1 Goe buga ganodini malasu amo Soloumone (Da: ibidi ea mano) Isala: ili hina bagade da dedei.
The proverbs 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.
They are for achieving wisdom and instruction, and to recognize sayings that bring insight.
3 Amola ilia da dima noga: le hou moloi ahoanoma: ne olelesa amola defele hamoma: ne olelesa.
They provide education in what makes sense, living right, judging correctly, and acting fairly.
4 Amola ilia di dawa: loma: ne hamosa amola dunu dawa: su bagade olelesa eno dunu goi olelema: ne.
They give discernment to the immature, knowledge and discretion to the young.
5 Amo sia: dedei da bagade dawa: su dunu ilima dawa: loma: ne, olelesu amola moloidafa hou imunu.
Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance,
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.
understanding the proverbs and puzzles, the sayings and questions of the wise.
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.
Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.
8 Nagofe! Dia noga: le nabima, dia ada amola ame elea sia: sea.
My son, pay attention to your father's instruction, and don't reject your mother's teaching.
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.
They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.
10 Nagofe dia! Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia dima adoba: sea, di amoma maedafa madelama.
My son, if evil people try to tempt you, don't give into them.
11 Ilia sia: sa, “Misa! Ninia hedemusa: noga: i dunu medole legemusa: hogola masunu.
They may tell you, “Come with us. Let's go and hide, ready to kill someone. Let's ambush someone for fun!
Let's bury them alive; let's put them in the grave while they're still healthy! (Sheol h7585)
13 Amasea ninia ilia liligi lale ninia diasuga gaguli masunu amola ninia da liligi gagui dunu agoai esalumu.
We'll take from them all kinds of valuable things and fill our homes with the stuff we steal!
14 Misa! Ninima madelama! Amola ninia wamolai liligi gilisili gagumu.”
Come and join us and we'll all share what we get!”
15 Nagofe! Agoai dunu ilima mae gilisima amola di gasigama.
My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.
16 Ilia da gasa bagadewane eso huluane eno dunu medole legemusa: momagei esala.
For they rush to do evil; they hurry to commit violence and murder.
17 Amola di da sio di hanai amo sio sa: ima: ne sani amoga gaguma: ne e ba: lalea hame ligisisa.
There's no point in trying to lure birds into a net when they can see it.
18 Be dunu nowa e amane hamosea, e da hina: bogoma: ne sani amoga hina: sa: ima: ne logo hogosa.
However, these evil people hide ready to kill others, but they themselves are the victims. They're only ambushing themselves!
19 Wamolasu e da ea wamolasu hamobeba: le da bogosu ba: mu. Nowa da nimi gasa fi hou bagade hamosea da bogosu ba: mu.
This is what happens to you if you try to become rich through crime—it kills you!
20 Nabima! Bagade Dawa: su Hou da welala amola logoga amola gilisisu bidi lama: ne diasu sogega welala.
Wisdom calls out in the streets; she shouts aloud in the squares.
21 Gasa gala welala amola fi sogebi logo holeiga amola dunu huluane gilisibi amola misini gilisisu sogebi.
She cries out at busy corners; she explains her message at the town gates:
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 will you stupid people love stupidity? How long will scornful people enjoy their mocking? How long will fools hate knowledge?
23 Na da dilima gagabole sia: sea, dilia noga: le nabima! Na da hahawane sia: olelesa amola na dawa: dilima olelemu.
Pay attention to my warnings, and I'll pour out my deepest thoughts to you—I'll explain what I know 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 have called you, but you refused to listen; I reached out my hand to you, but you didn't care.
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 ignored everything I said; you wouldn't accept any of my warnings.
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.
So I'll laugh at you when you're in trouble; I'll mock you when you're in a panic.
27 Adi liligi, mulu mabe amo defele se fo mabe defele dilima da: i dioi amola se nabasu doaga: sea,
When panic rains down on you like a storm, when trouble hits you like a whirlwind, when sorrow and pain come on 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 you'll call out to me for help, but I won't answer; you'll search hard for me, but won't find me.
29 Dili da musa: Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogomusa: hame hamosu amola dili da Gode Ea moloidafa hou nabimu higasu.
Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.
30 Dili da na sia: amo hame nabasu amola na olelesea amoga hame dawa: su.
They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.
31 Amaiba: le dili da dilia higa: i amo ea bidi lamu. Amola dili hou amo hamoiba: le, dilia da olomu.
So they'll have to eat the fruit of their own choices, bloated by their own devious schemes.
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.
Stupid people are killed by their rebellion; foolish people are destroyed by their lack of concern.
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 everyone who listens to me will be kept safe, and will live without worrying about problems.”
