Proverbs 13
1 A wise son accepts his father's discipline, but a mocker doesn't listen to correction.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ gba ẹ̀kọ́ baba rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́gàn kò gbọ́ ìbáwí.
2 You'll be rewarded for saying good things, but dishonest people want violence.
Láti inú èso ẹnu rẹ̀ ènìyàn ń gbádùn ohun rere, ṣùgbọ́n, ìfẹ́ ọkàn aláìṣòótọ́ ní ìwà ipá.
3 Watch what you say and save your life—saying too much leads to disaster.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ṣọ́ ẹnu rẹ̀ pa ẹnu ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ gbàù gbàù yóò parun.
4 Lazy people want a lot, but get nothing; if you work hard you'll be well rewarded.
Ọkàn ọ̀lẹ ń fẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò rí nǹkan kan, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn àwọn ti kì í ṣe ọ̀lẹ rí ìtẹ́lọ́rùn.
5 Good people hate lies, but the wicked cause a stink and bring disgrace.
Olódodo kórìíra ohun tí í ṣe irọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú hu ìwà ìríra àti ìtìjú.
6 Goodness protects those who live right, but sin overcomes the wicked.
Òdodo ń ṣamọ̀nà ènìyàn olóòtítọ́ inú, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà búburú ṣí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ní ipò.
7 Some pretend to be rich, but don't have anything, while others pretend to be poor and are very rich.
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 rich can pay a ransom to save their lives, but the poor aren't troubled in this way.
Ọrọ̀ ènìyàn le è ra ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n tálákà kì í gbọ́ ìdẹ́rùbà.
9 The life of good people shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ olódodo tàn roro, ṣùgbọ́n fìtílà ènìyàn búburú ni a pa kú.
10 Pride only causes conflict; but those who take advice are wise.
Ìgbéraga máa ń dá ìjà sílẹ̀ ni ṣùgbọ́n ọgbọ́n wà nínú àwọn tí ń gba ìmọ̀ràn.
11 Wealth gained by fraud quickly disappears, but those who gather bit by bit prosper.
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's delayed makes you feel sick, but a wish that comes true revives you.
Ìrètí tí ń falẹ̀ máa ń mú kí ọkàn ṣàárẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí tí a rí gbà jẹ́ igi ìyè.
13 If you despise words of advice, you'll pay for it; but if you respect what you're told, you'll be rewarded.
Ẹni tí ó kẹ́gàn ẹ̀kọ́ yóò jìyà rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó pa àṣẹ mọ́ gba èrè rẹ̀.
14 The teaching of the wise is like a fountain of life, so you can avoid the snares of death.
Ìkọ́ni ọlọ́gbọ́n jẹ́ orísun ìyè, tí ń yí ènìyàn padà kúrò nínú ìdẹ̀kùn ikú.
15 Good sense earns appreciation, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
Òye pípé ń mú ni rí ojúrere, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà aláìṣòótọ́ kì í tọ́jọ́.
16 All wise people act intelligently, but stupid people demonstrate their stupidity.
Gbogbo olóye ènìyàn máa ń hùwà pẹ̀lú ìmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n a fi ìwà òmùgọ̀ rẹ̀ hàn.
17 A bad messenger creates trouble, but a faithful representative brings healing.
Ìránṣẹ́ búburú bọ́ sínú ìdààmú ṣùgbọ́n aṣojú olóòtítọ́ mú ìwòsàn wá.
18 Poverty and disgrace come to those who ignore instruction, but those who accept correction are honored.
Ẹni tí ó kọ ìbáwí yóò di tálákà yóò sì rí ìtìjú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí ni yóò rí ọlá.
19 It's nice to see a wish come true, but stupid people hate to turn away from evil to achieve this.
Ìfẹ́ tí a mú ṣẹ dùn mọ́ ọkàn ṣùgbọ́n ìríra ni fún aṣiwèrè láti kúrò nínú ibi.
20 Being friends with wise people will make you wise, but being friends with stupid people will only cause you problems.
Ẹni tí ó ń bá ọlọ́gbọ́n rìn yóò gbọ́n ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń bá aláìgbọ́n kẹ́gbẹ́ ń pa ara rẹ̀ lára.
21 Tragedy chases after the sinner, but prosperity rewards the good.
Òsì a máa ta ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọrọ̀ ni èrè fún olódodo.
22 Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner's wealth is saved for those who live right.
Ènìyàn rere a máa fi ogún sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n, a kó ọrọ̀ àwọn tó dẹ́ṣẹ̀ pamọ́ fún àwọn olódodo.
23 The unploughed ground of the poor could produce a lot of food, but it's stolen through injustice.
Ilẹ̀ ẹ tálákà le è mú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìre oko wá ṣùgbọ́n àìṣòdodo gbá gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ.
24 People who don't discipline their children hate them. Those who love their children carefully discipline them.
Ẹni tí ó fa ọwọ́ ìbáwí sẹ́yìn kórìíra ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò máa bá a wí.
25 The good eat until they're full; but the belly of the wicked is empty.
Olódodo jẹ́wọ́ títí ó fi tẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ lọ́rùn ṣùgbọ́n ebi yóò máa pa ikùn ènìyàn búburú.
