Proverbs 27
1 Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
Aya hamomu hou amo mae gaguia gadole hidale ilegema. Be di da fa: no misunu hou hame dawa:
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
Eno dunu amola degabo ba: i dunu da dima nodone ofa: mu da defea. Be di da dina: maedafa ofa: ma.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
Igi amola boso amola da dioi bagade. Be gagaoui dunu ea mosolasu hamoi da amo dioi baligisa.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
Udigili mi hanai hou da dodona: gi amola dunu eno wadela: lesisa. Be mudasu hou da dunu eno baligili wadela: lesisa.
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
Di da dunu eno ea hou afadenema: ne gagabole sia: musa: dawa: sea, mae wamolegele, hima odagia sia: mu da defea. Agoane hame hamosea, di da ema hame asigisa e da dawa: mu.
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
Dia dogolegei da di fidima: ne, dima odagia sia: sea, se iaha. Be dima ha lai dunu da dima nonogole, asigiwane sia: sea, dawa: ma: i!
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
Di da ha: i mai amo sadisia da agime hano hedai ha: i manu higasa. Be di da ha: i bagadedafa ba: sea, ha: i manu gamogai da hedai ba: sa.
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
Dunu hina: fifilasu yolesili udigili lalebe ea hou da sio ea musugai amo da: iya mae diaheda: le, fisili asi agoai gala.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
Susuligi amola gabusiga: na manoma ulasea da dia da: i noga: le hisisa. Be dima bidi hamosu doaga: sea, dia asigi dawa: su noga: i da dafane goudane fofonoboi agoai ba: sa.
10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
Dia dogolegei amola dia ada ea dogolegei dunu amo mae gogolema. Mosolasu da dima doaga: sea, dia oladafa amo ea fidima: ne mae adole ba: ma. Be dia na: iyado, di gadenene esalebe, amo ea da di noga: le fidimu. Be dia oladafa da badiliadafaba: le, di noga: le hame fidimu.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
Na mano, dawa: su noga: i lama! Amasea, na da hahawane ba: mu. Amola dunu eno da nama gadele sia: sea, na da ilima adole imunusa: dawa: mu.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
Noga: le molole dawa: su dunu ilia da bidi doaga: su manebe hedolo ba: sa, amola gaga: sa. Be noga: le hame dawa: su dunu da amo bidi doaga: su amo noga: le hame ba: beba: le, amodili ahoa. Amola fa: no e da bu da: i dione dawa: sa.
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
Degabo ba: i dunu da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sea, be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunu sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa. Amola degabo ba: i dunu da bidi bu hame iasea, bidi iasu dunu da gagaoui dunu amo ea soge lamu da defea.
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
Di da dia dogolegei amo hahabe golai dialebe amo nedigima: ne ha: giniwane halaga: la: sea, e da fofogadigili se nabimu. Amo hou da ema gagabusu aligima: ne agoai ba: sa.
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
Uda gesa: gesa: i ea hou da gibu dasea dadadibi agoai ba: sa.
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
Di da gesa: gesa: i uda ea hou habodane ouiya: ma: ne sia: ma: bela: ? Dia loboga fo mabe gagumusa: dawa: bela: ? Dia loboga susuligi usuna gagumusa: dawa: bela: ?
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
Ouli aduna ele degenana mebe agoai gala. Amo defele, dunu aduna da gilisili sia: dasea, ela galu dawa: lasa.
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
Figi ifa noga: le ouligisia, di da figi fage manu galebe. Hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina dunu noga: le ouligisia, hina dunu da e nodone ouligimu.
19 Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
Di da hanoa gudu ba: le gudusia, dina: baba ba: sa. Amola dia dogo ba: sea, dia asigi dawa: su houdafa ba: sa.
Bogosu soge da hamedafa nabamu. Amaiwane, osobo bagade dunu da liligi hanai gala. Amola sadimu hame dawa: (Sheol h7585)
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
Dunu da gouli amola silifa amola laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, dunu ilia da eno dunu ea hou adoba: sa.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
Di da gagaoui dunu fanana, fanana, e bogomu gadenesea fawane fisisa, be ea gagaoui hou fadegale fasimu hamedei agoane ba: mu.
23 Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
Dia sibi amola bulamagau noga: le dawa: le ouligima.
24 for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
Bai liligi gagui hou da ebelemu. Amola fifi asi gala huluane da dagomusa: dawa: la.
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
Di da bulamagau ha: i manu gisi bugi amo huluane none dagosea, eno gisi da heda: sea, gisi amo da agolo la: idi gala nosa.
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
Di da sibi ilia hinaboga, abula amunimu amola goudi bidi lale, muni lai amoga soge eno bidi lamu.
27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
Amola goudi eno hame bidi lai lelebe, amoga di da dodo maga: me dia sosogo fi amola dia hawa: hamosu a: fini huluane defele moma: ne dimusa: dawa: mu.
