Proverbs 18
1 For [an object of] desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.
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 delighteth not in understanding, But — in uncovering his heart.
Gagaoui dunu da noga: le dawa: mu hihisa. E da hi dawa: su fawane noga: iyale dawa: le, eno dunuma olelesa.
3 With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And with shame — reproach.
Wadela: i hou ea dabe da gogosiasu. Di da dia noga: i hou fisisia, dunu eno ilia dia hou hihi ba: mu.
4 Deep waters [are] the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom [is] 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 Acceptance of the face of the wicked [is] not good, To turn aside 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 The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.
Gagaoui dunu da sia: ga gegesu hemosea, e da enoga e fama: ne logo doasisa.
7 The mouth of a fool [is] ruin to him, 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 self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart.
Baligiduli sia: su da hedaidafa. Osobo bagade dunu da amo da: gimusa: hanai gala.
9 He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he [is] to a destroyer.
Hihi dabuli dunu ea hou da liligi wadela: su dunu amo ea hou defele ba: sa.
10 A tower of strength [is] the name of Jehovah, Into it the righteous runneth, and is set on high.
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 wealth of the rich [is] the city of his strength, And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.
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 high, And before honour [is] humility.
Dunu eno da asaboi dunu ilima fawane nodosa. Be gasa fi dunu da hedolowane dafamu.
13 Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.
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 sustaineth his sickness, And a smitten spirit who doth 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 intelligent 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 The gift of a man maketh room for him, And before the great it leadeth him.
Di da mimogo dunu gousa: musa: dawa: bela: ? Defea! Hahawane dogolegele iasu ema ianu, e gousa: ma.
17 Righteous [is] the first in his own cause, His neighbour cometh and hath searched 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 between the mighty it separateth.
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 transgressed against is as a strong city, And contentions as the bar of a palace.
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 From the fruit of a man's mouth is his belly satisfied, [From the] increase of his lips he is satisfied.
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 those loving it eat its fruit.
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 [Whoso] hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.
Uda hogole ba: sea, liligi noga: i ba: mu. Hina Gode da dima asigiba: le, uda noga: iwane dima iaha.
23 [With] supplications doth the poor speak, And the rich answereth fierce things.
Hame gagui dunu da asaboiwane adole ba: sa e fidima: ne, be bagade gagui dunu da gasa fiwane sia: sa.
24 A man with friends [is] to show himself friendly, And there is a lover adhering more 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.
