Proverbs 27
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
Aya hamomu hou amo mae gaguia gadole hidale ilegema. Be di da fa: no misunu hou hame dawa:
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth— a stranger, and not your own lips.
Eno dunu amola degabo ba: i dunu da dima nodone ofa: mu da defea. Be di da dina: maedafa ofa: ma.
3 A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.
Igi amola boso amola da dioi bagade. Be gagaoui dunu ea mosolasu hamoi da amo dioi baligisa.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
Udigili mi hanai hou da dodona: gi amola dunu eno wadela: lesisa. Be mudasu hou da dunu eno baligili wadela: lesisa.
5 Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.
Di da dunu eno ea hou afadenema: ne gagabole sia: musa: dawa: sea, mae wamolegele, hima odagia sia: mu da defea. Agoane hame hamosea, di da ema hame asigisa e da dawa: mu.
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Dia dogolegei da di fidima: ne, dima odagia sia: sea, se iaha. Be dima ha lai dunu da dima nonogole, asigiwane sia: sea, dawa: ma: i!
7 The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.
Di da ha: i mai amo sadisia da agime hano hedai ha: i manu higasa. Be di da ha: i bagadedafa ba: sea, ha: i manu gamogai da hedai ba: sa.
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.
Dunu hina: fifilasu yolesili udigili lalebe ea hou da sio ea musugai amo da: iya mae diaheda: le, fisili asi agoai gala.
9 Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
Susuligi amola gabusiga: na manoma ulasea da dia da: i noga: le hisisa. Be dima bidi hamosu doaga: sea, dia asigi dawa: su noga: i da dafane goudane fofonoboi agoai ba: sa.
10 Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
Dia dogolegei amola dia ada ea dogolegei dunu amo mae gogolema. Mosolasu da dima doaga: sea, dia oladafa amo ea fidima: ne mae adole ba: ma. Be dia na: iyado, di gadenene esalebe, amo ea da di noga: le fidimu. Be dia oladafa da badiliadafaba: le, di noga: le hame fidimu.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me.
Na mano, dawa: su noga: i lama! Amasea, na da hahawane ba: mu. Amola dunu eno da nama gadele sia: sea, na da ilima adole imunusa: dawa: mu.
12 The prudent see danger and take cover; but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
Noga: le molole dawa: su dunu ilia da bidi doaga: su manebe hedolo ba: sa, amola gaga: sa. Be noga: le hame dawa: su dunu da amo bidi doaga: su amo noga: le hame ba: beba: le, amodili ahoa. Amola fa: no e da bu da: i dione dawa: sa.
13 Take the garment of him 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.
14 If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.
Di da dia dogolegei amo hahabe golai dialebe amo nedigima: ne ha: giniwane halaga: la: sea, e da fofogadigili se nabimu. Amo hou da ema gagabusu aligima: ne agoai ba: sa.
15 A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
Uda gesa: gesa: i ea hou da gibu dasea dadadibi agoai ba: sa.
16 restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
Di da gesa: gesa: i uda ea hou habodane ouiya: ma: ne sia: ma: bela: ? Dia loboga fo mabe gagumusa: dawa: bela: ? Dia loboga susuligi usuna gagumusa: dawa: bela: ?
17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Ouli aduna ele degenana mebe agoai gala. Amo defele, dunu aduna da gilisili sia: dasea, ela galu dawa: lasa.
18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
Figi ifa noga: le ouligisia, di da figi fage manu galebe. Hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina dunu noga: le ouligisia, hina dunu da e nodone ouligimu.
19 As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.
Di da hanoa gudu ba: le gudusia, dina: baba ba: sa. Amola dia dogo ba: sea, dia asigi dawa: su houdafa ba: sa.
Bogosu soge da hamedafa nabamu. Amaiwane, osobo bagade dunu da liligi hanai gala. Amola sadimu hame dawa: (Sheol h7585)
21 A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
Dunu da gouli amola silifa amola laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, dunu ilia da eno dunu ea hou adoba: sa.
22 Though you grind a fool like grain with mortar and a pestle, yet his folly will not depart from him.
Di da gagaoui dunu fanana, fanana, e bogomu gadenesea fawane fisisa, be ea gagaoui hou fadegale fasimu hamedei agoane ba: mu.
23 Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds;
Dia sibi amola bulamagau noga: le dawa: le ouligima.
24 for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation.
Bai liligi gagui hou da ebelemu. Amola fifi asi gala huluane da dagomusa: dawa: la.
25 When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered,
Di da bulamagau ha: i manu gisi bugi amo huluane none dagosea, eno gisi da heda: sea, gisi amo da agolo la: idi gala nosa.
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
Di da sibi ilia hinaboga, abula amunimu amola goudi bidi lale, muni lai amoga soge eno bidi lamu.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you— food for your household and nourishment for your maidservants.
Amola goudi eno hame bidi lai lelebe, amoga di da dodo maga: me dia sosogo fi amola dia hawa: hamosu a: fini huluane defele moma: ne dimusa: dawa: mu.
