Proverbs 22
1 A good reputation is a much better choice than plenty of money; respect is better than silver and gold.
Hou aduna gala. Afae da di da moloi hou hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa. Eno da di da bagade gagusu dunu agoai ba: mu. Di da moloi hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa, amo logoga masa: ne ilegema.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord created them all.
Bagade gagui dunu amola hame gagui dunu, ela da hisu hisu. Be hou afadafa da defele. Amo da Hina Gode da ela defele Hi hamoi.
3 If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and pay for it.
Molole dawa: su dunu da mosolasu mabe noga: le ba: sa, amola amo fisima: ne noga: le gagagulasa. Be noga: le hame dawa: su dunu da mosolasu amo ganodini ahoa, amola fa: no e da bagade gogosiane da: i diosa.
4 The reward you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, and life.
Hina Godema nabasu hou hamoma, amola gasa fi hou mae hamoma. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu, dunu eno da dima nodomu, amola di da ode bagohame esalumu.
5 Thorns and traps lie in the path of crooked people; those who value their lives will stay away from them.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da esalusu logoga ahoasea, sani bagohame ba: sa. Di da dia esalusu amoma asigi galea, amo saniga dasa: besa: le, segasa: ima.
6 Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they'll go on doing so.
Dia mano da moloiwane esaloma: ne, ema hou noga: le olelema. Amasea, e da amo hou mae gogolele, ea bogosu amoga doaga: mu.
7 The rich rule the poor, and borrowers are slaves to their lenders.
Hame gagui dunu da bagade gagui dunu ilia bidi mae lale udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai galebe. Nowa dunu da enoma muni bu imunusa: lasea, e da amo muni iasu dunu amo ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esala.
8 Those who sow injustice will reap disaster, and the angry beatings they inflict on others will be stopped.
Di da moloi hame hou, hawa: agoane sagasea, se nabasu da sono agoane heda: le, se nabasu da gamibi agoai ba: mu. Amola amo sagai da hame dialumu.
9 If you're generous, you'll be blessed, for you share your food with those in need.
Di da mae hihini, dia ha: i manu mogili hame gagui dunuma iasea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
10 Get rid of the scornful, and you'll get rid of conflict too—no more arguments or insults!
Dilia gasa fi dunu sefasima. Amasea, dilia da sia: ga gegesu amola dunu eno ilia dio amoma lasagole sia: su, amo bu hame ba: mu.
11 Anyone who loves sincerity and a gracious way of speaking will have the king as their friend.
Nowa da hadigi ida: iwane asigi dawa: su amo hanai galea, amola asigidafa sia: hanai galea, amo dunuma hina bagade da dogolegemu.
12 The Lord watches over true knowledge, but counteracts the words of liars.
Hina Gode da dafawane sia: momagele legesa. Be E da ogogosu dunu ilia sia: wadela: lesisa.
13 Lazy people make claims like, “There's a lion outside! I might be killed if I go out there!”
Hihi dabuli dunu e da eso huluane diasu ganodini fawane esala. E da amane sia: sa, “Na da gadili ahoasea, laione wa: me da na medole legemu galebe!”
14 The seductive words of an immoral woman are a dangerous trap—if the Lord's angry with you, then you'll fall right in.
Inia uda adole lasu hou da sani agoane diala. Hina Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ilima ougi bagade gala, amola agoai dunu da amo saniga hedolo sa: imu.
15 Children are naturally foolish; physical correction helps them to see sense.
Mano huluane da dawa: hamedene, udigili hou hamonana. Be ili fada: i dawa: ma: ne fasea da ilia hou bu hahamomu.
16 If you oppress the poor to make yourself rich, or if you're generous to the rich, you'll end up poor yourself.
Dia udigili iasu amo bagade gagui dunuma iasea, o di bagade gaguma: ne hame gagui dunu ilia liligi lasea, amola ilima banenesisia, di amola da fa: no hame gagui dunu agoai ba: mu.
17 Pay attention and listen to the words of the wise, and think carefully about my teachings—
Nabima! Amasea, na da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia olelebe amo dima olelemu. Ilia olelebe amo noga: le hogoi helema.
18 for it's good to keep them in mind so you can be ready to share them.
Amola di da amo olelebe noga: le dawa: sea, amola eno dunuma olelemusa: dawa: sea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
19 I'm explaining this to you today so you can trust in the Lord—yes, you!
Na da amo olelebe wali dima olelemu. Bai di noga: le nabalu, Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: mu, amo na da hanai galebe.
20 Haven't I written down for you thirty sayings of advice and wisdom?
Na da dima olelema: ne, sia: 30 agoane dedei dagoi. Amo sia: ganodini dawa: ma: ne sia: , sisasu sia: amola fada: i sia: da dedei dagoi.
21 They are to make it clear to you what's right and true, so you can give a truthful explanation to those who sent you.
Amo sia: da dima dafawanedafa hou olelemu. Amasea, di da enoga dafawane hou hogoi helema: ne asunasisia, di da amo ea bai bu gaguli misunu.
22 For you shouldn't steal from the poor just because they're poor; and you shouldn't crush those with limited means in court,
Hame gagui dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia hou mae banenesima. Amola asaboi gasa hame dunu ilima fofada: sea, ilia hou mae banenesima.
23 for the Lord will plead their case, and he will take back whatever was stolen from them.
Bai Hina Gode da ili fidima: ne ilimagale fofada: mu. Amola nowa dunu da amo asaboi hame gagui dunu ilima beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: sea, Hina Gode da amo dunu beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: mu.
24 Don't make friends with someone who gets upset easily; don't associate with angry people,
Dilia gasa fi nimi bagade dunu amo maedafa dogolegema.
25 in case you learn to be like them and make a mess of your life.
Di da amaiwane hou lasa: besa: le amola dia hou bu afadenemu hamedeiwane ba: sa: besa: le amo maedafa dogolegema.
26 Don't shake hands and guarantee someone's debt,
Dunu eno da liligi lale bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, di da ea udigili lai amo dabe imunusa: mae sia: ma
27 for if you can't pay, why should your bed be taken away from beneath you?
Di da fa: no amo dabe imunu da hamedei ba: sea, se nabimu. Amola ilia dia liligi huluane amola dia diaheda: su amolawane, amo dabeyale lamu.
28 Don't move ancient boundary markers that your forefathers put in place.
Musa: fi dunu ilia soge alalo ilegesu, amo maedafa gua: ma.
29 If you see someone skilled in what they do, they'll work for kings and not for ordinary people.
Nowa dunu da noga: idafa hawa: hamosu hamosea, e da dunu oda bagohame ilia hou baligisa. Amola e da hina bagade dunu ilima gilisimu defele ba: sa.
