Malasu 1
1 Goe buga ganodini malasu amo Soloumone (Da: ibidi ea mano) Isala: ili hina bagade da dedei.
Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
2 Goe da malasu amo ea di bagade fidimuyo amola dia noga: le hou moloi ba: ma: ne amola hou ida: iwanedafa olelesa. Amola noga: le amo sia: dawa: ma: ne ea bai da gududafa.
to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
3 Amola ilia da dima noga: le hou moloi ahoanoma: ne olelesa amola defele hamoma: ne olelesa.
to receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness and judgment, and equity;
4 Amola ilia di dawa: loma: ne hamosa amola dunu dawa: su bagade olelesa eno dunu goi olelema: ne.
to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 Amo sia: dedei da bagade dawa: su dunu ilima dawa: loma: ne, olelesu amola moloidafa hou imunu.
He that is wise will hear, and will increase learning; and the intelligent will gain wise counsels:
6 Amasea, ilia da malasu wamolegei bai amo noga: le dawa: ma: ne amola malasu da moloi dunu ea hou heda: ma: ne eno hou doaga: sea, dawa: ma: ne olelesa.
to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas.
7 Di da bagade dawa: su hou lamu hanai galea, hidadea Godema nodone dawa: ma. Gagaoui dunu ilia da dawa: su bagade lama: ne hame asigisa, amola moloidafa hou dawa: mu higasa.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 Nagofe! Dia noga: le nabima, dia ada amola ame elea sia: sea.
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
9 Elea olelebe amo ea dia hou da gado heda: mu amola dia hamobe liligi da nina: hamoi habuga o galogoaga gisa: gisu amo ba: le defele ba: mu.
for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 Nagofe dia! Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia dima adoba: sea, di amoma maedafa madelama.
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not.
11 Ilia sia: sa, “Misa! Ninia hedemusa: noga: i dunu medole legemusa: hogola masunu.
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; (Sheol h7585)
13 Amasea ninia ilia liligi lale ninia diasuga gaguli masunu amola ninia da liligi gagui dunu agoai esalumu.
we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Misa! Ninima madelama! Amola ninia wamolai liligi gilisili gagumu.”
cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse:
15 Nagofe! Agoai dunu ilima mae gilisima amola di gasigama.
— my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;
16 Ilia da gasa bagadewane eso huluane eno dunu medole legemusa: momagei esala.
for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
17 Amola di da sio di hanai amo sio sa: ima: ne sani amoga gaguma: ne e ba: lalea hame ligisisa.
For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings.
18 Be dunu nowa e amane hamosea, e da hina: bogoma: ne sani amoga hina: sa: ima: ne logo hogosa.
And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 Wamolasu e da ea wamolasu hamobeba: le da bogosu ba: mu. Nowa da nimi gasa fi hou bagade hamosea da bogosu ba: mu.
So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors.
20 Nabima! Bagade Dawa: su Hou da welala amola logoga amola gilisisu bidi lama: ne diasu sogega welala.
Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways;
21 Gasa gala welala amola fi sogebi logo holeiga amola dunu huluane gilisibi amola misini gilisisu sogebi.
she calleth in the chief [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words:
22 Gagaoui dunu habowali dili da gagaoui esaloma: bela: ? Habowali dilia da Bagade Dawa: su Hou amoma higale oufesega: ma: bela: ? Amola habogala dawa: lama: bela: ?
How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?
23 Na da dilima gagabole sia: sea, dilia noga: le nabima! Na da hahawane sia: olelesa amola na dawa: dilima olelemu.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour forth my spirit unto you, I will make known to you my words.
24 Na da dilima welalu amola dili misa: ne sia: nanu, be dilia da hame nabi amola dilia da na sia: be hame dawa: digi.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;
25 Dili da na fada: i sia: i higa: i amola na olelei amola dili da amane hamomusa: hame hanai amola na gagabosu hame nabi.
and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 Amaiba: le, dilia da da: i dioi doaga: sea na da diliba: le oufesega: mu amola na da dili gadele oumu dilima beda: ga da: i dioi doaga: sea.
I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 Adi liligi, mulu mabe amo defele se fo mabe defele dilima da: i dioi amola se nabasu doaga: sea,
when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:
28 dilia da hahawane bagade dawa: su esalusu hogomu amola wemu. Be na da hame nabimu. Dilia da na hogoi helemu. Be amomane dilia da na hame ba: mu.
— then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me.
29 Dili da musa: Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogomusa: hame hamosu amola dili da Gode Ea moloidafa hou nabimu higasu.
Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah;
30 Dili da na sia: amo hame nabasu amola na olelesea amoga hame dawa: su.
they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:
31 Amaiba: le dili da dilia higa: i amo ea bidi lamu. Amola dili hou amo hamoiba: le, dilia da olomu.
therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 Hame dawa: su dunu ilia bogosu bai da ilia Bagade Dawa: su Hou amo higasa. Amola gagaoui dunu ilia da ilia gagaoui hou amoga ilila: wadela: sa.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.
33 Nowa da nama nabasu hou hamosea amo da gaga: su ba: mu, amola e da udigili beda: su hou bai hame ba: mu.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil.
