Proverbs 2
1 My son, listen to what I say, and [consider my instructions to be as valuable as] [MET] a treasure.
Nagofe! Dawa: ma adi na olelebe liligi mae gogolema amola na adi sia: be defele hamoma.
2 Pay attention to wisdom and try hard to understand it.
Nabima hou moloidafa amola dawa: mu logo hogoma.
3 Call out [to God] to get insight; plead with him to help you to understand more [of what he wants you to know].
Ma, amola dawa: su hogoi helema amola amo lama: ne ha: giwane edegema.
4 Search [eagerly] for wisdom, like you would search for silver, like you would search for a treasure that someone has hidden.
Hogoma amola hogoi helema gouli amola silifa wamolegei hogobe defele hogoma.
5 If you do that, you will understand how to revere Yahweh, and you will succeed in knowing God.
Be di amane hamosea, di da Hina Godema nodone beda: su hou dawa: mu. Amola di da Gode Ea hou dawa: ma: ne didili hamomu.
6 Yahweh is the one who gives us wisdom. He is the one who tells us things that we need to know and understand.
Amo dawa: su da Gode Hi fawane iaha. Dawa: su hou amola moloi dawa: digisu da Godema fawane maha.
7 He gives good advice to those who conduct their lives as they should. He protects [MET] those who do what is right.
Gode da Hi fawane fidisu hou ouligisa amola E da moloidafa dunu amo gaga: sa.
8 He guards those who act justly/fairly [toward others], and he watches over those who are faithful/loyal [to him].
Hi fawane da nowa da eno dunuma hahawane moloidafa hou hamosea ilima ouligisa, amola nowa da Ema asigiba: le Ema fa: no bobogesea, Hi fawane da gaga: sa.
9 [If you ask God for wisdom], you will understand what is right and just [DOU] [to do], and [you will know] the right way to conduct your life,
Dia na sia: nabasea, di da hou ida: iwane dawa: mu amai amola defele di da dawa: su hou hamomu.
10 because you will be wise in your inner being; and knowing [what God wants you to know] will cause you to be joyful.
Di da dawa: su dunu esalumu amola dia dawa: su ida: iwane gala labeba: le hahawane bagade ba: mu.
11 If you know [PRS] how to choose what is right to do and if you understand [what God wants] you to do, God will protect you and guard you and keep you safe.
Dia hamobe liligi amola dawa: su da dima gaga: su liligi agoane ba: mu.
12 If you are wise [PRS], you will not do what evil people do, and you will not [believe what] deceitful people say.
Amola dia dawa: su hou da di wadela: i hou hamosa: besa: le, amo logo ga: mu. Di da bagade dawa: su lai dagoiba: le, dunu da baligidu sia: sia: beba: le o mosolasu hamosea, amo dunuma di da hame gilisimu.
13 Deceitful people have stopped acting fairly/justly [toward others] and (walk on dark and evil paths/do what evil people do) [MET].
Amo dunu ilia logo ida: iwane yolesili amola wadela: i hou gasi agoane ganodini ahoa.
14 They enjoy doing what is wrong; they like to do what is evil and to deceive [people].
Amola amo dunu ilia hou ida: iwane gala yolesili wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, hahawane bagade ba: sa.
15 They (walk on crooked paths/always deceive others) and are always dishonest.
Ilia da moloidafa hou hame dawa: amola eno dunu ilia hou dafawaneyale dawa: mu da hamedei.
16 If you are wise [PRS], you will [also] be saved from (immoral women/prostitutes); you will not pay attention when adulterous women try to (seduce/entice you by what they say.)
Wadela: le hamosu uda da sia: asaboi amoga di adole ba: mu dawa: sea, di da ea logo damumusa: dawa: mu.
17 Those women have left the husbands whom they married when they were young; they have disregarded the solemn promise they made to God [not to commit adultery].
Agoai uda da egoama hame dawa: sa amola egoa ema fawane fima: ne ilegele sia: i, amo yolesisa.
18 If you go into houses of women who are like that, you will die [when you are still young]; the road [to their houses] leads to hell. (questioned)
Amola di da agoaiwane uda ea diasuga ahoasea, di da bogosu logo amoga ahoana amola di da amoga ahoasea, amo bogosu sogega doaga: mu agoai galebe.
19 No man who (visits/sleeps with) a woman like that will again [live harmoniously with his family]. He will never have a [happy] life again.
Amola nowa dunu e ba: la ahoasea, e da bu hame sinidigimu. E da hahawane esalusu logoga bu hame misunu.
20 If [you are wise], you should behave like good men behave. You should (stay on the paths that righteous [people] walk on/do what godly people do) [MET],
Amaiba: le, di da dunu moloi hou hamobe amo ilia hou amoga fa: no bobogema.
21 because only godly people will live in this land [and receive God’s blessings]; [only] those who have not done wrong will stay here [for a long time].
Dunu nowa da moloi hou hamosea, e da ninia soge ganodini hahawane esalumu.
22 Wicked [people] will be expelled from this land, and [people] who are not trustworthy will be thrown {God will throw them} out of it.
Be nowa dunu da wadela: le hamosea, Gode E da amo dunu fadegale fasimu. Amola amo defele ha: i manu bugi wadela: sea a: le fasibi defele, Gode E da ili a: le fasimu.
