Malasu 18
1 Dunu nowa da hina: hou gasa fiyale dawa: sea, ilia da eno dunuma hame dogolegesa. Amola hou amo da dunu huluane da moloidafa dawa: , ilia da amoma gagayei agoai ba: sa.
He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, and snarlest against all sound wisdom.
2 Gagaoui dunu da noga: le dawa: mu hihisa. E da hi dawa: su fawane noga: iyale dawa: le, eno dunuma olelesa.
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.
3 Wadela: i hou ea dabe da gogosiasu. Di da dia noga: i hou fisisia, dunu eno ilia dia hou hihi ba: mu.
When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 Dunu ida: iwane gala amo ea sia: ganodini hahawane dawa: su ba: mu. Fedege sia: , amo da hano wayabo bagade ea lugudu amola hano nawa: li ida: iwane agoai gala.
The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.
5 Moloidafa hamosu dunu ilima fofada: nanu, se imunu da defea hame. Be wadela: i hamosu ilima fofada: nanu, se hame imunu, amo amolawane da defea hame.
It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6 Gagaoui dunu da sia: ga gegesu hemosea, e da enoga e fama: ne logo doasisa.
A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 Gagaoui dunu da sia: sia: sea, e da hi gobele fawane wadela: sa. E da hina: sia: amoga fawane e da hina: saniga daha.
A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 Baligiduli sia: su da hedaidafa. Osobo bagade dunu da amo da: gimusa: hanai gala.
The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 Hihi dabuli dunu ea hou da liligi wadela: su dunu amo ea hou defele ba: sa.
Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10 Hina Gode da gasa bagade diasu gado gagagula heda: i agoane ba: sa. Moloidafa dunu da amoga asili, gagili sali dagoi ba: sa.
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.
11 Be bagade gagui dunu da amo mae dawa: le, ilia muni gagui amo da ili gagili sali agoane dawa: sa. Ilia muni da gagoi gado gagagula heda: i, amo moilai bai bagade sisiga: sa, ilia gagui da agoaiwane gala, ilia dadawa: sa.
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12 Dunu eno da asaboi dunu ilima fawane nodosa. Be gasa fi dunu da hedolowane dafamu.
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
13 Hidadea lalabolalu, fa: no fawane sia: ma. Dia amane hame hamosea, di da gagaoui agoane amola gadesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.
14 Di da esalumu hanai galea, dia oloi da uhimu. Be di da amane hame dawa: sea, dia dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu da asi dagoi ba: mu?
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15 Bagade dawa: su dunu da dawa: su eno lamu bagade hanai amola eno dawa: ma: ne momagele esala.
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 Di da mimogo dunu gousa: musa: dawa: bela: ? Defea! Hahawane dogolegele iasu ema ianu, e gousa: ma.
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 Dunu da bisili fofada: sea, ea sia: be amo nabasea, ea hou da moloidafa amo dunu ilia dawa: sa. Be gesu dunu da ema adole ba: sea, asigi dawa: su eno da doaga: sa.
He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.
18 Gasa bagade dunu aduna da fofada: su diasu ganodini fofada: sea, ela molole ba: sea, ele da ululuale hedele, afae da baligi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, amo hou da hahamoi dagoi ba: mu.
The lot causeth strife to cease, and parteth asunder the contentious.
19 Dia na: iyado amo noga: le fidima. Amasea, e da moilai bai bagade gasa bagade gagoi amo defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia da ema sia: ga gegesea, e da logo ga: i dagoi defele, di higamu.
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 Dunu ilia liligi sagai amo defele ha: i manu lasa. Amola ilia sia: amo defele hodo doaga: sa.
A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21 Di sia: be amo da esalusu logo amola bogosu logo hamosu gala. Dia sia: be amo da bogosu logo doasisa: besa: le, dawa: iwane sia: ma.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Uda hogole ba: sea, liligi noga: i ba: mu. Hina Gode da dima asigiba: le, uda noga: iwane dima iaha.
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23 Hame gagui dunu da asaboiwane adole ba: sa e fidima: ne, be bagade gagui dunu da gasa fiwane sia: sa.
The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently.
24 Dunu mogili da dogolegei gilisi gala amo da hedolowane dafamu. Be dogolegei na: iyado afae ea mae fisili asigi hou da yolala eyala elea asigi hou baligisa.
There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
