Malasu 26
1 Ha: i manu gamibi galu, gibu bagade da noga: i hame ba: sa. Mugi oubiga, mugene su ba: mu amola da noga: i hame ba: sa. Amo defele, gagaoui dunuma nodomu da noga: i hame ba: sa.
As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
2 Di da moloidafa hou fawane hamonanea, dunu eno da di bai hame gala aligima: ne gagabusia, di da se hame nabimu. Amo gagabusu da sio gudu mae sa: ili, gadomusu hagili lalebe agoai.
As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
3 Di da hosi amoma dawa: ma: ne fegasuga fasa. Dougi da noga: le masa: ne, di da efe bobagele lafiga gula misisa. Amola gagaoui dunu noga: le dawa: ma: ne, famu da defea.
A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Di da gagaoui dunu ea udigili adole ba: su sia: , amoma bu adole iasea, di amola da gagaoui dunu agoai ba: mu.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
5 Di da gagaoui dunu ea udigili adole ba: su sia: amoma ea sia: be defele selefane sia: mu da defea. Amasea, gagaoui dunu da hi da noga: i dadawa: su hame dawa: mu.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
6 Di da gagaoui dunu amo ea eno dunuma sia: ne iasu logo doasisia, di da fedege agoane dia emo hedofale fasibi defele hamosa. Amola mosolasu da dima doaga: musa: manebe agoai ba: mu.
He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
7 Emo afoi dunu da ea emoga masunu gogolei. Amo defele, gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: ea bai olemusa: hamedafa dawa:
As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
8 Gagaoui dunuma nodone mae sia: ma. Amo hou da dia ga: muga: dadi damana gele la: gimu defele ba: sa.
As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 Gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: sia: ne iasea, e da adini feloai dunu, e da aya: gaga: nomeiga ea loboa soi, hi duga: lalebe agoai ba: sa.
As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Hawa: hamoma: ne iasu dunu da mae dawa: le udigili gagaoui dunuma hawa: hamosu iasea, e da dunu huluane ilima se iaha.
Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
11 Gagaoui dunu da musa: hou yolesili, amo bu hamosea, amo hou da wa: mega hi isoi amo bu hi nabe defele hamosa.
As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
12 Nowa dunu gasa fili hina: hou da bagade hi dadawa: suyale dawa: sea, ea hou da hamedei liligi agoai. Gagaouidafa dunu ea hou da amaiwane dunu ea hou baligisa.
Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
13 Hihi dabuli dunu da abuliba: le ea diasu fisili, soge hame ahoabela: ? E da laione wa: me, ea gasonasa: besa: le hame ahoasa: bela: ?
The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
14 Hihi dabuli dunu da ea diaheda: su fafai amo da: iya dedenegisa diala. Ea golabe hou da logo ga: su doagale, ga: sili, doagale ga: sibi agoai gala.
As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 Dunu mogili da hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
16 Hihi dabuli dunu da ea dawa: su hou da molole dawa: su dunu fesuale gala, amo ilia hou hi dawa: su hou amo baligiyale hi dawa: sa.
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
17 Sia: ga gegesu amo da dia liligi hame, amoga gilisisia, da logoga ahoana, wa: me gega gagubi defele ba: sa.
As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
19 Nowa dunu da eno dunuma ogogole sia: sea, amola fa: no amo ogogoi da ousa sia: fawane sia: sa, amo dunu da doula ahoasu dunu amo da dunu medoma: ne gala: su liligi gaguli lalebe agoai.
So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
20 Lalu habei hamedesea, lalu da usisa. Amola baligiduli sia: su hame galea, sia: ga gegesu hame ba: mu.
When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
21 Genosu amola lalu daba: galea, lalu da nesa. Mosolasu hamosu dunu da sia: ga gegesu wili gala: sa.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
22 Dunu bagohame da baligidi sia: sia: dasu bagade hana: iba: le, hahawane nodone da: gisa.
The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Obebenama: ne ogogosu sia: da noga: i dabuagado ela: mei wadela: i osoboga hamoi ofodo amo damana ulasi agoai ba: sa.
Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
24 Dabua obenane hawa: hamosu dunu da dunu enoma higasa. Be e da eno dunuma dabua hahaiyafuli sia: beba: le, ea higasu hou wamolegesa.
An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
25 Ea sia: da noga: i naba, be amo dafawaneyale mae dawa: ma. Bai ea dogo da dunu enoma mihanai hou, amoga nabai gala.
When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
26 E da ea higasu asigi dawa: su wamolegemusa: dawa: Be dunu huluane da ea wadela: i hou hamobe ba: sea, ea houdafa ilia dawa: mu.
He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
27 Dunu da eno dunu sa: ima: ne sanisia, ilila: saniga ilila: sa: imu. Dunu ili banenesima: ne osobo agele sala, bu ilila: da amoga banenesi dagoi ba: mu.
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
28 Nowa dunu da eno dunuma higasea, e da amo dunu wadela: lesima: ne ogogole sia: sa. Obenama: ne ogogosu sia: da eno dunu wadela: lesisa.
A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
