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 flesh-banquets 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 prudent servant shall rule over a son who causeth shame; Yea, with brothers he shall share the inheritance.
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 the LORD trieth 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 listeneth to mischievous lips; And a liar giveth ear to a destructive 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; He that is glad at calamities shall not go 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 the aged, And their fathers the glory of sons.
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 the base; How much less lying lips the noble!
8 Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of him who taketh it; Whithersoever it turneth it hath success.
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 who covereth an offence seeketh love; But he who recurreth to a matter removeth a friend.
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 reproof will penetrate deeper into a wise man 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 shall a cruel messenger 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 man meet a bear robbed of her whelps, 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 returneth 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 it rolleth onward.
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 just, Both alike are an abomination to the LORD.
16 Gagaoui dunu da osobo bagade dawa: lamusa: muni bagade galagamu da defea hame galebe. Bai e da noga: le dawa: su hameba: le.
Why should a price be in the hand of a fool To get wisdom, seeing he hath no sense?
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; But in adversity he is born a brother.
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 who lacketh understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
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 who loveth strife loveth transgression; He who raiseth high his gate seeketh ruin.
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 is of a deceitful heart shall find no good; And he that turneth about with his tongue shall fall into mischief.
21 Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
Whoso begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; Yea, the father of the 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 merry heart doeth good to the body; 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.
The wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, To pervert the ways of judgment.
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 bore 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.
Moreover, to punish the righteous is not good, Nor to smite the noble for their equity.
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 is imbued with 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 is silent, is accounted wise; He that shutteth his lips is a man of understanding.
