Proverbs 25
1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
Soloumone ea malasu meloa dedei eno da goe. Yuda soge hina bagade Hesigaia, amo ea sia: dedesu dunu ilia da bu dedei.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
Gode da hou oda wamolegebeba: le, ninia da Ema nodone dawa: sa. Be hina bagade da hou huluane mae wamolegele ninima olelebeba: le fawane, ilima nodone dawa: sa.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
Hina bagade dunu ea dawa: su da ninia dawa: mu hamedeidafa. Be ea dawa: su da gadodafa amola hano wayabo lugudu gududafa agoai gala.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
Dilia da silifa amoga nigima: dialebe amo dodofele fasisia, noga: le momadobe dunu ea liligi amo noga: le nina: hahamonesisu dawa:
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
Wadela: i fada: i sia: su dunu da hina bagade ea hou wadela: sa. Be amo dunu fadegale fasisia, hina bagade da ea fi noga: le ouligimu.
6 Put not forth yourself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
Di da hina bagade amo ba: la masea, di da asabole fonoboi dunu agoai ba: mu da defea. Di da mimogo gasa bagade ba: ma: ne mae ogogoma.
7 For better it is that it be said to you, Come up here; than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince whom your eyes have seen.
Dunu ilia da di fa: no aligi sogebi fisili, bisili aligi sogebi amoga heda: ma: ne sia: mu da defea. Be ilia dima bisili aligi sogebi amo fisili, gudu sa: ili, fa: no aligi sogebi masa: ne sia: sea, di da gogosiamu.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest you know not what to do in the end thereof, when your neighbor has put you to shame.
Di da dia ba: i liligi amo hedolowane mae fofada: ma. Amola dunu enoga dia sia: gufuli salasea, dia da adi hamoma: bela: ?
9 Debate your cause with your neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another:
Dia na: iyado alia da: i dioi amo sia: dasea, alisudafa olofole ado sa: ima. Amola amo sia: dunu enoma mae adole ima.
10 Lest he that hears it put you to shame, and your infamy turn not away.
Di da amo sia: hame wamolegesea, dunu eno huluane da dawa: digili, sia: da bagade heda: mu amola di da sia: ouligisu hou hame dawa: ilia dawa: mu. Amasea, di da mae fisili, gogosiane esalumu.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Dawa: su noga: i amo eno dunuma dawa: ma: ne olelesea, amo da gouli dededei amo silifa bai amoma madelagilisi agoane gala.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover on an obedient ear.
Noga: le dawa: su dunu da nabimusa: hanai dunu amoma sisane sia: sea, amo hou da noga: idafaba: le, gegagulu gouliga hahamoi amo baligisa.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
Asunasisu dunu da sia: noga: le alofele iasu dunu ea hou amo hano nanu anegagi hisi agoai ba: sa.
14 Whoever boasts himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
Nowa dunu da udigili liligi imunusa: sia: sea be hame iasea, e da fo amola mobi gilisili mabe agoai, be gibu da dabe hame ba: sa.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaks the bone.
Di da noga: le gebe dadawa: le sia: sea, dunu da musa: gelalu, ilia hou bu afadenene, bu dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Hina bagade dunu amolawane da dia sia: dafawaneyale dawa: mu.
16 Have you found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for you, lest you be filled therewith, and vomit it.
Di da agime ea hano dosogele mae moma. Be di da dosogele nasea, di da isomu.
17 Withdraw your foot from your neighbor’s house; lest he be weary of you, and so hate you.
Dia na: iyado ema fofoya sofe mae afufuma. Agoane hamosea, dia na: iyado da dia momafubi ba: i helesea, dima higamu.
18 A man that bears false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
Gasulusu sia: da gegesu gobihei bagade amola gigi amola dadi agesoi defele medosu liligi agoai ba: sa.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
Didili hame hamosu dunu da se nabasu doaga: sea, e da dunu eno noga: le hame fidisa. Be di da didili hame hamosu dunu da di noga: le fidimu amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo da bese wagoi amoga ha: i nabe amola emo gasuga: igi amoga ahoabe agoai ba: sa.
20 As he that takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar on nitre, so is he that singes songs to an heavy heart.
Di da da: i dioi nabasu dunu ema gesami hea: le gala: sea, e da se nabimu. Di da asugi esala lalu houlalebe dunu ema anegagi esoga ea abula gisa: le, o dunu ea fa: gi da: iya sali legesea, seselebe, amo hou defele ba: sa.
21 If your enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
Dia ha lai dunu da ha: i galea, ha: i manu ima. Amola e hano hanai galea, hano moma: ne ema dili ima.
22 For you shall heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD shall reward you.
Amasea, e da da: i dia: ne gogosiamu. Amola Hina Gode da dima bidi imunu.
23 The north wind drives away rain: so does an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
Baligidu sia: su da foga gibu mini mabe agoai, ougi hou gaguli maha.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
Dunu e da gesa: gesa: i udala gilisili fimu da gasa bagade. Dunu hisu diasu dabua mogoa gado fifi lamu amo ea hou da amo baligisa.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Sia: ida: iwane gala soge sedaga ganini maha da mage hafoga: iba: le hano nanu anegagi hisi agoai ba: sa.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
Moloidafa dunu da dafane, wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia sia: nabasea, amo hou da gu hano ubagei amola hano nasu ulidou ganodini hai amo agoai ba: sa.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
Agime hano dosogele nasea, di da dia hou wadela: lesimu. Amola di da dunu enoga dia hou ofa: ma: ne hogoi helesea, amo da dia hou wadela: lesimu.
28 He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Dia mihanasu hou gumimusa: hame dawa: sea, di da gasa hame moilai bai bagade amo ea gagoi da mugululi sa: i agoai ba: sa.
