Proverbs 29
1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and without remedy.
Ẹni tí ó sì ń ṣorí kunkun lẹ́yìn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìbáwí yóò parun lójijì láìsí àtúnṣe.
2 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Nígbà tí olódodo bá ń gbilẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn a yọ̀ nígbà tí ènìyàn búburú ń ṣàkóso, àwọn ènìyàn ń kórìíra.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that is a companion of harlots destroyeth [his] substance.
Ènìyàn tí ó fẹ́ràn ọgbọ́n mú kí baba rẹ̀ láyọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni ti ń bá panṣágà kẹ́gbẹ́ ba ọrọ̀ ọ rẹ̀ jẹ́.
4 A king by just judgment establisheth the land; but he that taketh gifts overthroweth it.
Nípa ìdájọ́ òdodo ni ọba fi í mú ìlú tòrò nini, ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí ń ṣe ojúkòkòrò àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ fà á lulẹ̀.
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tan aládùúgbò rẹ̀ ó ń dẹ àwọ̀n de ẹsẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous shall sing and rejoice.
Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ènìyàn ibi ni ó jẹ́ ìdẹ̀kùn rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n olódodo le è kọrin kí ó sì máa yọ̀.
7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
Olódodo ń máa ro ọ̀rọ̀ tálákà, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú kò sú sí i láti rò ó.
8 Scornful men set the city in a flame; but the wise turn away anger.
Àwọn ẹlẹ́yà a máa ru ìlú sókè, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn máa ń mú ìbínú kúrò.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a fool, whether he rage or laugh, [he] hath no rest.
Bí ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn bá lọ sí ilé ẹjọ́ pẹ̀lú aláìgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n a máa bínú a sì máa jà, kò sì ní sí àlàáfíà.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the perfect, but the upright care for his soul.
Àwọn tí ó ń tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ kò rí ẹni dídúró ṣinṣin wọ́n sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa olódodo.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind; but a wise [man] keepeth it back.
Aláìgbọ́n ènìyàn fi gbogbo ẹnu rẹ̀ bínú ṣùgbọ́n ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn a máa kó ìbínú rẹ̀ ní ìjánu.
12 If a ruler hearken to lying words, all his servants are wicked.
Bí olórí bá fetí sí irọ́, gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ a di ènìyàn búburú lójú rẹ̀.
13 The indigent and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.
Tálákà ènìyàn àti aninilára jọ ní àbùdá yìí, Olúwa jẹ́ kí ojú àwọn méjèèjì máa ríran.
14 A king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
Bí ọba kan bá ń ṣe ìdájọ́ tálákà pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ yóò fìdímúlẹ̀ nígbà gbogbo.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.
Ọ̀pá ìbániwí ń fún ni ní ọgbọ́n ṣùgbọ́n ọmọ tí a fi sílẹ̀ fúnra rẹ̀ a dójútì ìyá rẹ̀.
16 When the wicked increase, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall see their fall.
Nígbà tí ènìyàn búburú ń gbilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ń gbilẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò rí ìṣubú wọn.
17 Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest, and shall give delight unto thy soul.
Bá ọmọ rẹ wí, yóò sì fún ọ ní àlàáfíà yóò sì mú inú dídùn wá sí inú ọkàn rẹ.
18 Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint; but happy is he that keepeth the law.
Níbi tí kò ti sí ìfihàn, àwọn ènìyàn a gbé ìgbé ayé àìbìkítà, ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ní fún àwọn tí ń pa òfin mọ́.
19 A servant is not corrected by words: he understandeth indeed, but he will not answer.
A kò le fi ọ̀rọ̀ lásán kìlọ̀ fún ìránṣẹ́ bí ó tilẹ̀ yé e, kò ní kọbi ara sí i.
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Ǹjẹ́ ó rí ènìyàn tí ń kánjú sọ̀rọ̀? Ìrètí wà fún aláìgbọ́n jù ú lọ.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child, shall in the end have him as a son.
Bí ènìyàn kan bá kẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lákẹ̀ẹ́jù láti kékeré yóò mú ìbànújẹ́ wá ní ìgbẹ̀yìn.
22 An angry man exciteth contention; and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
Oníbìínú ènìyàn a ru ìjà sókè, onínú-fùfù ènìyàn a sì máa dá ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
23 A man's pride bringeth him low; but the humble in spirit shall obtain honour.
Ìgbéraga ènìyàn a máa sọ ọ́ di ẹni ilẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ènìyàn a máa gba iyì kún iyì.
24 Whoso shareth with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration, and declareth not.
Ẹni tí ó ń kó ẹgbẹ́, olè kórìíra ọkàn ara rẹ̀, ó ń gbọ́ èpè olóhun kò sì le è fọhùn.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his confidence in Jehovah is protected.
Ìbẹ̀rù ènìyàn kan yóò sì di ìdẹ̀kùn ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa wà láìléwu.
26 Many seek the ruler's face; but a man's right judgment is from Jehovah.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni ń wá ojúrere alákòóso, ṣùgbọ́n láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ni ènìyàn tí ń gba ìdájọ́ òdodo.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is of upright way is an abomination to the wicked [man].
Olódodo kórìíra àwọn aláìṣòótọ́: ènìyàn búburú kórìíra olódodo.
