Proverbs 20

1 Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

Waini tima nenea vahe'mofona azeri neginagi higeno, vahe'ma huhaviza hu kea nehigeno, aka timo'a vahe'mofona azeri negi nenkeno ke huhaviza nehuno hara hugahie. Waini ti neno neginagi hu vahe'mofona, agripina ama' antahi'zana omanegahie.

2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

Kinimofo arimpa akahe zamo'a, laionimo rankrafa hiankna hu'ne. Kini vahe'mofo azeri arimpa ahe'simofona, ahe frigahie.

3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.

Haframa hu'zanku'ma mani kore huno agatere'zamo'a, ra agi erigahie. Hianagi neginagi vahe'mo'za ame hu'za hafra nehaze.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Feru vahe'mo'ma hozama ante knare'ma mopama rekorino hozama ontesuno'a, hozama hamare knarera ne'zana ohamaregahie.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Vahe'mofo antahi'zamo'a tirukna huno me'neanagi, ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'a ana tirupintira ana antahi'zana afi anaga netre.

6 Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

Rama'a vahe'mo'za, tavesi negantone hugahazanagi, mago mago vahe'mo'za tamage hu'za kavesigantegahaze.

7 A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

Fatgo avu'ava'ene ne'mo'a, mani fatgo huno nemanie. Agri mofavre zagamo'za, asomu erigahaze.

8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.

Kini vahe'mo'ma keagama refako hunakura trate mani'neno, keaga refko huno havi avu'ava zana ke fore nehie.

9 Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin”?

Nagu'amo'a fatgo higena, nagra agru hu'noankino nagripina kumira omane'ne huno iza hugahie?

10 Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

Havige hu'za maka'zama refko hu'za kna'ama ke'zane, havige hu'za avamente refkoma osu'zanena Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huno agote'nezmante.

11 Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

Mofavremofona avu'avate negenka, agri avu'avamo'a agru hu'neanki, fatgo mofavre mani'neanki hugahane.

12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them.

Tagesama me'neana keaga antahi'zane, tavuragama me'neana tavuma ke'za me'neankino, tarega'zana Ra Anumzamo museza tami'ne.

13 Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

Kagrama kavu'ma masetenka manizankuma kavesi kavesima haniana, kamuntera omanegosie. Kavu'ma omasesanana ne'zama nesana zamo'a rama'a megahie.

14 “It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

Knare osu'ne! Knare osune! Huno mago'a zama mizama seku'ma himo'a nehie. Hianagi mizaseno kantegama nevuno'a, ana zankura knare'za erue huno rama'a musenke hume nevie.

15 There is gold and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.

Antahi'zama ami kemo'a, goline zago'amo'ma marerisa havea agetere'ne.

16 Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

Onke'nenana vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma nehinkeno magomo apasegahue hanigenka, anamofo anakreku'a huvame hunka eri'negeno, ana nofi'ma hu'neazana eme apaseno. Savri a'mo'ma nofi'ma hanigeno'ma mago'mo apasegahuema hanigenka, aza hu'na apasentegahue huno kaminia zana erio.

17 Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.

Kumzafa kave'mo'a haganentake hugahianagi, refuzufupe havemo kagipi aviteno kagi traga hiankna henka'a hugahie.

18 Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!

Antahi'zana vahepinti eritenka eri'zama eri antahi'zana retro huo. Hagi knare antahi'zama mago'mofompinti'ma e'orinesunka hatera ovuo.

19 He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

Vahe zamagenkema hu vahe'mokizmi oku'zana hu ama nehaze. E'ina hu'negu vahe zamagenkema hu vahe enena tragotenka omanio.

20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

Nerera nefama huhaviza huntesia vahe'mofona tavi'amo asu hanigeno kumazu hanimpi maniankna huno frigahie.

21 An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.

Arera afama ofri mani'nesigeno'ma erisinti haregahanema hu'nesia zama ame'ama huno erisia mofavremo'a, atuparega asimu'a omanegosie.

22 Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

Kefo avu'ava'ma hugante'sagenka anahukna hu'na nona huzamantegahue osuo. Hagi avega antenegeno Ra Anumzamo kaza huno ana knazana erino.

23 Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.

Mago'azama mizaseku'ma hanigeno kna'ama refako huno kezama (skel) erinteno refako hu so'e osu avu'ava zana, Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huno agonete.

24 A man’s steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?

Vahe'mo'ma mika zama hiazana, Ra Anumzamoke azeri ante fatgo nehie. Inankna huno mago'a vahe'mo'a agra'ma nehia zana keno antahino hugahie?

25 It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.

Kagesa antahi ankeretenka Anumzamofontera huvempa huo. Ame'ama hunka huvempama hutesunka, henka'a anama hu'nesana kegu kagesa antahintahi nehunka kagraka'a kazeri haviza hugahane.

26 A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.

Ama' antahi'zane kini ne'mo'a kefo zamavu'zamava nehaza vahera witi hona'a hareno eriherahe hianka huno rezaganeno ke ama huteno, henka knanentake havenu witi'a refuzafupeankna huno knazana zamigahie.

27 The spirit of man is Yahweh’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.

Ra Anumzamofo lampe tavi'mo'a, vahe'mofo kantu agu'afi ufreno mika kefo agu'agesama me'neana hakeno eri ama nehie.

28 Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.

Kini ne'mo'ma vahe'mokizmima avesi nezamanteno knare avu'ava huzamantesiana, agra knare huno mani'neno, za'za kna kva eri'zantera manino vugahie.

29 The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair.

Nehazave ramimofona hanave zamimo ra zamagia nezamie. Hianagi ranra vahera efe'zmazoka nege'za vahe'mo'za husga hunezmantaze.

30 Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

Hazenkema hania vahe'ma knokeve'ma ami'zamo, kefo avu'ava zana ahenati netreno, agu'a azeri agru hugahie.
