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 is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than one of perverse lips, who is a fool.
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.
Also in the want of knowledge in the soul there is nothing good; and he that hasteneth with his feet misseth the right path.
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.
The folly of a man perverteth his way, and against the Lord will his heart rage.
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 bringeth many friends; but the poor becometh separated from his [only] friend.
5 Dia fofada: nana amo ganodini ogogosea, di da se iasu ba: mu. Amola hobeamu logo hame ba: mu.
A false witness shall not remain unpunished, and he that uttereth lies shall 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 will entreat the favor of the liberal man; and every one is the friend to him that bestoweth gifts.
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 the poor hate him: how much more do his friends go far away from him! he pursueth [their] promises; but these are [all] that he hath.
8 Dina: di fidima! Dawa: su hou hogoi helema! Amasea, dia dawa: lai amo mae gogolema. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu.
He that getteth intelligence loveth his own soul: he that guardeth understanding will find happiness.
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 shall not remain unpunished, and he that uttereth lies shall 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.
Delicacy is not seemly for a fool: much less for a servant to have 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.
It is intelligence in man to be slow in his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
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.
Like the roaring of a young lion is the wrath of a king: as dew upon the herbs is his favor.
13 Gagaoui mano da ea eda bagadewane gugunufinisimu. Amola gesa: gesa: i uda ea hou da hano dadadibi agoai gala.
A calamity unto his father is a foolish son; and a continual dropping are the quarrels of a wife.
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:
House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but from the Lord [cometh] an intelligent wife.
15 Di da hihi dabuli hou hanai galea, defea, udigili hihiwane esalu golabada. Be di da ha: i bagade ba: mu.
Slothfulness casteth [man] into a deep sleep; and an indolent 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 that observeth the commandment guardeth his own soul: but he that disregardeth [directing] his ways [aright] shall 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.
He lendeth unto the Lord that is liberal to the poor, and his good deed will he repay unto him.
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.
Chastise thy son, for there is hope; and let not thy soul spare [him] for his crying.
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 fury must suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, thou must still 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.
Hear counsel, and accept correction, in order that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 Dunu da ilia hanai liligi hamomusa: ilegesa. Be Gode Ea hanaiga dawa: i amo fawane hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
There are many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord alone will stand firm.
22 Uasu hou da gogosiasu agoai gala. Hame gagui dunu ilia hou da ogogosu dunu ilia hou baligisa.
The longing of a man is [to exercise] his kindness; and a poor man is better 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 leadeth unto life: and he [that hath it] shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 Dunu mogili da baligili hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
When a slothful man hath hidden his hand in the dish, then will he 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.
Smite a scorner, and the simple will become prudent; and if one that hath understanding be admonished, he will understand knowledge.
26 Nowa da edama giadofale hamosea o ea ame ea diasuga mae esaloma: ne sefasisia, amo da wadela: le gugunufinisisu dunu.
He that plundereth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that bringeth shame and dishonor.
27 Nagofe! Di da dawa: lamusa: hogolalu yolesea, di da dia musa: dawa: lai amola bu gogolemu.
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth [thee] to err from the sayings 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.
An ungodly witness scorneth at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth mischief.
29 Gasa fi gagaoui dunu da se nabima: ne fasu dafawane ba: mu.
Punishments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
