< Proverbs 29 >

1 Some people remain stubborn [IDM] [even] though they are often reproved/warned [about doing what is wrong], [but some day] they will be crushed/ruined, and nothing will be able to heal them.
Dunu da dima dawa: ma: ne gagabole sia: sea, di da eso huluane ilia sia: hihini amola hame nabasea, eso enoga di da dafane, bu wa: legadomu gogolemu.
2 When righteous [people] are rulers, people are happy, but when wicked [people] rule, people (groan/are miserable).
Moloidafa ouligisu dunu amo ea fi dunu da noga: le hahawane esala. Be moloi hame ouligisu dunu amo ea fi dunu da gayane, da: i dione esala.
3 Those who are eager to become wise cause their parents to be glad; those who spend their time with prostitutes will end up giving all their money to them.
Nowa dunu e da Bagade Dawa: su Hou hogoi helesea, ea ada da ema hahawane amola nodoi ganumu. Be nowa dunu da sasagesu uda ema muni bagade galagasea da gagaoui bagade agoai.
4 When a king rules justly/fairly, he causes his nation to be strong, but a king who is concerned [only] with getting more money from the people ruins his nation.
Hina bagade da moloidafa hou hanai galea, ea fifi asi gala da gasa bagade dialumu. Be hina bagade da muni hanai fawane galea, e da ea fi dunu wadela: lesimu.
5 Those who (flatter others/say nice things to others [merely] to cause them to feel good) are really setting a trap for them (OR, for themselves) [SYN].
Di da dia dogolegei ilima dabua hahaeafusia, di da dina: sa: ima: ne sanisa.
6 Evil people will be trapped by the sins that they commit, but righteous/honest people will sing and be joyful/happy.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia hou da ilila: sa: ima: ne sani agoai gala. Be molole hamosu dunu da hahawane halegale lala.
7 Righteous/Good people know that poor [people] should be treated fairly/justly, [but] wicked people (are not concerned about/do not pay attention to) those matters at all.
Noga: i dunu da hame gagui dunu amola dunu huluane defele ba: sa. Be wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia amo hou hame dawa: sa.
8 Those who make fun of [everything that is good say things that] cause [everyone in] the city to (be agitated/in turmoil); those who are wise enable [people] to remain calm.
Hina: hou gaguia gadosu dunu da moilai bai bagade ilia fi wili gala: musa: hamosa. Be bagade dawa: su dunu da hou bu olofoma: ne hamosa.
9 If a wise person sues a foolish person, the foolish person merely laughs [at him] and yells [at him] and will not be quiet (OR, [the dispute will] not be resolved).
Dadawa: su dunu da gagaoui dunu ema fofada: sea, gagaoui dunu da dodona: gini ofesega: su fawane hamosa.
10 Those who murder others hate people who (are honest/always do what is right), but righteous [people] try to protect them.
Fuga: su dunu da molole hamosu dunu higasa. Be moloidafa dunu da asabole molole hamosu dunu ilia esalusu gaga: sa.
11 People who are wise are patient and restrain/control themselves when they are angry, but foolish people (quickly show others that they are very angry/do not restrain themselves at all).
Noga: le hame dawa: su dunu ilia da ilia ougi hou dunu huluane ba: ma: ne olelesa. Be noga: le dawa: su dunu ilia da ilia ougi hou gagulaligisa.
12 If a ruler (pays attention to/believes) [people who tell] lies, all his officials will [also] become wicked.
Ouligisu dunu da ogogosu sia: amo nabasea, e fidili hawa: hamosu dunu huluane da ogogosu dunu agoai ba: mu.
13 There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.
Hame gagui dunu amola ema se iabe banenesisu dunu elea hou da hisu hisu. Be liligi afadafa da defele. Hina Gode da elama si defele i dagoi.
14 If kings judge poor [people] fairly, they will continue to rule for a long time.
Hina bagade da hame gagui dunu noga: le gaga: sea, e da ode bagohame ouligisa ahoanumu.
