Malasu 24
1 Wadela: i hamobe dunu amo mae mudale ba: ma! Amola amo dunu amo bisili mae dogolegema.
Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
2 Ilia asigi dawa: su ganodini da mosolamusa: fawane dawa: lala. Amola eso huluane ilia lafidili esega dunu eno amo se nabima: ne sia: daha.
Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
3 Sosogo fi ilia hou noga: le dadawa: le fifilasu da igi bai magufu fa: i noga: i agoai gala.
By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
4 Diasu da amo da: iya gagui amo ea sesei huluane da fedege agoane, dawa: su noga: idafa amola liligi ida: iwane gala, amoga nabai gala.
By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
5 Noga: le dadawa: su hou da da: i hodo gasa hou baligisa.
A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
6 Amasea, gegena masunusa: gala, hidadea iligelalu masa. Amola fada: i sia: noga: le ha: ini nabalu ahoasea, dilia da ha lai ilima osa: la heda: mu agoai ba: mu.
Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
7 Gagaoui dunu da dadawa: su sia: fada: ne hame dawa: Dawa: su dunu da fada: i sia: bagade sia: dasea, gagaoui dunu da amo sia: fidili mae sia: ne, ouiya: le esala.
Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
8 Di da eso huluane wadela: i hou hamomusa: ilegesea, dunu eno ilia da di da mosolasu hamosu dunu amane dawa: mu.
He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
9 Gagaoui dunu da wadela: i ilegemusa: fawane dawa: lala. Dunu mogili da dunu eno ilima gasa fili higasu hou hamosa. Dunu huluane da amaiwane dunuma higasa.
The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
10 Se nabasu bagade doaga: sea, di da gasa hame agoane hamosea, gogayeidafa dunu agoane ba: mu.
If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
11 Fofada: su dunu da wadela: i hame hamosu dunu amo giadofale medole legemusa: dawa: sea, defea, mae ha: aligima. Amo dunu hedolo gaga: ma.
Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
12 Amo hou da dia liligi hame agoane mae sia: ma. Bai Gode da dia hou dawa: , amola dia hamobe E da adoba: lala. Amola E da dia hamoi defele dima bidi imunu.
If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
13 Nagofe! Di agime hano amo moma. Amo da dia gona: suga leba: le ba: sea, hedaiwane ba: sa.
Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
14 Amo defele, molole dawa: su sia: da dia da: i hodo amola asigi dawa: su obenasa. Di da molole dawa: su lasea, hahawane esalumu.
So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
15 Wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa dunu amo ea liligi amola ea diasu wamolamusa: ilegelala. Be di da agoane mae ilegema.
Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
16 Moloidafa dunu da dafasea, e da hedolo bu sinidigisa. Be se nabasu da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilima doaga: sea, e da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
17 Se nabasu bagade da dia ha lai dunuma doaga: sea, mae nodoma. E da dafasea, hahawane mae ba: ma.
When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
18 Dia ha lai dunu da se nababeba: le, di da nodosea, Hina Gode da amo hou higa: i hodosa. Amasea, e da dia ha lai ema se iasu hame ima: bela: ?
Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia hamobeba: le, mae da: i dioma. Amola, ilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, liligi bagade lasea, mae mudama.
Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
20 Bai ilia da hame fifi ahoanumu. Fa: no misunu hahawane hou da ilima hame doaga: mu.
For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21 Nagofe! Hina Godema beda: ne nodoma. Amola osobo bagade hina bagade amoma nabasu hou hamoma. Nowa dunu da Hina Gode o hina bagade ilima odoga: sea, ilima mae gilisima.
My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
22 Agoane odoga: su dunu ilia da hedolodafa dafasu dawa: Gode amola osobo bagade hina bagade dunu da ilima se imunusa: dawa:
For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
23 Molole dawa: su dunu da amo eno sia: su sia: i. ‘Fofada: su dunu da dunu aduna elama fofa: da: sea, e da dunu afamagamu da defea hame.’
These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
24 E da wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa sia: sea, dunu huluane da e aligima: ne gagabumu amola e higamu.
They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
25 Be fofada: su dunu da wadela: le hamosu dunu ilima se iasea, e da hahawane ba: mu amola eno dunu da ema nodomu.
They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.
26 Nowa dunu da moloidafa adole iasea, amo da eno dunuma dogeleidafa hou agoai.
He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.
27 Dia diasu gaguli, fifi lamusa: dawa: sea, hidadea ifa abalegele, ha: i manu heda: sea, dia manu defele ba: sea, dia diasu gaguli, fifi laloma.
Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
28 Dia da udigili eno dunuma mae fofada: ma. Amola bai hamedei hou amola ema ogogolewane mae fofada: ma.
Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.
29 Amola di amane mae sia: ma, “Na da e nama hamoi defele ema hamomu. Na da dabemu,” amane mae sia: ma.
Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.
30 Na da hihi dabuli gagaoui dunu amo ea waini efe sagai amodili asi.
I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:
31 Amo ganodini, aya: gaga: nomei amola gisi heda: i bagade bai. Amola igiga gagoi amo da mugululi sa: i dagoi ba: i.
And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.
32 Amo na da ba: lalu, amola na da bu dawa: i, amola amo ea bai dawa: i dagoi.
Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
33 Bai di helefili golamu da defea. Dia lobo sogoba: digili fa: bihadi golama.
Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:
34 Be di da golai dialoba, wamolasu dunu da doagala: be defele, hame gagui hou da dima doaga: mu.
And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
