Malasu 1
1 Goe buga ganodini malasu amo Soloumone (Da: ibidi ea mano) Isala: ili hina bagade da dedei.
The parables of Solomon, 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.
in order to know wisdom and discipline,
3 Amola ilia da dima noga: le hou moloi ahoanoma: ne olelesa amola defele hamoma: ne olelesa.
to understand words of prudence, and to accept the instruction of doctrine, justice and judgment, and equity,
4 Amola ilia di dawa: loma: ne hamosa amola dunu dawa: su bagade olelesa eno dunu goi olelema: ne.
so as to give discernment to little ones, knowledge and understanding to adolescents.
5 Amo sia: dedei da bagade dawa: su dunu ilima dawa: loma: ne, olelesu amola moloidafa hou imunu.
By listening, the wise shall become wiser and the intelligent shall possess governments.
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.
He shall turn his soul to a parable and to its interpretation, to the words of the wise and their enigmas.
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 the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The foolish despise wisdom as well as doctrine.
8 Nagofe! Dia noga: le nabima, dia ada amola ame elea sia: sea.
Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, and forsake not the law of your 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.
so that grace may be added to your head and a collar to your neck.
10 Nagofe dia! Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia dima adoba: sea, di amoma maedafa madelama.
My son, if sinners should entice you, do not consent to them.
11 Ilia sia: sa, “Misa! Ninia hedemusa: noga: i dunu medole legemusa: hogola masunu.
If they should say: “Come with us. We will lie in wait for blood. We will lay traps against the innocent, without cause.
Let us swallow him alive, like Hell, and whole, like one descending into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
13 Amasea ninia ilia liligi lale ninia diasuga gaguli masunu amola ninia da liligi gagui dunu agoai esalumu.
We will discover every precious substance. We will fill our houses with spoils.
14 Misa! Ninima madelama! Amola ninia wamolai liligi gilisili gagumu.”
Cast your lot with us. One purse will be for us all.”
15 Nagofe! Agoai dunu ilima mae gilisima amola di gasigama.
My son, do not walk with them. Preclude your feet from their paths.
16 Ilia da gasa bagadewane eso huluane eno dunu medole legemusa: momagei esala.
For their feet rush to evil, and they hurry to shed blood.
17 Amola di da sio di hanai amo sio sa: ima: ne sani amoga gaguma: ne e ba: lalea hame ligisisa.
But a net is thrown in vain before the eyes of those who have wings.
18 Be dunu nowa e amane hamosea, e da hina: bogoma: ne sani amoga hina: sa: ima: ne logo hogosa.
Likewise, they lie in ambush against their own blood, and they undertake deceits against their own souls.
19 Wamolasu e da ea wamolasu hamobeba: le da bogosu ba: mu. Nowa da nimi gasa fi hou bagade hamosea da bogosu ba: mu.
Thus, the ways of all those who are greedy seize the souls of those who possess.
20 Nabima! Bagade Dawa: su Hou da welala amola logoga amola gilisisu bidi lama: ne diasu sogega welala.
Wisdom forewarns far and wide; she bestows her voice in the streets.
21 Gasa gala welala amola fi sogebi logo holeiga amola dunu huluane gilisibi amola misini gilisisu sogebi.
She cries out at the head of crowds; at the entrance of the gates of the city, she offers her words, saying:
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: ?
“Little ones, how long will you choose to be childish, and how long will the foolish desire what is harmful to themselves, and how long will the imprudent hate knowledge?
23 Na da dilima gagabole sia: sea, dilia noga: le nabima! Na da hahawane sia: olelesa amola na dawa: dilima olelemu.
Be converted by my correction. Lo, I will offer my spirit to you, and I will reveal my words to 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.
For I called, and you refused. I extended my hand, and there was no one who watched.
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.
You have despised all my counsels, and you have neglected my rebukes.
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.
Similarly, I will ridicule you at your demise, and I will mock you, when that which you feared shall overcome you.
27 Adi liligi, mulu mabe amo defele se fo mabe defele dilima da: i dioi amola se nabasu doaga: sea,
When sudden calamity rushes upon you, and your demise advances like a tempest, when tribulation and anguish overcome 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 they will call to me, and I will not heed, they will arise in the morning, and not find me.
29 Dili da musa: Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogomusa: hame hamosu amola dili da Gode Ea moloidafa hou nabimu higasu.
For they held hatred for discipline, and they would not accept the fear of the Lord;
30 Dili da na sia: amo hame nabasu amola na olelesea amoga hame dawa: su.
they would not consent to my counsel, but they detracted from all of my corrections.
31 Amaiba: le dili da dilia higa: i amo ea bidi lamu. Amola dili hou amo hamoiba: le, dilia da olomu.
Therefore, they shall eat the fruit of their way, and they shall have their fill of their own counsels.
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.
The loathing of the little ones shall destroy them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall perish 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 whoever will listen to me shall rest without terror, and shall have full enjoyment of abundance, without fear of evils.”
