< Proverbs 10 >

1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causes a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
Àwọn òwe Solomoni. Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ ń mú inú baba rẹ̀ dùn, ṣùgbọ́n aṣiwèrè ọmọ ń ba inú ìyá rẹ̀ jẹ́.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit, And righteousness delivers from death.
Ìṣúra tí a kójọ nípa ìwà búburú kò ní èrè, ṣùgbọ́n òdodo a máa gbani lọ́wọ́ ikú.
3 YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Olúwa kì í jẹ́ kí ebi máa pa olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ba ète àwọn ènìyàn búburú jẹ́.
4 Poor [is] he who is working [with] a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent makes rich.
Ọwọ́ tí ó lẹ máa ń sọ ènìyàn di tálákà, ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ tí ó múra ṣíṣẹ́ a máa sọ ni di ọlọ́rọ̀.
5 Whoever is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoever is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
Ẹni tí ó kó irúgbìn jọ ní àsìkò òjò jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó sùn ní àsìkò ìkórè jẹ́ adójútini ọmọ.
6 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Ìbùkún ní ó máa ń kún orí olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá máa ń kún ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
7 The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked rots.
Ìrántí olódodo yóò jẹ́ ìbùkún, ṣùgbọ́n orúkọ ènìyàn búburú yóò jẹrà.
8 The wise in heart accepts commands, And a talkative fool kicks.
Ẹni tí ó gbọ́n nínú ọkàn rẹ̀ máa ń gba àṣẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ètè wérewère yóò parun.
9 Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, And whoever is perverting his ways is known.
Ẹni tí ó ń rìn déédé, ń rìn láìléwu, ṣùgbọ́n àṣírí ẹni tí ń rin ọ̀nà pálapàla yóò tú.
10 Whoever is winking the eye gives grief, And a talkative fool kicks.
Ẹni tí ń ṣẹ́jú pàkòpàkò fún ibi ń fa àìbalẹ̀ ọkàn, aláìgbọ́n tí ń ṣàròyé kiri yóò parun.
11 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Ẹnu olódodo jẹ́ orísun ìyè, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá ni ó gba gbogbo ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
12 Hatred awakens contentions, And love covers over all transgressions.
Ìríra a máa dá ìjà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹ́ a máa bo gbogbo àṣìṣe mọ́lẹ̀.
13 Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
Ọgbọ́n ni a ń bá lẹ́nu àwọn olóye, ṣùgbọ́n kùmọ̀ wà fún ẹ̀yìn àwọn aláìlóye.
14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn kó ìmọ̀ jọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n a máa ṣokùnfà ìparun.
15 The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
Ọrọ̀ àwọn olódodo ni ìlú olódi wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òsì ni ìparun aláìní.
16 The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
Èrè olódodo ń mú ìyè wá fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n èrè ènìyàn búburú ń mú ìjìyà wá fún wọn.
17 A traveler to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoever is forsaking rebuke is erring.
Ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí fi ọ̀nà sí ìyè hàn, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó kọ ìbáwí mú àwọn mìíràn ṣìnà.
18 Whoever is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoever is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
Ẹni tí ó pa ìkórìíra rẹ̀ mọ́ jẹ́ òpùrọ́ ẹni tí ó sì ń ba ni jẹ́ jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
19 In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, And whoever is restraining his lips [is] wise.
Nínú ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀ a kò le fẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kù ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́ jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked—as a little thing.
Ètè olódodo jẹ́ ààyò fàdákà, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn ènìyàn búburú kò níye lórí.
21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools die for lack of heart.
Ètè olódodo ń bọ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n ń kú nítorí àìlóye.
22 The blessing of YHWH—it makes rich, And He adds no grief with it.
Ìbùkún Olúwa ń mú ọrọ̀ wá, kì í sì í fi ìdààmú sí i.
23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
Aláìgbọ́n a máa ní inú dídùn sí ìwà búburú, ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn a máa ní inú dídùn sí ọgbọ́n.
24 The feared thing of the wicked meets him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
Ohun tí ènìyàn búburú bẹ̀rù yóò dé bá a; olódodo yóò rí ohun tí ó fẹ́ gbà.
25 As the passing by of a windstorm, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a perpetual foundation.
Nígbà tí ìjì bá ti jà kọjá, ènìyàn búburú a kọjá lọ, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò dúró ṣinṣin láéláé.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
Bí ọtí kíkan sí eyín, àti èéfín sí ojú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀lẹ sí ẹni tí ó rán an níṣẹ́.
27 The fear of YHWH adds days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ń mú ọjọ́ ayé gígùn wá, ṣùgbọ́n a gé ọjọ́ ayé ènìyàn búburú kúrú.
28 The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perishes.
Ìrètí olódodo ni ayọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí ènìyàn búburú jásí òfo.
29 The way of YHWH [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
Ọ̀nà Olúwa jẹ́ ààbò fún olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìparun ni ó jẹ́ fún àwọn tí ń ṣe ibi.
30 The righteous is not moved for all time, And the wicked do not inhabit the earth.
A kì yóò fa olódodo tu láéláé, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú kì yóò dúró pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
31 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And the tongue of contrariness is cut out.
Ẹnu olódodo ń mú ọgbọ́n jáde wá, ṣùgbọ́n ètè àyípadà ni a ó gé kúrò.
32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
Ètè olódodo mọ ohun ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, ṣùgbọ́n ètè ènìyàn búburú kò mọ̀ ju èké lọ.
