Malasu 6
1 Nagofe! Dunu afae da dunu enoma dabea imunu ganoba, di da amo dunu fidimusa: , ea dabe disu imunu ilegele sia: bala: ?
My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,
2 Di da dina: ilegele sia: i amoga fawane fedege agoane sani ganodini sa: ibala: ?
You are taken as in a net by the words of your mouth, the sayings of your lips have overcome you.
3 Nagofe! Amaiba: le di da amo dunu ea gasaga la: gi dialebe. Be la: gi amo hedolo fadegale fasimusa: , na da logo dima olelemu. Amo dunuma hedolo doaga: le, e da dia la: gi amo fadegale fasimusa: ema edegema.
Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.
4 Mae golama amola mae helefima. Ema hedolo masa.
Give no sleep to your eyes, or rest to them;
5 Di da hedolowane amo la: gisu sani hou amoma hobeama amola ohe o sio da benea ahoasu dunu amoga hobeabe defele di hobeama.
Make yourself free, like the roe from the hand of the archer, and the bird from him who puts a net for her.
6 Hihi dabuli dunu ilia da gedama ea fifi ahoabe ba: mu amola dawa: lalomu da defea.
Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:
7 Ilia da bisilua hame amola ouligisu hame gala.
Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8 Be amomane ili da ha: i manu da defele ba: sa amola gibu eso amoga ilia da ha: i manu ilia liligi ligisisu ganodini ligisisa amola esoi bagade ba: sea ili da ha: i manu defele ba: sa.
She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.
9 Habowali hihi dabuli dunu da udigili golama: bela: ? Amola habogala e da bu nedigima: bela: ?
How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?
10 E da amane sia: sa, “Na da fonobahadi golamu!” Amola e da amane sia: sa, “Na da na lobo gadoiba: le, fonobahadi helefimu.”
A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
11 Be e da golai dianoba, hame gagui hou da wamolasu dunu ilia doagala: su hou defelewane ema doaga: mu.
Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man
12 Hamedei dunu amola wadela: le hamosu dunu da udigili ogogole sia: sisa: ahoa.
A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;
13 Ilia da hou moloiwane hame sia: sa. Ilia da ilia siga, loboga amola emoga hamosa ea na: iyado ema ogogomusa: amane hamosa.
Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;
14 Ilia da wadela: i hou hamosu fawane dawa: sa amola ilia asigi dawa: suga da eno dunu wadela: lesimusa: dawa: sa.
His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.
15 Ilia amane hamobeba: le, ilia da hedolowane se nabasu ba: mu. Ilia da bogoma: ne hedofale fasi dagoi ba: mu.
For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.
16 Liligi fesuale gala amo da Hina Gode da bagade higasa. Amo da 1. Dunu ea odagi da gasa fi hou agoane ba: sa 2. Dunu da ea lafidili ogogosu sia: sia: sa 3. Dunu da ea loboga noga: i dunu fane legesa 4. Dunu da ea dogo ganodini wadela: i hou hamomusa: dawa: lala 5. Dunu da wadela: i hou hamomusa: gini hehenasa 6. Ba: su dunu da fofada: be amo ganodini ogogosu sia: enoenoi adole iaha 7. Dunu da sama gilisisu ganodini dunu se nabima: ne, mosolasu hou hamosa
Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:
Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;
A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;
A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
20 Nagofe! Dia ada adi sia: sea mae gogolema amola dia ame ea olelei liligi amo noga: le dawa: loma.
My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:
21 Amo sia: di noga: le dia dogo ganodini ligisima amola dawa: loma.
Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck.
22 Elea olelei amo da di logoga ahoasea, di bisili logo olelemu. Amola amo olelei da di fidimu amola noga: le ouligimu gasi ganodini amola hadigi ganodini.
In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you.
23 Ilia olelebe hou amo da hadigi gamali agoai amola ilia olelebe amoga di da hahawane esalusu lamu.
For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.
24 Amo hou amoga da wadela: i uda adole lasu amoma higamu amola eno dunu ilia uda wadela: le hamomusa: adole ba: sea, amoga hobeamu.
They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman.
25 Amola ea da: i hodo amo ba: beba: le amoga di mae hanama amola da dima hanaiwane ba: sea, di mae hanama amola ea si noga: i ba: be amoga mae ba: ma.
Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.
26 Amola nowa dunu e da ea da: i bidiga lasu uda lamusa: dawa: sea, agi ga: gi afadafa fawane ea bidi amoga bidi lasa. Be nowa dunu e da inia uda adole lasea, amo dunu e da ea liligi huluanedafa galagasa.
For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.
27 Di da dia bida: gia lalu oso ligisili gaguli ahoasea, dia abula sali da hame nema: bela: ?
May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing?
28 Di da lalu nenanebeba: le amo da: iya ahoasea, dia emo da gia: ma: bela: ?
Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 Amaiba: le amo defele inia uda amola diasea, amo se nabasu defele diala amola nowa dunu e amane hamosea, e da se nabimu.
So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment.
30 Amola da nowa dunu e ha: i manu wamolasea, e ha: i galea ema eno dunu ilia higale hame sia: sa.
Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it:
31 Amomane ilia ba: sea, wamolasu e da bu liligi dabe imunu ia lai amo fesuale imunu amola e da liligi ea gagui amo huluane imunu.
But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.
32 Be nowa dunu da wamo inia uda lasea amo dunu e da gagaoui fawane amola asigi dawa: su hame gala e da hifawane hi hou gugunifinisisa.
He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.
33 Amaiba: le, eno dunu ilia e higale ba: mu amola e se nabima: ne hiougili fofane, amola e da eso huluane gogosia: iwane esalumu.
Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away.
34 Wamolai uda egoa e da mudale da: i diosu baligili da: i diomu. E da dabe lamusa: hame dagolesimu.
For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy.
35 Amola egoa e adi bidi dia iasea amo liligi amoga da ea da: i dioi amola ea ougi da hame guminisimu.
He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.
