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 honor is not becoming to 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 sparrow wandereth, and the swallow flieth away, So the curse without cause 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 back of the fool.
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 become like to 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 cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage, Who sendeth a message by the hand of a fool.
7 Emo afoi dunu da ea emoga masunu gogolei. Amo defele, gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: ea bai olemusa: hamedafa dawa:
The legs of a lame man hang loose; So is it with a proverb 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 who bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth 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.
As a thorn lifted up by the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb 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 woundeth every one, So is he who hireth fools and hireth wayfarers.
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 that which he hath vomited, So a fool 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.
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; There is a lion 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 a door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
15 Dunu mogili da hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
The sluggard dippeth his hand into the dish; 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 who 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.
As one that taketh a dog by the ears, So is he who, passing by, is enraged on account of the quarrel of another.
As a madman That casteth about darts, 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 who deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, “Was I not in sport?”
20 Lalu habei hamedesea, lalu da usisa. Amola baligiduli sia: su hame galea, sia: ga gegesu hame ba: mu.
Where there is no wood, the fire goeth out; So, where there is no talebearer, contention ceaseth.
21 Genosu amola lalu daba: galea, lalu da nesa. Mosolasu hamosu dunu da sia: ga gegesu wili gala: sa.
As coal is for heat, and as wood for fire, So is a contentious man for kindling strife.
22 Dunu bagohame da baligidi sia: sia: dasu bagade hana: iba: le, hahawane nodone da: gisa.
The words of a talebearer are like dainties; For they go down to the innermost parts of the body.

As drossy silver spread over an earthen vessel, So are warm lips and an evil heart.

The hater 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.
His hatred is covered by deceit; His wickedness shall be revealed in the great 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 therein; And he that rolleth a stone, it shall 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 whom it woundeth, And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
