Proverbs 24
1 Do not envy wicked men or desire their company;
Wadela: i hamobe dunu amo mae mudale ba: ma! Amola amo dunu amo bisili mae dogolegema.
2 for their hearts devise violence, and their lips declare trouble.
Ilia asigi dawa: su ganodini da mosolamusa: fawane dawa: lala. Amola eso huluane ilia lafidili esega dunu eno amo se nabima: ne sia: daha.
3 By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established;
Sosogo fi ilia hou noga: le dadawa: le fifilasu da igi bai magufu fa: i noga: i agoai gala.
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.
Diasu da amo da: iya gagui amo ea sesei huluane da fedege agoane, dawa: su noga: idafa amola liligi ida: iwane gala, amoga nabai gala.
5 A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge enhances his strength.
Noga: le dadawa: su hou da da: i hodo gasa hou baligisa.
6 Only with sound guidance should you wage war, and victory lies in a multitude of counselors.
Amasea, gegena masunusa: gala, hidadea iligelalu masa. Amola fada: i sia: noga: le ha: ini nabalu ahoasea, dilia da ha lai ilima osa: la heda: mu agoai ba: mu.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the meeting place.
Gagaoui dunu da dadawa: su sia: fada: ne hame dawa: Dawa: su dunu da fada: i sia: bagade sia: dasea, gagaoui dunu da amo sia: fidili mae sia: ne, ouiya: le esala.
8 He who plots evil will be called a schemer.
Di da eso huluane wadela: i hou hamomusa: ilegesea, dunu eno ilia da di da mosolasu hamosu dunu amane dawa: mu.
9 A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.
Gagaoui dunu da wadela: i ilegemusa: fawane dawa: lala. Dunu mogili da dunu eno ilima gasa fili higasu hou hamosa. Dunu huluane da amaiwane dunuma higasa.
10 If you faint in the day of distress, how small is your strength!
Se nabasu bagade doaga: sea, di da gasa hame agoane hamosea, gogayeidafa dunu agoane ba: mu.
11 Rescue those being led away to death, and restrain those stumbling toward the slaughter.
Fofada: su dunu da wadela: i hame hamosu dunu amo giadofale medole legemusa: dawa: sea, defea, mae ha: aligima. Amo dunu hedolo gaga: ma.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?
Amo hou da dia liligi hame agoane mae sia: ma. Bai Gode da dia hou dawa: , amola dia hamobe E da adoba: lala. Amola E da dia hamoi defele dima bidi imunu.
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.
Nagofe! Di agime hano amo moma. Amo da dia gona: suga leba: le ba: sea, hedaiwane ba: sa.
14 Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.
Amo defele, molole dawa: su sia: da dia da: i hodo amola asigi dawa: su obenasa. Di da molole dawa: su lasea, hahawane esalumu.
15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa dunu amo ea liligi amola ea diasu wamolamusa: ilegelala. Be di da agoane mae ilegema.
16 For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.
Moloidafa dunu da dafasea, e da hedolo bu sinidigisa. Be se nabasu da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilima doaga: sea, e da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,
Se nabasu bagade da dia ha lai dunuma doaga: sea, mae nodoma. E da dafasea, hahawane mae ba: ma.
18 or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.
Dia ha lai dunu da se nababeba: le, di da nodosea, Hina Gode da amo hou higa: i hodosa. Amasea, e da dia ha lai ema se iasu hame ima: bela: ?
19 Do not fret over evildoers, and do not be envious of the wicked.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia hamobeba: le, mae da: i dioma. Amola, ilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, liligi bagade lasea, mae mudama.
20 For the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
Bai ilia da hame fifi ahoanumu. Fa: no misunu hahawane hou da ilima hame doaga: mu.
21 My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.
Nagofe! Hina Godema beda: ne nodoma. Amola osobo bagade hina bagade amoma nabasu hou hamoma. Nowa dunu da Hina Gode o hina bagade ilima odoga: sea, ilima mae gilisima.
22 For they will bring sudden destruction. Who knows what ruin they can bring?
Agoane odoga: su dunu ilia da hedolodafa dafasu dawa: Gode amola osobo bagade hina bagade dunu da ilima se imunusa: dawa:
23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
Molole dawa: su dunu da amo eno sia: su sia: i. ‘Fofada: su dunu da dunu aduna elama fofa: da: sea, e da dunu afamagamu da defea hame.’
24 Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”— peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;
E da wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa sia: sea, dunu huluane da e aligima: ne gagabumu amola e higamu.
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.
Be fofada: su dunu da wadela: le hamosu dunu ilima se iasea, e da hahawane ba: mu amola eno dunu da ema nodomu.
26 An honest answer given is like a kiss on the lips.
Nowa dunu da moloidafa adole iasea, amo da eno dunuma dogeleidafa hou agoai.
27 Complete your outdoor work and prepare your field; after that, you may build your house.
Dia diasu gaguli, fifi lamusa: dawa: sea, hidadea ifa abalegele, ha: i manu heda: sea, dia manu defele ba: sea, dia diasu gaguli, fifi laloma.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
Dia da udigili eno dunuma mae fofada: ma. Amola bai hamedei hou amola ema ogogolewane mae fofada: ma.
29 Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”
Amola di amane mae sia: ma, “Na da e nama hamoi defele ema hamomu. Na da dabemu,” amane mae sia: ma.
30 I went past the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking judgment.
Na da hihi dabuli gagaoui dunu amo ea waini efe sagai amodili asi.
31 Thorns had grown up everywhere, thistles had covered the ground, and the stone wall was broken down.
Amo ganodini, aya: gaga: nomei amola gisi heda: i bagade bai. Amola igiga gagoi amo da mugululi sa: i dagoi ba: i.
32 I observed and took it to heart; I looked and received instruction:
Amo na da ba: lalu, amola na da bu dawa: i, amola amo ea bai dawa: i dagoi.
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
Bai di helefili golamu da defea. Dia lobo sogoba: digili fa: bihadi golama.
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
Be di da golai dialoba, wamolasu dunu da doagala: be defele, hame gagui hou da dima doaga: mu.