15 If children are punished/spanked and reproved/warned, they become wise; but if they are allowed to do whatever they want to do, they [do things that] cause their mothers to be ashamed of them.
Mano fofonobo huluane dawa: ma: ne mololesisia, amo da ilia hou noga: le fidisa. Be mano da hi hanai hou hamosea, eme da gogosiamu.
16 When wicked [people] rule, there are more crimes committed {people commit more crimes}, but [some day] those wicked people will (be defeated/no longer rule), and righteous [people] will see that happen.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da fi dunu ouligisia, wadela: i hou da bagade heda: sa. Be moloidafa dunu da mae bogole amo wadela: i ouligisu dunu ilia dafabe ba: mu.
17 If you discipline your children, they will no longer [do things that] will cause you to be worried; instead, they [will do things that] will delight you [SYN].
Dia gofe da hou noga: le dawa: ma: ne, ema noga: le dawa: ma: ne se ianu mololesima. Amasea, di da ea hou hamoi noga: iba: le, hame gogosiamu.
18 When the people [of a nation] do not receive messages that come directly from God, they do not control their behavior. [God] is pleased with those who obey his laws.
Fifi asi gala da Godema hame fa: no bobogesea, da udigili gugunufisa. Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sema nabawane fa: no bobogesea da hahawane gala.
19 It is not possible to correct/discipline servants only by talking to them; they understand what you are saying, but they do not pay attention to it.
Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunuma ea hou mololesimusa: sia: fawane sia: sea, e da dia sia: ea gega nabimu, be ea hou hame afadenemu.
20 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily [RHQ] than he can help/bless people who speak without thinking first.
Gagaoui dunu ea hou da hamedei gala. Be momabone sia: su dunu da mae dawa: le hedolo sia: sea, ea hou da baligili hamedei agoai ba: sa.
21 If someone gives his servants everything that they want, starting from when they are young, some day those servants will take from him everything that he owns.
Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu amoma ea goihadiniganini eso amola fa: no, amo hi hanai liligi huluane ema iasea, e da eso enoga dia liligi huluane ladili dagomu.
22 Those who [quickly] become angry cause [many] arguments, and they [also] commit many sins.
Hedolo momabone ougisu dunu ilia hamobeba: le, sia: ga gegesu amola bidi hamosu bagade doaga: sa.
23 Proud people will be disgraced; those who are humble will be respected.
Di da gasa fi hou hamosea, fa: no dafamu. Be di da asabole hamosea, eno dunu da dima nodone dawa: mu.
24 Those who help thieves [to steal] only hurt themselves; [when they are in court], they solemnly ask [God] to curse them [if they do not tell the truth], but they do not tell the truth [about the crime that was committed], [and as a result, God will curse them].
Wamolasu dunu ea na: iyado da hihima ha laidafa gala. E da fofada: su dunuma molole sia: sea, ea na: iyado da ema se imunu. Be e da ogogosea, e da Gode Ea se iasu ba: mu.
25 It is [like] a dangerous trap [MET] [for people] to be (afraid of/worried about) what others will think about them, but those who trust in Yahweh are safe/protected.
Di da dunu eno ilia dia hou habaila: le dawa: su, di bagade da: i dione dawa: sea da se nabasu liligi agoane. Be di da Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: sea, E da di gaga: mu.
26 Many [people] request rulers to do things to help them, but Yahweh is [the only one] who surely does for people what is fair/just.
Dunu huluane da ouligisu dunu ea ilima nodone dawa: ma: ne hanasa. Be Hina Gode Hi fawane da ilima moloidafa hou hamosa.
27 Righteous [people] hate/detest those who do what is evil, and wicked [people] hate [those whose behavior is always] good.
Molole hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: le hamosu dunuma higasa. Amola wadela: le hamosu dunu, ilia da molole hamosu dunuma higasa.
