1 Wadela: i hamobe dunu amo mae mudale ba: ma! Amola amo dunu amo bisili mae dogolegema.
Be not thou envious of wicked men, And desire not 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 speak mischief.
3 Sosogo fi ilia hou noga: le dadawa: le fifilasu da igi bai magufu fa: i noga: i agoai gala.
Through wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding is it 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.
Yea, by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and goodly substance.
5 Noga: le dadawa: su hou da da: i hodo gasa hou baligisa.
The wise man is strong; Yea, the man of understanding establisheth his 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 shalt thou make war, And by the multitude of counsellors cometh success.
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 the fool; He openeth not his mouth at 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 mischief-master.
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 purpose of folly is sin; And a scoffer is an abomination to men.
10 Se nabasu bagade doaga: sea, di da gasa hame agoane hamosea, gogayeidafa dunu agoane ba: mu.
If thy spirit faint in the day of adversity, Faint will be thy strength.
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 thou those who are dragged to death, And those who totter to the slaughter, —O keep them back!
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 sayst, “Behold, we knew it not!” Doth not he that weigheth the heart observe it? Yea, he that keepeth thy soul knoweth it. And he will 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.
Eat honey, my son, for 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 learn thou wisdom for thy soul! When thou hast found it, 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.
Plot not, O wicked man! against the habitation 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 though the righteous fall seven times, yet shall he rise 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 thy 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 the LORD see, and it displease him, And he turn away his anger 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 on account of evil men, Neither be thou envious of the wicked;
20 Bai ilia da hame fifi ahoanumu. Fa: no misunu hahawane hou da ilima hame doaga: mu.
For there shall be no posterity to the evil man; 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 thou the LORD and the king; And mingle 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 up suddenly, And their ruin, coming from them both, in a moment.
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 also are words of 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 to 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 it shall be well with them that punish him, And the blessing of prosperity shall come upon them.
26 Nowa dunu da moloidafa adole iasea, amo da eno dunuma dogeleidafa hou agoai.
He that giveth a right answer Kisseth the lips.
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.
Arrange thy work without, And prepare it in thy field: Afterwards 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 a witness without cause against thy neighbor, 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, “As he hath done to me, So will I do to him; I will render to the man according to his doings.”
30 Na da hihi dabuli gagaoui dunu amo ea waini efe sagai amodili asi.
I passed 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 overgrown with thorns, And the face thereof was covered with nettles, 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.
“A little sleep, a little slumber! A little folding of the hands to rest!”
34 Be di da golai dialoba, wamolasu dunu da doagala: be defele, hame gagui hou da dima doaga: mu.
So shall poverty come upon thee like a highwayman; Yea, want like an armed man.
