Malasu 24
1 Wadela: i hamobe dunu amo mae mudale ba: ma! Amola amo dunu amo bisili mae dogolegema.
Be not thou envious against 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.
For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3 Sosogo fi ilia hou noga: le dadawa: le fifilasu da igi bai magufu fa: i noga: i agoai gala.
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
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.
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 Noga: le dadawa: su hou da da: i hodo gasa hou baligisa.
A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
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.
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
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: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
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 evil shall be called a mischievous person.
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 foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10 Se nabasu bagade doaga: sea, di da gasa hame agoane hamosea, gogayeidafa dunu agoane ba: mu.
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
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.
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
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 sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13 Nagofe! Di agime hano amo moma. Amo da dia gona: suga leba: le ba: sea, hedaiwane ba: sa.
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
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 shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15 Wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa dunu amo ea liligi amola ea diasu wamolamusa: ilegelala. Be di da agoane mae ilegema.
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
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 man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 Se nabasu bagade da dia ha lai dunuma doaga: sea, mae nodoma. E da dafasea, hahawane mae ba: ma.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
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 Yhwh see it, 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.
Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20 Bai ilia da hame fifi ahoanumu. Fa: no misunu hahawane hou da ilima hame doaga: mu.
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle 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 thou Yhwh and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 Agoane odoga: su dunu ilia da hedolodafa dafasu dawa: Gode amola osobo bagade hina bagade dunu da ilima se imunusa: dawa:
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them 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 belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24 E da wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa sia: sea, dunu huluane da e aligima: ne gagabumu amola e higamu.
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 Be fofada: su dunu da wadela: le hamosu dunu ilima se iasea, e da hahawane ba: mu amola eno dunu da ema nodomu.
But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26 Nowa dunu da moloidafa adole iasea, amo da eno dunuma dogeleidafa hou agoai.
Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
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 make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28 Dia da udigili eno dunuma mae fofada: ma. Amola bai hamedei hou amola ema ogogolewane mae fofada: ma.
Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not 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 so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30 Na da hihi dabuli gagaoui dunu amo ea waini efe sagai amodili asi.
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 Amo ganodini, aya: gaga: nomei amola gisi heda: i bagade bai. Amola igiga gagoi amo da mugululi sa: i dagoi ba: i.
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Amo na da ba: lalu, amola na da bu dawa: i, amola amo ea bai dawa: i dagoi.
Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Bai di helefili golamu da defea. Dia lobo sogoba: digili fa: bihadi golama.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 Be di da golai dialoba, wamolasu dunu da doagala: be defele, hame gagui hou da dima doaga: mu.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
