Proverbs 18
1 Whoever has a will to withdraw from a friend, seeks occasions; he shall be reproached at all times.
Dunu nowa da hina: hou gasa fiyale dawa: sea, ilia da eno dunuma hame dogolegesa. Amola hou amo da dunu huluane da moloidafa dawa: , ilia da amoma gagayei agoai ba: sa.
2 The foolish do not accept words of prudence, unless you say what is already turning in his heart.
Gagaoui dunu da noga: le dawa: mu hihisa. E da hi dawa: su fawane noga: iyale dawa: le, eno dunuma olelesa.
3 The impious, when he has arrived within the depths of sin, thinks little of it. But ill repute and disgrace follow him.
Wadela: i hou ea dabe da gogosiasu. Di da dia noga: i hou fisisia, dunu eno ilia dia hou hihi ba: mu.
4 Words from the mouth of a man are deep waters. And the fountain of wisdom is a torrent overflowing.
Dunu ida: iwane gala amo ea sia: ganodini hahawane dawa: su ba: mu. Fedege sia: , amo da hano wayabo bagade ea lugudu amola hano nawa: li ida: iwane agoai gala.
5 It is not good to accept the character of the impious, so as to turn away from true judgment.
Moloidafa hamosu dunu ilima fofada: nanu, se imunu da defea hame. Be wadela: i hamosu ilima fofada: nanu, se hame imunu, amo amolawane da defea hame.
6 The lips of the foolish meddle in disputes. And his mouth provokes conflicts.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: ga gegesu hemosea, e da enoga e fama: ne logo doasisa.
7 The mouth of the foolish is his destruction, and his own lips are the ruin of his soul.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: sia: sea, e da hi gobele fawane wadela: sa. E da hina: sia: amoga fawane e da hina: saniga daha.
8 The words of the double-tongued seem simple. And they reach even to the interior of the gut. Fear casts down the lazy, but the souls of the effeminate shall go hungry.
Baligiduli sia: su da hedaidafa. Osobo bagade dunu da amo da: gimusa: hanai gala.
9 Whoever is dissolute and slack in his work is the brother of him who wastes his own works.
Hihi dabuli dunu ea hou da liligi wadela: su dunu amo ea hou defele ba: sa.
10 The name of the Lord is a very strong tower. The just one rushes to it, and he shall be exalted.
Hina Gode da gasa bagade diasu gado gagagula heda: i agoane ba: sa. Moloidafa dunu da amoga asili, gagili sali dagoi ba: sa.
11 The substance of the wealthy is the city of his strength, and it is like a strong wall encircling him.
Be bagade gagui dunu da amo mae dawa: le, ilia muni gagui amo da ili gagili sali agoane dawa: sa. Ilia muni da gagoi gado gagagula heda: i, amo moilai bai bagade sisiga: sa, ilia gagui da agoaiwane gala, ilia dadawa: sa.
12 The heart of a man is exalted before it is crushed and humbled before it is glorified.
Dunu eno da asaboi dunu ilima fawane nodosa. Be gasa fi dunu da hedolowane dafamu.
13 Whoever responds before he listens, demonstrates himself to be foolish and deserving of confusion.
Hidadea lalabolalu, fa: no fawane sia: ma. Dia amane hame hamosea, di da gagaoui agoane amola gadesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
14 The spirit of a man sustains his weakness. Yet who can sustain a spirit that is easily angered?
Di da esalumu hanai galea, dia oloi da uhimu. Be di da amane hame dawa: sea, dia dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu da asi dagoi ba: mu?
15 A prudent heart shall possess knowledge. And the ear of the wise seeks doctrine.
Bagade dawa: su dunu da dawa: su eno lamu bagade hanai amola eno dawa: ma: ne momagele esala.
16 A man’s gift expands his way and makes space for him before leaders.
Di da mimogo dunu gousa: musa: dawa: bela: ? Defea! Hahawane dogolegele iasu ema ianu, e gousa: ma.
17 The just is the first accuser of himself; his friend arrives and shall investigate him.
Dunu da bisili fofada: sea, ea sia: be amo nabasea, ea hou da moloidafa amo dunu ilia dawa: sa. Be gesu dunu da ema adole ba: sea, asigi dawa: su eno da doaga: sa.
18 Casting a lot suppresses contentions and passes judgment, even among the powerful.
Gasa bagade dunu aduna da fofada: su diasu ganodini fofada: sea, ela molole ba: sea, ele da ululuale hedele, afae da baligi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, amo hou da hahamoi dagoi ba: mu.
19 A brother who is helped by a brother is like a reinforced city, and judgments are like the bars of cities.
Dia na: iyado amo noga: le fidima. Amasea, e da moilai bai bagade gasa bagade gagoi amo defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia da ema sia: ga gegesea, e da logo ga: i dagoi defele, di higamu.
20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be filled. And the harvest of his own lips shall satisfy him.
Dunu ilia liligi sagai amo defele ha: i manu lasa. Amola ilia sia: amo defele hodo doaga: sa.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Whoever values it shall eat from its fruits.
Di sia: be amo da esalusu logo amola bogosu logo hamosu gala. Dia sia: be amo da bogosu logo doasisa: besa: le, dawa: iwane sia: ma.
22 He who has found a good wife has found goodness, and he shall draw contentment from the Lord. He who expels a good wife expels goodness. But he who holds on to an adulteress is foolish and impious.
Uda hogole ba: sea, liligi noga: i ba: mu. Hina Gode da dima asigiba: le, uda noga: iwane dima iaha.
23 The poor will speak with supplications. And the rich will express themselves roughly.
Hame gagui dunu da asaboiwane adole ba: sa e fidima: ne, be bagade gagui dunu da gasa fiwane sia: sa.
24 A man amiable to society shall be more friendly than a brother.
Dunu mogili da dogolegei gilisi gala amo da hedolowane dafamu. Be dogolegei na: iyado afae ea mae fisili asigi hou da yolala eyala elea asigi hou baligisa.
