< Proverbs 27 >
1 Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Má ṣe yangàn nítorí ọ̀la nítorí o kò mọ ohun tí ọjọ́ kan le è mú wáyé.
2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thine owne mouth: a stranger, and not thine owne lips.
Jẹ́ kí ẹlòmíràn yìn ọ́ dípò ẹnu ara rẹ, àní àlejò, kí ó má sì ṣe ètè ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀.
3 A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both.
Òkúta wúwo, erùpẹ̀ sì wúwo ṣùgbọ́n ìbínú aṣiwèrè wúwo ju méjèèjì lọ.
4 Anger is cruell, and wrath is raging: but who can stand before enuie?
Ìbínú ni ìkà, ìrunú sì burú púpọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le è dúró níwájú owú?
5 Open rebuke is better then secret loue.
Ìbániwí gbangba sàn ju ìfẹ́ ìkọ̀kọ̀ lọ.
6 The wounds of a louer are faithful, and the kisses of an enemie are pleasant.
Òtítọ́ ni ọgbẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹnukonu ọ̀tá ni ẹ̀tàn.
7 The person that is full, despiseth an hony combe: but vnto the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete.
Kódà oyin kò dùn lẹ́nu ẹni tí ó ti yó ṣùgbọ́n òróǹró gan an dùn lẹ́nu ẹni tí ebi ń pa.
8 As a bird that wandreth from her nest, so is a man that wandreth from his owne place.
Bí ẹyẹ tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò níbi ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ènìyàn tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò ní ilé rẹ̀.
9 As oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart, so doeth the sweetenes of a mans friend by hearty counsell.
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 Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.
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 sonne, be wise, and reioyce mine heart, that I may answere him that reprocheth 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 A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himselfe: but the foolish goe on still, and are punished.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n rí ewu, ó sì fi ara pamọ́ ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n rí, kàkà kí ó dúró ó tẹ̀síwájú, ó sì jìyà rẹ̀.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger.
Gba aṣọ ẹni tí ó ṣe onídùúró fún àjèjì fi ṣe ẹ̀rí ìdúró bí o bá ṣe onídùúró fún obìnrin oníṣekúṣe.
14 He that prayseth his friend with a loude voyce, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.
Bí ènìyàn kan ń kígbe súre fún aládùúgbò rẹ ní òwúrọ̀ a ó kà á sí bí èpè.
15 A continual dropping in the day of raine, and a contentious woman are alike.
Àyà tí ó máa ń jà dàbí ọ̀wààrà òjò ní ọjọ́ tí òjò ń rọ̀;
16 He that hideth her, hideth the winde, and she is as ye oyle in his right hand, that vttereth it selfe.
dídá a lẹ́kun dàbí ìgbà tí ènìyàn ń dá afẹ́fẹ́ lẹ́kun tàbí bí ẹni tí ó gbá òróró.
17 Yron sharpeneth yron, so doeth man sharpen the face of his friend.
Bí irin tí ń pọ́n irin mú bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn kan ń pọ́n ẹlòmíràn mú.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eate the fruite thereof: so he that waiteth vpon his master, shall come to honour.
Ẹni tí ó tọ́jú igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ yóò jẹ èso rẹ̀ ẹni tí ó sì fojú tó ọ̀gá rẹ̀ yóò gba ọlá.
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
Bí omi tí ń ṣe àfihàn ojú, nígbà tí a bá wò ó bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkàn ènìyàn ń ṣe àfihàn ènìyàn.
20 The graue and destruction can neuer be full, so the eyes of man can neuer be satisfied. (Sheol )
Kò tẹ́ ikú àti ìparun lọ́rùn rí bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni ojú ènìyàn kò rí ìtẹ́lọ́rùn rí. (Sheol )
21 As is the fining pot for siluer and the fornace for golde, so is euery man according to his dignitie.
Iná fún fàdákà iná ìléru fún wúrà, ṣùgbọ́n a ń dán ènìyàn wò nípa ìyìn tí ó ń gbà.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate brayed with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnes depart from him.
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 Be diligent to know ye state of thy flocke, and take heede to the heardes.
Rí i dájú pé o mọ ipò tí àwọn agbo àgùntàn rẹ wà bojútó àwọn agbo màlúù rẹ dáradára;
24 For riches remaine not alway, nor the crowne from generation to generation.
nítorí ọrọ̀ kì í pẹ́ lọ títí adé kì í sì í wà lórí títí láéláé.
25 The hey discouereth it selfe, and the grasse appeareth, and the herbes of the mountaines are gathered.
Nígbà tí a bá kó koríko, ewéko tuntun yóò sì hù jáde, a ó sì kó koríko àwọn orí òkè wọlé
26 The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of the fielde.
àwọn àgùntàn yóò pèsè aṣọ fún ọ, àti ewúrẹ́ yóò pèsè owó oko.
27 And let the milke of the goates be sufficient for thy foode, for the foode of thy familie, and for the sustenance of thy maydes.
Ìwọ yóò ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàrà ewúrẹ́ láti bọ́ ọ àti ìdílé rẹ àti láti tọ́jú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.
