586. Ku la tooñ, bul feyyu. (13)<br />
Do not repay him who does you harm.<br />
Do not say, "I’ll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the LORD, and he will<br />
deliver you. (Proverbs 20:22 NIV)<br />
"You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell<br />
you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn<br />
to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let<br />
him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him<br />
two miles. (Matthew 5:38-41 NIV)<br />
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse... Do not repay anyone evil<br />
for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible,<br />
as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge,<br />
my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to<br />
avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry,<br />
feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will<br />
heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil<br />
with good. (Romans 12:14, 17-21 NIV)<br />
587. Ku bëgg ku la duma, tooñal ku la mën. (2)<br />
If you want to be beaten up, then offend someone who is stronger than you.<br />
588. Ku am nit ñi, ñàkkoo dara. Ku ñàkk nit ñi, amoo dara. (2,15)<br />
Whoever has friends lacks nothing. Whoever does not have friends does not have<br />
anything.<br />
It is through relationships with others that our needs are met and our potential is able to<br />
develop.<br />
589. Lépp a ngi ci nit ñi. (19)<br />
Everything is with people.<br />
You should have as many friends as you can in order to be able to solve any problem<br />
you'll have in the future.<br />
590. Lu waay ñàkk, waayam a ko amul. (2,3,5)<br />
If an individual lacks something, it is because his friend does not have it.<br />
Friends share their belongings. Between two friends, if one of them is missing something,<br />
it is because the other doesn't have it either.<br />
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17<br />
NIV)<br />
591. Néew, bu rombeey armeel, robam dootul neex. (2,3,6)<br />
The burial of a corpse, once it has bypassed the cemetery, will no longer be easy.<br />
An uncle asks his nephew to give him a bag of rice. The nephew told him that he could<br />
not. A little while later the nephew loaned money to a neighbour. The uncle learnt of this,<br />
and being very unhappy he went to find his nephew and told him this proverb.<br />
592. Su àndub ñaar yàggee, kenn a muñ. (6,15)<br />
If two people manage to keep company for a long time, it is certain that one of<br />
them has been patient.<br />
It is patience and tolerance which permits long term relationships.<br />
