Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 9
1 Knare antahi'zamo'a mago a'kna hu'neankino noma'a negino, 7ni'a noma azeri oti zafa antreno eriso'e nehie.
[It is as though] wisdom [is a woman who] has built a [big] house for herself, and has set up seven columns [to support the roof],
2 Hagi ana a'mo'a ra ne'za retro nehuno, waini tina tro huno nenteno, ne'zama ante trara retro hunte'ne.
and has slaughtered an animal [and cooked the meat], and has mixed [nice spices] in the wine, and has put [the food] on the table.
3 Ana huteno eri'za a'ne'a, vahe ome kehihogu hunezamanteno, agra rankumapina marerisga hunereti ke'zana atino,
[It is as though then] she sent out her servant women to call out from the highest place in the town,
4 tamagi omane vahe'motane refakoma hutama kezampima atupa'ma hu'nesamota,
“You people who need to understand more, come in!” And to those who are ignorant, [it is as though] she calls out,
5 rukrehe huta nagrite etma ne'zana eme neneta, waini tima tro'ma hunte'noana eme neho.
“Come and eat the food that I [have prepared], and drink the [good] wine that I have mixed!
6 Hagi neginagi kavukava'ma nehanazana netrenka nomanizanka'a agafa hunka erintese nehunka knare antahintahizana rempi hunka nentahinka anazana hunka vuo.
(Leave/Go away from) [other] foolish people, and [if you do that, you will continue to] live. Walk on the road that will enable you to (have knowledge/know what is true and what is not true).”
7 Azanava kema hu vahe'mofoma azeri fatgoma hananana, kema asamisana kegura huhaviza hugantegahie. Kefo avu'ava'ma nehanimofo azeri fatgo hu kema hananana, ana kegura kiza zokago ke hugantegahie.
If you rebuke someone who will not allow others to correct him, he will insult you. If you reprove/scold an evil man, he will hurt you.
8 Ana hu'negu azanava ke'ma nehia vahera azeri fatgo osuo, avesra hugantegahie. Ama' antahi'zane vahe'ma azeri fatgoma hanankeno'a, avesigantegahie.
Do not rebuke someone who will not allow others to (correct him/tell him what he has done is wrong), because he will hate you for doing that. [But] if you rebuke a wise person, he will respect you.
9 Ama' antahintahine vahe avumrora nentegeno mago'ane antahintahifina, ama huno manino. Fatgo avu'ava zane ne' rempi hunemigeno antahintahi'afina mago'ane antahi'zana erino.
If you give instruction to wise people, they will become wiser. And if you teach righteous people, they will learn more.
10 Ramofoma koro'ma hunteno agorga'ama mani'zamo'a, knare antahi'zamofo agafa me'ne. Ruotage'ma Hu'nemofo kagra antahi ama'ma hananana, ama' antahi'za erigahane.
If you want to be wise, you must start by revering Yahweh, and if you know God, the Holy One, you will understand [which teachings are wise/true].
11 Na'ankure knare antahi'zamo'a huno, nagriteti za'zakna nemaninka mago'ane rama'a kafu manigahane hu'ne.
If you become wise, you will live many years [DOU].
12 Kagrama ama' antahizama erisanana, knare antahi'zamo'a, mizama'a kamigahie. Kagrama kiza zokagoma huntesanana kagra'a haviza hugahane.
If you are wise, you are the one who will benefit from it; if you ridicule [becoming wise], you are the one who will suffer.
13 Neginagi avu'ava'ma hu'zamo'a mago a'mo rankege nehiankna hu'neankino, ke antahi'zama'a omanegeno, antahintahizana agripina omane'ne.
Foolish women talk loudly; they are ignorant and are never ashamed [of the wrong things that they do].
14 Agrira noma'amo'a rankumamofona mesga huno me'negeno kahama'are manineno,
They sit at the doors of their houses [or] they sit on the top [of the hills] in the town,
15 zamagra'a erizante'ma vu fatgo hu'za kante'ma agatere'za vu'za e'zama haza vahekura, kezatino,
and they call out to the men who are passing by, who are trying to be concerned with their own affairs,
16 atrenke'za zamagi omne vahe'mo'za rukrahe hu'za eho, nehuno refko hu'zama ke ama' osu'naza vahe'mokizmigura kea nehie.
“You people who need to understand more, come into [my house]!” And to those who are ignorant, they call out,
17 Kumzafama ase'nana timo'a knare haga hugahie. Hagi ne'zama kagragu oku'ama ne'nana ne'zamo'a haga hugahie.
“[Just as] water which you have stolen tastes very good and food that you eat by yourself tastes the best, [if you have sex secretly with someone to whom you are not married, you will enjoy it very much].”
18 Hianagi fri'za me'ne hu'za nontahi'za, ko'ma ana a'mofo nontegama vu'naza vahe'mo'zama fri'naza zankura nontahize. (Sheol h7585)
But men who go to those women’s houses do not know that those who have gone there are now dead; they have descended down into the deepest parts of the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
