Proverbs 14
1 Wise women [PRS] hold their families together [by the wise things that they do], but foolish women ruin their families by the foolish things that they do.
Uda amo da asigi dawa: su ida: iwane gala, da ea sosogo fi noga: le ouligisa. Be gagaoui uda da amo sosogo fi hedolo wadela: sa.
2 By [continually] behaving/acting righteously, [people show that they] greatly revere Yahweh; those who (walk on crooked paths/always deceive others) [show that they] despise him.
Moloidafa hou hamoma! Amasea, di da dia Hina Godema nabasu hou amo eno dunu ilima olelemu. Be moloi hou hame hamosea, di da Hina Godema hame nabasu hou amo dunu eno ili ba: ma: ne olelesa.
3 Foolish people will be punished [MTY] for what they say, but wise [people] will be protected by what they say [MTY].
Gagaoui dunu da gasa fi hamobeba: le, udigili bagade sia: daha. Be nowa dunu da asigi dawa: su ida: iwane galea, ea sia: noga: i da ema gaga: su liligi agoai gala.
4 If [a man has] no oxen [to plow his field], he does not [need to put] grain [in their feedbox], but if [he has] oxen, they will enable [him to produce] an abundant crop.
Di da bulamagau dia osobo gidinasu hiougisu galea, dia ha: i manu ligisisu diasu da gagoma bagade amoga nabai ba: mu. Be bulamagau hame galea, ha: i manu amola hame ba: mu.
5 Witnesses who are reliable [always] say what (is true/really happened), but witnesses who are not reliable constantly tell lies [about what happened].
Noga: idafa ba: su dunu da fofada: sea, moloidafa sia: fawane sia: sa. Be moloi hame ba: su dunu da ogogosu fawane sia: sa.
6 Those who make fun [of being wise] will never become wise, but those who understand [what is right] learn things easily.
Hi hou hidale dawa: su dunu da hi hou da bagade dawa: beba: le, da bagade dawa: su hamedafa lamu. Be asigi dawa: su noga: i dunu da hedolo dawa: lamu.
7 Stay away from foolish people, because they will not be able to teach you anything [useful].
Gagaoui dunu ilima gasigama. Ilia da dima olelemu hamedei.
8 Those who have good sense are wise, so they know what they should do [and what they should not do]; foolish people do not know what is right to do, but because they think that they do, they are deceiving themselves.
Bagade dawa: su dunu da habodane bagade dawa: sala: ? Bai e da adi hamomusa: dawa: sea, e da dawa: iwane hamosa. Amola gagaoui dunu da habodane gagaouila: ? Bai hi da liligi huluane dawa: hi fawane dawa: sa, be e da hame dawa:
9 Foolish people make fun of their committing sins; but God is pleased with those who do what is right.
Gagaoui dunu da mae dawa: iwane hahawane wadela: i hou hamosa. Be noga: i dunu da wadela: i hamosea, ilia da gogosiane gogolema: ne olofosu hogosa.
10 If you are very sad or if you are joyful, only you know what you are experiencing; no one else [can] know what you are feeling.
Dia hahawane hou da dia hou fawane. Amola dia da: i ea hou da dia hou fawane. Eno dunu da dia hou gilisili lamu da hamedei.
11 Houses built by wicked [people] will be destroyed, but houses built by good/righteous [people] will last for a long time.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu ea sosogo fi da hedolowane wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Be dunu ida: iwane ea sosogo fi da gasawane lelumu.
12 There are some kinds of behavior [MET] that [some] people [falsely] think are right, but (walking on those roads/continually doing those things) causes [those people] to die.
Dunu ilia da logo dialebe ba: sa amola amo da logodafa ilia da dawa: lala. Be amo logo da bogosu doaga: ma: ne diala.
13 [Sometimes] when people laugh, they are [really] sad, and when they stop laughing, they are still sad.
Hahawane ousa da da: i dioi hou fonobahadi dedebosa. Be fa: no, hahawane hou da dagosea, da: i dioi da dialebe ba: mu.
14 Those who stubbornly continue to do what is wrong will get what they deserve, and those who continually do what is good will [also] get what they deserve.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da ilia hamoi defele wadela: i bidi lamu. Be noga: i dunu da ilia hamoi defele bidi ida: iwane lamu.
15 Foolish people believe everything [that people tell them]; those who have good sense think carefully about what will be the result of their actions.
Gagaoui dunu da liligi huluane udigili dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Be bagade dawa: su dunu da noga: le ba: lala, hou hi hamobe amo.
16 Wise people are careful and avoid [doing things that will give them] trouble; foolish people are careless and act (too quickly/without thinking).
Noga: i dawa: su dunu da dawa: iwane ahoabeba: le, wadela: i hou amoga gasigasa. Be gagaoui dunu da mae dawa: iwane hedolo hamosa amola ea ougi hou da hedolo heda: sa.
17 Those who quickly become angry [IDM] do foolish things; [people] hate those who plan to do wicked things (OR, those who have good sense remain calm/patient).
Nowa dunu da ea ougi hedolo heda: sa da gagaoui hou hamosa. Be noga: i dawa: dunu da asaboiwane ouesalumu.
