< Malasu 3 >
1 Nagofe! Na adi hou olelebe amo mae gogolema amola eso huluane dawa: laloma amola na sia: be defele hamoma.
My son, forget not my law; but let thy heart keep my commandments;
2 Amola na olelebe amoga di da hahawane ode bagohame esalusu amola didili hamosu ba: mu.
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Dia eno dunu fidisu hou mae yolesima amola hohonosu maedafa hamoma. Amo hou huluane dia galogoaga noga: le idinigima amola dia dogoga fedege agoane dedema.
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thy heart:
4 Di agoane hamosea, Gode amola osobo bagade dunu ilia da dima hahawane ba: mu.
So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Hina Godema dia asigiga amola dogoga dawa: ma. Amola dia osobo bagadega dawa: amoga mae hamoma.
Trust in the LORD with all thy heart; and lean not to thy own understanding.
6 Be Hina Godema dawa: ma, adi liligi dia hamosea. Amasea, Hi fawane da logo moloidafa gala dima olelemu.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths.
7 Di disu amane mae dawa: ma di fawane da dawa: gala, amo mae dawa: ma. Be Hina Gode Hima fawane nabima, amola wadela: i hou hamomu higama.
Be not wise in thy own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 Dia amane hamosea, amo hou da manoma ida: iwane agoai ba: mu amola dia aiya da bahomu amola dia se da uhi dagoi ba: mu.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Di da Godema dawa: beba: le, dia hamoi liligi gobele salasu iabe defele ima amola dia sogega bugibi liligi baligili noga: idafa Godema ima.
Honor the LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thy increase:
10 Dia amane hamosea, dia ifabi amo ha: i manu bagadewane ba: mu amola dia diasu ganodini gagoma amola waini bagade ba: muba: le, legemu da hamedei ba: mu.
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 Nagofe! Gode E da di dawa: ma: ne se iasea, noga: le dawa: ma amola amo da Gode Ea sisasu amo dawa: ma.
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 Ada da ea mano amoma e da asigisa amoma dawa: ma: ne ema se iaha. Amo defele, Gode E da nowa dunu E da ema asigisia amoma se iasu amoga olelesa.
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
13 Dunu nowa da Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogoi helesea, e da nodoi esalumu.
Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.
14 Silifa amola gouli amola ilia bidi lasu ilegei da bagade. Be Bagade Dawa: su Hou da amo ea bidi lasu ilegei da baligi dagoi.
For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain of it than fine gold.
15 Amola Bagade Dawa: su Hou amo da igi ida: iwane amo ea bidi lasu defei bagade baligisa. Amola Bagade Dawa: su Hou amo da liligi huluane dia hanai amo da baligi dagoi.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared to her.
16 Bagade Dawa: su Hou amo da dima hahawane esalusu iaha amola osobo bagadega fifi asi helemu. Amola di da amo hou ganodini bagade gaguiwane esalumu.
Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honor.
17 Bagade dawa: su esalusu hou amo da dima hou ida: iwane hamoma: ne olelesa amola di logo noga: iga oule ahoa.
Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
18 Nowa da Bagade Dawa: su Hou amoma dawa: sea, ilia da nodoi esalumu. Amola Bagade Dawa: su Hou da hahawane esalusu ilima imunu.
She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.
19 Gode E da ea Bagade Dawa: su Hou amo ganodini osobo bagade amo hahamoi amola ea dawa: su amoga da mu amola hahamoi dagoi.
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 Gode Ea Bagade Dawa: su Hou amoga hano amola mu mobi (amo da osobo bagadega gibu iaha) hamoi dagoi.
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 Nagofe! Dia Bagade Dawa: su Hou ida: iwane amo noga: le gaguma amola noga: le ba: ma. Amo liligi dia mae yolesima.
My son, let not them depart from thy eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 Amo hou amo da dima esalalalusu imunuyo. Amola nodosu hou di da ba: mu amola hahawane esalusu lamu.
So shall they be life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Amasea, di da logoga ahoasea, di da hame dafamu.
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 Di da hamedafa beda: mu, golasea. Amola di da hahawane mae nedigili golamu, gasi ganodini.
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: but thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Amola di da adi hou doaga: mu amoga di da hame beda: mu. Amola amo hou da fo mabe agoai gala wadela: i hamosu dunuma doaga: sa, be di da hame beda: mu.
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 Hina Gode Ea da di gaga: mu. Amola Hi fawane da di sani ganodini mae sa: ima: ne hamomu.
For the LORD will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Dia da fidimu logo ba: sea, eno dunuma hou ida: iwane hamoma amola fidima.
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do [it].
28 Dia na: iyado amo ea fidima: ne sia: sea, amola asa o aiya amane mae sia: ma. Be e hedolowane waha fidima.
Say not to thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Dia na: iyado amo da: i dioma: ne mae sia: ma. Amola e da dia fi gadenene esala e da dima dafawaneyale dawa: sa.
Devise not evil against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Eno dunuma di udigili mae sia: ga gegema. Amola bai hame galea, di mae sia: ga gegema.
Strive not with a man without cause, if he hath done thee no harm.
31 Amola di da gegebe dunu ilima di mae mudama. Amola, ea hamobe amane mae hamoma.
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 Amola amai dunu ilima Hina Gode E da hahawane dogolegele hame ba: sa amola e da ilima bagadewane higasa. Be Hina Gode E da dunu nowa e da moloi hou hamosea, E da ilima Ea ilegesu olelesa.
For the froward [is] abomination to the LORD: but his secret [is] with the righteous.
33 Hina Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ea sosogo ilima gagabusu iaha. Be nowa dunu da moloi hou hamosea, E da amo ea sosogo hahawane dogolegele fidisa.
The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Amola nowa dunu e da gasa fi hou hamosa amola hi hou da eno ilia hou baligisa dawa: sa, Hina Gode da hahawane hame ba: sa. Be E da nowa da moloi hou hamosa, ilima E da hahawane gala.
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace to the lowly.
35 Amola dunu amo da Bagade Dawa: su Hou hamosa, dunu eno da ilima nodomu. Be gagaoui dunu ilia hou hamobeba: le da baligili gogosia: su ba: mu.
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
