12 To deliver you from a way evil from anyone [who] speaks perverse things.
Amamihe ga-azọpụta gị site nʼụzọ ndị mmehie, sitekwa na mmadụ ndị okwu ha jọrọ njọ,
13 Those [who] leave paths of uprightness to walk in [the] ways of darkness.
ndị hapụrụ ụzọ niile ziri ezi nke Chineke na-agbaso ụzọ niile nke ọchịchịrị,
14 The [ones] joyful to do evil they exult in perverse things of evil.
ndị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọjọọ, nʼihi na mmehie ha na-atọ ha ụtọ.
15 Who paths their [are] twisted and [who are] crooked in tracks their.
Ihe ọbụla ha na-eme gbagọrọ agbagọ, jọọkwa njọ.
16 To deliver you from a woman strange from a foreign [woman] [who] words her she makes smooth.
Ọ bụ naanị amamihe ga-anapụta gị nʼaka nwanyị akwụna, na nwanyị na-abụghị nwunye gị nke na-ekwu okwu nrafu.
17 Who leaves [the] close friend of youth her and [the] covenant of God her she forgets.
Onye na-ahapụ di ọ lụrụ nʼagbọghọ, nke chefuru ọgbụgba ndụ ọ gbara nʼihu Chineke.

Ụlọ nwanyị dị otu a dị nʼokporoụzọ nke na-eduba nʼọnwụ na nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (questioned)
19 All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
Ndị ikom niile banyere nʼụlọ ha na-ala nʼiyi. Ha adịghị alọtakwa nʼokporoụzọ nke na-eduba na ndụ.
20 So that you may walk in [the] way of good [people] and [the] paths of righteous [people] you will keep.
Nʼihi nke a, ị ga-aga ije nʼụzọ ndị ezi omume, debekwa ụkwụ gị nʼokporoụzọ niile nke ndị ezi omume,
21 For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
