Da:i Dione Dawa:i Olelesu 7
1 Dunu eno da dima nodomusa: moloidafa hou hamonanoma! Amo hou da muni bagadega lai gabusiga: manoma amo baligisa. Amola dia bogosu eso da dia lalelegei eso baligisa.
A [good] name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
2 Dia da heawini dibi diasu amoga ahoabe hou da lolo nabe diasu amoga masunu baligisa. Bai ninia huluane da bogosu ba: mu. Amola ninia esalebe eso amoga, amo hou dawa: mu da defea.
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: in that that is the end of all men, and the living taketh it to heart.
3 Da: i dioi hou da ousu hou baligisa. Dilia da: i dioi galea, odagi da da: i dioiwane ba: sa. Be dilia asigi dawa: su da asigilasa.
Vexation is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 Nowa da dabuagado hahawane hou fawane dawa: sea da gagaoui gala. Bagade dawa: su dunu da bogosu amo dawa: lala.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools in the house of mirth.
5 Gagaoui dunu da dima nodone sia: sea, amo da dia hou hame fidisa. Be bagade dawa: su dunu da dima gagabole sia: sea, amo da dia hou baligili noga: sa.
It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise, than to hear the song of fools.
6 Gagaoui dunu da ousea, amo da aya: gaga: nomei laluga nesa fadagaga: la: be agoane gala. Amo da bai hamedei.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.
7 Bagade dawa: su dunu da enomaba: le adodigili hamosea, e da gagaoui agoai hamosa. Di da hano sulugili lasea, dia hamobe hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad, and a gift destroyeth the heart.
8 Hou huluane ea dagosu da ea muni hamosu hou baligisa. Asaboi hou da gasa fi hou baligisa.
Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; better is a patient spirit than a proud spirit.
9 Dia hedolo ougisu hou noga: le ouligima. Enoma gogonomosu hou da gagaoui agoai.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be vexed; for vexation resteth in the bosom of fools.
10 Dilia da, “Hemone hou da waha hou bagadewane baligisu!” agoane mae sia: ma. Amo sia: da bai hame gala.
Say not, How is it that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.
11 Esalebe dunu huluane da bagade dawa: su hou lamu da defea. Bagade dawa: su da nana liligi labe defele gala.
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and profitable to them that see the sun.
12 Bagade dawa: su hou da muni gagui defele, dia hou gaga: mu. Dafawane! Bagade dawa: su hou da dia hou fidisa amola dima gaga: su iaha.
For wisdom is a defence [as] money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, [that] wisdom maketh them that possess it to live.
13 Gode Ea hamoi hou dawa: ma! Gode Ea fefenowane hamoi amo nowa da mololesima: bela: ?
Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?
14 Dima adi liligi noga: le hamosea, di nodoma. Bidi hamosu dima doaga: sea, Gode da hahawane hou amola bidi hamosu hou gilisili iasisa, amo dawa: ma. Dia da fa: no misunu hou hamedafa dawa:
In the day of prosperity enjoy good, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath also set the one beside the other, to the end that man should find out nothing [of what shall be] after him.
15 Na da esalusu hou da hamedei agoane ba: su. Be amo ganodini, na da hou huluane ba: i. Noga: i dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Be wadela: i hamosu dunu mogili da hahawane sedagawane esalumu.
All [this] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a righteous [man] that perisheth by his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his days] by his wickedness.
16 Amaiba: le, noga: idafa hou amola bagade dawa: su hou amo baligiliwane mae hamoma. Abuliba: le, dina: di fane legesala: ?
Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
17 Be baligili wadela: i hou amola gagaoui hou amola mae hamoma. Dia abuliba: le di da galuga bogoma: bela: ?
Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
18 Baligili wadela: idafa amola noga: idafa ele galu yolesima. Be nowa da Godema beda: i galea, da hahawane esalumu.
It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God cometh forth from them all.
19 Ouligisu dunu nabuane gala da moilai bai bagade ea hou fidisa. Be amo baligili, bagade dawa: su hou da osobo bagade dunu ea hou baligili fidisa.
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty [men] that are in a city.
20 Osobo bagedega, dunu afae da eso huluane mae giadofale, moloidafa hou hamonanebe, da hame esala.
Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.
21 Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da dia hou gadele sia: daha amo nabasa: besa: le, dunu ilia sia: dabe huluane mae nabima.
Also give not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee.
22 Di dawa: ! Disu amola da eso bagohamega eno dunu ilima gadele sia: su.
For also thine own heart knoweth that oftentimes thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
23 Amo hou huluane, na da na bagade dawa: su hou amoga adoba: su. Na da baligili bagade dawa: su lamusa: hanai galu. Be hamedei ba: i.
All this have I tried by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
24 Esalusu ea bai da haboda: i, amo nowa dawa: ma: bela: ? Amo da ninia dawa: mu hamedei. Ninia dawa: mu gogolei.
Whatever hath been, is far off, and exceeding deep: who will find it out?
25 Be na da bagade dawa: lamusa: , sugulu hamosu. Na da bagade dawa: su hou amola na adole ba: su ea adole iabe amo dawa: ma: ne, dawa: musa: dawa: i galu. Na da gagaoui hou amo da wadela: idafa amo dawa: mu hanai galu.
I turned, I and my heart, to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom and reason, and to know wickedness to be folly, and foolishness to be madness;
26 Na da gamoga: i liligi amo da bogosu baligisu ba: i dagoi. Amo da uda. Uda ea sasagesu hou da dima sanisu o efegesu agoai gala. E da ea loboga di nonogosea, sia: ine efe agoaiga di la: la: gimu. Dunu amo da Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne hamosa da amoga hobeamu dawa: , be agoai uda da wadela: i hamosu dunu gagulaligimu.
and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is nets and snares, [and] whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.
27 Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu Dunu da amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Na da dabe adole iasu hogobeba: le, na da afofadene ba: i dagoi.
See this which I have found, saith the Preacher, [searching] one by one to find out the reason;
28 Na da dabe adole iasu eno hogoi helei be hame ba: i. Dunu gilisi1000 amo ganodini hogole, dunu amoga na da nodomusa: dawa: i, afae fawane ba: i. Be uda afae hamedafa ba: i.
which my soul yet seeketh, and I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found, but a woman among all those have I not found.
29 Amo fawane na da dawa: lai. Gode da nini moloiwane hamoi. Be nini fawane da nina: bu guga: lole hamoi.
Only see this which I have found: that God made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.
