Proverbs 22
1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.
Hou aduna gala. Afae da di da moloi hou hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa. Eno da di da bagade gagusu dunu agoai ba: mu. Di da moloi hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa, amo logoga masa: ne ilegema.
2 The rich and the poor meet together. Jehovah is the maker of them all.
Bagade gagui dunu amola hame gagui dunu, ela da hisu hisu. Be hou afadafa da defele. Amo da Hina Gode da ela defele Hi hamoi.
3 A prudent man sees the evil, and hides himself, but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
Molole dawa: su dunu da mosolasu mabe noga: le ba: sa, amola amo fisima: ne noga: le gagagulasa. Be noga: le hame dawa: su dunu da mosolasu amo ganodini ahoa, amola fa: no e da bagade gogosiane da: i diosa.
4 The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah is riches and honor and life.
Hina Godema nabasu hou hamoma, amola gasa fi hou mae hamoma. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu, dunu eno da dima nodomu, amola di da ode bagohame esalumu.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of a perverse man. He who keeps his soul shall be far from them.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da esalusu logoga ahoasea, sani bagohame ba: sa. Di da dia esalusu amoma asigi galea, amo saniga dasa: besa: le, segasa: ima.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Dia mano da moloiwane esaloma: ne, ema hou noga: le olelema. Amasea, e da amo hou mae gogolele, ea bogosu amoga doaga: mu.
7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Hame gagui dunu da bagade gagui dunu ilia bidi mae lale udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai galebe. Nowa dunu da enoma muni bu imunusa: lasea, e da amo muni iasu dunu amo ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esala.
8 He who sows iniquity shall reap calamity, and the rod of his wrath shall fail.
Di da moloi hame hou, hawa: agoane sagasea, se nabasu da sono agoane heda: le, se nabasu da gamibi agoai ba: mu. Amola amo sagai da hame dialumu.
9 He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.
Di da mae hihini, dia ha: i manu mogili hame gagui dunuma iasea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
10 Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out, yea, strife and reproach will cease.
Dilia gasa fi dunu sefasima. Amasea, dilia da sia: ga gegesu amola dunu eno ilia dio amoma lasagole sia: su, amo bu hame ba: mu.
11 He who loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips, the king will be his friend.
Nowa da hadigi ida: iwane asigi dawa: su amo hanai galea, amola asigidafa sia: hanai galea, amo dunuma hina bagade da dogolegemu.
12 The eyes of Jehovah preserve knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the treacherous man.
Hina Gode da dafawane sia: momagele legesa. Be E da ogogosu dunu ilia sia: wadela: lesisa.
13 The sluggard says, There is a lion outside. I shall be slain in the streets.
Hihi dabuli dunu e da eso huluane diasu ganodini fawane esala. E da amane sia: sa, “Na da gadili ahoasea, laione wa: me da na medole legemu galebe!”
14 The mouth of interloping women is a deep pit. He who is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall in it.
Inia uda adole lasu hou da sani agoane diala. Hina Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ilima ougi bagade gala, amola agoai dunu da amo saniga hedolo sa: imu.
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Mano huluane da dawa: hamedene, udigili hou hamonana. Be ili fada: i dawa: ma: ne fasea da ilia hou bu hahamomu.
16 He who oppresses a poor man to his increase, and he who gives to a rich man, comes only to want.
Dia udigili iasu amo bagade gagui dunuma iasea, o di bagade gaguma: ne hame gagui dunu ilia liligi lasea, amola ilima banenesisia, di amola da fa: no hame gagui dunu agoai ba: mu.
17 Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart to my knowledge.
Nabima! Amasea, na da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia olelebe amo dima olelemu. Ilia olelebe amo noga: le hogoi helema.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, if they be established together upon thy lips.
Amola di da amo olelebe noga: le dawa: sea, amola eno dunuma olelemusa: dawa: sea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
19 That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.
Na da amo olelebe wali dima olelemu. Bai di noga: le nabalu, Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: mu, amo na da hanai galebe.
20 Have I not written to thee excellent things of counsels and knowledge,
Na da dima olelema: ne, sia: 30 agoane dedei dagoi. Amo sia: ganodini dawa: ma: ne sia: , sisasu sia: amola fada: i sia: da dedei dagoi.
21 to make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou may carry back words of truth to those who send thee?
Amo sia: da dima dafawanedafa hou olelemu. Amasea, di da enoga dafawane hou hogoi helema: ne asunasisia, di da amo ea bai bu gaguli misunu.
22 Do not rob a poor man, because he is poor, nor oppress an afflicted man in the gate.
Hame gagui dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia hou mae banenesima. Amola asaboi gasa hame dunu ilima fofada: sea, ilia hou mae banenesima.
23 For Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil of life those who despoil them.
Bai Hina Gode da ili fidima: ne ilimagale fofada: mu. Amola nowa dunu da amo asaboi hame gagui dunu ilima beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: sea, Hina Gode da amo dunu beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: mu.
24 Make no friendship with a man who is given to anger, and thou shall not go with a wrathful man,
Dilia gasa fi nimi bagade dunu amo maedafa dogolegema.
25 lest thou learn this ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
Di da amaiwane hou lasa: besa: le amola dia hou bu afadenemu hamedeiwane ba: sa: besa: le amo maedafa dogolegema.
26 Be thou not one of those who strike hands, or of those who are sureties for debts.
Dunu eno da liligi lale bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, di da ea udigili lai amo dabe imunusa: mae sia: ma
27 If thou have not wherewith to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
Di da fa: no amo dabe imunu da hamedei ba: sea, se nabimu. Amola ilia dia liligi huluane amola dia diaheda: su amolawane, amo dabeyale lamu.
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
Musa: fi dunu ilia soge alalo ilegesu, amo maedafa gua: ma.
29 See thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before obscure men.
Nowa dunu da noga: idafa hawa: hamosu hamosea, e da dunu oda bagohame ilia hou baligisa. Amola e da hina bagade dunu ilima gilisimu defele ba: sa.
