Proverbs 11
1 False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
Ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ bụ arụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ma ihe ọtụtụ zuru ezu na-anata ihuọma nʼebe ọ nọ.
2 When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
Nganga bịa, nlelị a na-eso ya, ma onye dị umeala nʼobi na-amụta ihe.
3 The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
Eziokwu nke ndị ziri ezi nʼobi na-edu ha; ma omume gbagọrọ agbagọ nke ndị aghụghọ nʼala ha nʼiyi.
4 Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
Akụnụba gị agaghị azọpụta gị nʼụbọchị ikpe; ọ bụ naanị ezi omume na-anapụta site nʼọnwụ.
5 The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
Ezi omume nke ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na-eme ka ụzọ ha zie ezi, ma ajọ omume nke ndị na-emebi iwu na-akwada ha.
6 The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
Ezi omume nke onye ziri ezi na-azọpụta ya; ma ọchịchọ ọjọọ nke ndị na-aghọ aghụghọ ka a ga-eji jide ha.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
Mgbe onye ajọ omume nwụrụ, olileanya ya niile alala nʼiyi, ihe niile ọ na-ele anya inweta site nʼike ya alaakwala nʼiyi.
8 The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
Chineke na-azọpụta ndị ezi omume site na nsogbu ha, ma ndị ajọ omume ka ọ na-ahapụ ka ha daba nʼime ya.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
Okwu ọjọọ ka onye ajọ omume ji emebi onye agbataobi ya. Ma site nʼihe ọmụma ka onye ezi omume ga-eji dọpụta ndụ ya.
10 In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
Ọganihu nke onye ezi omume na-atọ mmadụ niile ụtọ, otu aka ahụ kwa, ọnwụ onye ajọ omume na-atọ mmadụ niile ụtọ.
11 By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
A na-esite na ngọzị nke ndị ziri ezi bulie obodo elu, ma a nʼala ya nʼiyi site nʼokwu ọnụ ndị ajọ omume.
12 He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
Ikwu okwu nleda megide onye agbataobi gị bụ nzuzu; ma onye ahụ nwere nghọta na-agba nkịtị.
13 Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
Onye na-agba asịrị na-ekpughe ihe nzuzo, ma onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi na-ekpuchi ihe nzuzo.
14 Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
Nʼihi enweghị ezi ndị ndu ka obodo ji ada, ma ọtụtụ ndị ezi ndụmọdụ na-eweta mmeri.
15 Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
Onye ọbụla na-ana onye ọbịa nʼakaebe ga-ata ahụhụ, ma onye jụrụ ịkwụ ụgwọ onye ọzọ ji, nọ na ntụkwasị obi.
16 A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
Nsọpụrụ na-adịrị nwanyị nwere obiọma, ma ndị na-adịghị eme ebere bụ naanị akụnụba ka ha na-enweta.
17 Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
Onye nwere obiọma baara onwe ya uru, ma onye nwere obi ọjọọ na-ewetara onwe ya nsogbu.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
Onye ajọ omume na-anata ụgwọ ọrụ aghụghọ, ma onye na-agha ezi omume dịka mkpụrụ na-anata ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri ekwesi.
19 As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
Onye na-eguzosi ike ime ihe ziri ezi ga-enwe ndụ; ma onye na-agbaso ihe ọjọọ ga-ahụ ọnwụ.
20 They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
Onyenwe anyị na-akpọ ndị obi ha gbagọrọ agbagọ asị ma ndị ụzọ ha na-enweghị ihe ịta ụta na-amasị ya.
21 Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
Ọ bụ ihe doro anya na ndị na-emebi iwu ga-ata ahụhụ, ma ndị ezi omume ka a ga-anapụta.
22 As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
Nwanyị mara mma, nke na-enweghị uche, dịka ọlaedo a gbanyere ezi nʼimi.
23 The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
Olileanya onye ezi omume bụ ọṅụ, ma onye na-emebi iwu na-ele naanị anya ihe ọjọọ.
24 There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
Otu onye na-agbasapụ aka ya na-enye enye ma na-enweta akụ karịa, ma onye ọzọ na-egbochi egbochi ma na-ada ogbenye.
25 The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
E, onye na-agbasa aka ya ga-aba ọgaranya; onye ọbụla na-atụte ndị ọzọ ka a ga-atụtekwa.
26 He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
Ndị mmadụ na-abụ onye na-achịkọba mkpụrụ ọka na-ereghị ya ere ọnụ, ma ha na-ekpetara onye nke dị njikere ire nke ya ngọzị Chineke.
27 He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
Onye na-achọ ihe ọma na-enweta ihuọma, ma ihe ọjọọ na-abịakwasị onye na-achọ ya.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
Ndị tụkwasịrị obi nʼakụnụba ha ga-ada, ma onye ezi omume ga-epupụta dịka akwụkwọ ndụ.
29 He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
Onye na-ewetara ezinaụlọ ha nsogbu ga-eketa naanị ifufe, onye nzuzu ga-abụ ohu nke onye maara ihe.
30 The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
Mkpụrụ nke ndị ezi omume bụ osisi na-enye ndụ, onye na-erita mkpụrụobi nʼuru bụ onye maara ihe.
31 Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
Ọ bụrụ na a ga-akwụ ndị ezi omume ụgwọ ọrụ ha nʼụwa a; a ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịkwụ ndị na-amaghị Chineke na ndị mmehie ụgwọ ọrụ.
