Proverbs 24
1 May not you be jealous of people of evil and may not (you desire *Q(k)*) to be with them.
Mma wʼani mmerɛ amumuyɛfoɔ, mfa wo ho mmɔ wɔn;
2 For violence it plots heart their and trouble lips their they speak.
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn akoma dwene atirimuɔdensɛm ho, na wɔn ano ka deɛ ɛde basabasayɛ ba ho asɛm.
3 By wisdom it is built a house and by understanding it is established.
Wɔde nyansa na ɛsi efie, na nhunumu mu na wɔma ɛtim;
4 And by knowledge rooms they are filled all wealth precious and pleasant.
ɛnam nimdeɛ so na wɔnya ademudeɛ a ɛho yɛ na na ɛyɛ fɛ hyehyɛ nʼadan mu.
5 A man wise [who is] in strength and a person of knowledge [is] making firm strength.
Onyansafoɔ wɔ tumi a ɛso, na onimdefoɔ nyini ahoɔden mu;
6 For by wise directions you will make for yourself war and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
deɛ ɔretu sa hia akwankyerɛ, deɛ ɔrepɛ nkonimdie no hia afotufoɔ pii.
7 [are] high For a fool wisdom in the gate not he opens mouth his.
Nyansa wɔ akyiri dodo ma ɔkwasea; wɔ apono ano dwabɔ mu no ɔnni hwee ka.
8 [one who] plans To do evil him master of plots people will call.
Onipa ɔbɔ pɔ bɔne no wɔbɛfrɛ no ɔkɔtwebrɛfoɔ.
9 A plan of foolishness [is] sin and [is] an abomination to humankind a mocker.
Ogyimifoɔ nhyehyɛeɛ yɛ bɔne, nnipa kyiri ɔfɛdifoɔ.
10 You have shown yourself without courage in a day of trouble [is] narrow strength your.
Sɛ wʼabamu go wɔ ɔhaw mu a, na wʼahoɔden sua!
11 Deliver [those being] taken to death and [those who] are staggering to the slaughter if you will restrain.
Gye wɔn a wɔde wɔn rekɔ akɔkum wɔn no nkwa; na sianka wɔn a wɔtɔ ntintan kɔ akumiiɛ.
12 If you will say here! not we knew this ¿ not [one who] weighs hearts - he does he perceive and [one who] guards life your he does he know? and will he repay? to a person according to work his.
Sɛ woka sɛ, “Na yɛnnim yei ho hwee a,” deɛ ɔkari akoma hwɛ no nhunu anaa? Deɛ ɔbɔ wo nkwa ho ban no nnim anaa? Ɔrentua deɛ obiara ayɛ so ka anaa?
13 Eat O son my honey for [it is] good and honey from [the] comb [is] sweet on palate your.
Me ba, di ɛwoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ; ɛwokyɛm mu woɔ yɛ wʼanomu dɛ.
14 Thus - know! wisdom for self your if you find [it] and there [is] a future and hope your not it will be cut off.
Hunu nso sɛ nyansa yɛ wo kra dɛ; sɛ wonya a, wowɔ anidasoɔ ma daakye, na wʼanidasoɔ renyɛ kwa.
15 May not you lie in wait wicked [person] to [the] habitation of a righteous [person] may not you devastate resting place his.
Nkɔtɛ ɔteneneeni fie sɛ ɔkwanmukafoɔ, na ɛnkɔto nhyɛ nʼatenaeɛ so,
16 For seven [times] - he will fall a righteous [person] and he will rise and wicked [people] they will stumble in trouble.
Ɛwom sɛ ɔteneneeni hwe ase mpɛn nson deɛ, nanso ɔsɔre bio, na amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, amanehunu baako ma wɔhwe ase.
