Malasu 17
1 Dunu ilia da hafoga: le gamogai agi ga: gi fawane nasea, be ilia dogo ganodini olofosu dawa: , amo dunu ilia hahawane hou da dunu ilia lolo nabe ida: iwanedafa hamosa be gilisili bidi hamosa, amo bagade baligisa.
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 Dawa: iwane hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina ea wadela: i hamedeidafa mano amoma ouligisu agoai ba: mu. Amola ea hina da bogosea, e da ea hina nana liligi amola muni mogili lamu.
A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
3 Dunu da gouli amola silifa laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, Gode da dunu ea dogo adoba: sa.
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
4 Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou sia: fawane nabimusa: dawa: Ogogosu dunu ilia da ogogosu sia: fawane naba.
An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; [And] a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Di da hame gagui dunu ilima lasogole oufesega: sea, Gode da amo dunu hahamoiba: le, di da Godema gadesa. Di da eno dunu ilia se nabasu amo hahawane ba: sea, Gode da dima se imunu.
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker; [And] he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
6 Dunu mano ilia da ilia eda amola ame ilima nodosa. Amo defele, dunu da: i ilia da ilia aowalalima ofa: le hidale ba: le sia: sa.
Children’s children are the crown of old men; And the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Gagaoui dunu ilia sia: da hamedei liligi agoai gala. Be dunu ilima dunu eno da nodosa, amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:
Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.
8 Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
A bribe is [as] a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 Di da dunu eno dima hahawane ba: ma: ne hanai galea, ilia dima giadofale hamosea, amo hedolowane gogolema: ne olofoma. Be wadela: i hou hame gogolema: ne olofosea, dia fi da afafai ba: mu.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.
10 Di da noga: le dawa: su dunu ema afadafa fawane gagabole sia: sea, e da naba. Be di da gagaoui dunu ema eno sia: ne, eno sia: ne, fabe amomane, e da sia: hamedafa naba.
A rebuke entereth deeper into one that hath understanding Than a hundred stripes into a fool.
11 Wadela: i hamosu dunu da lelei hou fawane hamosa. Ea bogosu da ema nimi bagade sia: adole iasu dunu agoai ba: mu.
An evil man seeketh only rebellion; Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Di da bea aseme amo ea mano da fisi, amogai doaga: sea, se nabimu. Be di da gagaoui dunu amo da ea gagaoui hou hamonana, ema doaga: sea, se bagade baligiliwane nabimu.
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, Rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Dunu da dima moloi hou hamosea, be di da wadela: i hou ema dabe iasea, di da eso huluane wadela: i fawane ba: lalumu.
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, Evil shall not depart from his house.
14 Sia: ga gegesu mubi da hano hihiga: i bisili doasibi agoai gala. Amaiwane bu bagade hamosa: besa: le, hedolo ga: ma.
The beginning of strife is [as] when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.
15 Dilia da hame giadofai dunuma udigili se iasea, Hina Gode da bagade higasa. Amola, dilia giadofai dunuma se hame iasea, amo amolawane Hina Gode da bagade higasa.
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.
16 Gagaoui dunu da osobo bagade dawa: lamusa: muni bagade galagamu da defea hame galebe. Bai e da noga: le dawa: su hameba: le.
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, Seeing he hath no understanding?
17 Na: iyado dunu da eso huluane ilia asigi hou olelesa. Dunu da se nabasea, na: iyado huluane da asigili, gilisili se nabimu da defea.
A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.
18 Dunu oda da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sa. Be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunusa: sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa.
A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.
19 Di da wadela: i hou hanai galea, di da bidi hamosu amola hanai gala. Di da hidale dia hou gaguia gadosea, bidi da dima doaga: mu.
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
20 Nowa dunu e noga: le mae dawa: le, wadela: i sia: sia: sea, e da moloi hou hame ba: mu. E da se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21 Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow; And the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 Di da eso huluane hahawane esalea, olo da bagadewane hame madelamu. Be eso huluane da: i dioiwane esalea, bogosu da gebewane doaga: mu.
A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
23 Molole hame fofada: su dunu da hano sulugiliwane muni laha. Amasea, moloidafa fofada: su hame ba: sa.
A wicked man receiveth a bribe out of the bosom, To pervert the ways of justice.
24 Dawa: su dunu da dawa: iwane hawa: hamonana. Be gagaoui dunu da udigili logo osea: i amoga ahoana.
Wisdom is before the face of him that hath understanding; But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25 Gagaoui hou hamosu dunu mano amo ea hamobeba: le, ea ada amola ame da se bagade naba.
A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Moloidafa dunu ema fofada: nanu, su lamu da defea hame. Wadela: i hame hamoi dunu ema se iasea, moloidafa fofada: su hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
Also to punish the righteous is not good, [Nor] to smite the noble for [their] uprightness.
27 Nowa dunu da hi hou da moloi hi dawa: , amo dunu da mae fisili udigili sia: dasu hame dawa: Asabole esalebe dunu da asigi dawa: su ea bai bagade dawa:
He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
28 Dunu ilia da hame sia: dasu dunu ba: sea, ilia da amo dunu da bagade dawa: su dunu agoai dawa: sa. Amola gagaoui dunu da ea lafi hame dagasea, e da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia da dawa: sa.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is [esteemed as] prudent.
