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.
Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting 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.
Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
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 is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, 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.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be 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 be wise in his own eyes.
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.
One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
7 Emo afoi dunu da ea emoga masunu gogolei. Amo defele, gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: ea bai olemusa: hamedafa dawa:
Like the legs of the lame that hang loose: 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 one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor 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.
Like a thornbush that goes 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.
As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.
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 returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats 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.
Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for 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 sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road. A fierce lion roams 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 turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.
15 Dunu mogili da hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back 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 eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
17 Sia: ga gegesu amo da dia liligi hame, amoga gilisisia, da logoga ahoana, wa: me gega gagubi defele ba: sa.
Like one who grabs a dog's ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
Like a madman who shoots 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.
is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"
20 Lalu habei hamedesea, lalu da usisa. Amola baligiduli sia: su hame galea, sia: ga gegesu hame ba: mu.
Without wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, contention ceases.
21 Genosu amola lalu daba: galea, lalu da nesa. Mosolasu hamosu dunu da sia: ga gegesu wili gala: sa.
As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
22 Dunu bagohame da baligidi sia: sia: dasu bagade hana: iba: le, hahawane nodone da: gisa.
The words of a gossip are as tasty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
23 Obebenama: ne ogogosu sia: da noga: i dabuagado ela: mei wadela: i osoboga hamoi ofodo amo damana ulasi agoai ba: sa.
Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
24 Dabua obenane hawa: hamosu dunu da dunu enoma higasa. Be e da eno dunuma dabua hahaiyafuli sia: beba: le, ea higasu hou wamolegesa.
A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.
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 his speech is charming, do not believe him; 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.
His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on 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 hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
