Proverbs 31
1 These are sayings/messages that [God gave to] King Lemuel’s mother, and which his mother taught him:
Goe da gogolosu sia: amo hina bagade Lemiuele ea: me da ema sia: i,
2 You are my son; I gave birth to you [RHQ]; you are the son that [God gave me] in answer to my prayers.
“Di da na dogolegei manodafa. Na da Godema sia: ne gadoiba: le, E da di nama i. Na da dima adi adoma: bela: ?
3 Do not exhaust your energy [having sex] [EUP] with women [to whom you are not married], with women who ruin kings [by having sex with them].
Dia gasa huluane dagosa: besa: le, wadela: i uda adole lasu hou maedafa hamoma. Dia muni amoga mae galagama, wadela: i uda adole lasu amoga. Amo wadela: i uda da hina bagade dunu wadela: lesimusa: dawa:
4 Lemuel, kings should not be [constantly] drinking wine or [greatly] desire [to drink other] strong/alcoholic drinks.
Lemiuele! Nabima! Hina bagade dunu da waini (adini) hame manu da defea. Amola ilia waini hame hanamu da defea.
5 If they do that, they forget the laws [that they have made], and they do not do what is right for poor/afflicted [people].
Be ilia da adini nasea ilia da sema gogolesa amola ilia da hame gagui dunu ilia moloiwane fofada: su hame dawa: sa.
6 Give strong/alcoholic drinks to those who are dying and to those who are (greatly distressed/suffering very much).
Adini da amo dunu bogolalebe ilia liligi, amola nowa dunu da da: i dioi bagade galea amo ilia liligi.
7 If they drink, they will forget that they are poor, and they will not think about their distress/troubles any more.
Amaiba: le, ilia nawene, hame gagui hou amola da: i dioi hou gogolema: ne manu da defea.
8 Speak [MTY] to defend people who are unable to defend themselves; speak to encourage others to do what is right for those who are helpless.
Nowa dunu da ha: gi sia: mu gogolei galea, amo fidima: ne ha: gi sia: ma. Gasa hame dunu fidima: ne ouligima!
9 Speak [MTY] (on their behalf/to help them) and try to cause judges to decide matters fairly/justly; try to cause others to do for poor and needy [people] what should be done for them.
Ili fidili, molole sia: ne fofada: ma. Moloiwane hame gagui amo gaga: ma amola fidima: ne fofada: ma!”
10 It is very difficult [for a man] to [RHQ] find a wife who is good and who is capable [of doing many things]. [Any woman who is like that] is worth more than jewels.
Moloidafa uda lamu da hogoi helele gasa bagade ba: sa. Moloidafa uda ea lasu da igi noga: i muni bagadega lasu amo bagadewane baligisa.
11 Her husband completely trusts her, and [because of her], he has everything that he needs [LIT].
Amo uda ea egoa da idua ea hou da moloidafa dafawaneyale dawa: sa. Amola egoa da eso huluane liligi defele gagui dialumu.
12 She never does anything that would harm him; she does good things for him all the days of her life.
Amaiwane uda esalea, egoa noga: le fidisa amola egoama da: i diosu hame iaha.
13 She finds wool and flax [in the market], and she enjoys spinning it [to make yarn].
E da eso huluane hawa: hamosa esala. E da wulo gobea ha: sa amola abula amuna esala.
14 She is like [SIM] a ship that brings from far away goods/merchandise to sell, [because] she buys food that comes from far away.
E da dusagai bagade defele, ha: i manu amo soge sedadega gaguli maha.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare food for her family. [Then] she plans the work that her servant girls will do on that day.
Agoaiwane uda e da hame hadigia, wa: legadole, ea sosogo fi amogili ha: i manu gobesa, amola ea fidisu a: fini ilima hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne olelesa.
16 She [goes out and] looks at a field [that someone wants to sell]; and [if it is a good field], she buys it. She [buys] grapevines [MTY] with the money that she has earned, [and then] she plants them.
Amaiwane uda e da soge ba: lalu bu amo soge bidilasa. Amola muni ea lai amoga e da amo soge ganodini waini hawa: bugisa.
17 She works very hard [IDM]; she makes her arms strong [by the work she does].
Agoaiwane uda e da gasa bagade gala. Amola e da hawa: obenane gasa bagade hamosa.
18 She knows when she is getting a good profit from her business. [When it is necessary], she works [MTY] until it is late at night.
E da ea hamobe huluane ea lamu defei amo dawa: Amola e da gasibi galu mae helefili, hawa: hamonana.
19 She holds the (spindle/rod which twists the thread that she is making), and [then] she spins the thread [MTY] [that she will use].
Amaiwane uda da hifawane gobea ha: le, amola ea abula hi fawane amuna.
20 She generously helps [MTY] those who are poor and needy [DOU].
E da hame gagui dunu ilima asigiba: le, liligi iaha.
21 She is not worried that [the people in her house will be cold in] the winter, because [she has made] warm clothes for all of them.
Anegagi eso doaga: sea e da hame da: i diosa. Bai e da ea sosogo fi ilia anegagi abula hahamoi dagoiba: le.
22 She makes bedspreads/quilts for the beds. She wears fine linen clothes that are dyed purple, [like queens wear].
E da ea sosogo fi ilia golamusa: fafai amo da: iya abula ida: iwane fa: sisa. Amola e da oga: yei abula amo sala.
23 Her husband is [well] known by the important people of the town; he sits with the [other] town leaders in the meetings of the town council.
Egoa da dunu huluane ilia e dawa: Amola e da ea fi ganodini bisilua esala.
24 She makes clothes from linen cloth and sells them. She sells sashes to shop owners.
Amaiwane uda da abula amola idinigisu bulu hahamosa. Amalalu, e da bidi lasu dunu ilima amo liligi bidi lasa.
25 She is strong in her character and respected/dignified, and she (laughs at/is not afraid of) [what will happen in] the future.
Amola amo uda e da gasa bagade amola eno dunu da ema nodosa. Amola e da fa: no misunu hou amoga hame beda: sa.
26 When she speaks, she says what is wise. When she gives instructions, she speaks [MTY] kindly (OR, faithfully).
Amola e da asabole, dawa: le sia: sa.
27 She watches over everything that is done in her household, and she [IDM] is never lazy.
Amola amo uda da mae hihini amola hame helefisa. E da ea sosogo fi ilia hanai liligi huluane defele hamosa.
28 Her children all together speak highly of her, and her husband also praises her.
Ea mano amola egoa da ema hahawane nodosa.
29 [He says to her], “There are many women who do admirable things, but you surpass them all!”
Egoa da ema amane sia: sa, “Uda oda da noga: i, be dia hou da uda huluane ilia hou baligidafa.”
30 Some women who are attractive [are not really good women], [but] they can deceive us [regarding what they are really like]. Furthermore, women’s beauty does not last; but women who revere Yahweh should be honored.
Uda mogili da ogogole obebenale hamosa. Amola noga: iwane ba: su hou da fisi dagoi ba: mu. Be nowa uda da Hina Gode Ea hou ida: iwane dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo udama nodomu da defea.
31 Reward women who are like that, and praise them in public [MTY] for what they have done.
Amaiwane uda da noga: le hamoiba: le, e da dabe ea hamoi defele lamu da defea. Amola dunu huluane ema nodomu da defea. Sia: Ama Dagoi
