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 good oil; and the day of death than the day of 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 banquet house: since this is the end of every man; and the living man will apply good [warning] 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.
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart will be 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 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 a reproof of a wise man, 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.
As the sound of thorns under a caldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also 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.
for oppression makes a wise man mad, and destroys his noble heart.
8 Hou huluane ea dagosu da ea muni hamosu hou baligisa. Asaboi hou da gasa fi hou baligisa.
The end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the high-minded.
9 Dia hedolo ougisu hou noga: le ouligima. Enoma gogonomosu hou da gagaoui agoai.
Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger will rest 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, What has happened, that the former days were better than these? for you do not enquire in wisdom 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: and [there is] an advantage [by it] 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 in its shadow is as the shadow of silver: and the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom will give life to him that has it.
13 Gode Ea hamoi hou dawa: ma! Gode Ea fefenowane hamoi amo nowa da mololesima: bela: ?
Behold the works of God: for who shall be able to straighten him whom God has 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 live joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity: consider, [I say], God also has caused the one to agree with the other for [this] reason, 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.
I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: there is a just man perishing in his justice, and there is an ungodly man remaining in 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 very just; neither be very wise: lest you be confounded.
17 Be baligili wadela: i hou amola gagaoui hou amola mae hamoma. Dia abuliba: le di da galuga bogoma: bela: ?
Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: lest you should die before your time.
18 Baligili wadela: idafa amola noga: idafa ele galu yolesima. Be nowa da Godema beda: i galea, da hahawane esalumu.
It is well for you to hold fast by this; also by this defile not your hand: for to them that fear God all things shall come forth [well].
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 will help the wise man more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
20 Osobo bagedega, dunu afae da eso huluane mae giadofale, moloidafa hou hamonanebe, da hame esala.
For there is not a righteous man in the earth, who will do good, and not sin
21 Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da dia hou gadele sia: daha amo nabasa: besa: le, dunu ilia sia: dabe huluane mae nabima.
Also take no heed to all the words which ungodly men shall speak; lest you hear your servant cursing you.
22 Di dawa: ! Disu amola da eso bagohamega eno dunu ilima gadele sia: su.
For many times he shall trespass against you, and repeatedly shall he afflict your heart; for thus also have you 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 these things have I proved in 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.
[That which is] far beyond what was, and a great depth, who shall 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 and my heart went round about to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account [of things], and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man.
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 her [to be], and I will pronounce [to be] more bitter than death the woman which is a snare, and her heart nets, [who has] a band in her hands: [he that is] good in the sight of God shall be delivered 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.
Behold, this have I found, said the Preacher, [seeking] by one at a time 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 my soul sought after, but I found not: for I have found one man of a thousand; but a woman in all these I have not found.
29 Amo fawane na da dawa: lai. Gode da nini moloiwane hamoi. Be nini fawane da nina: bu guga: lole hamoi.
But, behold, this have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices.
