Malasu 8
1 Nabima! Bagade Dawa: su Hou ida: iwane da dima wele sia: nana. Asigi dawa: su hou da sia: daha.
Does not Wisdom call out? Does not Understanding raise her voice?
2 Bagade Dawa: su Hou da goumi da: iya amola logo bega: logo bulufalegeiga lela.
On the hilltops beside the road, at the crossroads, Wisdom has taken her stand.
3 Amola moilai bai bagade sogebi amola logo holei gadenene e da lela agoane wele sia: nana,
Before the gates at the entrance into the city, at the entrances into the city, she calls out.
4 “Na dilima sia: sa! Dunu fifi asi gala! Na da wele sia: nana! Osobo bagade fi huluane dilima.
“It is to you, people, that I call; my voice is for the sons of mankind.
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.
You who are naive, learn wisdom; and you who are foolish, you must get an understanding mind.
6 Nabima! Na sia: amo da ida: iwane gala. Na sia: su da moloidafa fawane.
Listen, because I will speak of noble things, and when my lips open I will say upright things.
7 Na adi sia: be amo da dafawanedafa. Na da ogogosu bagade higasa.
For my mouth speaks what is trustworthy, and wickedness is disgusting to my lips.
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 just; in them is nothing twisted or misleading.
9 Amola dunu ea dogo ganodini, hadigi amola asigi dawa: su gala, amo dunu da na sia: noga: le ba: sa.
All of them are straight for the person who understands; my words are upright for those who 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.
Acquire my instruction rather than silver; acquire knowledge rather than pure 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 jewels; no treasure is equal to her.
12 Na da Bagade Dawa: su Hou. Na da asigi dawa: su hou amola moloidafa fofada: su hou dawa:
I, Wisdom, live with Prudence, and I possess knowledge and discretion.
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 Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance, the evil way, and perverted speech. I hate them.
14 Na da adi hamomusa: ilegesea na da didili hamomu. Na da asigi dawa: su gala amola na da gasa bagade gala.
I have good advice and sound wisdom; I am insight; strength belongs to me.
15 Na da hina bagade dunu fidisa amola ouligisu dunu noga: le ouligima: ne fidisa.
By me kings reign, and rulers make laws that are just.
16 Osobo bagade ouligisu dunu huluanedafa da na fidibiba: le, ouligisu hou hamosa.
By me princes rule, nobles, and all who govern with justice.
17 Na da nowa dunu da nama asigisia, ilima asigisa. Amola nowa da na hogosea e da ba: mu.
I love those who love me, and those who diligently seek me, find me.
18 Na da liligi bagade amola mimogo hou amola didili hamosu hou amo osobo bagadega esalebe dunu ilima imunusa: dawa:
With me are riches and honor, lasting wealth and righteousness.
19 Adi liligi dia nama lasea amo da liligi ida: iwane. Amo da gouli liligi amola silifa liligi baligi dagoi.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold; my produce is better than pure silver.
20 Amola eso huluane na da moloi hou amo ganodini ahoana. Na da moloidafa fofada: su hamonana.
I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice.
21 Na da nowa dunu da nama asigi galea, ilima liligi bagade iaha. Na da gobolo liligi noga: idafa amoga ilia diasu nabalesisa.
As a result, I make those who love me inherit wealth; I fill up their treasuries.
22 Musa: hemonega, Hina Gode da osobo bagade mae hamone, E da na hidadea hahamoi, amalalu liligi huluane da hahamoi.
Yahweh created me at the beginning, the first of his deeds then.
23 Hina Gode da na bisili musa: dafa hahamoi, amalalu osobo bagade hahamoi.
In ages long ago I was made—from the first, from the beginnings of the earth.
24 Na da hidadea lalelegei amola hano wayabo amola hano bubuga: su da fa: no hahamoi.
Before there were oceans, I was given birth— before there were springs abounding with water.
25 Amola Hina Gode da na hidadea hahamoi amalalu goumi amola agolo da fa: no hahamoi.
Before the mountains were settled and before the hills, I was born.
26 Gode da osobo bagade amola osobo su hahamoi. Be na (Bagade Dawa: su Hou) da amo bisili esalu.
I was born before Yahweh had made the earth or the fields, or even the first dust in 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.
I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew a circle on the surface of the deep.
28 Amola e da mu mobi hahamoi mu da: iya gado amola e da hano wayabo bagade amola hahamonoba, na da esalebe ba: i.
I was there when he established the clouds above and when the springs in the deep became fixed.
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.
I was there when he made his limit for the sea, so the waters should not spread beyond his command, and when there was set the limit for the foundations of the dry land.
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 beside him, as a skilled craftsman; I was his delight day after day, always rejoicing before him.
31 Amola na da osobo bagade amoma hahawane ba: i amola fifi asi gala huluane ilima hahawane bagade galu.
I was rejoicing in his whole world, and my delight was in the sons of mankind.
32 Wali goi ayeligi dilia! Noga: le nabima! Amola na sia: be defele hamoma amasea di da hahawane ganumu.
Now, my sons, listen to me, for those who keep my ways will be blessed.
33 Nabima! Dilia na olelei defele hamoma. Amola dilia na olelei liligi amoma mae higama, amasea di da hahawane esalumu.
Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not neglect 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.
The one who listens to me will be blessed. He will be watching every day at my doors, waiting beside the posts of my doors.
35 Nowa dunu da na hogole ba: sea, da esalusu ba: mu amola Hina Gode da amo dunu hahawane dogolegele ba: mu.
For whoever finds me, finds life, and he will find the favor of Yahweh.
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 he who fails, harms his own life; all who hate me love death.”
