Proverbs 10
1 A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow 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 wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver 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 the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
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 slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.
Aka ndị umengwụ na-eweta ogbenye, ma aka na-arụsị ọrụ ike na-eweta ụba.
5 He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the 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 upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Onye ezi omume na-anata ngọzị, ma naanị nkọcha jupụtara nʼọnụ onye ajọ omume.
7 The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.
Aha onye ezi omume ka eji enye ngọzị, ma aha onye ajọ omume ga-ere ure.
8 The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
Onye obi ya maara ihe na-anabata ihe e nyere nʼiwu, ma onye nzuzu ekwurekwu ga-ala nʼiyi.
9 He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.
Onye ụzọ ya ziri ezi na-aga ije nʼatụghị egwu, ma onye ụzọ ya ezighị ezi ka a ga-achọpụta.
10 He that winketh with the eye shall cause 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 wicked covereth iniquity.
Ọnụ onye ezi omume bụ isi iyi nke ndụ, ma naanị nkọcha jupụtara nʼọnụ onye ajọ omume.
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.
Ịkpọ asị na-akpali esemokwu, ma ịhụnanya na-ekpuchi mmehie niile.
13 In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
Ndị nwere nghọta na-ekwu okwu nwere isi, ma ndị na-enweghị uche ka a na-eti ihe dịka ohu.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
Onye amamihe na-akpakọba ihe ọmụma, ma onye nzuzu na-eji ọnụ ya akpọ ịla nʼiyi oku.
15 The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
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 wicked, 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, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth 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 hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.
Onye ji egbugbere ọnụ ụgha ekpuchi ịkpọ asị na onye na-agbasa okwu nkwutọ bụ onye nzuzu.
19 In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.
Nʼọtụtụ okwu mmehie adịghị akwụsị ma ndị nwere uche na-ejide ire ha.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.
Ire nke onye ezi omume bụ ọlaọcha kachasị mma, ma obi onye ajọ omume bụ ihe ọnụahịa nta.
21 The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.
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 maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.
Ngọzị Onyenwe anyị na-eme mmadụ ọgaranya, ọ naghị atụkwasị ya nsogbu.
23 A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: 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 That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
Ihe ahụ onye na-emebi iwu nʼatụ ụjọ ya ga-abịakwasị ya, ihe onye ezi omume na-achọ ka a ga-enye ya.
25 As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as 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 As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that 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 shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall 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 joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
Olileanya ndị ezi omume ga-abụ ọṅụ; olileanya ndị na-emebi iwu bụ naanị ihe efu.
29 The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that 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 shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on 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 perverse shall 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 wicked uttereth perverse things.
Egbugbere ọnụ onye ezi omume mara ihe na-eweta ihuọma, ma ọnụ ndị ajọ omume bụ naanị okwu nduhie.
