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 oil; 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; for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his 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 may be gladdened.
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 is 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 to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man 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 turneth a wise man into a fool; and a gift destroyeth the understanding.
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 the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9 Dia hedolo ougisu hou noga: le ouligima. Enoma gogonomosu hou da gagaoui agoai.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger 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 thou: 'How was it that the former days were better than these?' for it is not out of wisdom that thou inquirest 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 good with an inheritance, yea, a profit 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, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
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 that straight, which 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 be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God hath made even the one as well as the other, to the end that man should find nothing 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 things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.
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 the one; yea, also from the other withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God shall discharge himself of 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 is a stronghold to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.
20 Osobo bagedega, dunu afae da eso huluane mae giadofale, moloidafa hou hamonanebe, da hame esala.
For 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 take 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 oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that 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 get wisdom'; 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.
That which is is far off, and exceeding deep; who can 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 about, and applied my heart to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, 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 find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands; whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken 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.
Behold, this have I found, saith Koheleth, adding one thing to another, to find out the account;
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 yet my soul sought, but I found not; 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.
Behold, this only have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
