< Proverbs 22 >

1 A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Vahe'mo'ma knare kagi'ma kami'zamo'a, rama'a fenoma ante'zana agatere'ne. Hagi vahe'mo'ma kagri'ma kavesigante zamo'a, goline silvanena agatere'ne.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD [is] the maker of them all.
Feno vahe'ene amunte omane vahe'enena, Ra Anumzamo ana tarega vahera tro huzanantege'ne mani'na'e.
3 A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Antahi ankere antahi'zane vahe'mo'a, hazenke zama ne-esigeno'a negeno maniganesigeno agateregahianagi, knare antahizama omane vahe'mo'a, hazenkema fore'ma nehanigeno'a, negeno vuno ana hazenkezana erino knazampina manigahie.
4 By humility [and] the fear of the LORD [are] riches, and honour, and life.
Agra'a avufga anteramino nemanino, Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunteno, agorga'ama mani'zamo'a, rama'a fenoza nentesankeno kagia husga nehanagenka, za'za kna manigahane.
5 Thorns [and] snares [are] in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
Akrahe krahe avu'ava ene vahe'ma nevaza kampina, ave'ave zane vahe'ma azeri kukone me'ne. Hianagi iza'o agra'ama kegavama himo'a afete nemanie.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Mofavreka'a knare kante'ma vu'za rempi humigeno knare kante nevuno, rama hanuno'a, ana avu'avara atreno rukrehe osino.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender.
Feno vahe'mo'za zamunte omne vahera, kegava hunezamantaze. Hagi zagoma nofi'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zago'ama nofi'ma haza ne'mofo kazokazo eri'za vahe nemanize.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
Kefozama krinenimo'a, henka ne'zama'a hazenke'za kafigahie. Hagi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia himamu'amo'a, vagaregahie.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Iza'o zamunte'ma omane naga'ma muse zampinti'ma ne'zama zamisia vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huzamantegahie.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
Kehu haviza hu vahera zamahe anati atrenkeno, vahe'ma huhavizama hu'zane, ha'ma hu'zane, fragema hu'zana vagareno.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his lips the king [shall be] his friend.
Agu'amo'ma agru nehanigeno, fru kema huzanku avenesisimo'a, kini ne'mofo rone'a manigahie.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama erizante avu'a anteno kegava nehianagi, hazenke vahe'mofo kea erinetre.
13 The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
Feru vahe'mo'a amanage nehie, megi'a laioni mani'neankino, vanuana nahe frigahie huno nehie.
14 The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
Savri a'mofo agipinti'ma ne-ea kemo'a, muri kankna hu'ne, izano Ra Anumzamo'ma arimpa hentesimo'a, ana muri kampi tamigahie.
15 Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Mofavremofo agu'afina negi'nagi avu'avazamo avitegahianagi, kanoma amino azeri fatgoma hu'zamo ana avu'ava zampintira azeri arukrahe hugahie.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches, and] he that giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want.
Fenozami mago'ane eri rama'a hunaku'ma zamunte omane vahe kna zamiza zamazeri haviza nehaza vahe'ene, feno vahe'ma musezama nezamiza vahe'mokizmia, zamuntera omanegahie.
17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo kere kagesa antenka antahise nehunka, nagrama rempima hugamisuaza huo.
18 For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
Na'ankure anankemo'a knare hu'neankinka kagu'afi erintenankeno ana kemo'a, kagitera me'ne'na kea hutere hugahane.
19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
Nagra menina rempi hunegamugu, nentahinka Ra Anumzamofonte kagranena kamentinti huo.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
Nagra 30'a knare kegaga krentegantenofina, kavumro kene, antahiza eri zamofo naneke kregaminoankinka,
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
ama ana kereti tamage kea rempi hunka antahinenka, iza'o tamage kegu'ma hugantenigenka e'nesamofona fatgo'are kenona ome asamigahane.
22 Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Zamunte omane vahe'mokizmi zana ohanareho, na'ankure zamagra zamunte omane vahe mani'naze. Hagi zamunte omanesige'zama atupama hu'nesaza vahera, keagarera zamavarenteta zamazeri havizana osiho.
23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a, zamunte omane vahera zamahokeno zamazeri havizama hanaza vahe'mokizmia, zamazeri haviza hugahie.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
Arimpa hevava vahera rone huonto, ame huno rimpahe vahe'enena tagro oto,
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
ru ana vahe zamavu'zamava enerisankeno, kukomo kazeriankna huno kagu'a kazeri haviza hugahie.
26 Be not thou [one] of them that strike hands, [or] of them that are sureties for debts.
Mago vahera huvempa hunka mago'za hugantegahue osuo. Hagi ru vahe'mo'ma nofi'ma hu'nesigenka, ana nofi'ma hu'nea zana nagra vakanentegahue hunka osuo.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
Anama nofi'ma hu'nesaza zama apa osesanke'za miko zanka'ane, tafe'ma masinkama nemasesana zanena eri vagaregahaze.
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
Tamagehe'mo'za ko'ma re'nenaza kanagi kana, akasi kantutretma rumofo mopa eri havia osiho.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].
Eri'zama eri antahi'zama eri'nea ne'mofo eri'zana negano? Agra kini vahe'mokizmi eri'za vahe nemanino, agi omane vahe'mofo eri'za vahera omanigahie.
