Proverbs 25
1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed:
Soloumone ea malasu meloa dedei eno da goe. Yuda soge hina bagade Hesigaia, amo ea sia: dedesu dunu ilia da bu dedei.
2 The glory of God [is] to hide a thing, And the glory 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 heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings—[are] 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 dross from silver, And a vessel goes forth for the refiner,
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 before a king, And his throne is 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 Do not honor yourself before a king, And do not stand in the place of the great.
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 [that] he has said to you, “Come up here,” Than [that] he humbles you before a noble, 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 Do not go forth to strive, hurry, turn, What do you do in its latter end, When your neighbor causes you to blush?
Di da dia ba: i liligi amo hedolowane mae fofada: ma. Amola dunu enoga dia sia: gufuli salasea, dia da adi hamoma: bela: ?
9 Plead your cause with your neighbor, And do not reveal the secret counsel of 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 the hearer put you to shame, And your evil report not turn back.
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 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken at its fit times.
Dawa: su noga: i amo eno dunuma dawa: ma: ne olelesea, amo da gouli dededei amo silifa bai amoma madelagilisi agoane gala.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive 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 a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And 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 Clouds and wind without rain, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.
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 A ruler is persuaded by long-suffering, And a soft tongue breaks a 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 You have found honey—eat your sufficiency, Lest you are satiated [with] it, and have vomited 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 is satiated [with] you, and has hated you.
Dia na: iyado ema fofoya sofe mae afufuma. Agoane hamosea, dia na: iyado da dia momafubi ba: i helesea, dima higamu.
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man testifying a false testimony against his neighbor.
Gasulusu sia: da gegesu gobihei bagade amola gigi amola dadi agesoi defele medosu liligi agoai ba: sa.
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, [Is] the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
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 Whoever is taking away a garment in a cold day, [Is as] vinegar on natron, And a singer of songs on a sad 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 he who is hating you hungers, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirsts, cause him to drink water.
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 are putting coals on his head, And YHWH gives repayment to you.
Amasea, e da da: i dia: ne gogosiamu. Amola Hina Gode da dima bidi imunu.
23 A north wind brings forth rain, And a secret tongue—indignant faces.
Baligidu sia: su da foga gibu mini mabe agoai, ougi hou gaguli maha.
24 Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions, and a house of company.
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 for a weary soul, So [is] a good report 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 spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, [Is] the righteous falling before the wicked.
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 The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one’s own honor—honor.
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 A city broken down without walls, [Is] a man without restraint over his spirit!
Dia mihanasu hou gumimusa: hame dawa: sea, di da gasa hame moilai bai bagade amo ea gagoi da mugululi sa: i agoai ba: sa.
