< Proverbs 1 >

1 These are the (proverbs/wise sayings) that come from Solomon, the King of Israel, who was the son of [King] David.
Ama avontafera knare nomanizamofo ke Israeli vahe'mokizmi kini ne' Solomoni, Deviti nemofo krente'ne.
2 (These proverbs [PRS] can teach people/By studying these proverbs, people can learn) how to be wise and how to obey what these proverbs teach them. They will [also] help people to understand which teachings are wise.
Ama knare nomanizamofo ke'mo'a, knare antahi'za neramino, tavumro ante ke nerasmino, taza hinketa oku'ama me'nea kea keta antahita hugahune.
3 These proverbs [PRS] will teach you how to discipline/control yourselves, how to conduct your lives, and how to do what is right and just [DOU].
Knare antahintahi neramino, tazeri fatgo nehanigeta, fatgo avu'ava nehuta, fatgo huta refko nehuta, maka vahe'mofona mago avamente knare avu'avara huzmantegahune.
4 They will show [people] who do not [yet] know much how to do things that are smart. They will show young people how to become wise and how to make good plans/decisions.
Hagi ama ana nanekemo'a, antahi'zama'a omane'nesia vahera knare antahintahi nezamino, ne'mofara antahiza nezaminke'za knare hu'za maka zana refko hugahaze.
5 Those who are wise should also pay attention [to these proverbs], in order to become more wise, and those who understand [these teachings] will receive good advice/guidance.
Knare antahintahima eri'nesimo'a, ama nanekea nentahinkeno rempi hunemina, mago'ane ama' antahi'zana e'nerinkeno, antahi ama'ma hania ne'mo'a, avumro kea erigahie.
6 Then they will be able to understand the meaning of proverbs and parables/metaphors, these wise sayings and (riddles/sayings that are difficult to understand).
Ama nanekemo'a zamaza hina, knare antahintahima eri kene, avame kea antahi ama' nehuta, antahi'zane vahe'mo'zama hu'naza kene, ruzahu ruzahu fraki kea erigahaze.
7 If [you want to be] wise, you must begin by revering Yahweh. [Only] foolish people despise wisdom and good advice/discipline.
Anumzamofonku kore hunteno agorga'a manizana, antahi'zama eri'zamofo agafa'a me'ne. Hu'neanagi neginagi vahe'mo'za knare antahi'zane avumro kegura zamagena humigahaze.
8 My son, pay attention to what [I], your father, am teaching you. And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
Mofavre'nimoke, negafa'ma kavumro kema hania kea amage nentenka, negrerama rempima hugamisia kea ha'ontagio.
9 What we teach you [will make you respected like having] a lovely turban around your head and [like] a [beautiful] necklace to put around your neck.
Ana kavumro kemo'a, avasase zanu anunte fetori anteankna nehuno, anankempi pasesu nofi anteankna hugantegahie.
10 My son, if sinners tempt/entice you [to do what is wrong], say “No” to them.
Mofavre'nimoke, kumi vahe'mo'za kefoza huogu kavazuma hanazana, ana kefozana osutfa huo.
11 They may say, “Come with us! Join us! We will hide and then kill [MTY] someone [who passes by]. We will ambush some helpless/innocent people.
Tagrane egeta frakineta hazenkezmi omne vaheku ome zmahamneno hnagenka, ovutfa huo.
12 We will kill them [HYP] and get rid of them completely, [just] like [people who are buried in] graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Fri vahe kumamo'ma vahe'ma zamasgahu nevaziankna huta, zamasimuma eri'za mani'naza vahera zamahe frisune. (Sheol h7585)
13 And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
Mika zago'amo mareri zantamima zamaheta hanaresuna zantamina refko huta nontifi eri antevi'neteta,
14 [So], come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
musufama erisuna zagoa refko hugamigahunanki, tagrane enoma hanagenka,
15 My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
mofavre'nimoke, zamagranena ovutfa huo, zamagrama vanarega ovuo.
