Proverbs 27
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day brings forth.
Má ṣe yangàn nítorí ọ̀la nítorí o kò mọ ohun tí ọjọ́ kan le è mú wáyé.
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth, A stranger, and not your own 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] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than them both.
Òkúta wúwo, erùpẹ̀ sì wúwo ṣùgbọ́n ìbínú aṣiwèrè wúwo ju méjèèjì lọ.
4 Fury [is] fierce, and anger [is] overflowing, And who stands before jealousy?
Ìbínú ni ìkà, ìrunú sì burú púpọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le è dúró níwájú owú?
5 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love.
Ìbániwí gbangba sàn ju ìfẹ́ ìkọ̀kọ̀ lọ.
6 The wounds of a lover are faithful, And the kisses of an enemy [are] abundant.
Òtítọ́ ni ọgbẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹnukonu ọ̀tá ni ẹ̀tàn.
7 A satiated soul treads down a honeycomb, And every bitter thing [is] sweet [to] a hungry soul.
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 wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering from his place.
Bí ẹyẹ tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò níbi ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ènìyàn tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò ní ilé rẹ̀.
9 Perfume and incense make the heart glad, And the sweetness of one’s friend—from counsel of the soul.
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 Do not forsake your own friend and the friend of your father, And do not enter the house of your brother in a day of your calamity, A near neighbor [is] better than a brother far 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 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, And I return a word [to] my reproacher.
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 The prudent has seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they 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 when a stranger has been guarantor, And pledge it for a strange woman.
Gba aṣọ ẹni tí ó ṣe onídùúró fún àjèjì fi ṣe ẹ̀rí ìdúró bí o bá ṣe onídùúró fún obìnrin oníṣekúṣe.
14 Whoever is greeting his friend with a loud voice, Rising early in the morning, It is reckoned a light thing to him.
Bí ènìyàn kan ń kígbe súre fún aládùúgbò rẹ ní òwúrọ̀ a ó kà á sí bí èpè.
15 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike,
Àyà tí ó máa ń jà dàbí ọ̀wààrà òjò ní ọjọ́ tí òjò ń rọ̀;
16 Whoever is hiding her has hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calls out.
dídá a lẹ́kun dàbí ìgbà tí ènìyàn ń dá afẹ́fẹ́ lẹ́kun tàbí bí ẹni tí ó gbá òróró.
17 Iron is sharpened by iron, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.
Bí irin tí ń pọ́n irin mú bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn kan ń pọ́n ẹlòmíràn mú.
18 The keeper of a fig tree eats its fruit, And the preserver of his master is honored.
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 the face [is] 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.
Kò tẹ́ ikú àti ìparun lọ́rùn rí bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni ojú ènìyàn kò rí ìtẹ́lọ́rùn rí. (Sheol h7585)
21 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise.
Iná fún fàdákà iná ìléru fún wúrà, ṣùgbọ́n a ń dán ènìyàn wò nípa ìyìn tí ó ń gbà.
22 If you beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things—with a pestle, His folly does not turn aside from off 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 Know the face of your flock well, Set your heart to the droves,
Rí i dájú pé o mọ ipò tí àwọn agbo àgùntàn rẹ wà bojútó àwọn agbo màlúù rẹ dáradára;
24 For riches [are] not for all time, Nor a crown to generation and generation.
nítorí ọrọ̀ kì í pẹ́ lọ títí adé kì í sì í wà lórí títí láéláé.
25 The hay was revealed, and the tender grass seen, And the herbs of mountains gathered.
Nígbà tí a bá kó koríko, ewéko tuntun yóò sì hù jáde, a ó sì kó koríko àwọn orí òkè wọlé
26 Lambs [are] for your clothing, And the price of the field [are] male goats,
àwọn àgùntàn yóò pèsè aṣọ fún ọ, àti ewúrẹ́ yóò pèsè owó oko.
27 And a sufficiency of goats’ milk [is] for your bread, For bread to your house, and life to your girls!
Ìwọ yóò ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàrà ewúrẹ́ láti bọ́ ọ àti ìdílé rẹ àti láti tọ́jú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.
