Malasu 28
1 Wadela: i hamosu dunu da dunu eno ili hame sefasibi amomane hobeasa. Be moloidafa dunu da laione wa: me agoane hame beda: sa.
The wicked run away even when no one is chasing them, but the good have the trusting boldness of lions.
2 Fifi asi gala da wadela: le hamosea, ilia hina bagade da mae aligili hedolo afafadenesa. Be molole dawa: su hina bagade da fifi asi gala noga: le ouligisia, ilia da gasalawane esalumu.
When a country is in rebellion, it has many rulers, but a ruler who is wise and knowledgeable provides strength and continuity.
3 Gibu da foga oule masea, ha: i manu sagai da muagia: sa. Amo defele, nimi bagade ouligisu dunu da hame gagui dunu wadela: sa.
When someone poor oppresses the poor, it's like heavy rain that beats down the crops.
4 Di da sema nabawane hame hamosea, di da wadela: le hamosu dunu amolalimagale hamosa. Be di da noga: le nabasea, di da amolalima hame gasa.
People who reject the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law fight against them.
5 Wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa fofada: su hou hame dawa: Be nowa da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosea, da amo hou noga: le dawa:
Evil people understand nothing about justice, but those who follow the Lord understand it completely.
6 Di da liligi hame gaguiwane, be moloidafa hou hamonanumu da defea. Be bagade gaguiwane, be moloi hame hamosa esalumu da defea hame.
Better to be poor and have integrity than to be devious and rich.
7 Goi ayeligi da sema noga: le nabasea da bagade dawa: su dunu agoai esala. Be dunu da wiwili gala: su dunu ilima gilisisia, da ea edama gogosiasu iaha.
If you keep the law, you're a wise son, but if you keep bad company you shame your father.
8 Dia da muni molole hame lasea, o dabua baligili legebeba: le, bagade gagui ba: sea, fa: no dia muni huluane da fisi dagoi ba: mu. Haeafui dunu da amo muni lale, hame gagui dunuma imunu.
Anyone who gets rich through charging interest and profiteering is only storing it up for someone who is kind to the poor.
9 Di da Gode Ea sema higasea, Gode da dia sia: ne gadosu nabimu amola higamu.
God hates the prayers of people who disregard the law.
10 Di da moloidafa dunuma ogogobeba: le, e da wadela: le hamosea, amo da sani agoane. Be di da dina: saniga sa: imu. Be Gode da moloidafa dunuma bidi imunu.
Those who lead good people astray into evil ways will fall into their own traps, but the innocent will receive a good reward.
11 Liligi bagade gagui dunu da gasa fili, ili da noga: i dawa: su bagadeyale ilila: dawa: lala. Be liligi hame gagui molole dawa: su dunu, ilia liligi bagade gagui dunu ilia giadofabe asigi dawa: su hou noga: le dawa:
The rich see themselves as wise, but poor people with insight see right through them.
12 Moloidafa dunu da ouligisu hou lasea, dunu huluane da nodone gilisili ha: i naha. Be wadela: le hamosu dunu da ouligisu hou lasea, eno dunu da hobeale wamoaligisa.
When good people win, everyone celebrates, but when the wicked come to power, people hide.
13 Di da dia wadela: i hamoi amo wamolegesea, di da hahawane hame esalumu. Be dia wadela: i hou amo fofada: ne, sinidigisia, Gode da dima gogolema: ne olofomu.
People who hide their sins won't succeed, but those who confess and renounce their sins will be shown kindness.
14 Eso huluane Hina Godema nabasu hou hamosea, di da hahawane ba: mu. Be di da hihini gasa fili hamosea, dia hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
Blessed are those who always respect the Lord, but those who are stubborn end up in a lot of trouble.
15 Wadela: le hamosu ouligisu dunu da nimi bagade gesenenanebe laione wa: me o gogoli ahoanebe ‘bea’ agoane. Agoaiwane dunu da dunu fi ouligisia, hame gagui dunu da gasa hameba: le, se nabala.
A wicked ruler lording it over poor people is like a roaring lion or a charging bear.
16 Ouligisu dunu da dawa: su noga: i hame galea, e da ea fi ilima gasa fili, nimi bagadewane ouligimu. Be moloidafa ouligisu dunu da ode bagohame ea fi ouligimu.
An unwise ruler thoroughly extorts his people, but one who refuses to profit illegally will live long.
17 Nowa dunu da fane legesu hou hamosea, e da fedege agoane hina: bogoi uli dogosa. Amaiba: le, amo logo di mae hedofama.
Someone guilty of murder will go on running away from it until they die. Don't try and stop them.
18 Di da moloidafa hou hamosea, dia esalusu da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Be di da hou moloi hame hamosea, hedolo dafamu.
If you have integrity, you'll be kept safe, but if you live deviously, you'll fall.
19 Dogolole bugili nasu dunu da ha: i manu gilisi ba: sa. Be dunu da mae hawa: hamone, udigili esalea, ha: bagade ba: mu.
If you cultivate the land you'll have plenty of food, but if you chase fantasies you'll end up with nothing.
20 Moloidafa dunu da hahawane ganumu. Be nowa da hedolodafa bagade gaguiwane esalomusa: dawa: sea da se dabe iasu ba: mu.
If you're trustworthy, you'll be richly rewarded; but if you try to get rich quick, you won't go unpunished.
21 Afamagasu hou da wadela: idafa. Be wadela: i fofada: su dunu da hano suligisu lasea, hedolowane afamagasa.
Showing favoritism isn't good, but some people will do wrong just for a piece of bread.
22 Uasu dunu da hedolowane liligi bagade lamusa: dawa: beba: le, e da fa: no liligi hame gaguiwane esalumu amo hi hame dawa: sa.
Envious people are in a rush to get rich; they don't realize they'll end up poor.
23 Mae wamolegele, hima hou hahamoma: ne gagabole odagia sia: mu da defea. Agoane hame hamosea, di da ema hame asigisa. E da se lamu be fa: no amo sia: da dabua hahaeafuli sia: baligisa dawa: mu.
Honest criticism is appreciated later far more than flattery.
24 Nowa dunu da ea ada amola ame amo elea liligi wamolasea, amo ea hou da gugunufinisisu dunu ea hou defele gala.
A man who robs his father and mother, and says, “It's not a crime,” is one step away from becoming a murderer.
25 Uasu hou hamosea, fa: no bidi doaga: mu. Be di da Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: mu da defea.
Greedy people stir up trouble, but those who trust in the Lord will be successful.
26 Di da dia hanai amoga fawane fa: no bobogesea, amo da gagaoui hou agoai galebe. Be noga: le dawa: su dunu ilia olelesuma fa: no bobogesea, di da gaga: i ba: mu.
People who trust their own minds are foolish, but those who follow wise ways will be kept safe.
27 Dia liligi amo hame gagui dunu iligili iasea, di da eso huluane dia esaloma: ne lamu liligi defele ganabe ba: mu. Be di da hame gagui dunu, ilima hame asigi agoai lalea, dunu bagohame ilia da di gagabui aligima: ne sia: mu.
If you give to the poor, you won't be in need; but if you look the other way, you'll have many curses.
28 Wadela: le hamosu dunu da ouligisu hou lasea, ea fi dunu da ilia wamo aligisu soge hame yolesisa. Be wadela: le ouligisu dunu da dafasea, moloidafa dunu da ilia fi bu ouligimu.
When the wicked come to power, people hide; but when they fall, the good do well.
