Proverbs 18
1 A man seeketh, for satisfaction, going his own way, through all safe counsel, he breaketh.
Dunu nowa da hina: hou gasa fiyale dawa: sea, ilia da eno dunuma hame dogolegesa. Amola hou amo da dunu huluane da moloidafa dawa: , ilia da amoma gagayei agoai ba: sa.
2 A dullard, delighteth not, in understanding, in nothing save the exposing of his own heart.
Gagaoui dunu da noga: le dawa: mu hihisa. E da hi dawa: su fawane noga: iyale dawa: le, eno dunuma olelesa.
3 When the lawless man cometh in, then cometh also contempt, and, with shame, reproach.
Wadela: i hou ea dabe da gogosiasu. Di da dia noga: i hou fisisia, dunu eno ilia dia hou hihi ba: mu.
4 Deep waters, are the words of a man’s mouth, —a bubbling brook, the well-spring of wisdom.
Dunu ida: iwane gala amo ea sia: ganodini hahawane dawa: su ba: mu. Fedege sia: , amo da hano wayabo bagade ea lugudu amola hano nawa: li ida: iwane agoai gala.
5 To prefer a lawless man, is not good, thrusting away the righteous, in judgment.
Moloidafa hamosu dunu ilima fofada: nanu, se imunu da defea hame. Be wadela: i hamosu ilima fofada: nanu, se hame imunu, amo amolawane da defea hame.
6 the lips of a dullard, enter into contention, and his mouth, for blows, crieth out.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: ga gegesu hemosea, e da enoga e fama: ne logo doasisa.
7 The mouth of a dullard, is his ruin, and, his lips, are a snare to his soul.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: sia: sea, e da hi gobele fawane wadela: sa. E da hina: sia: amoga fawane e da hina: saniga daha.
8 the words of a tattler, are dainties, they, therefore go down into the chambers of the inner man.
Baligiduli sia: su da hedaidafa. Osobo bagade dunu da amo da: gimusa: hanai gala.
9 Surely he that is slothful in his work, brother, is he to a master at laying waste.
Hihi dabuli dunu ea hou da liligi wadela: su dunu amo ea hou defele ba: sa.
10 A tower of strength, is the Name of Yahweh, thereinto, runneth the righteous, and is safe.
Hina Gode da gasa bagade diasu gado gagagula heda: i agoane ba: sa. Moloidafa dunu da amoga asili, gagili sali dagoi ba: sa.
11 The substance of a rich man, is his strong city, and like a high wall, in his imagination.
Be bagade gagui dunu da amo mae dawa: le, ilia muni gagui amo da ili gagili sali agoane dawa: sa. Ilia muni da gagoi gado gagagula heda: i, amo moilai bai bagade sisiga: sa, ilia gagui da agoaiwane gala, ilia dadawa: sa.
12 Before grievous injury, a man’s heart is haughty, and, before honour, is humility.
Dunu eno da asaboi dunu ilima fawane nodosa. Be gasa fi dunu da hedolowane dafamu.
13 He that answereth before he heareth, a folly, it is to him, and, a reproach.
Hidadea lalabolalu, fa: no fawane sia: ma. Dia amane hame hamosea, di da gagaoui agoane amola gadesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
14 The spirit of a man, sustaineth his sickness, but, a dejected spirit, who can bear it?
Di da esalumu hanai galea, dia oloi da uhimu. Be di da amane hame dawa: sea, dia dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu da asi dagoi ba: mu?
15 the heart of the intelligent, acquireth knowledge, yea, the ear of the wise, seeketh knowledge.
Bagade dawa: su dunu da dawa: su eno lamu bagade hanai amola eno dawa: ma: ne momagele esala.
16 The gift of a man, maketh room for him, and, before great men, setteth him down.
Di da mimogo dunu gousa: musa: dawa: bela: ? Defea! Hahawane dogolegele iasu ema ianu, e gousa: ma.
17 Righteous is he that is first in his own cause, then cometh his neighbour, and thoroughly searcheth him.
Dunu da bisili fofada: sea, ea sia: be amo nabasea, ea hou da moloidafa amo dunu ilia dawa: sa. Be gesu dunu da ema adole ba: sea, asigi dawa: su eno da doaga: sa.
18 The lot causeth, contentions, to cease, and, the mighty, it parteth.
Gasa bagade dunu aduna da fofada: su diasu ganodini fofada: sea, ela molole ba: sea, ele da ululuale hedele, afae da baligi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, amo hou da hahamoi dagoi ba: mu.
19 A brother estranged, [is worse] than a strong city, —and, contentions, are as the bar of a citadel.
Dia na: iyado amo noga: le fidima. Amasea, e da moilai bai bagade gasa bagade gagoi amo defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia da ema sia: ga gegesea, e da logo ga: i dagoi defele, di higamu.
20 Of the fruit of a man’s mouth, shall his inmost mind be satisfied, with the product of his lips, shall he be satisfied.
Dunu ilia liligi sagai amo defele ha: i manu lasa. Amola ilia sia: amo defele hodo doaga: sa.
21 Death and life, are in the power of the tongue, and, its friends, shall eat its fruits.
Di sia: be amo da esalusu logo amola bogosu logo hamosu gala. Dia sia: be amo da bogosu logo doasisa: besa: le, dawa: iwane sia: ma.
22 Who hath found a wife, hath found a blessing, and hath obtained favour from Yahweh.
Uda hogole ba: sea, liligi noga: i ba: mu. Hina Gode da dima asigiba: le, uda noga: iwane dima iaha.
23 Supplications, doth the poor man utter, but, the rich, answereth fiercely.
Hame gagui dunu da asaboiwane adole ba: sa e fidima: ne, be bagade gagui dunu da gasa fiwane sia: sa.
24 A man having [many] friends, shall come to ruin, but there is a loving one, who sticketh closer than a brother.
Dunu mogili da dogolegei gilisi gala amo da hedolowane dafamu. Be dogolegei na: iyado afae ea mae fisili asigi hou da yolala eyala elea asigi hou baligisa.
