Malasu 19
1 Di da hame gaguiwane be moloidafa esalumu da defea. Be di da gagaoui ogogosu dunu agoai ba: mu da defea hame.
Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a fool whose lips are perverse.
2 Di da dawa: su hame galea, be hahawane mae dawa: le momabo hamomusa: dawa: sea, amo da defea hame galebe. Amane hamosea, di da se nabimu.
Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.
3 Dunu mogili da hi hanai hou hamobeba: le, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa. Amasea, ilia da udigili, “Hina Gode da na wadela: lesi dagoi,” amane sia: sa.
A man’s own folly subverts his way, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
4 Dunu bagohame ilia bagade gagui dunu ilima dogolegemusa: dawa: Be hame gagui dunu da dogolegei bagahame fawane gala, amola ilia dogolegei da ili hedolo yolesisa.
Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
5 Dia fofada: nana amo ganodini ogogosea, di da se iasu ba: mu. Amola hobeamu logo hame ba: mu.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.
6 Dunu huluane da mimogoa dunu amo ilia nodoi ba: ma: ne hamosa. Amola dunu huluane da dunu amo da ilima hahawane dogolegele iaha, amo dunuma dogolegemusa: dawa:
Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
7 Dunu huluane amola ea sosogo fi da hame gagui dunu amo hame dogolegesa. E da dogolegei dunu hogoi helele, hamedafa ba: sa.
All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
8 Dina: di fidima! Dawa: su hou hogoi helema! Amasea, dia dawa: lai amo mae gogolema. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu.
He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
9 Nowa da fofada: su ganodini ogogosea, e da se iasu amoga hobeale masunu logo hame ba: mu. E da se iasu dafawanedafa ba: mu
A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
10 Gagaoui dunu da liligi noga: idafa gaguli esalumu da defea hame. Amola udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da hina bagade ilia mano amoma hinawane esalumu da defea hame.
Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11 Dawa: su dunu da ea mihanasea hedolo hedofasu dawa: Dunu da dima wadela: le hamosea, amo mae dawa: le, gogolema: ne olofomu da noga: idafa.
A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12 Hina bagade ea ougi hou da laione wa: me ea gesenesu bagade agoane, be ea hahawane fidisu hou da gibu noga: le dabe agoai ba: sa.
A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 Gagaoui mano da ea eda bagadewane gugunufinisimu. Amola gesa: gesa: i uda ea hou da hano dadadibi agoai gala.
A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
14 Dunu da diasu amola muni amo ea sosogo ilima nana labe dawa: Be Hina Gode Hifawane da uda amo da dawa: su noga: idafa gala, ema imunusa: dawa:
Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Di da hihi dabuli hou hanai galea, defea, udigili hihiwane esalu golabada. Be di da ha: i bagade ba: mu.
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
16 Gode Ea sema nabawane hamosea, di da fifi asi sedagimu. Be Gode Ea sema amo dia higasea, di da hedolo bogomu.
He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
17 Di da hame gagui dunu ilima iasea, amo da Hina Gode Ema fa: no bu lamusa: iasu defele agoai gala. Amola Hina Gode da dia iasu defele dima dabe imunu.
Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
18 Dia mano ilia manohadi esoga dawa: lamusa: dawa: beba: le, ilima dawa: ma: ne se iasu ima. Hame amasea, di da ilisu ilila: wadela: lesima: ne fidisa.
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
19 Hedolo mi hanasu dunu amo e da ea hamoi defele se nabimu da defea. Amaiwane dunu mae gaga: ma. Di da eso enoga amo hou bu hamosa: besa: le, mae gaga: ma.
A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
20 Di da fada: i sia: noga: le nabasea amola bu noga: le dawa: ma: ne hanai galea, di da fa: no bagade dawa: su dunu agoane esalumu.
Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
21 Dunu da ilia hanai liligi hamomusa: ilegesa. Be Gode Ea hanaiga dawa: i amo fawane hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
22 Uasu hou da gogosiasu agoai gala. Hame gagui dunu ilia hou da ogogosu dunu ilia hou baligisa.
The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
23 Di da Hina Godema nabasu hou hamosea, esalusu sedade ba: mu. Amola di da gaga: le hahawane esalumu.
The fear of the LORD leads to life, that one may rest content, without visitation from harm.
24 Dunu mogili da baligili hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25 Gasa fi hame dawa: su dunu ilima dawa: ma: ne se imunu da defea. Amasea, dawa: su hame dunu ilia da houdafa dawa: mu. Di da bagade dawa: su galea, dunu eno da dima dawa: ma: ne olelesea, di da dawa: lamu.
Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
26 Nowa da edama giadofale hamosea o ea ame ea diasuga mae esaloma: ne sefasisia, amo da wadela: le gugunufinisisu dunu.
He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
27 Nagofe! Di da dawa: lamusa: hogolalu yolesea, di da dia musa: dawa: lai amola bu gogolemu.
If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 Giadofabe ba: su dunu da eno dunuma se imunusa: dawa: sea, moloidafa fofada: su hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa. Wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou hamomu bagade hanai gala.
A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
29 Gasa fi gagaoui dunu da se nabima: ne fasu dafawane ba: mu.
Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
