Proverbs 27
1 Don't boast about what you're going to do tomorrow, because you don't know what the day may bring.
Má ṣe yangàn nítorí ọ̀la nítorí o kò mọ ohun tí ọjọ́ kan le è mú wáyé.
2 Let others praise you, not you yourself; someone else, not you personally.
Jẹ́ kí ẹlòmíràn yìn ọ́ dípò ẹnu ara rẹ, àní àlejò, kí ó má sì ṣe ètè ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀.
3 Stone may be heavy, and sand may weigh a lot, but the annoyance caused by stupid people is the biggest burden of all.
Òkúta wúwo, erùpẹ̀ sì wúwo ṣùgbọ́n ìbínú aṣiwèrè wúwo ju méjèèjì lọ.
4 Fury may be fierce and cruel, anger may be a destructive flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
Ìbínú ni ìkà, ìrunú sì burú púpọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le è dúró níwájú owú?
5 Open criticism is better than hidden love.
Ìbániwí gbangba sàn ju ìfẹ́ ìkọ̀kọ̀ lọ.
6 A friend's honest comments may hurt you, but an enemy's kisses are over the top.
Òtítọ́ ni ọgbẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹnukonu ọ̀tá ni ẹ̀tàn.
7 If you're full up, you can't face honey; but if you're starving, even bitter food tastes sweet.
Kódà oyin kò dùn lẹ́nu ẹni tí ó ti yó ṣùgbọ́n òróǹró gan an dùn lẹ́nu ẹni tí ebi ń pa.
8 Having to leave home is like a bird having to leave its nest.
Bí ẹyẹ tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò níbi ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ènìyàn tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò ní ilé rẹ̀.
9 Perfume and scented oils make you feel happy, but good advice from a friend is even better.
Ìpara olóòórùn dídùn àti tùràrí ń mú ayọ̀ wá sínú ọkàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni inú dídùn láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀rẹ́ ń wá láti inú ìmọ̀ràn tí ó ṣàkóso.
10 Don't give up on your friends or your family's friends. Don't go to a relative's house when you've got trouble. A friend nearby is more useful than a relative far away.
Má ṣe kọ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ àti ọ̀rẹ́ baba rẹ sílẹ̀, má sì ṣe lọ sílé arákùnrin rẹ nígbà tí ìdààmú dé bá ọ ó sàn kí o jẹ́ aládùúgbò tí ó súnmọ́ ni ju arákùnrin tí ó jìnnà sí ni.
11 My son, make me happy by being wise, so I can respond to anyone who criticizes me.
Gbọ́n, ọmọ mi, kí o sì mú ayọ̀ wá sínú ọkàn mi nígbà náà ni mo le dá gbogbo ẹni tí ó bá kẹ́gàn mi.
12 If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and suffer the consequences.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n rí ewu, ó sì fi ara pamọ́ ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n rí, kàkà kí ó dúró ó tẹ̀síwájú, ó sì jìyà rẹ̀.
13 If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to an immoral woman!
Gba aṣọ ẹni tí ó ṣe onídùúró fún àjèjì fi ṣe ẹ̀rí ìdúró bí o bá ṣe onídùúró fún obìnrin oníṣekúṣe.
14 If when you get up every morning you shout a loud hello to your neighbors, they will see that as a curse!
Bí ènìyàn kan ń kígbe súre fún aládùúgbò rẹ ní òwúrọ̀ a ó kà á sí bí èpè.
15 An argumentative wife is as irritating as constant dripping on a rainy day.
Àyà tí ó máa ń jà dàbí ọ̀wààrà òjò ní ọjọ́ tí òjò ń rọ̀;
16 Trying to stop her is like trying to make the wind stop or trying to hold olive oil in your hand.
dídá a lẹ́kun dàbí ìgbà tí ènìyàn ń dá afẹ́fẹ́ lẹ́kun tàbí bí ẹni tí ó gbá òróró.
17 An iron blade is sharpened with an iron tool, and one person's mind is sharpened by another's.
Bí irin tí ń pọ́n irin mú bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn kan ń pọ́n ẹlòmíràn mú.
18 Those who care for a fig tree eat its fruit, and those who care for their master are rewarded.
Ẹni tí ó tọ́jú igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ yóò jẹ èso rẹ̀ ẹni tí ó sì fojú tó ọ̀gá rẹ̀ yóò gba ọlá.
19 Just as water reflects your face, your mind reflects who you really are.
Bí omi tí ń ṣe àfihàn ojú, nígbà tí a bá wò ó bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkàn ènìyàn ń ṣe àfihàn ènìyàn.
20 In the same way that the grave and destruction are never satisfied, human desire is never satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
Kò tẹ́ ikú àti ìparun lọ́rùn rí bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni ojú ènìyàn kò rí ìtẹ́lọ́rùn rí. (Sheol h7585)
21 Just as a crucible tests silver, and a furnace tests gold, people are tested by the praise they receive.
Iná fún fàdákà iná ìléru fún wúrà, ṣùgbọ́n a ń dán ènìyàn wò nípa ìyìn tí ó ń gbà.
22 Even if you ground stupid people in a mortar, crushing them like grain with the pestle, you can't get rid of stupidity from them.
Bí a tilẹ̀ gún aláìgbọ́n nínú odó, fi ọmọ odó gún un bí èlùbọ́ ìwọ kì yóò le è yọ ìwà òmùgọ̀ rẹ̀ kúrò ní inú rẹ̀.
23 You should know the condition of your flocks really well and take good care of your herds,
Rí i dájú pé o mọ ipò tí àwọn agbo àgùntàn rẹ wà bojútó àwọn agbo màlúù rẹ dáradára;
24 for wealth doesn't last forever—is a crown passed down through all generations?
nítorí ọrọ̀ kì í pẹ́ lọ títí adé kì í sì í wà lórí títí láéláé.
25 Once the hay is cut, and the new growth begins, and fodder from the mountains is gathered,
Nígbà tí a bá kó koríko, ewéko tuntun yóò sì hù jáde, a ó sì kó koríko àwọn orí òkè wọlé
26 and the lambs have provided you wool to make clothing, and the sale of goats have paid for a field,
àwọn àgùntàn yóò pèsè aṣọ fún ọ, àti ewúrẹ́ yóò pèsè owó oko.
27 there'll be enough milk from your goats to feed you, your family, and your servant girls.
Ìwọ yóò ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàrà ewúrẹ́ láti bọ́ ọ àti ìdílé rẹ àti láti tọ́jú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.