16 They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder [MTY] people.
Na'ankure ame hu'za kumira nehu'za, vahera zamahe'za korana eri neragize.
17 It is useless to put out a (trap/net to catch a bird) because when a bird sees it, [it stays away from it].
Namamo'ma negesigenka krifu anaginte'sanana, ana namamo'a krifufina ohenigeno, krifumo'a amnezankna hugahie.
18 But those wicked people are not like the birds, [because they do not realize] that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
Anahu kna hu'za, vahe'mo'za ruvahe zamahe'naku hazanagi, zamagra'a zamahe nefrize.
19 That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things [by violently attacking others]. They will only destroy themselves!
E'inahu kanteti'ma musufama fenoma erizamo'a, kahe frigahie.
20 Wisdom [PRS] shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the (plazas/town squares).
Knare antahintahizamo'a mago a'kna hu'neankino, kama vu'za e'za nehazafi oti'neno kezanetino, vahe atru hu'za nemanizafi ranke huno kezatino kea nehie.
21 Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
Ana a'mo'a tusi kereso nehaza kamofo atuparegati kezatino, rankumapi ufre kafante mani'neno kea nehie.
22 [Wisdom says], “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things [RHQ]? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that [RHQ]? How long will you foolish people refuse to know [what things are right] [RHQ]?
Antahiza omane vahe'motma nama'a zupa musena hutma antahizantmi omane vahera manigahaze? Kiza zokago kema knare antahizanku'ma nehzazana, taganetma omanigahafi?
23 If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
Nagrama i'oma hugantoa kema amage'ma antesanke'na, nagu'a neramina, knare antahi'zani'a rempi huramigahue.
24 But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.
Hianagi kema nehugenka antahi nonaminka, kagrite etragote'za nehugenka antahi nonamine.
25 I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.
Kavumro'ma negantogenka, keni'a nontahinka, osuo huazama nehanku,
26 So [now], when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.
ana nona'a kagrite'ma esia hazenkegura, kagiza regahue. Tusi'a hazenke zamo kazeri kagateresige'na, Nagra kagiza regahue.
27 When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when [all kinds of things] distress you and give you trouble, [I will ridicule you!]
Zahoko'mo hiaza huno hazenke zamo'ma tamazeri agaterenkeno, hankro zaho'mo hiaza huno tinko'mo refitege, hazenke'zamo ene kore'zamo tmagritera egahie.
28 [Wisdom also says], “When foolish people call to me [to help them], I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
Ana hanige'za zamagra zamazama hanugura kezatigahazanagi, nagra kenona huozamigahue. Zamagra nagrikura hakresnazanagi, onagegahaze.
29 They refused to know [what things are right], and they decided not to revere Yahweh.
Na'ankure zamagra antahi'zama erizankura zamesra hunente'za, Ra Anumzamofona kore hunte zamagesa ontahi'naze.
30 They would not accept my advice, and they did not pay attention when I tried to correct them.
Nagrama zamavumro antoankea erinetre'za, zamazeri fatgo huankea amage onte'naze.
31 So they will endure what will result [MET, DOU] from the evil way they have lived/behaved and the evil things they have planned to do.
E'ina hu'negu zamagrama hu'nesaza zamuzmamofona raga'a nesageno, oku'ma hu'naku retroma hu'nesaza zamavu'zmavamofo nona'a havi miza erigahaze.
32 Those who turn away from me are stupid/foolish; they will die because of doing that.
Antahintahizmi omane vahe'mokizmia, neginagi zamavu'zmavamo zamahe nefrinkeno, knare hu'none hu'zama hanaza zamo, zamahe frigahie.
33 But those who pay attention to me will live peacefully and safely, and they will not be afraid that something will harm them.”
Hianagi aza'o nagri kema antahisimo'a, hazenke e'ori knare huno nemanino, havizankura korora osu mani fru huno manigahie.
