< Malasu 16 >
1 Ninia hidadea ninia hawa: hamomusa: ilegesa. Be Gode Ea hanai hamobe fawane fa: no ba: mu.
The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.
2 Di da dia hamobe huluane da moloiwane dawa: sa. Be Hina Gode Hi fawane da dia asigi dawa: su hanai hou amoma fofada: sa.
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Jehovah weighs the motives.
3 Dia hanai hamomu liligi huluane hahawane fidima: ne, Hina Godema sia: ne gadoma. Amasea, dia hamobe huluane, di da hahawane hamone dagomu.
Entrust your works to Jehovah, and your plans will be established.
4 Hina Gode da Ea hahamoi liligi huluane amo ea hamobe amola dagosu ilegei dagoi. Be wadela: i hamosu dunu huluane E da wadela: lesimusa: ilegei dagoi.
Jehovah has made everything for its own end—yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Hina Gode da gasa fi dunu huluane higasa. Ilia da se iasu amo fisima: ne hobeamu da hamedei ba: mu.
Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: they shall certainly not be unpunished.
6 Dilia Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: ma amola mae yolesima. Amasea, E da Dilia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofomu. Hina Gode Ea sia: noga: le nabasea, Dilia da se hame nabimu.
By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.
7 Dilia da Hina Gode Ea hanai hamosea, dilima ha lai amola da sinidigili, bu Dilia na: iyadowane esalumu.
When a man's ways please Jehovah, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Moloiwane hamobeba: le, liligi fonobahadi gaguiwane ba: mu da defea. Be ogogolewane hamobeba: le, liligi bagade gagumu da defea hame galebe.
Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.
9 Di da dia fa: no hamomu amo ilegelala. Be Gode Hi fawane da dia hamobe ouligisa.
A man's heart plans his course, but Jehovah directs his steps.
10 Osobo bagade hina bagade da Gode da olelebeba: le fawane sia: sa. Ea hamomu sia: da giadofasu hame dawa:
Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth.
11 Hina Gode da bidi lasu hou amo ganodini, dioi defesu amola hou huluane moloidafa fawane ba: mu hanai gala.
Honest balances and scales are Jehovah's; all the weights in the bag are his work.
12 Osobo bagade hina bagade ilia da wadela: i hou huluane higasa. Bai moloidafa hou fawane da eagene fi ilima gasa iaha.
It is an abomination to kings to do wickedness, for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Osobo bagade hina bagade da moloidafa sia: fawane nabimu hanai gala. E da moloidafa sia: dasu dunu ilima asigisa.
Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
14 Noga: i dawa: su dunu da hina bagade hina: nodoma: ne hamosa. Be hina da ougi ba: sea, dunu afae da bogosa: besa: le, hou noga: le ouligimu da defea.
The king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
15 Hina bagade ea dogolegei da agoane. Muagadodili gibu sa: ili, denesibi agoai hahawane esalusu diala.
In the light of the king's face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
16 Di da Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogoi helema. Amo hou ea lasu defei da gouli amola silifa amo lasu defei bagadewane baligisa.
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold. Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
17 Noga: i dunu da logo amo da wadela: i hou amoma afafai dagoi, amoga ahoa. Amaiba: le, dia logo ahoasu noga: le dawa: ma. Di da giadofale ahoanu, bogosa: besa: le, noga: le dawa: ma!
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Dunu da gasa fi hou amola hihi hou hamosea, da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Dia hou fonoboiwane hame gaguiwane esalumu da defea. Be gasa fi hamone, wamolai liligi mogili labeba: le, bagade gaguiwane ba: mu da defea hame galebe.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.
20 Dima olelei liligi amo noga: le dawa: ma. Amasea, dia hou huluane da hahawane ba: mu. Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: le, di da eso huluane hahawane ba: mu.
He who heeds the word finds prosperity, and blessed is he who trusts in Jehovah.
21 Nowa da asigi dawa: suga asigilai galea, eno dunu da ema nodosa. E da sia: noga: idafa sia: beba: le, eno dunu da ea fada: i sia: ne iasu amoma fa: no bobogesa.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
22 Bagade Dawa: su Hou da noga: i asigi dawa: su dunu ilima esalusu hano bubuga: su agoaiwane gala. Be amo moloi hou hame hamobe dunuma olelesea da udigili helesa.
Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.
23 Bagade dawa: su dunu da dadawa: lalu fawane sia: sa. Amasea, ilia da dawa: iwane sia: beba: le, eno dunu da ilia sia: amoga fa: no bobogesa.
The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
24 Asigi sia: da agime hano ea hedai defele ba: sa. Amo da hedaidafa amola dima gasa iaha.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 Di da logo dialebe ba: sea amola amo da logodafa di dawa: lala. Be amo logo da bogosu doaga: sa: besa: le, dawa: ma!
There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
26 Hawa: hamosu dunu da ha: i manu hanaiba: le, baligili hawa: hamonana. Bai e da ha: i galebe amola sadimu hanai gala.
The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; for his mouth urges him on.
27 Wadela: i hamosu dunu da eno dunu se nabima: ne, logo hogoi helesa. Ilia sia: amolawane da gia: i bagade wadela: i sia: fawane gala.
A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.
28 Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da baligidu sia: be amo gaguli laha. Ilia da ilia na: iyado fi da: i dioma: ne amola afafama: ne wadela: lesisa.
A perverse man stirs up strife, and a gossip separates close friends.
29 Nimi bagade gasa fi dunu da ilia na: iyado ilima ogogosa amola ili wadela: lesisa.
A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.
30 Nowa dunu da hohonomusa: si begini gasea o udigili onigisia, amo dawa: ma! Bai ilia da wadela: i hou hamomusa: dawa: lala.
One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
31 Moloidafa dunu da ode bagohame esalumu. Amo da bidi Gode da ilima iaha. Momali hinabo da ilima hadigi habuga agoane gala.
Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is found in the path of righteousness.
32 Hahawane, mae fisili, ouesalebe hou da gasa bagade hou baligisa. Dina: da: i hodo amola asigi dawa: su amoga ouligisu hou da moilai bai bagade bagohame amoga ouligisu hou, bagadewane baligisa.
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
33 Osobo bagade dunu da Gode Ea hanai dawa: musa: , ululuasa. Be Gode Hi fawane da adole iasu ilegesa.
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Jehovah.
