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 a dry morsel, and peace therewith, than a house full of contentious sacrifices.

A prudent servant, shall rule over a son who causeth shame, and, in the midst of brothers, shall he share the inheritance.
3 Dunu da gouli amola silifa laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, Gode da dunu ea dogo adoba: sa.
Fining-pot for silver, crucible for gold, but, he that trieth hearts, is Yahweh.
4 Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou sia: fawane nabimusa: dawa: Ogogosu dunu ilia da ogogosu sia: fawane naba.
Discord, giveth heed to the aggrieving lip, —Falsehood, giveth ear to the destroying 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.
He that mocketh the poor, hath reproached his Maker, He that maketh merry at distress, shall not be held innocent.
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.
The crown of old men, consists of children’s children, and the adornment of children, is 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:
Unseemly in an unworthy man, is the lip of excellence, much more, in one of noble mind, the lip of falsehood.
8 Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
A gift, in the eyes of its owner, is, a stone of beauty, whithersoever it turneth, it bringeth prosperity.
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 hideth a transgression, seeketh love, but, he that repeateth a matter, separateth intimate 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 reproof sinketh more deeply into an intelligent man than a hundred stripes, into a dullard!
11 Wadela: i hamosu dunu da lelei hou fawane hamosa. Ea bogosu da ema nimi bagade sia: adole iasu dunu agoai ba: mu.
Nothing less than rebellion, doth a wicked man seek, and, a relentless messenger, shall be sent out 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 bereaved bear encounter man, rather than a dullard, with 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.
He that returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

A letting forth of water, is the beginning of strife, therefore, before it breaketh out, abandon, contention.
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 lawless, and he that condemneth the righteous, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both.
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 dullard? that he who is without sense, may acquire wisdom.
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.
At all times, doth a friend love, and, a brother for distress, must be born.

A man lacking sense, is one who striketh hands, giving security, before his neighbour.
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.
A lover of transgression, is one who loveth strife, he that heighteneth his door, seeketh grievous harm.
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.
The crooked in heart, shall not find good, and, he that is perverse with his tongue, shall fall into wickedness.
21 Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
He that begetteth a dullard, it is to his own grief, neither can the father of the base, rejoice.
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 joyful heart, worketh an excellent cure, —but, a stricken spirit, drieth up the bone.
23 Molole hame fofada: su dunu da hano sulugiliwane muni laha. Amasea, moloidafa fofada: su hame ba: sa.
A bribe out of his bosom, doth a lawless man take, 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.
Before the face of the discerning, is wisdom, but, the eyes of a dullard, 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 vexation to his father, is the son that is a dullard, and a 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.
Surely, to chastise the righteous, is not good, to smite the noble-minded for 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:
Sparing of his words, is one who valueth knowledge, and, of a thoughtful spirit, is a man of intelligence.
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, holding his peace, is accounted, wise, —He that closeth his lips, [is thought] to have understanding.
