Proverbs 17
1 Better [is] a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of 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 rules over a son causing shame, And he apportions an inheritance in the midst of brothers.
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 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts [is] YHWH.
Dunu da gouli amola silifa laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, Gode da dunu ea dogo adoba: sa.
4 An evildoer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou sia: fawane nabimusa: dawa: Ogogosu dunu ilia da ogogosu sia: fawane naba.
5 Whoever is mocking at the poor Has reproached his Maker, Whoever is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.
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 Sons’ sons [are] the crown of old men, And the glory of sons [are] their fathers.
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 A lip of excellence is not fitting for a fool, much less a lip of falsehood for a noble.
Gagaoui dunu ilia sia: da hamedei liligi agoai gala. Be dunu ilima dunu eno da nodosa, amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:
8 A stone of grace [is] the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Wherever it turns, it prospers.
Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
9 Whoever is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoever is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.
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 Rebuke comes down on the intelligent More than one hundred stripes on a fool.
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 An evil man seeks only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da lelei hou fawane hamosa. Ea bogosu da ema nimi bagade sia: adole iasu dunu agoai ba: mu.
12 The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And—not a fool in his folly.
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 Whoever is returning evil for good, Evil does not move 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 The beginning of contention [is] a letting out of waters, And leave the strife before it is meddled with.
Sia: ga gegesu mubi da hano hihiga: i bisili doasibi agoai gala. Amaiwane bu bagade hamosa: besa: le, hedolo ga: ma.
15 Whoever is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these [are] an abomination to YHWH.
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 [is] this—a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart—there is none?
Gagaoui dunu da osobo bagade dawa: lamusa: muni bagade galagamu da defea hame galebe. Bai e da noga: le dawa: su hameba: le.
17 The friend is loving at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
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 man lacking heart is striking hands, He becomes a guarantor before his friend.
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 Whoever is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoever is making his entrance high is seeking destruction.
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 The perverse of heart does not find good, And the [one] turned in his tongue falls into evil.
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 Whoever is begetting a fool has affliction for it, Indeed, the father of a fool does not rejoice.
Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
22 A rejoicing heart does good to the body, And a struck spirit dries the bone.
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 wicked takes a bribe from the bosom, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
Molole hame fofada: su dunu da hano sulugiliwane muni laha. Amasea, moloidafa fofada: su hame ba: sa.
24 The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool—at the end 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 provocation to his father, And bitterness to her bearing him.
Gagaoui hou hamosu dunu mano amo ea hamobeba: le, ea ada amola ame da se bagade naba.
26 Also, [it] is not good to fine the righteous, To strike nobles for uprightness.
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 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding.
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 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips [seems] intelligent!
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.
