Proverbs 10
1 A wise son gladdens the father. Yet truly, a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
Ilu dị iche iche nke Solomọn: Nwata maara ihe na-eme ka nna ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ; ma nwantakịrị dị nzuzu na-ewetara nne ya nʼiru ụjụ.
2 Treasures of impiety will profit nothing. Truly, justice shall liberate from death.
Akụ a kpatara nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi adịghị aba uru, ma ezi omume na-azọpụta mmadụ site nʼọnwụ.
3 The Lord will not afflict with famine the soul of the just, and he will overthrow the treacheries of the impious.
Onyenwe anyị agaghị ekwe ka onye ezi omume nwụọ nʼagụụ, ọ gakwaghị ekwe ka ihe nọgide na-agara onye ajọ omume nke ọma.
4 The neglectful hand has wrought destitution. But the hand of the steadfast prepares riches. He who advances by lies, this one feeds on the wind. For he is the same as one who runs after flying birds.
Aka ndị umengwụ na-eweta ogbenye, ma aka na-arụsị ọrụ ike na-eweta ụba.
5 He who gathers the harvest is a wise son. But he who snores in warm weather is a son of confusion.
Onye na-ekpokọta nʼoge ọkọchị bụ nwa maara ihe, ma nwa ahụ nke na-arahụ ụra nʼoge ọrụ bụ nwa na-eweta ihere.
6 The blessing of the Lord is on the head of the just. But iniquity covers the mouth of the impious.
Onye ezi omume na-anata ngọzị, ma naanị nkọcha jupụtara nʼọnụ onye ajọ omume.
7 The remembrance of the just is with praises. And the name of the impious shall decay.
Aha onye ezi omume ka eji enye ngọzị, ma aha onye ajọ omume ga-ere ure.
8 The wise of heart accept precepts. The foolish are cut down by the lips.
Onye obi ya maara ihe na-anabata ihe e nyere nʼiwu, ma onye nzuzu ekwurekwu ga-ala nʼiyi.
9 He who walks in simplicity walks in confidence. But he who corrupts his ways shall be discovered.
Onye ụzọ ya ziri ezi na-aga ije nʼatụghị egwu, ma onye ụzọ ya ezighị ezi ka a ga-achọpụta.
10 He who winks with the eye gives sorrow. And the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
Onye ọbụla na-egbu ikuanya na-ebute ihe mwute, onye nzuzu ekwurekwu ga-abịa nʼịla nʼiyi.
11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life. And the mouth of the impious covers iniquity.
Ọnụ onye ezi omume bụ isi iyi nke ndụ, ma naanị nkọcha jupụtara nʼọnụ onye ajọ omume.
12 Hatred rises up from disputes. And charity covers all offenses.
Ịkpọ asị na-akpali esemokwu, ma ịhụnanya na-ekpuchi mmehie niile.
13 In the lips of the wise, wisdom is discovered. And a rod is for the back of one who lacks heart.
Ndị nwere nghọta na-ekwu okwu nwere isi, ma ndị na-enweghị uche ka a na-eti ihe dịka ohu.
14 The wise store away knowledge. But the mouth of the foolish is a neighbor to confusion.
Onye amamihe na-akpakọba ihe ọmụma, ma onye nzuzu na-eji ọnụ ya akpọ ịla nʼiyi oku.
15 The substance of the rich is the city of his strength. The fear of the poor is their destitution.
Akụ ndị ọgaranya bụrụ ha obodo e wusiri ike, ma ụbịam bụ ịla nʼiyi nke ndị ogbenye.
16 The work of the just is unto life. But the fruit of the impious is unto sin.
Ụgwọ ọrụ onye ezi omume bụ ndụ, ma ihe nweta nke onye ajọ omume bụ mmehie na ọnwụ.
17 The way of life is for those who observe discipline. But whoever abandons correction wanders astray.
Onye na-ege ntị na ndụmọdụ na-egosi ụzọ nke ndụ, ma onye na-adịghị anabata ndụmọdụ na-eme ka ndị ọzọ kpafuo.
18 Lying lips conceal hatred; whoever brings forth contempt is unwise.
Onye ji egbugbere ọnụ ụgha ekpuchi ịkpọ asị na onye na-agbasa okwu nkwutọ bụ onye nzuzu.
19 In a multitude of speaking, sin will not be lacking. But whoever tempers his lips is most prudent.
Nʼọtụtụ okwu mmehie adịghị akwụsị ma ndị nwere uche na-ejide ire ha.
20 The tongue of the just is choice silver. But the heart of the impious is exchanged for nothing.
Ire nke onye ezi omume bụ ọlaọcha kachasị mma, ma obi onye ajọ omume bụ ihe ọnụahịa nta.
21 The lips of the just instruct many. But those who are unlearned shall die in destitution of heart.
Egbugbere ọnụ onye ezi omume na-azụju ọtụtụ mmadụ afọ, ma ndị nzuzu na-anwụ nʼihi amamihe nke kọrọ ha.
22 The blessing of the Lord causes riches. Affliction will not be a companion to them.
Ngọzị Onyenwe anyị na-eme mmadụ ọgaranya, ọ naghị atụkwasị ya nsogbu.
23 The foolish work wickedness as if in jest. But wisdom is prudence to a man.
Ihe na-atọ onye nzuzu ụtọ bụ izube nzube ọjọọ; ma ihe na-atọ onye maara ihe ụtọ bụ inwe nghọta.
24 What the impious fear will overwhelm them. The just shall be given their desire.
Ihe ahụ onye na-emebi iwu nʼatụ ụjọ ya ga-abịakwasị ya, ihe onye ezi omume na-achọ ka a ga-enye ya.
25 Like a passing tempest, so the impious one will be no more. But the just one is like an everlasting foundation.
Mgbe oke ifufe na-emebi ihe, ndị na-emebi iwu ka ọ na-eburu; ma ndị ezi omume na-eguzosi ike ruo ebighị ebi.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is a lazy one to those who sent him.
Onye umengwụ na-abụ ihe mgbu nye onyenwe ya; ọ dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nʼanya mmadụ maọbụ dịka mmanya gbara ụka nke na-ejiji eze.
27 The fear of the Lord adds days. And the years of the impious will be shortened.
Ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye ogologo ndụ, ma ọnụọgụgụ afọ nke onye ajọ omume na-adị mkpụmkpụ.
28 The expectation of the just is rejoicing. But the hope of the impious will perish.
Olileanya ndị ezi omume ga-abụ ọṅụ; olileanya ndị na-emebi iwu bụ naanị ihe efu.
29 The strength of the simple is the way of the Lord, and it is fear to those who work evil.
Ụzọ Onyenwe anyị bụ ebe mgbaba nye ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta, maọbụ ịla nʼiyi nye ndị na-eme ajọ ihe.
30 The just in eternity shall not be moved. But the impious will not live upon the earth.
A pụghị iwezuga onye ezi omume, ma onye na-emebi iwu agaghị anọgide.
31 The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom. The tongue of the depraved will perish.
Nʼọnụ onye ezi omume ka mkpụrụ amamihe si abịa, ma ire na-ekwu okwu nduhie ka a ga-eme ka o dere duu.
32 The lips of the just consider what is acceptable. And the mouth of the impious considers perversities.
Egbugbere ọnụ onye ezi omume mara ihe na-eweta ihuọma, ma ọnụ ndị ajọ omume bụ naanị okwu nduhie.
