Malasu 22
1 Hou aduna gala. Afae da di da moloi hou hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa. Eno da di da bagade gagusu dunu agoai ba: mu. Di da moloi hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa, amo logoga masa: ne ilegema.
A good name is to be chosen over great riches and favor is better than silver and gold.
2 Bagade gagui dunu amola hame gagui dunu, ela da hisu hisu. Be hou afadafa da defele. Amo da Hina Gode da ela defele Hi hamoi.
Rich and poor people have this in common— Yahweh is the maker of all of them.
3 Molole dawa: su dunu da mosolasu mabe noga: le ba: sa, amola amo fisima: ne noga: le gagagulasa. Be noga: le hame dawa: su dunu da mosolasu amo ganodini ahoa, amola fa: no e da bagade gogosiane da: i diosa.
A prudent man sees trouble and hides himself, but the naive go on and suffer because of it.
4 Hina Godema nabasu hou hamoma, amola gasa fi hou mae hamoma. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu, dunu eno da dima nodomu, amola di da ode bagohame esalumu.
The reward for humility and fear of Yahweh is riches, honor, and life.
5 Wadela: i hamosu dunu da esalusu logoga ahoasea, sani bagohame ba: sa. Di da dia esalusu amoma asigi galea, amo saniga dasa: besa: le, segasa: ima.
Thorns and snares lie in the path of the perverse; whoever guards his life will keep far from them.
6 Dia mano da moloiwane esaloma: ne, ema hou noga: le olelema. Amasea, e da amo hou mae gogolele, ea bogosu amoga doaga: mu.
Teach a child the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn away from that instruction.
7 Hame gagui dunu da bagade gagui dunu ilia bidi mae lale udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai galebe. Nowa dunu da enoma muni bu imunusa: lasea, e da amo muni iasu dunu amo ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esala.
Rich people rule over poor people and one who borrows is a slave to the one who lends.
8 Di da moloi hame hou, hawa: agoane sagasea, se nabasu da sono agoane heda: le, se nabasu da gamibi agoai ba: mu. Amola amo sagai da hame dialumu.
He who sows injustice will reap trouble and the rod of his fury will fade away.
9 Di da mae hihini, dia ha: i manu mogili hame gagui dunuma iasea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
The one who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
10 Dilia gasa fi dunu sefasima. Amasea, dilia da sia: ga gegesu amola dunu eno ilia dio amoma lasagole sia: su, amo bu hame ba: mu.
Drive away the mocker, and out goes strife; disputes and insults will cease.
11 Nowa da hadigi ida: iwane asigi dawa: su amo hanai galea, amola asigidafa sia: hanai galea, amo dunuma hina bagade da dogolegemu.
The one who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious, he will have the king for his friend.
12 Hina Gode da dafawane sia: momagele legesa. Be E da ogogosu dunu ilia sia: wadela: lesisa.
The eyes of Yahweh keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the treacherous.
13 Hihi dabuli dunu e da eso huluane diasu ganodini fawane esala. E da amane sia: sa, “Na da gadili ahoasea, laione wa: me da na medole legemu galebe!”
The lazy person says, “There is a lion in the street! I will be killed in the open places.”
14 Inia uda adole lasu hou da sani agoane diala. Hina Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ilima ougi bagade gala, amola agoai dunu da amo saniga hedolo sa: imu.
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; Yahweh's anger is stirred up against anyone who falls into it.
15 Mano huluane da dawa: hamedene, udigili hou hamonana. Be ili fada: i dawa: ma: ne fasea da ilia hou bu hahamomu.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far away.
16 Dia udigili iasu amo bagade gagui dunuma iasea, o di bagade gaguma: ne hame gagui dunu ilia liligi lasea, amola ilima banenesisia, di amola da fa: no hame gagui dunu agoai ba: mu.
The one who oppresses poor people to increase his wealth, or gives to rich people, will come to poverty.
17 Nabima! Amasea, na da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia olelebe amo dima olelemu. Ilia olelebe amo noga: le hogoi helema.
Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise and apply your heart to my knowledge,
18 Amola di da amo olelebe noga: le dawa: sea, amola eno dunuma olelemusa: dawa: sea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
for it will be pleasant for you if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
19 Na da amo olelebe wali dima olelemu. Bai di noga: le nabalu, Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: mu, amo na da hanai galebe.
So your trust may be in Yahweh, I teach them to you today—even to you.
20 Na da dima olelema: ne, sia: 30 agoane dedei dagoi. Amo sia: ganodini dawa: ma: ne sia: , sisasu sia: amola fada: i sia: da dedei dagoi.
Have I not written for you thirty sayings of instruction and knowledge,
21 Amo sia: da dima dafawanedafa hou olelemu. Amasea, di da enoga dafawane hou hogoi helema: ne asunasisia, di da amo ea bai bu gaguli misunu.
to teach you truth in these trustworthy words, so you may give trustworthy answers to those who sent you?
22 Hame gagui dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia hou mae banenesima. Amola asaboi gasa hame dunu ilima fofada: sea, ilia hou mae banenesima.
Do not rob the poor because he is poor, or crush the needy at the gate,
23 Bai Hina Gode da ili fidima: ne ilimagale fofada: mu. Amola nowa dunu da amo asaboi hame gagui dunu ilima beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: sea, Hina Gode da amo dunu beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: mu.
for Yahweh will plead their case, and he will rob of life those who robbed them.
24 Dilia gasa fi nimi bagade dunu amo maedafa dogolegema.
Do not make a friend of someone who is ruled by anger and you must not go with one who rages,
25 Di da amaiwane hou lasa: besa: le amola dia hou bu afadenemu hamedeiwane ba: sa: besa: le amo maedafa dogolegema.
or you will learn his ways and you will take bait for your soul.
26 Dunu eno da liligi lale bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, di da ea udigili lai amo dabe imunusa: mae sia: ma
Do not be one who strikes hands in making a pledge, or who puts up security for debts.
27 Di da fa: no amo dabe imunu da hamedei ba: sea, se nabimu. Amola ilia dia liligi huluane amola dia diaheda: su amolawane, amo dabeyale lamu.
If you lack the means to pay, what could stop someone from taking away your bed from under you?
28 Musa: fi dunu ilia soge alalo ilegesu, amo maedafa gua: ma.
Do not remove the ancient boundary stone that your fathers have set.
29 Nowa dunu da noga: idafa hawa: hamosu hamosea, e da dunu oda bagohame ilia hou baligisa. Amola e da hina bagade dunu ilima gilisimu defele ba: sa.
Do you see a man skilled at his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before common people.