18 Foolish people get what they deserve for doing foolish things; those with good sense are rewarded [MET] by being able to learn a lot.
Hame dawa: su dunu da ilia gagaoui hou defele wadela: i dabe laha. Be noga: i asigi dawa: su dunu ilia asigi dawa: su hou da asigilamu.
19 [Some day] evil [people] will bow down in front of righteous [people to show that they respect them]; they [will humbly stand] at the gates of [the houses of] righteous [people and request their help].
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da hobea moloidafa dunu ilima beguduli amola ilima edegemu.
20 [No one likes] poor [people]; even their friends/neighbors do not like them; rich [people] have many friends, but [only while the rich people still have money].
Ema gadenene fi dunu amola dunu huluane da hame gagui dunu ema hame asigisa. Be bagade gagui dunu da ema asigi na: iyado dunu bagohame esalebe ba: sa.
21 It is sinful to despise your [poor] neighbors; [God] is pleased with those who do kind things for the poor.
Di da hame gagui dunu ilima asigi galea, di da hahawane ba: mu. Be dunu enoma higasu hou da wadela: i bagade.
22 Those who plan to do things that are evil/wrong are walking on the wrong road; people faithfully love, respect and are loyal to those who plan to do what is good.
Di da dunu eno fidima: ne amola hou noga: i hamosea, eno dunu da dima dafawaneyale dawa: le nodomu. Be di da wadela: le hamosea, di da giadofasa.
23 If you work hard, you will (accomplish something good/get a good income), but if all you do is to talk [and not work], you will remain poor.
Nowa da gasa gala hawa: hamosea, e da bidi ida: iwane lamu. Be nowa da udigili esala sia: dalea da hame gagui agoai esalumu.
24 One of the rewards [MET] of being wise is to become rich; the reward of acting foolishly is to become more foolish.
Noga: i dawa: su dunu da bidi ida: iwane lamu. Be eno dunu ilia da gagaoui dunu ilia udigili gagaoui hou fawane ba: sa.
25 By saying [in court] what is true, you [can] save the life [of the one who is being falsely accused]; if you tell lies, you are abandoning someone who needs your help [to defend him].
Ba: su dunu da molole fofada: sea, e da eno dunu ilia esalusu gaga: sa. Be e da ogogole sia: sea, eno dunu ilima hohonosa.
26 Those who revere Yahweh are confident [that he will protect them], and their family will [also] be protected.
Nowa dunu e da Hina Godema nodone beda: sea, e da adi hou doaga: sea, e da mae beda: ne gasalale aligimu. Amola ea sosogo fi amola mano da hahawane gaga: iwane esalumu.
27 Having an awesome respect for Yahweh is [like] [MET] [having] a fountain that gives life; it will help you to escape when something dangerous is threatening to kill you [MET].
Di da bogosu fisimu hanabela: ? Hina Godema nodosu da esalusu hano bubuga: su agoai.
28 If a king rules over many people, many people will [be able to] honor him; if he has only a few people in his kingdom, he will have very little [HYP] power.
Hina bagade da dunu bagohame ouligisia, gasa bagade ba: sa. Be ea dunu fi da hame galea, e amola da hamedei ba: mu.
29 Those who do not quickly become angry are very wise; by quickly becoming angry, people show that they are foolish.
Noga: i asigi dawa: su dunu da asaboiwane esalebe ba: sa. Be di da hedolowane ougisia, amo da dia gagaoui hou olelesa.
30 Having a mind that is peaceful results in having a healthy body; having a mind that is [often] in turmoil is [like] [MET] cancer in [a person’s] bones.
Dia asigi dawa: su ganodini amo asaboi olofosu galea, hahawane ba: mu. Be mudasu hou da olo bagadewane, dia hu amola gasa na dagosa.
31 Those who oppress poor people are insulting God, the one who made those poor people, but acting kindly toward them is respecting God.
Di da hame gagui dunu banenesisia, di da Gode (E da amo dunu hahamoi) Ema gadesa. Be di da hame gagui ilima asigi hou olelesea, amo da Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu defele gala.
32 Wicked [people] ruin themselves by the evil things that they do, but righteous/good [people] are kept safe/protected even when they die (OR, because of their continually doing what is right).
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da wadela: i hamobeba: le, ilisu dafamu logo fodosa. Be noga: i dunu da ilia hou ida: iwane gala amoga gaga: i dagoi ba: sa.
33 Those who have good sense always think what is wise; foolish people do not know anything about being wise.
Noga: idafa dawa: su dunu amo ea dogo da dawa: su hou amoga nabai gala. Be gagaoui dunu da noga: i dawa: su hou hamedafa dawa:
34 [When] the people of a nation [continually act] righteously, it causes that nation to be great; [continually doing what is] evil causes a nation to be disgraced.
Moloidafa hou hamobeba: le, osobo bagade fi da noga: idafa ba: mu. Be wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, osobo bagade fi da gogosiasu ba: mu.
35 Kings are pleased with officials who do their work competently/skillfully, but they punish [MTY] those who [do their work in a manner that] causes the kings to be disgraced.
Hina bagade dunu da eagene ouligisu noga: i amo hahawane ba: sa. Be eagene ouligisu da noga: le hame hamosea, hina bagade da ema se iasu iaha.
