Proverbs 17
1 It is better to have quiet with a dry morsel of bread than a house full of feasting with strife.
Dunu ilia da hafoga: le gamogai agi ga: gi fawane nasea, be ilia dogo ganodini olofosu dawa: , amo dunu ilia hahawane hou da dunu ilia lolo nabe ida: iwanedafa hamosa be gilisili bidi hamosa, amo bagade baligisa.
2 A wise servant will rule over a son who acts shamefully and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.
Dawa: iwane hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina ea wadela: i hamedeidafa mano amoma ouligisu agoai ba: mu. Amola ea hina da bogosea, e da ea hina nana liligi amola muni mogili lamu.
3 The crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, but Yahweh refines hearts.
Dunu da gouli amola silifa laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, Gode da dunu ea dogo adoba: sa.
4 The evildoer pays attention to wicked lips; a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou sia: fawane nabimusa: dawa: Ogogosu dunu ilia da ogogosu sia: fawane naba.
5 Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker and the one who rejoices at misfortune will not go unpunished.
Di da hame gagui dunu ilima lasogole oufesega: sea, Gode da amo dunu hahamoiba: le, di da Godema gadesa. Di da eno dunu ilia se nabasu amo hahawane ba: sea, Gode da dima se imunu.
6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged and parents bring honor to their children.
Dunu mano ilia da ilia eda amola ame ilima nodosa. Amo defele, dunu da: i ilia da ilia aowalalima ofa: le hidale ba: le sia: sa.
7 Eloquent speech is not suitable for a fool; much less are lying lips suitable for royalty.
Gagaoui dunu ilia sia: da hamedei liligi agoai gala. Be dunu ilima dunu eno da nodosa, amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:
8 A bribe is like a magic stone to the one who gives it; wherever he turns, he succeeds.
Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
9 Whoever overlooks an offense seeks love, but the one who repeats a matter alienates close friends.
Di da dunu eno dima hahawane ba: ma: ne hanai galea, ilia dima giadofale hamosea, amo hedolowane gogolema: ne olofoma. Be wadela: i hou hame gogolema: ne olofosea, dia fi da afafai ba: mu.
10 A rebuke goes deeper into a person who has understanding than a hundred blows go into a fool.
Di da noga: le dawa: su dunu ema afadafa fawane gagabole sia: sea, e da naba. Be di da gagaoui dunu ema eno sia: ne, eno sia: ne, fabe amomane, e da sia: hamedafa naba.
11 An evil person only seeks rebellion, so a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da lelei hou fawane hamosa. Ea bogosu da ema nimi bagade sia: adole iasu dunu agoai ba: mu.
12 It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to meet a fool in his foolishness.
Di da bea aseme amo ea mano da fisi, amogai doaga: sea, se nabimu. Be di da gagaoui dunu amo da ea gagaoui hou hamonana, ema doaga: sea, se bagade baligiliwane nabimu.
13 When someone returns evil for good, evil will never leave his house.
Dunu da dima moloi hou hamosea, be di da wadela: i hou ema dabe iasea, di da eso huluane wadela: i fawane ba: lalumu.
14 The beginning of conflict is like one who releases water everywhere, so walk away from the dispute before it has broken out.
Sia: ga gegesu mubi da hano hihiga: i bisili doasibi agoai gala. Amaiwane bu bagade hamosa: besa: le, hedolo ga: ma.
15 The person who acquits the wicked person and the person who condemns the righteous person— both are an abomination to Yahweh.
Dilia da hame giadofai dunuma udigili se iasea, Hina Gode da bagade higasa. Amola, dilia giadofai dunuma se hame iasea, amo amolawane Hina Gode da bagade higasa.
16 Why should a fool pay money to learn about wisdom, when he has no ability to learn it?
Gagaoui dunu da osobo bagade dawa: lamusa: muni bagade galagamu da defea hame galebe. Bai e da noga: le dawa: su hameba: le.
17 A friend is loving at all times and a brother is born for times of trouble.
Na: iyado dunu da eso huluane ilia asigi hou olelesa. Dunu da se nabasea, na: iyado huluane da asigili, gilisili se nabimu da defea.
18 A man having no sense makes binding promises and becomes responsible for his neighbor's debts.
Dunu oda da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sa. Be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunusa: sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa.
19 Whoever loves conflict loves sin; the one who makes the threshold of his door too high causes bones to be broken.
Di da wadela: i hou hanai galea, di da bidi hamosu amola hanai gala. Di da hidale dia hou gaguia gadosea, bidi da dima doaga: mu.
20 A person who has a crooked heart finds nothing that is good; the one who has a perverse tongue falls into calamity.
Nowa dunu e noga: le mae dawa: le, wadela: i sia: sia: sea, e da moloi hou hame ba: mu. E da se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
21 Whoever is the parent of a fool brings grief to himself; and the father of a fool has no joy.
Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Di da eso huluane hahawane esalea, olo da bagadewane hame madelamu. Be eso huluane da: i dioiwane esalea, bogosu da gebewane doaga: mu.
23 A wicked man accepts a secret bribe to pervert the ways of justice.
Molole hame fofada: su dunu da hano sulugiliwane muni laha. Amasea, moloidafa fofada: su hame ba: sa.
24 The one who has understanding sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are set on the ends of the earth.
Dawa: su dunu da dawa: iwane hawa: hamonana. Be gagaoui dunu da udigili logo osea: i amoga ahoana.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to the woman who bore him.
Gagaoui hou hamosu dunu mano amo ea hamobeba: le, ea ada amola ame da se bagade naba.
26 Also, it is never good to punish the righteous person; neither is it good to flog noble men who have integrity.
Moloidafa dunu ema fofada: nanu, su lamu da defea hame. Wadela: i hame hamoi dunu ema se iasea, moloidafa fofada: su hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
27 One who has knowledge uses few words and one with understanding is even-tempered.
Nowa dunu da hi hou da moloi hi dawa: , amo dunu da mae fisili udigili sia: dasu hame dawa: Asabole esalebe dunu da asigi dawa: su ea bai bagade dawa:
28 Even a fool is thought to be wise if he keeps silent; when he keeps his mouth shut, he is considered to be intelligent.
Dunu ilia da hame sia: dasu dunu ba: sea, ilia da amo dunu da bagade dawa: su dunu agoai dawa: sa. Amola gagaoui dunu da ea lafi hame dagasea, e da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia da dawa: sa.
