Proverbs 31
1 THE WORDS OF KING LEMUEL: The prophecie which his mother taught him.
Àwọn ọ̀rọ̀-ìjìnlẹ̀ ti Lemueli ọba, ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀kọ́ tí ìyá rẹ̀ kọ́ ọ,
2 What my sonne! and what ye sonne of my wombe! and what, O sonne of my desires!
“Gbọ́ ìwọ ọmọ mi, gbọ́ ìwọ ọmọ inú mi! Gbọ́ ìwọ ọmọ ẹ̀jẹ́ mi.
3 Giue not thy strength vnto women, nor thy wayes, which is to destroy Kings.
Má ṣe lo agbára rẹ lórí obìnrin, okun rẹ lórí àwọn tí ó pa àwọn ọba run.
4 It is not for Kings, O Lemuel, it is not for Kings to drink wine nor for princes strog drinke,
“Kì í ṣe fún àwọn ọba, ìwọ Lemueli, kì í ṣe fún ọba láti mu ọtí wáìnì, kì í ṣe fún alákòóso láti máa wá ọtí líle,
5 Lest he drinke and forget the decree, and change the iudgement of all the children of affliction.
kí wọn má ba à mu ọtí yó kí wọn sì gbàgbé ohun tí òfin wí, kí wọn sì fi ẹ̀tọ́ àwọn tí ara ń ni dù wọ́n.
6 Giue ye strong drinke vnto him that is readie to perish, and wine vnto them that haue griefe of heart.
Fi ọtí líle fún àwọn tí ń ṣègbé wáìnì fún àwọn tí ó wà nínú ìrora.
7 Let him drinke, that he may forget his pouertie, and remember his miserie no more.
Jẹ́ kí wọn mu ọtí kí wọn sì gbàgbé òsì wọn kí wọn má sì rántí òsì wọn mọ́.
8 Open thy mouth for the domme in the cause of all the children of destruction.
“Sọ̀rọ̀ lórúkọ àwọn tí kò le sọ̀rọ̀ fúnra wọn fún ẹ̀tọ́ àwọn ẹni tí ń parun.
9 Open thy mouth: iudge righteously, and iudge the afflicted, and the poore.
Sọ̀rọ̀ kí o sì ṣe ìdájọ́ àìṣègbè jà fún ẹ̀tọ́ àwọn tálákà àti aláìní.”
10 Who shall finde a vertuous woman? for her price is farre aboue the pearles.
Ta ni ó le rí aya oníwà rere? Ó níye lórí ju iyùn lọ.
11 The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall haue no neede of spoyle.
Ọkọ rẹ̀ ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé púpọ̀ nínú rẹ̀ kò sì ṣí ìwà rere tí kò pé lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
12 She will doe him good, and not euill all the dayes of her life.
Ire ní ó ń ṣe fún un, kì í ṣe ibi ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀.
13 She seeketh wooll and flaxe, and laboureth cheerefully with her handes.
Ó sa aṣọ irun àgùntàn olówùú àti ọ̀gbọ̀ Ó sì ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú ìyárí.
14 She is like the shippes of marchants: shee bringeth her foode from afarre.
Ó dàbí ọkọ̀ ojú omi tí àwọn oníṣòwò; ó ń gbé oúnjẹ rẹ̀ wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn.
15 And she riseth, whiles it is yet night: and giueth the portion to her houshold, and the ordinarie to her maides.
Ó dìde nígbà tí òkùnkùn sì kùn; ó ṣe oúnjẹ fún ìdílé rẹ̀ àti ìpín oúnjẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀.
16 She considereth a field, and getteth it: and with the fruite of her handes she planteth a vineyarde.
Ó kíyèsi oko kan, ó sì rà á; nínú ohun tí ó ń wọlé fún un ó gbin ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀.
17 She girdeth her loynes with strength, and strengtheneth her armes.
Ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tagbára tagbára apá rẹ̀ le koko fún iṣẹ́.
18 She feeleth that her marchandise is good: her candle is not put out by night.
Ó rí i pé òwò òun pé fìtílà rẹ̀ kì í sì í kú ní òru.
19 She putteth her handes to the wherue, and her handes handle the spindle.
Ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó di kẹ̀kẹ́ òwú mú ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ di ìrànwú mú.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poore, and putteth foorth her hands to the needie.
O la ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí àwọn tálákà ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí àwọn aláìní.
21 She feareth not the snowe for her familie: for all her familie is clothed with skarlet.
Nígbà tí òjò-dídì rọ̀, kò bẹ̀rù nítorí ìdílé rẹ̀ nítorí gbogbo wọn ni ó wọ aṣọ tí ó nípọn.
22 She maketh her selfe carpets: fine linen and purple is her garment.
Ó ṣe aṣọ títẹ́ fún ibùsùn rẹ̀; ẹ̀wù dáradára àti elése àlùkò ni aṣọ rẹ̀.
23 Her husband is knowen in the gates, when he sitteth with the Elders of the land.
A bọ̀wọ̀ fún ọkọ rẹ̀ ní ẹnu ibodè ìlú níbi tí ó ń jókòó láàrín àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú.
24 She maketh sheetes, and selleth them, and giueth girdels vnto the marchant.
Ó ń ṣe àwọn aṣọ dáradára ó sì ń tà wọ́n ó sì ń kó ọjà fún àwọn oníṣòwò.
25 Strength and honour is her clothing, and in the latter day she shall reioyce.
Agbára àti ọlá ni ó wò ọ́ láṣọ ó le fi ọjọ́ iwájú rẹ́rìn-ín.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdome, and the lawe of grace is in her tongue.
A sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n ìkọ́ni òtítọ́ sì ń bẹ létè e rẹ̀
27 She ouerseeth the wayes of her housholde, and eateth not the bread of ydlenes.
Ó ń bojútó gbogbo ètò ilé rẹ̀ kì í sì í jẹ oúnjẹ ìmẹ́lẹ́.
28 Her children rise vp, and call her blessed: her husband also shall prayse her, saying,
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ dìde wọ́n sì pè é ní alábùkún ọkọ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ń gbóríyìn fún un.
29 Many daughters haue done vertuously: but thou surmountest them all.
“Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ obìnrin ní ń ṣe nǹkan ọlọ́lá ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ju gbogbo wọn lọ.”
30 Fauour is deceitfull, and beautie is vanitie: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praysed.
Ojú dáradára a máa tan ni, ẹwà sì jẹ́ asán nítorí obìnrin tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa yẹ kí ó gba oríyìn.
31 Giue her of the fruite of her hands, and let her owne workes prayse her in the gates.
Sì fún un ní èrè tí ó tọ́ sí i kí o sì jẹ́ kí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ fún un ní ìyìn ní ẹnu ibodè ìlú.
