Proverbs 22
1 A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favor rather than silver and gold.
Hou aduna gala. Afae da di da moloi hou hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa. Eno da di da bagade gagusu dunu agoai ba: mu. Di da moloi hamobeba: le, eno dunu da dima nodosa, amo logoga masa: ne ilegema.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD [is] the maker of them all.
Bagade gagui dunu amola hame gagui dunu, ela da hisu hisu. Be hou afadafa da defele. Amo da Hina Gode da ela defele Hi hamoi.
3 A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Molole dawa: su dunu da mosolasu mabe noga: le ba: sa, amola amo fisima: ne noga: le gagagulasa. Be noga: le hame dawa: su dunu da mosolasu amo ganodini ahoa, amola fa: no e da bagade gogosiane da: i diosa.
4 By humility [and] the fear of the LORD [are] riches, and honor, and life.
Hina Godema nabasu hou hamoma, amola gasa fi hou mae hamoma. Amasea, di da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu, dunu eno da dima nodomu, amola di da ode bagohame esalumu.
5 Thorns [and] snares [are] in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da esalusu logoga ahoasea, sani bagohame ba: sa. Di da dia esalusu amoma asigi galea, amo saniga dasa: besa: le, segasa: ima.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Dia mano da moloiwane esaloma: ne, ema hou noga: le olelema. Amasea, e da amo hou mae gogolele, ea bogosu amoga doaga: mu.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender.
Hame gagui dunu da bagade gagui dunu ilia bidi mae lale udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai galebe. Nowa dunu da enoma muni bu imunusa: lasea, e da amo muni iasu dunu amo ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esala.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
Di da moloi hame hou, hawa: agoane sagasea, se nabasu da sono agoane heda: le, se nabasu da gamibi agoai ba: mu. Amola amo sagai da hame dialumu.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Di da mae hihini, dia ha: i manu mogili hame gagui dunuma iasea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall end; yes, strife and reproach shall cease.
Dilia gasa fi dunu sefasima. Amasea, dilia da sia: ga gegesu amola dunu eno ilia dio amoma lasagole sia: su, amo bu hame ba: mu.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his lips the king [shall be] his friend.
Nowa da hadigi ida: iwane asigi dawa: su amo hanai galea, amola asigidafa sia: hanai galea, amo dunuma hina bagade da dogolegemu.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
Hina Gode da dafawane sia: momagele legesa. Be E da ogogosu dunu ilia sia: wadela: lesisa.
13 The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
Hihi dabuli dunu e da eso huluane diasu ganodini fawane esala. E da amane sia: sa, “Na da gadili ahoasea, laione wa: me da na medole legemu galebe!”
14 The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is abhorred by the LORD shall fall therein.
Inia uda adole lasu hou da sani agoane diala. Hina Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu ilima ougi bagade gala, amola agoai dunu da amo saniga hedolo sa: imu.
15 Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Mano huluane da dawa: hamedene, udigili hou hamonana. Be ili fada: i dawa: ma: ne fasea da ilia hou bu hahamomu.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches], [and] he that giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want.
Dia udigili iasu amo bagade gagui dunuma iasea, o di bagade gaguma: ne hame gagui dunu ilia liligi lasea, amola ilima banenesisia, di amola da fa: no hame gagui dunu agoai ba: mu.
17 Bow down thy ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart to my knowledge.
Nabima! Amasea, na da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia olelebe amo dima olelemu. Ilia olelebe amo noga: le hogoi helema.
18 For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keepest them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
Amola di da amo olelebe noga: le dawa: sea, amola eno dunuma olelemusa: dawa: sea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
Na da amo olelebe wali dima olelemu. Bai di noga: le nabalu, Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: mu, amo na da hanai galebe.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
Na da dima olelema: ne, sia: 30 agoane dedei dagoi. Amo sia: ganodini dawa: ma: ne sia: , sisasu sia: amola fada: i sia: da dedei dagoi.
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send to thee?
Amo sia: da dima dafawanedafa hou olelemu. Amasea, di da enoga dafawane hou hogoi helema: ne asunasisia, di da amo ea bai bu gaguli misunu.
22 Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Hame gagui dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia hou mae banenesima. Amola asaboi gasa hame dunu ilima fofada: sea, ilia hou mae banenesima.
23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
Bai Hina Gode da ili fidima: ne ilimagale fofada: mu. Amola nowa dunu da amo asaboi hame gagui dunu ilima beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: sea, Hina Gode da amo dunu beda: ma: ne medole legemusa: sia: mu.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
Dilia gasa fi nimi bagade dunu amo maedafa dogolegema.
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
Di da amaiwane hou lasa: besa: le amola dia hou bu afadenemu hamedeiwane ba: sa: besa: le amo maedafa dogolegema.
26 Be not thou [one] of them that strike hands, [or] of them that are sureties for debts.
Dunu eno da liligi lale bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, di da ea udigili lai amo dabe imunusa: mae sia: ma
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
Di da fa: no amo dabe imunu da hamedei ba: sea, se nabimu. Amola ilia dia liligi huluane amola dia diaheda: su amolawane, amo dabeyale lamu.
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
Musa: fi dunu ilia soge alalo ilegesu, amo maedafa gua: ma.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].
Nowa dunu da noga: idafa hawa: hamosu hamosea, e da dunu oda bagohame ilia hou baligisa. Amola e da hina bagade dunu ilima gilisimu defele ba: sa.
