< Proverbs 28 >
1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da dunu eno ili hame sefasibi amomane hobeasa. Be moloidafa dunu da laione wa: me agoane hame beda: sa.
2 A land in rebellion has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.
Fifi asi gala da wadela: le hamosea, ilia hina bagade da mae aligili hedolo afafadenesa. Be molole dawa: su hina bagade da fifi asi gala noga: le ouligisia, ilia da gasalawane esalumu.
3 A destitute leader who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no food.
Gibu da foga oule masea, ha: i manu sagai da muagia: sa. Amo defele, nimi bagade ouligisu dunu da hame gagui dunu wadela: sa.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them.
Di da sema nabawane hame hamosea, di da wadela: le hamosu dunu amolalimagale hamosa. Be di da noga: le nabasea, di da amolalima hame gasa.
5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD comprehend fully.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa fofada: su hou hame dawa: Be nowa da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosea, da amo hou noga: le dawa:
6 Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
Di da liligi hame gaguiwane, be moloidafa hou hamonanumu da defea. Be bagade gaguiwane, be moloi hame hamosa esalumu da defea hame.
7 A discerning son keeps the law, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
Goi ayeligi da sema noga: le nabasea da bagade dawa: su dunu agoai esala. Be dunu da wiwili gala: su dunu ilima gilisisia, da ea edama gogosiasu iaha.
8 He who increases his wealth by interest and usury lays it up for one who is kind to the poor.
Dia da muni molole hame lasea, o dabua baligili legebeba: le, bagade gagui ba: sea, fa: no dia muni huluane da fisi dagoi ba: mu. Haeafui dunu da amo muni lale, hame gagui dunuma imunu.
9 Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable.
Di da Gode Ea sema higasea, Gode da dia sia: ne gadosu nabimu amola higamu.
10 He who leads the upright along the path of evil will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.
Di da moloidafa dunuma ogogobeba: le, e da wadela: le hamosea, amo da sani agoane. Be di da dina: saniga sa: imu. Be Gode da moloidafa dunuma bidi imunu.
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man with discernment sees through him.
Liligi bagade gagui dunu da gasa fili, ili da noga: i dawa: su bagadeyale ilila: dawa: lala. Be liligi hame gagui molole dawa: su dunu, ilia liligi bagade gagui dunu ilia giadofabe asigi dawa: su hou noga: le dawa:
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
Moloidafa dunu da ouligisu hou lasea, dunu huluane da nodone gilisili ha: i naha. Be wadela: le hamosu dunu da ouligisu hou lasea, eno dunu da hobeale wamoaligisa.
13 He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.
Di da dia wadela: i hamoi amo wamolegesea, di da hahawane hame esalumu. Be dia wadela: i hou amo fofada: ne, sinidigisia, Gode da dima gogolema: ne olofomu.
14 Blessed is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
Eso huluane Hina Godema nabasu hou hamosea, di da hahawane ba: mu. Be di da hihini gasa fili hamosea, dia hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
Wadela: le hamosu ouligisu dunu da nimi bagade gesenenanebe laione wa: me o gogoli ahoanebe ‘bea’ agoane. Agoaiwane dunu da dunu fi ouligisia, hame gagui dunu da gasa hameba: le, se nabala.
16 A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.
Ouligisu dunu da dawa: su noga: i hame galea, e da ea fi ilima gasa fili, nimi bagadewane ouligimu. Be moloidafa ouligisu dunu da ode bagohame ea fi ouligimu.
17 A man burdened by bloodguilt will flee into the Pit; let no one support him.
Nowa dunu da fane legesu hou hamosea, e da fedege agoane hina: bogoi uli dogosa. Amaiba: le, amo logo di mae hedofama.
18 He who walks with integrity will be kept safe, but whoever is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.
Di da moloidafa hou hamosea, dia esalusu da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Be di da hou moloi hame hamosea, hedolo dafamu.
19 The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
Dogolole bugili nasu dunu da ha: i manu gilisi ba: sa. Be dunu da mae hawa: hamone, udigili esalea, ha: bagade ba: mu.
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but one eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
Moloidafa dunu da hahawane ganumu. Be nowa da hedolodafa bagade gaguiwane esalomusa: dawa: sea da se dabe iasu ba: mu.
21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
Afamagasu hou da wadela: idafa. Be wadela: i fofada: su dunu da hano suligisu lasea, hedolowane afamagasa.
22 A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty awaits him.
Uasu dunu da hedolowane liligi bagade lamusa: dawa: beba: le, e da fa: no liligi hame gaguiwane esalumu amo hi hame dawa: sa.
23 He who rebukes a man will later find more favor than one who flatters with his tongue.
Mae wamolegele, hima hou hahamoma: ne gagabole odagia sia: mu da defea. Agoane hame hamosea, di da ema hame asigisa. E da se lamu be fa: no amo sia: da dabua hahaeafuli sia: baligisa dawa: mu.
24 He who robs his father or mother, saying, “It is not wrong,” is a companion to the man who destroys.
Nowa dunu da ea ada amola ame amo elea liligi wamolasea, amo ea hou da gugunufinisisu dunu ea hou defele gala.
25 A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
Uasu hou hamosea, fa: no bidi doaga: mu. Be di da Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: mu da defea.
26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.
Di da dia hanai amoga fawane fa: no bobogesea, amo da gagaoui hou agoai galebe. Be noga: le dawa: su dunu ilia olelesuma fa: no bobogesea, di da gaga: i ba: mu.
27 Whoever gives to the poor will not be in need, but he who hides his eyes will receive many curses.
Dia liligi amo hame gagui dunu iligili iasea, di da eso huluane dia esaloma: ne lamu liligi defele ganabe ba: mu. Be di da hame gagui dunu, ilima hame asigi agoai lalea, dunu bagohame ilia da di gagabui aligima: ne sia: mu.
28 When the wicked come to power, people hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous flourish.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da ouligisu hou lasea, ea fi dunu da ilia wamo aligisu soge hame yolesisa. Be wadela: le ouligisu dunu da dafasea, moloidafa dunu da ilia fi bu ouligimu.
