Proverbs 25
1 These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
Soloumone ea malasu meloa dedei eno da goe. Yuda soge hina bagade Hesigaia, amo ea sia: dedesu dunu ilia da bu dedei.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
Gode da hou oda wamolegebeba: le, ninia da Ema nodone dawa: sa. Be hina bagade da hou huluane mae wamolegele ninima olelebeba: le fawane, ilima nodone dawa: sa.
3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
Hina bagade dunu ea dawa: su da ninia dawa: mu hamedeidafa. Be ea dawa: su da gadodafa amola hano wayabo lugudu gududafa agoai gala.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and material comes out for the refiner.
Dilia da silifa amoga nigima: dialebe amo dodofele fasisia, noga: le momadobe dunu ea liligi amo noga: le nina: hahamonesisu dawa:
5 Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
Wadela: i fada: i sia: su dunu da hina bagade ea hou wadela: sa. Be amo dunu fadegale fasisia, hina bagade da ea fi noga: le ouligimu.
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;
Di da hina bagade amo ba: la masea, di da asabole fonoboi dunu agoai ba: mu da defea. Di da mimogo gasa bagade ba: ma: ne mae ogogoma.
7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.
Dunu ilia da di fa: no aligi sogebi fisili, bisili aligi sogebi amoga heda: ma: ne sia: mu da defea. Be ilia dima bisili aligi sogebi amo fisili, gudu sa: ili, fa: no aligi sogebi masa: ne sia: sea, di da gogosiamu.
8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?
Di da dia ba: i liligi amo hedolowane mae fofada: ma. Amola dunu enoga dia sia: gufuli salasea, dia da adi hamoma: bela: ?
9 Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,
Dia na: iyado alia da: i dioi amo sia: dasea, alisudafa olofole ado sa: ima. Amola amo sia: dunu enoma mae adole ima.
10 lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
Di da amo sia: hame wamolegesea, dunu eno huluane da dawa: digili, sia: da bagade heda: mu amola di da sia: ouligisu hou hame dawa: ilia dawa: mu. Amasea, di da mae fisili, gogosiane esalumu.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Dawa: su noga: i amo eno dunuma dawa: ma: ne olelesea, amo da gouli dededei amo silifa bai amoma madelagilisi agoane gala.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.
Noga: le dawa: su dunu da nabimusa: hanai dunu amoma sisane sia: sea, amo hou da noga: idafaba: le, gegagulu gouliga hahamoi amo baligisa.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
Asunasisu dunu da sia: noga: le alofele iasu dunu ea hou amo hano nanu anegagi hisi agoai ba: sa.
14 As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
Nowa dunu da udigili liligi imunusa: sia: sea be hame iasea, e da fo amola mobi gilisili mabe agoai, be gibu da dabe hame ba: sa.
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.
Di da noga: le gebe dadawa: le sia: sea, dunu da musa: gelalu, ilia hou bu afadenene, bu dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Hina bagade dunu amolawane da dia sia: dafawaneyale dawa: mu.
16 Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
Di da agime ea hano dosogele mae moma. Be di da dosogele nasea, di da isomu.
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
Dia na: iyado ema fofoya sofe mae afufuma. Agoane hamosea, dia na: iyado da dia momafubi ba: i helesea, dima higamu.
18 A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
Gasulusu sia: da gegesu gobihei bagade amola gigi amola dadi agesoi defele medosu liligi agoai ba: sa.
19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.
Didili hame hamosu dunu da se nabasu doaga: sea, e da dunu eno noga: le hame fidisa. Be di da didili hame hamosu dunu da di noga: le fidimu amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo da bese wagoi amoga ha: i nabe amola emo gasuga: igi amoga ahoabe agoai ba: sa.
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
Di da da: i dioi nabasu dunu ema gesami hea: le gala: sea, e da se nabimu. Di da asugi esala lalu houlalebe dunu ema anegagi esoga ea abula gisa: le, o dunu ea fa: gi da: iya sali legesea, seselebe, amo hou defele ba: sa.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
Dia ha lai dunu da ha: i galea, ha: i manu ima. Amola e hano hanai galea, hano moma: ne ema dili ima.
22 for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
Amasea, e da da: i dia: ne gogosiamu. Amola Hina Gode da dima bidi imunu.
23 The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
Baligidu sia: su da foga gibu mini mabe agoai, ougi hou gaguli maha.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
Dunu e da gesa: gesa: i udala gilisili fimu da gasa bagade. Dunu hisu diasu dabua mogoa gado fifi lamu amo ea hou da amo baligisa.
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Sia: ida: iwane gala soge sedaga ganini maha da mage hafoga: iba: le hano nanu anegagi hisi agoai ba: sa.
26 Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
Moloidafa dunu da dafane, wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia sia: nabasea, amo hou da gu hano ubagei amola hano nasu ulidou ganodini hai amo agoai ba: sa.
27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
Agime hano dosogele nasea, di da dia hou wadela: lesimu. Amola di da dunu enoga dia hou ofa: ma: ne hogoi helesea, amo da dia hou wadela: lesimu.
28 Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
Dia mihanasu hou gumimusa: hame dawa: sea, di da gasa hame moilai bai bagade amo ea gagoi da mugululi sa: i agoai ba: sa.
