Proverbs 18
1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh [and] intermeddleth with all wisdom.
Dunu nowa da hina: hou gasa fiyale dawa: sea, ilia da eno dunuma hame dogolegesa. Amola hou amo da dunu huluane da moloidafa dawa: , ilia da amoma gagayei agoai ba: sa.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may reveal itself.
Gagaoui dunu da noga: le dawa: mu hihisa. E da hi dawa: su fawane noga: iyale dawa: le, eno dunuma olelesa.
3 When the wicked cometh, [then] cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
Wadela: i hou ea dabe da gogosiasu. Di da dia noga: i hou fisisia, dunu eno ilia dia hou hihi ba: mu.
4 The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the well-spring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook.
Dunu ida: iwane gala amo ea sia: ganodini hahawane dawa: su ba: mu. Fedege sia: , amo da hano wayabo bagade ea lugudu amola hano nawa: li ida: iwane agoai gala.
5 [It is] not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
Moloidafa hamosu dunu ilima fofada: nanu, se imunu da defea hame. Be wadela: i hamosu ilima fofada: nanu, se hame imunu, amo amolawane da defea hame.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: ga gegesu hemosea, e da enoga e fama: ne logo doasisa.
7 A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: sia: sea, e da hi gobele fawane wadela: sa. E da hina: sia: amoga fawane e da hina: saniga daha.
8 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Baligiduli sia: su da hedaidafa. Osobo bagade dunu da amo da: gimusa: hanai gala.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
Hihi dabuli dunu ea hou da liligi wadela: su dunu amo ea hou defele ba: sa.
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Hina Gode da gasa bagade diasu gado gagagula heda: i agoane ba: sa. Moloidafa dunu da amoga asili, gagili sali dagoi ba: sa.
11 The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
Be bagade gagui dunu da amo mae dawa: le, ilia muni gagui amo da ili gagili sali agoane dawa: sa. Ilia muni da gagoi gado gagagula heda: i, amo moilai bai bagade sisiga: sa, ilia gagui da agoaiwane gala, ilia dadawa: sa.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor [is] humility.
Dunu eno da asaboi dunu ilima fawane nodosa. Be gasa fi dunu da hedolowane dafamu.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame to him.
Hidadea lalabolalu, fa: no fawane sia: ma. Dia amane hame hamosea, di da gagaoui agoane amola gadesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
Di da esalumu hanai galea, dia oloi da uhimu. Be di da amane hame dawa: sea, dia dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu da asi dagoi ba: mu?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Bagade dawa: su dunu da dawa: su eno lamu bagade hanai amola eno dawa: ma: ne momagele esala.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
Di da mimogo dunu gousa: musa: dawa: bela: ? Defea! Hahawane dogolegele iasu ema ianu, e gousa: ma.
17 [He that is] first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.
Dunu da bisili fofada: sea, ea sia: be amo nabasea, ea hou da moloidafa amo dunu ilia dawa: sa. Be gesu dunu da ema adole ba: sea, asigi dawa: su eno da doaga: sa.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
Gasa bagade dunu aduna da fofada: su diasu ganodini fofada: sea, ela molole ba: sea, ele da ululuale hedele, afae da baligi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, amo hou da hahamoi dagoi ba: mu.
19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.
Dia na: iyado amo noga: le fidima. Amasea, e da moilai bai bagade gasa bagade gagoi amo defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia da ema sia: ga gegesea, e da logo ga: i dagoi defele, di higamu.
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
Dunu ilia liligi sagai amo defele ha: i manu lasa. Amola ilia sia: amo defele hodo doaga: sa.
21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit of it.
Di sia: be amo da esalusu logo amola bogosu logo hamosu gala. Dia sia: be amo da bogosu logo doasisa: besa: le, dawa: iwane sia: ma.
22 [Whoever] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favor from the LORD.
Uda hogole ba: sea, liligi noga: i ba: mu. Hina Gode da dima asigiba: le, uda noga: iwane dima iaha.
23 The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
Hame gagui dunu da asaboiwane adole ba: sa e fidima: ne, be bagade gagui dunu da gasa fiwane sia: sa.
24 A man [that hath] friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.
Dunu mogili da dogolegei gilisi gala amo da hedolowane dafamu. Be dogolegei na: iyado afae ea mae fisili asigi hou da yolala eyala elea asigi hou baligisa.
