Malasu 1
1 Goe buga ganodini malasu amo Soloumone (Da: ibidi ea mano) Isala: ili hina bagade da dedei.
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
2 Goe da malasu amo ea di bagade fidimuyo amola dia noga: le hou moloi ba: ma: ne amola hou ida: iwanedafa olelesa. Amola noga: le amo sia: dawa: ma: ne ea bai da gududafa.
To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;
3 Amola ilia da dima noga: le hou moloi ahoanoma: ne olelesa amola defele hamoma: ne olelesa.
To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;
4 Amola ilia di dawa: loma: ne hamosa amola dunu dawa: su bagade olelesa eno dunu goi olelema: ne.
To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:
5 Amo sia: dedei da bagade dawa: su dunu ilima dawa: loma: ne, olelesu amola moloidafa hou imunu.
That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:
6 Amasea, ilia da malasu wamolegei bai amo noga: le dawa: ma: ne amola malasu da moloi dunu ea hou heda: ma: ne eno hou doaga: sea, dawa: ma: ne olelesa.
To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 Di da bagade dawa: su hou lamu hanai galea, hidadea Godema nodone dawa: ma. Gagaoui dunu ilia da dawa: su bagade lama: ne hame asigisa, amola moloidafa hou dawa: mu higasa.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; [But] the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
8 Nagofe! Dia noga: le nabima, dia ada amola ame elea sia: sea.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 Elea olelebe amo ea dia hou da gado heda: mu amola dia hamobe liligi da nina: hamoi habuga o galogoaga gisa: gisu amo ba: le defele ba: mu.
For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.
10 Nagofe dia! Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia dima adoba: sea, di amoma maedafa madelama.
My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.
11 Ilia sia: sa, “Misa! Ninia hedemusa: noga: i dunu medole legemusa: hogola masunu.
If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause;
Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit; (Sheol h7585)
13 Amasea ninia ilia liligi lale ninia diasuga gaguli masunu amola ninia da liligi gagui dunu agoai esalumu.
We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil;
14 Misa! Ninima madelama! Amola ninia wamolai liligi gilisili gagumu.”
Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:
15 Nagofe! Agoai dunu ilima mae gilisima amola di gasigama.
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:
16 Ilia da gasa bagadewane eso huluane eno dunu medole legemusa: momagei esala.
For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
17 Amola di da sio di hanai amo sio sa: ima: ne sani amoga gaguma: ne e ba: lalea hame ligisisa.
For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:
18 Be dunu nowa e amane hamosea, e da hina: bogoma: ne sani amoga hina: sa: ima: ne logo hogosa.
And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.
19 Wamolasu e da ea wamolasu hamobeba: le da bogosu ba: mu. Nowa da nimi gasa fi hou bagade hamosea da bogosu ba: mu.
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Nabima! Bagade Dawa: su Hou da welala amola logoga amola gilisisu bidi lama: ne diasu sogega welala.
Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places;
21 Gasa gala welala amola fi sogebi logo holeiga amola dunu huluane gilisibi amola misini gilisisu sogebi.
She crieth in the chief place of concourse; At the entrance of the gates, In the city, she uttereth her words:
22 Gagaoui dunu habowali dili da gagaoui esaloma: bela: ? Habowali dilia da Bagade Dawa: su Hou amoma higale oufesega: ma: bela: ? Amola habogala dawa: lama: bela: ?
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?
23 Na da dilima gagabole sia: sea, dilia noga: le nabima! Na da hahawane sia: olelesa amola na dawa: dilima olelemu.
Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you.
24 Na da dilima welalu amola dili misa: ne sia: nanu, be dilia da hame nabi amola dilia da na sia: be hame dawa: digi.
Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded;
25 Dili da na fada: i sia: i higa: i amola na olelei amola dili da amane hamomusa: hame hanai amola na gagabosu hame nabi.
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof:
26 Amaiba: le, dilia da da: i dioi doaga: sea na da diliba: le oufesega: mu amola na da dili gadele oumu dilima beda: ga da: i dioi doaga: sea.
I also will laugh in [the day of] your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 Adi liligi, mulu mabe amo defele se fo mabe defele dilima da: i dioi amola se nabasu doaga: sea,
When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 dilia da hahawane bagade dawa: su esalusu hogomu amola wemu. Be na da hame nabimu. Dilia da na hogoi helemu. Be amomane dilia da na hame ba: mu.
Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:
29 Dili da musa: Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogomusa: hame hamosu amola dili da Gode Ea moloidafa hou nabimu higasu.
For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah,
30 Dili da na sia: amo hame nabasu amola na olelesea amoga hame dawa: su.
They would none of my counsel, They despised all my reproof.
31 Amaiba: le dili da dilia higa: i amo ea bidi lamu. Amola dili hou amo hamoiba: le, dilia da olomu.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices.
32 Hame dawa: su dunu ilia bogosu bai da ilia Bagade Dawa: su Hou amo higasa. Amola gagaoui dunu ilia da ilia gagaoui hou amoga ilila: wadela: sa.
For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
33 Nowa da nama nabasu hou hamosea amo da gaga: su ba: mu, amola e da udigili beda: su hou bai hame ba: mu.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.