17 When falls (enemy your *Q(K)*) may not you rejoice and when stumbles he may not it rejoice heart your.
Sɛ wo ɔtamfoɔ hwe ase a mma ɛnyɛ wo dɛ; na sɛ ɔsunti a mma wʼakoma nni ahurisie,
18 Lest he should see Yahweh and it will be displeasing in view his and he will turn back from towards him anger his.
ɛfiri sɛ Awurade bɛhunu wʼadwene na ɔrempɛ na ɔbɛyi nʼabufuhyeɛ afiri ne so.
19 May not you fret yourself by evil-doers may not you be jealous of wicked [people].
Ɛnha wo ho wɔ abɔnefoɔ enti na ɛmma wʼani mmere amumuyɛfoɔ nso,
20 For - not it will belong a future to the evil [person] [the] lamp of wicked [people] it will be extinguished.
ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɔnefoɔ nni anidasoɔ biara daakye, na wɔbɛdum amumuyɛfoɔ kanea.
21 Fear Yahweh O son my and [the] king with [those who] change may not you get involved.
Me ba, suro Awurade ne ɔhene, na mfa wo ho mmɔ adɔnyɛfoɔ ho,
22 For suddenly it will arise calamity their and [the] disaster of both of them who? [is] knowing.
ɛfiri sɛ saa baanu yi de ɔsɛeɛ bɛba wɔn so mpofirim, na hwan na ɔnim amanehunu ko a wɔbɛtumi de aba?
23 Also these [belong] to wise [people] to pay regard to face in judgment not [is] good.
Yeinom nso yɛ anyansafoɔ Nsɛnka: Atemmuo a animhwɛ wɔ mu no nyɛ:
24 [one who] says - To a wicked [person] [are] righteous you they will curse him peoples they will denounce him nations.
Obiara a ɔbɛka akyerɛ deɛ ɔdi fɔ sɛ, “Wo ho nni asɛm” no nnipa bɛdome no na amanaman remmɔ no din pa.
25 And for the [ones who] rebuke [them] it will be pleasant and on them it will come blessing of good thing[s].
Na wɔn a wɔbu afɔdifoɔ fɔ no ɛbɛsi wɔn yie, na nhyira bɛba wɔn so.
26 Lips he kisses [one who] bring back words right.
Mmuaeɛ pa te sɛ mfeano.
27 Establish on the outside - work your and make ready it in the field for yourself after and you will build house your.
Wie wo mfikyidwuma na siesie wo mfuo; ɛno akyi, si wo fie.
28 May not you be a witness without cause in neighbor your and ¿ will you deceive with lips your.
Nni adanseɛ ntia ɔyɔnko a ɔnyɛɛ wo hwee, na mfa wʼano nnaadaa.
29 May not you say just as he has done to me so I will do to him I will repay to the person according to deed his.
Nka sɛ, “Deɛ wayɛ me no me nso mɛyɛ no bi; deɛ ɔyɛeɛ no metua ne so ka.”
30 At [the] field of a person lazy I passed by and at [the] vineyard of a person lacking of heart.
Menante faa onihafoɔ afuo ho twaa mu wɔ deɛ ɔnni adwene bobefuo nso ho;
31 And there! it had grown up all of it - thorns they were covered surface its nettles and [the] wall of stones its it was broken down.
nkasɛɛ afu wɔ baabiara, wira afu akata asase no so, na aboɔ afasuo no nso abubu.
32 And I saw I I set heart my I saw I received instruction.
Mede mʼadwene kɔɔ deɛ mehunuiɛ no so na mesuaa biribi firii mu:
33 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
nna kakra, nkotɔ kakra, nsa a woabobɔ de rehome kakra,
34 And it will come going about poverty your and poverti your like a man of shield.
bɛma ohia aba wo so sɛ ɔkwanmukafoɔ na nneɛma ho nna bɛba wo so sɛ obi a ɔkura akodeɛ. Na ohia bɛto akyere wo sɛ ɔkwanmukafoɔ; ahokyere bɛtoa wo sɛ ɔkorɔmfoɔ.
