Proverbs 17
1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house [full] of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife.
Dunu ilia da hafoga: le gamogai agi ga: gi fawane nasea, be ilia dogo ganodini olofosu dawa: , amo dunu ilia hahawane hou da dunu ilia lolo nabe ida: iwanedafa hamosa be gilisili bidi hamosa, amo bagade baligisa.
2 A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren.
Dawa: iwane hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina ea wadela: i hamedeidafa mano amoma ouligisu agoai ba: mu. Amola ea hina da bogosea, e da ea hina nana liligi amola muni mogili lamu.
3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.
Dunu da gouli amola silifa laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, Gode da dunu ea dogo adoba: sa.
4 A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou sia: fawane nabimusa: dawa: Ogogosu dunu ilia da ogogosu sia: fawane naba.
5 He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy.
Di da hame gagui dunu ilima lasogole oufesega: sea, Gode da amo dunu hahamoiba: le, di da Godema gadesa. Di da eno dunu ilia se nabasu amo hahawane ba: sea, Gode da dima se imunu.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing.
Dunu mano ilia da ilia eda amola ame ilima nodosa. Amo defele, dunu da: i ilia da ilia aowalalima ofa: le hidale ba: le sia: sa.
7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man.
Gagaoui dunu ilia sia: da hamedei liligi agoai gala. Be dunu ilima dunu eno da nodosa, amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:
8 Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper.
Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
9 He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide [them] separates friends and kindred.
Di da dunu eno dima hahawane ba: ma: ne hanai galea, ilia dima giadofale hamosea, amo hedolowane gogolema: ne olofoma. Be wadela: i hou hame gogolema: ne olofosea, dia fi da afafai ba: mu.
10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not.
Di da noga: le dawa: su dunu ema afadafa fawane gagabole sia: sea, e da naba. Be di da gagaoui dunu ema eno sia: ne, eno sia: ne, fabe amomane, e da sia: hamedafa naba.
11 Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da lelei hou fawane hamosa. Ea bogosu da ema nimi bagade sia: adole iasu dunu agoai ba: mu.
12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.
Di da bea aseme amo ea mano da fisi, amogai doaga: sea, se nabimu. Be di da gagaoui dunu amo da ea gagaoui hou hamonana, ema doaga: sea, se bagade baligiliwane nabimu.
13 Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house.
Dunu da dima moloi hou hamosea, be di da wadela: i hou ema dabe iasea, di da eso huluane wadela: i fawane ba: lalumu.
14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.
Sia: ga gegesu mubi da hano hihiga: i bisili doasibi agoai gala. Amaiwane bu bagade hamosa: besa: le, hedolo ga: ma.
15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God.
Dilia da hame giadofai dunuma udigili se iasea, Hina Gode da bagade higasa. Amola, dilia giadofai dunuma se hame iasea, amo amolawane Hina Gode da bagade higasa.
16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.
Gagaoui dunu da osobo bagade dawa: lamusa: muni bagade galagamu da defea hame galebe. Bai e da noga: le dawa: su hameba: le.
17 Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born.
Na: iyado dunu da eso huluane ilia asigi hou olelesa. Dunu da se nabasea, na: iyado huluane da asigili, gilisili se nabimu da defea.
18 A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, [as he] also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends.
Dunu oda da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sa. Be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunusa: sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa.
19 A lover of sin rejoices in strifes;
Di da wadela: i hou hanai galea, di da bidi hamosu amola hanai gala. Di da hidale dia hou gaguia gadosea, bidi da dima doaga: mu.
20 and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs;
Nowa dunu e noga: le mae dawa: le, wadela: i sia: sia: sea, e da moloi hou hame ba: mu. E da se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
21 and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother.
Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
22 A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
Di da eso huluane hahawane esalea, olo da bagadewane hame madelamu. Be eso huluane da: i dioiwane esalea, bogosu da gebewane doaga: mu.
23 The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in [his] bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.
Molole hame fofada: su dunu da hano sulugiliwane muni laha. Amasea, moloidafa fofada: su hame ba: sa.
24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool [go] to the ends of the earth.
Dawa: su dunu da dawa: iwane hawa: hamonana. Be gagaoui dunu da udigili logo osea: i amoga ahoana.
25 A foolish son [is a cause of] anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him.
Gagaoui hou hamosu dunu mano amo ea hamobeba: le, ea ada amola ame da se bagade naba.
26 [It is] not right to punish a righteous man, nor [is it] holy to plot against righteous princes.
Moloidafa dunu ema fofada: nanu, su lamu da defea hame. Wadela: i hame hamoi dunu ema se iasea, moloidafa fofada: su hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
27 He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise.
Nowa dunu da hi hou da moloi hi dawa: , amo dunu da mae fisili udigili sia: dasu hame dawa: Asabole esalebe dunu da asigi dawa: su ea bai bagade dawa:
28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
Dunu ilia da hame sia: dasu dunu ba: sea, ilia da amo dunu da bagade dawa: su dunu agoai dawa: sa. Amola gagaoui dunu da ea lafi hame dagasea, e da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia da dawa: sa.
