< Proverbs 24 >

1 Do not be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:
Wadela: i hamobe dunu amo mae mudale ba: ma! Amola amo dunu amo bisili mae dogolegema.
2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.
Ilia asigi dawa: su ganodini da mosolamusa: fawane dawa: lala. Amola eso huluane ilia lafidili esega dunu eno amo se nabima: ne sia: daha.
3 Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
Sosogo fi ilia hou noga: le dadawa: le fifilasu da igi bai magufu fa: i noga: i agoai gala.
4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
Diasu da amo da: iya gagui amo ea sesei huluane da fedege agoane, dawa: su noga: idafa amola liligi ida: iwane gala, amoga nabai gala.
5 A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;
Noga: le dadawa: su hou da da: i hodo gasa hou baligisa.
6 for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
Amasea, gegena masunusa: gala, hidadea iligelalu masa. Amola fada: i sia: noga: le ha: ini nabalu ahoasea, dilia da ha lai ilima osa: la heda: mu agoai ba: mu.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he doesn't open his mouth in the gate.
Gagaoui dunu da dadawa: su sia: fada: ne hame dawa: Dawa: su dunu da fada: i sia: bagade sia: dasea, gagaoui dunu da amo sia: fidili mae sia: ne, ouiya: le esala.
8 One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
Di da eso huluane wadela: i hou hamomusa: ilegesea, dunu eno ilia da di da mosolasu hamosu dunu amane dawa: mu.
9 The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
Gagaoui dunu da wadela: i ilegemusa: fawane dawa: lala. Dunu mogili da dunu eno ilima gasa fili higasu hou hamosa. Dunu huluane da amaiwane dunuma higasa.
10 If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
Se nabasu bagade doaga: sea, di da gasa hame agoane hamosea, gogayeidafa dunu agoane ba: mu.
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death. Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
Fofada: su dunu da wadela: i hame hamosu dunu amo giadofale medole legemusa: dawa: sea, defea, mae ha: aligima. Amo dunu hedolo gaga: ma.
12 If you say, "Look, we did not know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
Amo hou da dia liligi hame agoane mae sia: ma. Bai Gode da dia hou dawa: , amola dia hamobe E da adoba: lala. Amola E da dia hamoi defele dima bidi imunu.
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste.
Nagofe! Di agime hano amo moma. Amo da dia gona: suga leba: le ba: sea, hedaiwane ba: sa.
14 Likewise, know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, and your hope will not be cut off.
Amo defele, molole dawa: su sia: da dia da: i hodo amola asigi dawa: su obenasa. Di da molole dawa: su lasea, hahawane esalumu.
15 Do not lie in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Do not destroy his resting place.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa dunu amo ea liligi amola ea diasu wamolamusa: ilegelala. Be di da agoane mae ilegema.
16 For the righteous may fall seven times, but gets up again, but the wicked will stumble in adversity.
Moloidafa dunu da dafasea, e da hedolo bu sinidigisa. Be se nabasu da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilima doaga: sea, e da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Do not let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
Se nabasu bagade da dia ha lai dunuma doaga: sea, mae nodoma. E da dafasea, hahawane mae ba: ma.
18 lest YHWH see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Dia ha lai dunu da se nababeba: le, di da nodosea, Hina Gode da amo hou higa: i hodosa. Amasea, e da dia ha lai ema se iasu hame ima: bela: ?
19 Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia hamobeba: le, mae da: i dioma. Amola, ilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, liligi bagade lasea, mae mudama.
20 for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
Bai ilia da hame fifi ahoanumu. Fa: no misunu hahawane hou da ilima hame doaga: mu.
21 My son, fear YHWH and the king. Do not join those who are rebellious:
Nagofe! Hina Godema beda: ne nodoma. Amola osobo bagade hina bagade amoma nabasu hou hamoma. Nowa dunu da Hina Gode o hina bagade ilima odoga: sea, ilima mae gilisima.
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both—who knows?
Agoane odoga: su dunu ilia da hedolodafa dafasu dawa: Gode amola osobo bagade hina bagade dunu da ilima se imunusa: dawa:
23 These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
Molole dawa: su dunu da amo eno sia: su sia: i. ‘Fofada: su dunu da dunu aduna elama fofa: da: sea, e da dunu afamagamu da defea hame.’
24 He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him?
E da wadela: le hamosu dunu da moloidafa sia: sea, dunu huluane da e aligima: ne gagabumu amola e higamu.
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
Be fofada: su dunu da wadela: le hamosu dunu ilima se iasea, e da hahawane ba: mu amola eno dunu da ema nodomu.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
Nowa dunu da moloidafa adole iasea, amo da eno dunuma dogeleidafa hou agoai.
27 Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
Dia diasu gaguli, fifi lamusa: dawa: sea, hidadea ifa abalegele, ha: i manu heda: sea, dia manu defele ba: sea, dia diasu gaguli, fifi laloma.
28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Do not deceive with your lips.
Dia da udigili eno dunuma mae fofada: ma. Amola bai hamedei hou amola ema ogogolewane mae fofada: ma.
29 Do not say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
Amola di amane mae sia: ma, “Na da e nama hamoi defele ema hamomu. Na da dabemu,” amane mae sia: ma.
30 I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
Na da hihi dabuli gagaoui dunu amo ea waini efe sagai amodili asi.
31 Look, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
Amo ganodini, aya: gaga: nomei amola gisi heda: i bagade bai. Amola igiga gagoi amo da mugululi sa: i dagoi ba: i.
32 Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
Amo na da ba: lalu, amola na da bu dawa: i, amola amo ea bai dawa: i dagoi.
33 a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep;
Bai di helefili golamu da defea. Dia lobo sogoba: digili fa: bihadi golama.
34 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
Be di da golai dialoba, wamolasu dunu da doagala: be defele, hame gagui hou da dima doaga: mu.
