Proverbs 22
1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better 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 the poor have this in common: 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 sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
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 The result of humility and the fear of the LORD is wealth, 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 path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays 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 rule over the poor. 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 who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
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 who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
Di da mae hihini, dia ha: i manu mogili hame gagui dunuma iasea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
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 who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king’s 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 LORD’s eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
Hina Gode da dafawane sia: momagele legesa. Be E da ogogosu dunu ilia sia: wadela: lesisa.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed 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 an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under the LORD’s wrath will fall into it.
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 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives 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 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
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 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
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 you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
Amola di da amo olelebe noga: le dawa: sea, amola eno dunuma olelemusa: dawa: sea, di da hahawane ba: mu.
19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in the LORD.
Na da amo olelebe wali dima olelemu. Bai di noga: le nabalu, Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: mu, amo na da hanai galebe.
20 Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel 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 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
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 Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;
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 case, and plunder the life of those who plunder 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 Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
Dilia gasa fi nimi bagade dunu amo maedafa dogolegema.
25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
Di da amaiwane hou lasa: besa: le amola dia hou bu afadenemu hamedeiwane ba: sa: besa: le amo maedafa dogolegema.
26 Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral 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 you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
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 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up.
Musa: fi dunu ilia soge alalo ilegesu, amo maedafa gua: ma.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure 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.
