Ecclesiastes 10
1 As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
Gagoba: bogoi da gabusiga: manoma ganagu ganodini sali, amo huluane gaha hamomusa: dawa: Amola gagaoui hou fonobahadi da bagade dawa: su hou bagade amo wadela: lesimusa: dawa:
2 A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.
Bagade dawa: su dunu da hi hou hamosea, moloidafa hou hamosa. Amola gagaoui dunu da hi hou hamosea, wadela: i hou fawane hamosa.
3 Even as the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking, and he shows everyone that he is a fool.
Amomane, gagaoui dunu da degabo misi dunu logoa gousa: sea, ilia da ea gagaoui hou hedolo dawa: mu. E da hi hou hamobeba: le, dunu huluane ilima hi gagaoui hou olelesa.
4 If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.
Dia ouligisu dunu da dima ougi ba: sea, dia hawa: hamosu mae yolesima. Di da asabole esalea, dia bagade giadofai da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi ba: mu.
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun— an error that proceeds from the ruler:
Na da giadofai hou afae osobo bagadega dialebe ba: i. Amo giadofasu ouligisu dunu da hamosa.
6 Folly is appointed to great heights, but the rich sit in lowly positions.
Ilia da gagaoui dunu amo ouligisu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegesa. Amola bagade gagui dunu yolesisa.
7 I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves.
Na da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hosiga fila heda: lebe ba: i. Amola hina bagade ea fi dunu udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane emoga ahoanebe ba: i.
8 He who digs a pit may fall into it, and he who breaches a wall may be bitten by a snake.
Dia da uli dogonesisia, dina: amo ganodini sa: imu. Di da dobea fei gadelale dasea, sania da di gasomanu.
9 The one who quarries stones may be injured by them, and he who splits logs endangers himself.
Di da igi gagoudasu sogebi hawa: hamosea, di da igiga se nabimu. Di da ifa oda hida: sea, di da amo hamonana, se nabimu.
10 If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened, more strength must be exerted, but skill produces success.
Dia goaha: i da bahuai, amola di amo hame debesea, di da amoga hawa: bagade hamone helemu. Hidadea dia hawa: hamosu ilegemu da defea.
11 If the snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
Di da asigi dawa: suga sania ouligimu da defea. Be sania da hidadea di gasonasea, amo da dia ouligisu hou wadela: lesimu.
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.
Dunu eno da bagade dawa: su dunu ea sia: beba: le, ema nodosa. Be gagaoui dunu ea sia: i liligi da ea hou wadela: lesisa.
13 The beginning of his talk is folly, and the end of his speech is evil madness.
E da ea sia: udigili hamedei agoane musa. Be ea sia: dagosu da doulasi dunu ea sia: agoane ba: sa.
14 Yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what is coming, and who can tell him what will come after him?
Gagaoui da gebewane mae yolesili sia: daha. Dunu afae da fa: no hedolo mabe hou hamedafa dawa: Amola ninia bogole fa: no hamomu, dunu huluane da adomu gogolei.
15 The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city.
Di da bagade hawa: hamobeba: le, gufia: ne esalumu da defea hame. Gagaoui dunu amo da hi diasua buhagimu logo da hame dawa: , agoai dunu fawane da agoane hawa: hamosa.
16 Woe to you, O land whose king is a youth, and whose princes feast in the morning.
Soge amo ea hina bagade da goi fawane, amola ea ouligisu dunu da daeya ganini hahabe lolo nabe fawane hamosa, amo soge da bidi hamosu ba: mu.
17 Blessed are you, O land whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes feast at the proper time— for strength and not for drunkenness.
Be soge amogawi ea hina bagade da hi asigi dawa: suga hawa: hamosa, amola ea ouligisu dunu da ilegesu defele ha: i naha amola ilia hou ouligisa amola feloale hame hamosa, amo soge da hahawane bagade gala.
18 Through laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks.
Dunu da hawa: hamomu higabeba: le, ea diasu figisu hame hahamosea, amo da dadadini, diasu amola da gelemu.
19 A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.
Di da lolo nasea, hahawane ba: mu, amola waini hano nasea, hahawane ba: mu. Be muni hame galea, ha: i manu amola waini hano lamu da hamedei ba: mu.
20 Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
Osobo bagade hina bagade amoma lalasogole mae sia: ma. Amola dia golabe sesei amo ganodini, bagade gagui dunu ilia houba: le amo mae lalasogole sia: ma. Bai sioga da amo sia: ilima mini asili, adosa: besa: le, mae sia: ma.
