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 as rain in harvest, so honour 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 the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
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 the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
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 also be like unto 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 be wise in his own conceit.
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 a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 Emo afoi dunu da ea emoga masunu gogolei. Amo defele, gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: ea bai olemusa: hamedafa dawa:
The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable 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 bindeth a stone in a sling, 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 a thorn goeth up into 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.
The great Elohim that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
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 returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to 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.
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is 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; a lion is in the streets.
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 his 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 in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again 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 can render a reason.
17 Sia: ga gegesu amo da dia liligi hame, amoga gilisisia, da logoga ahoana, wa: me gega gagubi defele ba: sa.
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and 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 deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Lalu habei hamedesea, lalu da usisa. Amola baligiduli sia: su hame galea, sia: ga gegesu hame ba: mu.
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
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 is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 Dunu bagohame da baligidi sia: sia: dasu bagade hana: iba: le, hahawane nodone da: gisa.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into 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.
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered 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.
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
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 speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations 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.
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
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.
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon 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 lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
