Malasu 20
1 Nowa da adini bagade nasea, e da feloale gegesu hou amola wadela: le sia: su hou bagade hamosa. Nowa dunu e adini bagadewane ba: sea, ea hou da gagaoui dunu agoai gala.
Wine is a mocker and strong drink is a brawler; whoever is led astray by drink is not wise.
2 Di da laione wa: me amo da gegesenebe ema beda: i amo defele ougi bagade hina bagadema beda: mu da defea. Di da hina bagade ougima: ne hamosea, amo hou da di gobele fane legesu hou defele.
The fear of a king is like the fear of a young lion that is roaring; the one who makes him angry forfeits his life.
3 Gagaoui dunu huluane da sia: ga gegesu hou musu dawa: Be sia: ga gegesu amo yolesimu da hou noga: idafa.
It is an honor for anyone to avoid conflict, but every fool jumps into an argument.
4 Bugili nasu dunu da hihi dabuli aligiba: le ea osobo gidinasu i amoga osobo hame gidinasea, e da fa: no ha: i manu dadamimu hame ba: mu.
The lazy person does not plow in autumn; he seeks a crop at harvest time but will have nothing.
5 Osobo bagade dunu ilia asigi dawa: su da hano nasu ulidou amo ganodini diala agoane gala. Be bagade dawa: su dunu da asigi dawa: su hiougili gadosu dawa:
The purpose in a human heart is like deep water, but someone with understanding will draw it out.
6 Dunu bagohame da ilia mae fisili fuligala: su hou fawane hamonana, ilia udigili sia: sa. Be moloidafa fuligala: su dunu amo di da hogoi helele, hame ba: mu.
Many a person proclaims he is loyal, but who can find one who is faithful?
7 Nowa mano ilia eda da moloidafa hou fawane hamosea, da hahawane esala.
The righteous person walks in his integrity, and his sons who follow after him will be blessed.
8 Hina bagade e da dunu enoma fofada: sea, e da wadela: i hou ba: sea, amo ea bai hedolo dawa: sa.
A king who sits on the throne performing the duties of a judge is winnowing with his eyes all the evil that is before him.
9 Dunu afaega, “Na da wadela: i hou hamedafa hamosu,” amane sia: mu da hamedei.
Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean from my sin”?
10 Hina Gode da nowa dunu da dioi ba: su amola defei ba: su liligi amo ogogole hamosea, ilima higa: i hodosa.
Differing weights and unequal measures— Yahweh hates them both.
11 Dunu huluane amola mano ilia hamobe ba: sea, eno dunu da ilia houdafa dawa: mu. Ilia da moloidafa amola noga: iwane hamosea, dunu eno da ilia houdafa da noga: i hedolo dawa: mu.
Even a youth is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.
12 Hina Gode e da ninima si amoga nini da ba: ma: ne amola ge amoga nini da nabima: ne, amo ninima i dagoi.
Ears that hear and eyes that see— Yahweh made them both.
13 Di da eso huluane golai dialea, di da hame gagui agoai esalumu. Di eso huluane hawa: hamosea, ha: i manu bagade ba: mu.
Do not love sleep or you will come to poverty; open your eyes and you will have plenty to eat.
14 Liligi lala masu dunu da liligi ligisisu liligi amo muni bagade ba: sea, da: i dione egasa. Be amomane, ea asili, muni fonobahadi fawane amoga lai, e da hidale sia: sa.
“Bad! Bad!” says the buyer, but when he goes away he boasts.
15 Nowa da hi sia: dasu amo ea bai noga: le dawa: sea, amo hou da moloidafa amola gouli amola silifa ea lasu defei baligisa.
There is gold and an abundance of costly stones, but lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Degabo ba: i dunu da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunu sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa. Amola degabo ba: i dunu da bidi bu hame iasea, bidi iasu dunu da gagaoui dunu amo ea soge lamu da defea.
Take a garment of one who has put up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an immoral woman.
17 Ha: i manu wamolale lai da hedaidafa gala. Be fa: no wamolasu dunu ea lafi da sa: i boso amoga nabai defele ba: mu.
Bread gained by deceit tastes sweet, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.
18 Mae ilegele, udigili gegemusa: mae masa. Hidadea fada: i sia: ne iasu nabasea, didi ba: mu.
Plans are established by advice and only with wise guidance should you wage war.
19 Baligiduli sia: su dunu da sia: wamolegemu hame dawa: Sia: bagade sia: dabe dunu ilima mae gilisima.
A gossip reveals secrets and so you should not associate with people who talk too much.
20 Dia ada amola ame ela aligima: ne gagabusia, di da gamali amo da gasia ea digagala: i haba: dosu defele bogomu.
If a person curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in the middle of darkness.
21 Dia muni asabole lasea, amo muni da fa: no agoane dia esalusu bagade hame fidimu.
An inheritance gained quickly at the beginning will do less good in the end.
22 Dunu da dima wadela: le hamosea, dia disu dabe mae ima. Di Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: sea, Hi fawane da amo hou hahamomu.
Do not say, “I will pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for Yahweh and he will rescue you.
23 Hina Gode da nowa dunu da dioi ba: su amola defei ba: su liligi amo ogogole hamosea, ilima higa: i hodosa.
Yahweh hates unequal weights and dishonest scales are not good.
24 Nowa dunu da hina: esalusu logo ahoabe dawa: bela: ? E da hame dawa: Be Hina Gode Hifawane da ninia esalusu logo huluane ilegei dagoi.
A person's steps are directed by Yahweh; how then can he understand his way?
25 Noga: le dadawa: lalu, Godema imunusa: ilegele sia: ma. Di da fa: no da: i diosa: besa: le, hedolo mae sia: ma.
It is a snare for a person to say rashly, “This thing is holy,” and begin to think about what it means only after making his vow.
26 Bagade dawa: su hina bagade dunu da wadela: i hamosu dunu hogole ba: mu. Amasea, e da ema mae asigili se imunu.
A wise king winnows the wicked and he turns a threshing wheel over them.
27 Hina Gode da hadigi gamali agoane, ninia asigi dawa: su amola a: silibu ganodini, E da ninia hou hogosa.
The spirit of a person is the lamp of Yahweh, searching all his inmost parts.
28 Hina bagade dunu da moloiwane amola asigiwane ea hawa: hamosea, e da ode bagohame ea soge ganodini hinawane esalumu.
Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness preserve the king; his throne is made secure by love.
29 Ninia goi ayeligi ilia gasa amo heawini mageda. Amola asigilai gago aligi dunu ilima nodone nabawane hamosa.
The glory of young men is their strength and the splendor of old people is their gray hair.
30 Ninia mogili eso enoga wadela: i hou hamosea, ninia hou afadenemu gasa bagade ba: sa. Be se nabasu bagade da ninima doaga: sea, ninia hou afadenemusa: dawa:
Blows that make a wound cleanse away evil and beatings make the innermost parts clean.
