4 May not you give sleep to eyes your and slumber to eyelids your.
Ekwekwala ka ụra baa gị anya abụọ, ekwekwala ka mbụbara anya gị ruo ụra.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand and like a bird from [the] hand of a fowler.

9 Until when? O sluggard - will you lie down when? will you rise from sleep your.
Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-edina ala nʼebe ahụ, gị onye umengwụ? Olee mgbe ka ị ga-esi nʼụra bilie?
10 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
Nwa ụra nta, nwa iru ụra nta, nwa ịchịkọba aka nta zuo ike,
11 And it will come like a traveler poverty your and lack your like a man of shield.
