< Proverbs 1 >

1 The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
Ama avontafera knare nomanizamofo ke Israeli vahe'mokizmi kini ne' Solomoni, Deviti nemofo krente'ne.
2 to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
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 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
Knare antahintahi neramino, tazeri fatgo nehanigeta, fatgo avu'ava nehuta, fatgo huta refko nehuta, maka vahe'mofona mago avamente knare avu'avara huzmantegahune.
4 to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man—
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 that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;
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 to understand a proverb and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.
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 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
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, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;
Mofavre'nimoke, negafa'ma kavumro kema hania kea amage nentenka, negrerama rempima hugamisia kea ha'ontagio.
9 for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.
Ana kavumro kemo'a, avasase zanu anunte fetori anteankna nehuno, anankempi pasesu nofi anteankna hugantegahie.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.
Mofavre'nimoke, kumi vahe'mo'za kefoza huogu kavazuma hanazana, ana kefozana osutfa huo.
11 If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
Tagrane egeta frakineta hazenkezmi omne vaheku ome zmahamneno hnagenka, ovutfa huo.
12 Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Fri vahe kumamo'ma vahe'ma zamasgahu nevaziankna huta, zamasimuma eri'za mani'naza vahera zamahe frisune. (Sheol h7585)
13 We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
Mika zago'amo mareri zantamima zamaheta hanaresuna zantamina refko huta nontifi eri antevi'neteta,
14 You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse”—
musufama erisuna zagoa refko hugamigahunanki, tagrane enoma hanagenka,
15 my son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,
mofavre'nimoke, zamagranena ovutfa huo, zamagrama vanarega ovuo.
16 for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
Na'ankure ame hu'za kumira nehu'za, vahera zamahe'za korana eri neragize.
17 For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;
Namamo'ma negesigenka krifu anaginte'sanana, ana namamo'a krifufina ohenigeno, krifumo'a amnezankna hugahie.
18 but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
Anahu kna hu'za, vahe'mo'za ruvahe zamahe'naku hazanagi, zamagra'a zamahe nefrize.
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
E'inahu kanteti'ma musufama fenoma erizamo'a, kahe frigahie.
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public 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 She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
Ana a'mo'a tusi kereso nehaza kamofo atuparegati kezatino, rankumapi ufre kafante mani'neno kea nehie.
22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
Antahiza omane vahe'motma nama'a zupa musena hutma antahizantmi omane vahera manigahaze? Kiza zokago kema knare antahizanku'ma nehzazana, taganetma omanigahafi?
23 Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.
Nagrama i'oma hugantoa kema amage'ma antesanke'na, nagu'a neramina, knare antahi'zani'a rempi huramigahue.
24 Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
Hianagi kema nehugenka antahi nonaminka, kagrite etragote'za nehugenka antahi nonamine.
25 but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
Kavumro'ma negantogenka, keni'a nontahinka, osuo huazama nehanku,
26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,
ana nona'a kagrite'ma esia hazenkegura, kagiza regahue. Tusi'a hazenke zamo kazeri kagateresige'na, Nagra kagiza regahue.
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on 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 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,
Ana hanige'za zamagra zamazama hanugura kezatigahazanagi, nagra kenona huozamigahue. Zamagra nagrikura hakresnazanagi, onagegahaze.
29 because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of the LORD.
Na'ankure zamagra antahi'zama erizankura zamesra hunente'za, Ra Anumzamofona kore hunte zamagesa ontahi'naze.
30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
Nagrama zamavumro antoankea erinetre'za, zamazeri fatgo huankea amage onte'naze.
31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.
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 For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
Antahintahizmi omane vahe'mokizmia, neginagi zamavu'zmavamo zamahe nefrinkeno, knare hu'none hu'zama hanaza zamo, zamahe frigahie.
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
Hianagi aza'o nagri kema antahisimo'a, hazenke e'ori knare huno nemanino, havizankura korora osu mani fru huno manigahie.
