Proverbs 13
1 A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ gba ẹ̀kọ́ baba rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́gàn kò gbọ́ ìbáwí.
2 Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.
Láti inú èso ẹnu rẹ̀ ènìyàn ń gbádùn ohun rere, ṣùgbọ́n, ìfẹ́ ọkàn aláìṣòótọ́ ní ìwà ipá.
3 He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ṣọ́ ẹnu rẹ̀ pa ẹnu ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ gbàù gbàù yóò parun.
4 The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.
Ọkàn ọ̀lẹ ń fẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò rí nǹkan kan, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn àwọn ti kì í ṣe ọ̀lẹ rí ìtẹ́lọ́rùn.
5 The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.
Olódodo kórìíra ohun tí í ṣe irọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú hu ìwà ìríra àti ìtìjú.
6 Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
Òdodo ń ṣamọ̀nà ènìyàn olóòtítọ́ inú, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà búburú ṣí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ní ipò.
7 One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.
Ènìyàn kan díbọ́n bí ẹni tí ó ní ọrọ̀ síbẹ̀ kò ní nǹkan kan ẹlòmíràn díbọ́n bí i tálákà, síbẹ̀ ó ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀.
8 The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.
Ọrọ̀ ènìyàn le è ra ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n tálákà kì í gbọ́ ìdẹ́rùbà.
9 The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ olódodo tàn roro, ṣùgbọ́n fìtílà ènìyàn búburú ni a pa kú.
10 Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
Ìgbéraga máa ń dá ìjà sílẹ̀ ni ṣùgbọ́n ọgbọ́n wà nínú àwọn tí ń gba ìmọ̀ràn.
11 Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
Owó tí a fi ọ̀nà èrú kójọ yóò ṣí lọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń kó owó jọ díẹ̀díẹ̀ yóò pọ̀ sí i.
12 Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
Ìrètí tí ń falẹ̀ máa ń mú kí ọkàn ṣàárẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí tí a rí gbà jẹ́ igi ìyè.
13 Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
Ẹni tí ó kẹ́gàn ẹ̀kọ́ yóò jìyà rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó pa àṣẹ mọ́ gba èrè rẹ̀.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.
Ìkọ́ni ọlọ́gbọ́n jẹ́ orísun ìyè, tí ń yí ènìyàn padà kúrò nínú ìdẹ̀kùn ikú.
15 Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
Òye pípé ń mú ni rí ojúrere, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà aláìṣòótọ́ kì í tọ́jọ́.
16 The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.
Gbogbo olóye ènìyàn máa ń hùwà pẹ̀lú ìmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n a fi ìwà òmùgọ̀ rẹ̀ hàn.
17 The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
Ìránṣẹ́ búburú bọ́ sínú ìdààmú ṣùgbọ́n aṣojú olóòtítọ́ mú ìwòsàn wá.
18 Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified.
Ẹni tí ó kọ ìbáwí yóò di tálákà yóò sì rí ìtìjú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí ni yóò rí ọlá.
19 The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things.
Ìfẹ́ tí a mú ṣẹ dùn mọ́ ọkàn ṣùgbọ́n ìríra ni fún aṣiwèrè láti kúrò nínú ibi.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them.
Ẹni tí ó ń bá ọlọ́gbọ́n rìn yóò gbọ́n ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń bá aláìgbọ́n kẹ́gbẹ́ ń pa ara rẹ̀ lára.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid.
Òsì a máa ta ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọrọ̀ ni èrè fún olódodo.
22 The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just.
Ènìyàn rere a máa fi ogún sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n, a kó ọrọ̀ àwọn tó dẹ́ṣẹ̀ pamọ́ fún àwọn olódodo.
23 Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment.
Ilẹ̀ ẹ tálákà le è mú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìre oko wá ṣùgbọ́n àìṣòdodo gbá gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ.
24 He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.
Ẹni tí ó fa ọwọ́ ìbáwí sẹ́yìn kórìíra ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò máa bá a wí.
25 The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled.
Olódodo jẹ́wọ́ títí ó fi tẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ lọ́rùn ṣùgbọ́n ebi yóò máa pa ikùn ènìyàn búburú.
