Malasu 25
1 Soloumone ea malasu meloa dedei eno da goe. Yuda soge hina bagade Hesigaia, amo ea sia: dedesu dunu ilia da bu dedei.
These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 Gode da hou oda wamolegebeba: le, ninia da Ema nodone dawa: sa. Be hina bagade da hou huluane mae wamolegele ninima olelebeba: le fawane, ilima nodone dawa: sa.
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
3 Hina bagade dunu ea dawa: su da ninia dawa: mu hamedeidafa. Be ea dawa: su da gadodafa amola hano wayabo lugudu gududafa agoai gala.
As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Dilia da silifa amoga nigima: dialebe amo dodofele fasisia, noga: le momadobe dunu ea liligi amo noga: le nina: hahamonesisu dawa:
Take away the dross from the silver, and material comes out for the refiner.
5 Wadela: i fada: i sia: su dunu da hina bagade ea hou wadela: sa. Be amo dunu fadegale fasisia, hina bagade da ea fi noga: le ouligimu.
Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Di da hina bagade amo ba: la masea, di da asabole fonoboi dunu agoai ba: mu da defea. Di da mimogo gasa bagade ba: ma: ne mae ogogoma.
Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place amongst great men;
7 Dunu ilia da di fa: no aligi sogebi fisili, bisili aligi sogebi amoga heda: ma: ne sia: mu da defea. Be ilia dima bisili aligi sogebi amo fisili, gudu sa: ili, fa: no aligi sogebi masa: ne sia: sea, di da gogosiamu.
for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.
8 Di da dia ba: i liligi amo hedolowane mae fofada: ma. Amola dunu enoga dia sia: gufuli salasea, dia da adi hamoma: bela: ?
Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbour shames you?
9 Dia na: iyado alia da: i dioi amo sia: dasea, alisudafa olofole ado sa: ima. Amola amo sia: dunu enoma mae adole ima.
Debate your case with your neighbour, and don’t betray the confidence of another,
10 Di da amo sia: hame wamolegesea, dunu eno huluane da dawa: digili, sia: da bagade heda: mu amola di da sia: ouligisu hou hame dawa: ilia dawa: mu. Amasea, di da mae fisili, gogosiane esalumu.
lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
11 Dawa: su noga: i amo eno dunuma dawa: ma: ne olelesea, amo da gouli dededei amo silifa bai amoma madelagilisi agoane gala.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 Noga: le dawa: su dunu da nabimusa: hanai dunu amoma sisane sia: sea, amo hou da noga: idafaba: le, gegagulu gouliga hahamoi amo baligisa.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.
13 Asunasisu dunu da sia: noga: le alofele iasu dunu ea hou amo hano nanu anegagi hisi agoai ba: sa.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Nowa dunu da udigili liligi imunusa: sia: sea be hame iasea, e da fo amola mobi gilisili mabe agoai, be gibu da dabe hame ba: sa.
As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
15 Di da noga: le gebe dadawa: le sia: sea, dunu da musa: gelalu, ilia hou bu afadenene, bu dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Hina bagade dunu amolawane da dia sia: dafawaneyale dawa: mu.
By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.
16 Di da agime ea hano dosogele mae moma. Be di da dosogele nasea, di da isomu.
Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
17 Dia na: iyado ema fofoya sofe mae afufuma. Agoane hamosea, dia na: iyado da dia momafubi ba: i helesea, dima higamu.
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbour’s house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
18 Gasulusu sia: da gegesu gobihei bagade amola gigi amola dadi agesoi defele medosu liligi agoai ba: sa.
A man who gives false testimony against his neighbour is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19 Didili hame hamosu dunu da se nabasu doaga: sea, e da dunu eno noga: le hame fidisa. Be di da didili hame hamosu dunu da di noga: le fidimu amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo da bese wagoi amoga ha: i nabe amola emo gasuga: igi amoga ahoabe agoai ba: sa.
Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.
20 Di da da: i dioi nabasu dunu ema gesami hea: le gala: sea, e da se nabimu. Di da asugi esala lalu houlalebe dunu ema anegagi esoga ea abula gisa: le, o dunu ea fa: gi da: iya sali legesea, seselebe, amo hou defele ba: sa.
As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 Dia ha lai dunu da ha: i galea, ha: i manu ima. Amola e hano hanai galea, hano moma: ne ema dili ima.
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 Amasea, e da da: i dia: ne gogosiamu. Amola Hina Gode da dima bidi imunu.
for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
23 Baligidu sia: su da foga gibu mini mabe agoai, ougi hou gaguli maha.
The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
24 Dunu e da gesa: gesa: i udala gilisili fimu da gasa bagade. Dunu hisu diasu dabua mogoa gado fifi lamu amo ea hou da amo baligisa.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
25 Sia: ida: iwane gala soge sedaga ganini maha da mage hafoga: iba: le hano nanu anegagi hisi agoai ba: sa.
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 Moloidafa dunu da dafane, wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia sia: nabasea, amo hou da gu hano ubagei amola hano nasu ulidou ganodini hai amo agoai ba: sa.
Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 Agime hano dosogele nasea, di da dia hou wadela: lesimu. Amola di da dunu enoga dia hou ofa: ma: ne hogoi helesea, amo da dia hou wadela: lesimu.
It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honourable to seek one’s own honour.
28 Dia mihanasu hou gumimusa: hame dawa: sea, di da gasa hame moilai bai bagade amo ea gagoi da mugululi sa: i agoai ba: sa.
Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
