi antahi'zane vahe'motma, eta antahi amahu antahi'zana emeriho.
Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.
6 Kama antahiho kema nehuana, na'ankure mareri agatere'nea zanku nehue, maka nanekema hanua kemo'a, fatgo huno tamage kege tamasamigahue.
Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.
7 Nagra tamage kege nehu'na, havi kegagama nagipinti'ma hu'zankura nagonete.
For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me.
8 Maka nanekenimo'a tamage huno fatgo higeno, krunagene kazaki kema hu'zana omane'neanki,
All the words of my mouth are righteousness; there is nothing false or twisted in them.
9 ana maka kemo'a antahi'zane vahetera fatgo hu'ne. Ana antahi'zama erinaku'ma hakaza vahetera, fatgo hu'ne.
They are all true to him whose mind is awake, and straightforward to those who get knowledge.
10 Nagrama hiho hu'nama rempima huneramua kemo'a, silva agateregeno, antahi'zama eri'zamo'a, goli'a agatere'neanki eriho.
Take my teaching, and not silver; get knowledge in place of the best gold.
11 Na'ankure knare antahi'zamo'a mareri agatere'nea havea agatereno, kavesi kavesima nehunka razane hunka nehanazana agatere'ne.
For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her.
12 Nagra knare antahi'zamo'na knare huno refakohu avu'ava'zane nemanue, Nagripi antahi'zana me'neanki'na miko zana nagrake refko hu'na negoe.
I, wisdom, have made wise behaviour my near relation; I am seen to be the special friend of wise purposes.
13 Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro'ma hunte'zana kefo avu'ava'ma huzankura kagotegahie. Agra'a agima erisga nehuno, avufga ra nehuno, havi avu'ava nehuno, akrahe akrehe ageru'ma aru'zana navesra hunentoe.
The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me.
14 Knare antahi'zama ami'zane, refakoma hu'zana nagripi me'ne. Nagra antahi ama'ma hu'zane hanavenena nagri zane.
Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine.
15 Nagra mani'noge'za kini vahe'mo'za kegava nehazageno, ugota kva vahe'mo'za fatgo hu'nea kasegea retro nehaze.
Through me kings have their power, and rulers give right decisions.
16 Kva vahe'mo'za nagra zamaza nehuge'za, vahera zamavare fatgo hu'za nevazageno, trakere kva vahe'mo'za fatgo hu'za refkoa nehaze.
Through me chiefs have authority, and the noble ones are judging in righteousness.
17 Iza'o nagri'ma avesi nentemofona, nagra avesi nentoe. Hagi nagriku'ma hakre'nimo'a, nagrira nagefore hugahie.
Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me.
18 Nagripi fenozane, ra agima eri'zana me'ne. Hanavetino za'zate'ma meno vu fenozane, fatgo avu'ava zana nagripi me'ne.
Wealth and honour are in my hands, even wealth without equal and righteousness.
19 Nagrama nezamua zamo'a, golia agatenereno knare silvama mizama nesazazana agatere'ne.
My fruit is better than gold, even than the best gold; and my increase is more to be desired than silver.
20 Nagra fatgo avu'ava zamofo kante nevu'na, fatgo huno refakoma hu'zamofo kantamimpi nevue.
I go in the road of righteousness, in the way of right judging:
21 Iza'zo nagri'ma zamavesi nantesaza naga'mo'za, fenona erisanti neharesage'na, nagra feno nozamifina zago'amo'ma mareri zantamina antevi tezamantegahue.
So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.
22 Ra Anumzamo'a pusazana nagri nazeri fore huteno, mika'zana henka tro hu'ne.
The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past.
23 Korapara ama mopama tro osu'neno ese zana nagri huhamprinante'ne.
From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.
24 Nagra fore hutogeno henka hagerina tro higeno, kampui tintamimo'a hanatino vu'ne.
When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.
25 Ranra agonane, onensa agona forera huno menima antenerera omanenege'na, nagra pusante fore hu'noe.
Before the mountains were put in their places, before the hills was my birth:
26 Miko mopane, hofa kokama ama mopafi me'neane, kugusopa nazana henka tro hu'ne.
When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world.
27 Nagra korapa mani'nogeno monarera mika'zana tro hunenteno, hagerina tro huntegeno, tavumo'ma ometre emetre'ma hutera evu'ne.
When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:
28 Nagra ko mani'nogeno anagamua hampona tro hunenteno, tinkampu'ima hanatino tiru'ma umarenia keria tro hu'ne.
When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:
29 Nagra korapa mani'nogeno hagerinkura, e'i avamente tirura marenka emetro huno kase hunenteno, tiru'ma maresia mopa trohu'ne.
When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:
30 Nagra maka'zama tro'ma hu'nea Ne'mofo tavaonte mani'ne'na, aza nehugeno muse nehige'na maka kna nagranena rama'a muse nehue.
Then I was by his side, as a master workman: and I was his delight from day to day, playing before him at all times;
31 Maka kokama tro'ma hu'nea zanku'ene vahe'ma anampima mani'nea zankura, nagra tusi'a muse nehue.
Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
32 E'ina hu'negu mofavre'nimoka ke'ni'a antahinamio, na'ankure nagri navu'nava zama avaririsaza vahe'mo'za muse hugahaze.
Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.
33 Kavumro'ma antesua kea nentahinka, ama antahi'zana e'nerinka kavesra huontenka amage anto.
Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.
34 Ke'ni'ama nentahi'za, kumanimofo atirami kante'ma knane knanema naveganente'za, kahani'are'ma navegama nentaza vahe'mo'za, tusi muse hugahaze.
Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.
35 Na'ankure nagriku'ma hakremo'a, nomaniza hakeno erifore nehigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a avesinente.
For whoever gets me gets life, and grace from the Lord will come to him.
36 Hianagi ha'marenanteno kumi'ma nehimo'a, agra'a hazenke enerie. Iza'o avesrama hunantemo'a, fri'zamofo avesinente.
But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death.
