Proverbs 20
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
Nowa da adini bagade nasea, e da feloale gegesu hou amola wadela: le sia: su hou bagade hamosa. Nowa dunu e adini bagadewane ba: sea, ea hou da gagaoui dunu agoai gala.
2 The terror of a king is like the roar of a lion; whoever provokes him forfeits his own life.
Di da laione wa: me amo da gegesenebe ema beda: i amo defele ougi bagade hina bagadema beda: mu da defea. Di da hina bagade ougima: ne hamosea, amo hou da di gobele fane legesu hou defele.
3 It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute, but any fool will quarrel.
Gagaoui dunu huluane da sia: ga gegesu hou musu dawa: Be sia: ga gegesu amo yolesimu da hou noga: idafa.
4 The slacker does not plow in season; at harvest time he looks, but nothing is there.
Bugili nasu dunu da hihi dabuli aligiba: le ea osobo gidinasu i amoga osobo hame gidinasea, e da fa: no ha: i manu dadamimu hame ba: mu.
5 The intentions of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.
Osobo bagade dunu ilia asigi dawa: su da hano nasu ulidou amo ganodini diala agoane gala. Be bagade dawa: su dunu da asigi dawa: su hiougili gadosu dawa:
6 Many a man proclaims his loving devotion, but who can find a trustworthy man?
Dunu bagohame da ilia mae fisili fuligala: su hou fawane hamonana, ilia udigili sia: sa. Be moloidafa fuligala: su dunu amo di da hogoi helele, hame ba: mu.
7 The righteous man walks with integrity; blessed are his children after him.
Nowa mano ilia eda da moloidafa hou fawane hamosea, da hahawane esala.
8 A king who sits on a throne to judge sifts out all evil with his eyes.
Hina bagade e da dunu enoma fofada: sea, e da wadela: i hou ba: sea, amo ea bai hedolo dawa: sa.
9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin”?
Dunu afaega, “Na da wadela: i hou hamedafa hamosu,” amane sia: mu da hamedei.
10 Differing weights and unequal measures — both are detestable to the LORD.
Hina Gode da nowa dunu da dioi ba: su amola defei ba: su liligi amo ogogole hamosea, ilima higa: i hodosa.
11 Even a young man is known by his actions— whether his conduct is pure and upright.
Dunu huluane amola mano ilia hamobe ba: sea, eno dunu da ilia houdafa dawa: mu. Ilia da moloidafa amola noga: iwane hamosea, dunu eno da ilia houdafa da noga: i hedolo dawa: mu.
12 Ears that hear and eyes that see— the LORD has made them both.
Hina Gode e da ninima si amoga nini da ba: ma: ne amola ge amoga nini da nabima: ne, amo ninima i dagoi.
13 Do not love sleep, or you will grow poor; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of food.
Di da eso huluane golai dialea, di da hame gagui agoai esalumu. Di eso huluane hawa: hamosea, ha: i manu bagade ba: mu.
14 “Worthless, worthless!” says the buyer, but on the way out, he gloats.
Liligi lala masu dunu da liligi ligisisu liligi amo muni bagade ba: sea, da: i dione egasa. Be amomane, ea asili, muni fonobahadi fawane amoga lai, e da hidale sia: sa.
15 There is an abundance of gold and rubies, but lips of knowledge are a rare treasure.
Nowa da hi sia: dasu amo ea bai noga: le dawa: sea, amo hou da moloidafa amola gouli amola silifa ea lasu defei baligisa.
16 Take the garment of the one who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
Degabo ba: i dunu da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunu sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa. Amola degabo ba: i dunu da bidi bu hame iasea, bidi iasu dunu da gagaoui dunu amo ea soge lamu da defea.
17 Food gained by fraud is sweet to a man, but later his mouth is full of gravel.
Ha: i manu wamolale lai da hedaidafa gala. Be fa: no wamolasu dunu ea lafi da sa: i boso amoga nabai defele ba: mu.
18 Set plans by consultation, and wage war under sound guidance.
Mae ilegele, udigili gegemusa: mae masa. Hidadea fada: i sia: ne iasu nabasea, didi ba: mu.
19 He who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid the one who babbles with his lips.
Baligiduli sia: su dunu da sia: wamolegemu hame dawa: Sia: bagade sia: dabe dunu ilima mae gilisima.
20 Whoever curses his father or mother, his lamp will be extinguished in deepest darkness.
Dia ada amola ame ela aligima: ne gagabusia, di da gamali amo da gasia ea digagala: i haba: dosu defele bogomu.
21 An inheritance gained quickly will not be blessed in the end.
Dia muni asabole lasea, amo muni da fa: no agoane dia esalusu bagade hame fidimu.
22 Do not say, “I will avenge this evil!” Wait on the LORD, and He will save you.
Dunu da dima wadela: le hamosea, dia disu dabe mae ima. Di Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: sea, Hi fawane da amo hou hahamomu.
23 Unequal weights are detestable to the LORD, and dishonest scales are no good.
Hina Gode da nowa dunu da dioi ba: su amola defei ba: su liligi amo ogogole hamosea, ilima higa: i hodosa.
24 A man’s steps are from the LORD, so how can anyone understand his own way?
Nowa dunu da hina: esalusu logo ahoabe dawa: bela: ? E da hame dawa: Be Hina Gode Hifawane da ninia esalusu logo huluane ilegei dagoi.
25 It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly, only later to reconsider his vows.
Noga: le dadawa: lalu, Godema imunusa: ilegele sia: ma. Di da fa: no da: i diosa: besa: le, hedolo mae sia: ma.
26 A wise king separates out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.
Bagade dawa: su hina bagade dunu da wadela: i hamosu dunu hogole ba: mu. Amasea, e da ema mae asigili se imunu.
27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, searching out his inmost being.
Hina Gode da hadigi gamali agoane, ninia asigi dawa: su amola a: silibu ganodini, E da ninia hou hogosa.
28 Loving devotion and faithfulness preserve a king; by these he maintains his throne.
Hina bagade dunu da moloiwane amola asigiwane ea hawa: hamosea, e da ode bagohame ea soge ganodini hinawane esalumu.
29 The glory of young men is their strength, and gray hair is the splendor of the old.
Ninia goi ayeligi ilia gasa amo heawini mageda. Amola asigilai gago aligi dunu ilima nodone nabawane hamosa.
30 Lashes and wounds scour evil, and beatings cleanse the inmost parts.
Ninia mogili eso enoga wadela: i hou hamosea, ninia hou afadenemu gasa bagade ba: sa. Be se nabasu bagade da ninima doaga: sea, ninia hou afadenemusa: dawa:
