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 to be poor but honest than stupid and tell lies.
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.
It's not good to be someone who doesn't think. If you rush, things go wrong.
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.
People mess up their lives by their own stupidity, and then get angry with 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.
If you're rich, you get a lot of friends, but if you're poor, you lose any friends you had.
5 Dia fofada: nana amo ganodini ogogosea, di da se iasu ba: mu. Amola hobeamu logo hame ba: mu.
A false witness will be punished; liars won't get away with their lies.
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 ask favors from important people, and everyone's a friend of the generous.
7 Dunu huluane amola ea sosogo fi da hame gagui dunu amo hame dogolegesa. E da dogolegei dunu hogoi helele, hamedafa ba: sa.
If a poor man's relatives can't stand him, how much more will his friends avoid him! He tries to talk with them but they don't listen.
8 Dina: di fidima! Dawa: su hou hogoi helema! Amasea, dia dawa: lai amo mae gogolema. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu.
If you become wise, you have good self-esteem; if you learn good sense you'll be successful.
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 be punished; people who tell 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.
It's not right for stupid people to live in luxury, and it's even worse for a slave to rule over leaders.
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.
If you have good sense you'll be slow to get angry; you gain respect by forgiving wrongs.
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.
When a king gets angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; but his kindness is as soft as 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 stupid son makes his father miserable, and an argumentative wife is like dripping that never stops.
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:
You inherit a house and wealth from your father, but a sensible wife is a gift from the Lord.
15 Di da hihi dabuli hou hanai galea, defea, udigili hihiwane esalu golabada. Be di da ha: i bagade ba: mu.
Lazy people are often fast asleep, but idleness means they're hungry.
16 Gode Ea sema nabawane hamosea, di da fifi asi sedagimu. Be Gode Ea sema amo dia higasea, di da hedolo bogomu.
Keep the commandments, and you'll live; despise them and you'll 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.
If you're kind to the poor, you're lending to the Lord, and he will repay you well for what you've done.
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 while there's still hope, but don't kill him.
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.
People who often get angry have to pay the penalty; if you help them, you'll have to do it 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 advice and accept instruction so that you'll eventually become wise.
21 Dunu da ilia hanai liligi hamomusa: ilegesa. Be Gode Ea hanaiga dawa: i amo fawane hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
Human beings make many plans in their minds, but the final decision is the Lord's.
22 Uasu hou da gogosiasu agoai gala. Hame gagui dunu ilia hou da ogogosu dunu ilia hou baligisa.
The most desirable thing in anyone is trustworthy love; it is 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.
Honoring the Lord is life, and you will rest contentedly, safe from harm.
24 Dunu mogili da baligili hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
Lazy people put their hands in a dish, and won't even lift the food to their mouths.
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.
If you punish someone who mocks, you may help an immature person to learn. Correct the wise, and they become wiser.
26 Nowa da edama giadofale hamosea o ea ame ea diasuga mae esaloma: ne sefasisia, amo da wadela: le gugunufinisisu dunu.
A son who abuses his father and chases away his mother brings shame and disgrace.
27 Nagofe! Di da dawa: lamusa: hogolalu yolesea, di da dia musa: dawa: lai amola bu gogolemu.
My son, stop listening to my instruction and you'll soon give up following wisdom.
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 crooked witness makes a mockery of justice; and the wicked wolf down evil.
29 Gasa fi gagaoui dunu da se nabima: ne fasu dafawane ba: mu.
Punishment is ready for those who mock; flogging is ready for the backs of the stupid.
