Thou shalt proclaim wisdom, that understanding may be obedient to thee.
2 Bagade Dawa: su Hou da goumi da: iya amola logo bega: logo bulufalegeiga lela.
For she is on lofty eminences, and stands in the midst of the ways.
3 Amola moilai bai bagade sogebi amola logo holei gadenene e da lela agoane wele sia: nana,
For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, [saying],
4 “Na dilima sia: sa! Dunu fifi asi gala! Na da wele sia: nana! Osobo bagade fi huluane dilima.
You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.
5 Nowa dunu asigi dawa: su hame galea, asigi dawa: su ida: iwane gala amo lama, amola asigi dawa: su noga: le dawa: ma. Di da gagaoui esalabala: ? Asigi dawa: su ida: iwane lama.
O ye simple, understand subtlety, and ye that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.
6 Nabima! Na sia: amo da ida: iwane gala. Na sia: su da moloidafa fawane.
Hearken to me; for I will speak solemn [truths]; and will produce right [sayings] from my lips.
7 Na adi sia: be amo da dafawanedafa. Na da ogogosu bagade higasa.
For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me.
8 Liligi na sia: be amo da dafawane. Afae da ogogole hame sia: sa amola giadofale hame ahoa.
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse.
9 Amola dunu ea dogo ganodini, hadigi amola asigi dawa: su gala, amo dunu da na sia: noga: le ba: sa.
They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.
10 Silifa liligi amoma mae dawa: ma. Be na olelebe liligi amo dawa: ma. Amola noga: idafa gouli mae dawa: ma. Be na sia: ida: iwane, amoma dawa: ma.
Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.
11 Na da Bagade Dawa: su Hou. Na da ida: iwanedafa amola na da igi su bagadega lasu liligi baligi dagoi, amola dia hanasu liligi baligi dagoi.
For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.
12 Na da Bagade Dawa: su Hou. Na da asigi dawa: su hou amola moloidafa fofada: su hou dawa:
I wisdom have dwelt [with] counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.
13 Nowa da Hina Godema nodone dawa: be da wadela: i hou amola ledo huluane higasa. Na da amoma higasa amola nowa da hifawane hina: dio gaguia gadosea amola wadela: i hou amola ogogosu hamonanebe, amo huluane na higasa.
The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.
14 Na da adi hamomusa: ilegesea na da didili hamomu. Na da asigi dawa: su gala amola na da gasa bagade gala.
Counsel and safety are mine; prudence is mine, and strength is mine.
15 Na da hina bagade dunu fidisa amola ouligisu dunu noga: le ouligima: ne fidisa.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 Osobo bagade ouligisu dunu huluanedafa da na fidibiba: le, ouligisu hou hamosa.
By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over the earth.
17 Na da nowa dunu da nama asigisia, ilima asigisa. Amola nowa da na hogosea e da ba: mu.
I love those that love me; and they that seek me shall find [me].
18 Na da liligi bagade amola mimogo hou amola didili hamosu hou amo osobo bagadega esalebe dunu ilima imunusa: dawa:
Wealth and glory belong to me; yea, abundant possessions and righteousness.
19 Adi liligi dia nama lasea amo da liligi ida: iwane. Amo da gouli liligi amola silifa liligi baligi dagoi.
[It is] better to have my fruit than [to have] gold and precious stones; and my produce is better than choice silver.
20 Amola eso huluane na da moloi hou amo ganodini ahoana. Na da moloidafa fofada: su hamonana.
I walk in ways of righteousness, and [am] conversant with the paths of judgment;
21 Na da nowa dunu da nama asigi galea, ilima liligi bagade iaha. Na da gobolo liligi noga: idafa amoga ilia diasu nabalesisa.
that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember [also] to recount the things of old.
22 Musa: hemonega, Hina Gode da osobo bagade mae hamone, E da na hidadea hahamoi, amalalu liligi huluane da hahamoi.
The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.
23 Hina Gode da na bisili musa: dafa hahamoi, amalalu osobo bagade hahamoi.
He established me before time [was] in the beginning, before he made the earth:
24 Na da hidadea lalelegei amola hano wayabo amola hano bubuga: su da fa: no hahamoi.
even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:
25 Amola Hina Gode da na hidadea hahamoi amalalu goumi amola agolo da fa: no hahamoi.
before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.
26 Gode da osobo bagade amola osobo su hahamoi. Be na (Bagade Dawa: su Hou) da amo bisili esalu.
The Lord made countries and uninhabited [tracks], and the highest inhabited parts of the world.
27 Gode da mu amo gadodili ligisia amola hano wayabo bagade amola mu mae gilisima: ne alalo hamonoba, na da amogai esalebe ba: i.
When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:
28 Amola e da mu mobi hahamoi mu da: iya gado amola e da hano wayabo bagade amola hahamonoba, na da esalebe ba: i.
and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:
29 Amola E Hi sia: defele hano wayabo da heda: i amola hano wayabo da Hi sia: i defele osoboba: le hame heda: i, amola E da osobo bagade gagumusa: osobo bagade ea bai hidadea ilegeloba, na da esalebe ba: i.
decree. and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:
30 Amo esoga na amola da Hina Gode guga esalu. Na da fedege agoane, diasu gagumusa: dedesu dunu agoai E guga esalu. Na da esalebeba: le, E da hahawane galu amola na da Ema nodonanu.
I was by him, suiting [myself to him], I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.
31 Amola na da osobo bagade amoma hahawane ba: i amola fifi asi gala huluane ilima hahawane bagade galu.
For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced among the children of men.
32 Wali goi ayeligi dilia! Noga: le nabima! Amola na sia: be defele hamoma amasea di da hahawane ganumu.
Now then, [my] son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall hearken to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;
33 Nabima! Dilia na olelei defele hamoma. Amola dilia na olelei liligi amoma mae higama, amasea di da hahawane esalumu.
[Hear wisdom and be wise, and ] [be not strangers to it. ]
34 Nowa dunu da na bagade dawa: su sia: nabasea, e da hahawanedafa ba: mu. Nowa da eso huluane na logo holeiga bagade dawa: su lama: ne lelea, da hahawane ba: mu.
watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.
35 Nowa dunu da na hogole ba: sea, da esalusu ba: mu amola Hina Gode da amo dunu hahawane dogolegele ba: mu.
For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and [in them] is prepared favour from the Lord.
36 Be nowa dunu da nama hame masea, e da hisu wadela: sa. Nowa dunu da nama higasea, e da bogosu ba: mu!” Bagade Dawa: su Hou da fedege sia: agoane sia: sa.
But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls: and they that hate me love death.
