Proverbs 26
1 Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor does not befit a fool.
Ha: i manu gamibi galu, gibu bagade da noga: i hame ba: sa. Mugi oubiga, mugene su ba: mu amola da noga: i hame ba: sa. Amo defele, gagaoui dunuma nodomu da noga: i hame ba: sa.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
Di da moloidafa hou fawane hamonanea, dunu eno da di bai hame gala aligima: ne gagabusia, di da se hame nabimu. Amo gagabusu da sio gudu mae sa: ili, gadomusu hagili lalebe agoai.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!
Di da hosi amoma dawa: ma: ne fegasuga fasa. Dougi da noga: le masa: ne, di da efe bobagele lafiga gula misisa. Amola gagaoui dunu noga: le dawa: ma: ne, famu da defea.
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him.
Di da gagaoui dunu ea udigili adole ba: su sia: , amoma bu adole iasea, di amola da gagaoui dunu agoai ba: mu.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes.
Di da gagaoui dunu ea udigili adole ba: su sia: amoma ea sia: be defele selefane sia: mu da defea. Amasea, gagaoui dunu da hi da noga: i dadawa: su hame dawa: mu.
6 Like cutting off one’s own feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool.
Di da gagaoui dunu amo ea eno dunuma sia: ne iasu logo doasisia, di da fedege agoane dia emo hedofale fasibi defele hamosa. Amola mosolasu da dima doaga: musa: manebe agoai ba: mu.
7 Like lame legs hanging limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
Emo afoi dunu da ea emoga masunu gogolei. Amo defele, gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: ea bai olemusa: hamedafa dawa:
8 Like binding a stone into a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.
Gagaoui dunuma nodone mae sia: ma. Amo hou da dia ga: muga: dadi damana gele la: gimu defele ba: sa.
9 Like a thorn that falls into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
Gagaoui dunu da malasu sia: sia: ne iasea, e da adini feloai dunu, e da aya: gaga: nomeiga ea loboa soi, hi duga: lalebe agoai ba: sa.
10 Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or passerby.
Hawa: hamoma: ne iasu dunu da mae dawa: le udigili gagaoui dunuma hawa: hamosu iasea, e da dunu huluane ilima se iaha.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
Gagaoui dunu da musa: hou yolesili, amo bu hamosea, amo hou da wa: mega hi isoi amo bu hi nabe defele hamosa.
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Nowa dunu gasa fili hina: hou da bagade hi dadawa: suyale dawa: sea, ea hou da hamedei liligi agoai. Gagaouidafa dunu ea hou da amaiwane dunu ea hou baligisa.
13 The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!”
Hihi dabuli dunu da abuliba: le ea diasu fisili, soge hame ahoabela: ? E da laione wa: me, ea gasonasa: besa: le hame ahoasa: bela: ?
14 As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
Hihi dabuli dunu da ea diaheda: su fafai amo da: iya dedenegisa diala. Ea golabe hou da logo ga: su doagale, ga: sili, doagale ga: sibi agoai gala.
15 The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
Dunu mogili da hihi dabuliba: le, ilia ha: i manu loboga lale manu higasa.
16 The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
Hihi dabuli dunu da ea dawa: su hou da molole dawa: su dunu fesuale gala, amo ilia hou hi dawa: su hou amo baligiyale hi dawa: sa.
17 Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
Sia: ga gegesu amo da dia liligi hame, amoga gilisisia, da logoga ahoana, wa: me gega gagubi defele ba: sa.
18 Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,
19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
Nowa dunu da eno dunuma ogogole sia: sea, amola fa: no amo ogogoi da ousa sia: fawane sia: sa, amo dunu da doula ahoasu dunu amo da dunu medoma: ne gala: su liligi gaguli lalebe agoai.
20 Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases.
Lalu habei hamedesea, lalu da usisa. Amola baligiduli sia: su hame galea, sia: ga gegesu hame ba: mu.
21 Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
Genosu amola lalu daba: galea, lalu da nesa. Mosolasu hamosu dunu da sia: ga gegesu wili gala: sa.
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
Dunu bagohame da baligidi sia: sia: dasu bagade hana: iba: le, hahawane nodone da: gisa.
23 Like glaze covering an earthen vessel are burning lips and a wicked heart.
Obebenama: ne ogogosu sia: da noga: i dabuagado ela: mei wadela: i osoboga hamoi ofodo amo damana ulasi agoai ba: sa.
24 A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart.
Dabua obenane hawa: hamosu dunu da dunu enoma higasa. Be e da eno dunuma dabua hahaiyafuli sia: beba: le, ea higasu hou wamolegesa.
25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.
Ea sia: da noga: i naba, be amo dafawaneyale mae dawa: ma. Bai ea dogo da dunu enoma mihanai hou, amoga nabai gala.
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
E da ea higasu asigi dawa: su wamolegemusa: dawa: Be dunu huluane da ea wadela: i hou hamobe ba: sea, ea houdafa ilia dawa: mu.
27 He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
Dunu da eno dunu sa: ima: ne sanisia, ilila: saniga ilila: sa: imu. Dunu ili banenesima: ne osobo agele sala, bu ilila: da amoga banenesi dagoi ba: mu.
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
Nowa dunu da eno dunuma higasea, e da amo dunu wadela: lesima: ne ogogole sia: sa. Obenama: ne ogogosu sia: da eno dunu wadela: lesisa.
