Proverbs 27
1 Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know 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 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 sand is a burden; but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
Òkúta wúwo, erùpẹ̀ sì wúwo ṣùgbọ́n ìbínú aṣiwèrè wúwo ju méjèèjì lọ.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
Ìbínú ni ìkà, ìrunú sì burú púpọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le è dúró níwájú owú?
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
Ìbániwí gbangba sàn ju ìfẹ́ ìkọ̀kọ̀ lọ.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
Òtítọ́ ni ọgbẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹnukonu ọ̀tá ni ẹ̀tàn.
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
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 wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
Bí ẹyẹ tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò níbi ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ènìyàn tí ó ṣáko lọ kúrò ní ilé rẹ̀.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man's friend.
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 friend and your father's friend. Do not go to your brother's house in the day of your disaster: better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
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 bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
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 sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
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 he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman.
Gba aṣọ ẹni tí ó ṣe onídùúró fún àjèjì fi ṣe ẹ̀rí ìdúró bí o bá ṣe onídùúró fún obìnrin oníṣekúṣe.
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
Bí ènìyàn kan ń kígbe súre fún aládùúgbò rẹ ní òwúrọ̀ a ó kà á sí bí èpè.
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
Àyà tí ó máa ń jà dàbí ọ̀wààrà òjò ní ọjọ́ tí òjò ń rọ̀;
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
dídá a lẹ́kun dàbí ìgbà tí ènìyàn ń dá afẹ́fẹ́ lẹ́kun tàbí bí ẹni tí ó gbá òróró.
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
Bí irin tí ń pọ́n irin mú bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn kan ń pọ́n ẹlòmíràn mú.
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
Ẹni tí ó tọ́jú igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ yóò jẹ èso rẹ̀ ẹni tí ó sì fojú tó ọ̀gá rẹ̀ yóò gba ọlá.
19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the 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 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
Iná fún fàdákà iná ìléru fún wúrà, ṣùgbọ́n a ń dán ènìyàn wò nípa ìyìn tí ó ń gbà.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed 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 Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds:
Rí i dájú pé o mọ ipò tí àwọn agbo àgùntàn rẹ wà bojútó àwọn agbo màlúù rẹ dáradára;
24 for riches are not forever, nor does even the crown endure to all generations.
nítorí ọrọ̀ kì í pẹ́ lọ títí adé kì í sì í wà lórí títí láéláé.
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
Nígbà tí a bá kó koríko, ewéko tuntun yóò sì hù jáde, a ó sì kó koríko àwọn orí òkè wọlé
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
àwọn àgùntàn yóò pèsè aṣọ fún ọ, àti ewúrẹ́ yóò pèsè owó oko.
27 There will be plenty of goats' milk for your food, for your family's food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
Ìwọ yóò ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàrà ewúrẹ́ láti bọ́ ọ àti ìdílé rẹ àti láti tọ́jú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.
