Proverbs 10
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes his father rejoice but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
Ilu dị iche iche nke Solomọn: Nwata maara ihe na-eme ka nna ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ; ma nwantakịrị dị nzuzu na-ewetara nne ya nʼiru ụjụ.
2 Treasures accumulated by wickedness have no value, but doing what is right keeps you from death.
Akụ a kpatara nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi adịghị aba uru, ma ezi omume na-azọpụta mmadụ site nʼọnwụ.
3 Yahweh does not let the soul of the righteous person go hungry, but he frustrates the cravings of the wicked.
Onyenwe anyị agaghị ekwe ka onye ezi omume nwụọ nʼagụụ, ọ gakwaghị ekwe ka ihe nọgide na-agara onye ajọ omume nke ọma.
4 A lazy hand causes a person to be poor, but the hand of the diligent person gains riches.
Aka ndị umengwụ na-eweta ogbenye, ma aka na-arụsị ọrụ ike na-eweta ụba.
5 A wise son gathers a crop in the summer, but it is disgraceful for him to sleep during harvest.
Onye na-ekpokọta nʼoge ọkọchị bụ nwa maara ihe, ma nwa ahụ nke na-arahụ ụra nʼoge ọrụ bụ nwa na-eweta ihere.
6 Gifts from God are upon the head of the righteous person, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
Onye ezi omume na-anata ngọzị, ma naanị nkọcha jupụtara nʼọnụ onye ajọ omume.
7 The righteous person makes those who remember him happy, but the name of the wicked will rot away.
Aha onye ezi omume ka eji enye ngọzị, ma aha onye ajọ omume ga-ere ure.
8 Those who are sensible accept commands, but a talkative fool will come to ruin.
Onye obi ya maara ihe na-anabata ihe e nyere nʼiwu, ma onye nzuzu ekwurekwu ga-ala nʼiyi.
9 He who walks in integrity walks in safety, but the one who makes his ways crooked, he will be found out.
Onye ụzọ ya ziri ezi na-aga ije nʼatụghị egwu, ma onye ụzọ ya ezighị ezi ka a ga-achọpụta.
10 He who winks the eye causes grief, but a talkative fool will be thrown down.
Onye ọbụla na-egbu ikuanya na-ebute ihe mwute, onye nzuzu ekwurekwu ga-abịa nʼịla nʼiyi.
11 The mouth of the righteous person is a water spring of life, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
Ọnụ onye ezi omume bụ isi iyi nke ndụ, ma naanị nkọcha jupụtara nʼọnụ onye ajọ omume.
12 Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers over all offenses.
Ịkpọ asị na-akpali esemokwu, ma ịhụnanya na-ekpuchi mmehie niile.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person, but a rod is for the back of the one who has no sense.
Ndị nwere nghọta na-ekwu okwu nwere isi, ma ndị na-enweghị uche ka a na-eti ihe dịka ohu.
14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings destruction near.
Onye amamihe na-akpakọba ihe ọmụma, ma onye nzuzu na-eji ọnụ ya akpọ ịla nʼiyi oku.
15 The wealth of a rich man is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
Akụ ndị ọgaranya bụrụ ha obodo e wusiri ike, ma ụbịam bụ ịla nʼiyi nke ndị ogbenye.
16 The wage of the righteous person leads to life; the profit of the wicked leads them to sin.
Ụgwọ ọrụ onye ezi omume bụ ndụ, ma ihe nweta nke onye ajọ omume bụ mmehie na ọnwụ.
17 There is a path to life for the one who follows discipline, but the one who rejects correction is led astray.
Onye na-ege ntị na ndụmọdụ na-egosi ụzọ nke ndụ, ma onye na-adịghị anabata ndụmọdụ na-eme ka ndị ọzọ kpafuo.
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
Onye ji egbugbere ọnụ ụgha ekpuchi ịkpọ asị na onye na-agbasa okwu nkwutọ bụ onye nzuzu.
19 When there are many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who is careful in what he says is wise.
Nʼọtụtụ okwu mmehie adịghị akwụsị ma ndị nwere uche na-ejide ire ha.
20 The tongue of the righteous person is pure silver; there is little value in the heart of the wicked.
Ire nke onye ezi omume bụ ọlaọcha kachasị mma, ma obi onye ajọ omume bụ ihe ọnụahịa nta.
21 The lips of the righteous person nourish many, but fools die because of their lack of sense.
Egbugbere ọnụ onye ezi omume na-azụju ọtụtụ mmadụ afọ, ma ndị nzuzu na-anwụ nʼihi amamihe nke kọrọ ha.
22 The good gifts of Yahweh bring wealth and he adds no pain to it.
Ngọzị Onyenwe anyị na-eme mmadụ ọgaranya, ọ naghị atụkwasị ya nsogbu.
23 Wickedness is a game a fool plays, but wisdom is a pleasure to a man of understanding.
Ihe na-atọ onye nzuzu ụtọ bụ izube nzube ọjọọ; ma ihe na-atọ onye maara ihe ụtọ bụ inwe nghọta.
24 The fear of the wicked person will overtake him, but the desire of righteous people will be granted.
Ihe ahụ onye na-emebi iwu nʼatụ ụjọ ya ga-abịakwasị ya, ihe onye ezi omume na-achọ ka a ga-enye ya.
25 The wicked are like the storm that passes by, and they are no more, but the righteous person is a foundation that lasts forever.
Mgbe oke ifufe na-emebi ihe, ndị na-emebi iwu ka ọ na-eburu; ma ndị ezi omume na-eguzosi ike ruo ebighị ebi.
26 Like vinegar on the teeth and smoke in the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
Onye umengwụ na-abụ ihe mgbu nye onyenwe ya; ọ dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nʼanya mmadụ maọbụ dịka mmanya gbara ụka nke na-ejiji eze.
27 The fear of Yahweh prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.
Ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye ogologo ndụ, ma ọnụọgụgụ afọ nke onye ajọ omume na-adị mkpụmkpụ.
28 The hope of righteous people is their joy, but the years of wicked people will be short.
Olileanya ndị ezi omume ga-abụ ọṅụ; olileanya ndị na-emebi iwu bụ naanị ihe efu.
29 The way of Yahweh protects those who have integrity, but it is destruction for the wicked.
Ụzọ Onyenwe anyị bụ ebe mgbaba nye ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta, maọbụ ịla nʼiyi nye ndị na-eme ajọ ihe.
30 The righteous person will never be overthrown, but the wicked will not remain in the land.
A pụghị iwezuga onye ezi omume, ma onye na-emebi iwu agaghị anọgide.
31 Out of the mouth of the righteous person comes the fruit of wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out.
Nʼọnụ onye ezi omume ka mkpụrụ amamihe si abịa, ma ire na-ekwu okwu nduhie ka a ga-eme ka o dere duu.
32 The lips of the righteous person know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, they know what is perverse.
Egbugbere ọnụ onye ezi omume mara ihe na-eweta ihuọma, ma ọnụ ndị ajọ omume bụ naanị okwu nduhie.
