Proverbs 12
1 He that loueth chastisyng, loueth kunnyng; but he that hatith blamyngis, is vnwijs.
Ame si lɔ̃ amehehe la lɔ̃a sidzedze, ke ame si lé fu mokaname la, bometsilae.
2 He that is good, schal drawe to hym silf grace of the Lord; but he that tristith in hise thouytis, doith wickidli.
Yehowa vea ame nyui la nu, ke ebua fɔ ayemenuwɔla ya.
3 A man schal not be maad strong by wyckidnesse; and the root of iust men schal not be moued.
Womatsɔ vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi aɖo ame gɔme anyii o gake womate ŋu aho ame dzɔdzɔe ya o.
4 A diligent womman is a coroun to hir hosebond; and rot is in the boonys of that womman, that doith thingis worthi of confusioun.
Srɔ̃nyɔnu zazɛ̃ nye fiakuku na srɔ̃ŋutsua, ke srɔ̃nyɔnu ŋukpenanuwɔla nye ŋuɖui le ƒu tome na srɔ̃a.
5 The thouytis of iust men ben domes; and the counselis of wickid men ben gileful.
Ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe ɖoɖowo toa mɔ ɖeka, ke ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo nye beble.
6 The wordis of wickid men setten tresoun to blood; the mouth of iust men schal delyuere hem.
Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nyawo le lalam na ʋu gake dzɔdzɔetɔwo ƒe nuƒoƒo ɖea wo.
7 Turne thou wickid men, and thei schulen not be; but the housis of iust men schulen dwelle perfitli.
Wotutua ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒua anyi eye womeganɔa anyi o, ke ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe aƒe lia ke ɖaa.
8 A man schal be knowun bi his teching; but he that is veyn and hertles, schal be open to dispising.
Wokafua ame le nunya si le esi la ta, ke wodoa vlo ŋutsu tagbɔ kuku tɔwo.
9 Betere is a pore man, and sufficient to him silf, than a gloriouse man, and nedi of breed.
Enyo be nànye ame tsɛ aɖe ko eye subɔla nanɔ asiwò, wu be nàwɔ ɖokuiwò amegãe eye nuɖuɖu manɔ asiwò o.
10 A iust man knowith the soulis of hise werk beestis; but the entrailis of wickid men ben cruel.
Ame dzɔdzɔe léa be na eƒe lãwo ke dɔmenyo siwo ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ya wɔna la nye ŋutasesẽ.
11 He that worchith his lond, schal be fillid with looues; but he that sueth idilnesse, is moost fool. He that is swete, lyueth in temperaunces; and in hise monestyngis he forsakith dispisyngis.
Ame si ŋlɔ eƒe agble la akpɔ nuɖuɖu geɖe, ke ame si kplɔa blezibledi ɖo la, numanyalae.
12 The desir of a wickid man is the memorial of worste thingis; but the roote of iust men schal encreesse.
Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nu siwo woha la le ŋutasẽlawo dzrom, ke ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe ke ƒona ɖe to sesĩe.
13 For the synnes of lippis `falling doun neiyeth to an yuel man; but a iust man schal scape fro angwisch.
Ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nu vlo ƒoƒo zua mɔ ɖenɛ, ke ame dzɔdzɔe dona le fu me.
14 Of the fruyt of his mouth ech man schal be fillid with goodis; and bi the werkis of hise hondis it schal be yoldun to him.
Ame ƒe nu ƒe kutsetse hea nu nyuiwo vɛ nɛ taŋtaŋtaŋ, eye enye nyateƒe be dɔ si ame tsɔ eƒe asi wɔ lae hea viɖe vɛ nɛ.
15 The weie of a fool is riytful in hise iyen; but he that is wijs, herith counsels.
Bometsila ƒe mɔ dzɔna le eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkume, ke ame dzɔdzɔe xɔa aɖaŋuɖoɖo.
16 A fool schewith anoon his ire; but he that dissymelith wrongis, is wijs.
Bometsila ɖea eƒe dziku fiana zi ɖeka, ke nunyala doa toku dzudzu.
17 He that spekith that, that he knowith, is a iuge of riytfulnesse; but he that lieth, is a gileful witnesse.
Ɖasefo nyateƒetɔ gblɔa nya si le eteƒe le ʋɔnu, ke aʋatsoɖasefo daa alakpa le ʋɔnu.
18 A man is that bihetith, and he is prickid as with the swerd of conscience; but the tunge of wise men is helthe.
Nya vlowo ƒona ɖe ame abe yi ene, ke ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe aɖe hea dɔyɔyɔ vɛ.
19 The lippe of treuthe schal be stidfast with outen ende; but he that is a sudeyn witnesse, makith redi the tunge of leesyng.
Nyateƒenuyiwo nɔa anyi ɖikaa, ke alakpaɖe nu mesena yina o.
20 Gile is in the herte of hem that thenken yuels; but ioye sueth hem, that maken counsels of pees.
Beble le ame siwo ɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi la ƒe dzi me, ke dzidzɔ nɔa ame siwo hea ŋutifafa vɛ la ƒe dzi me.
21 What euere bifallith to a iust man, it schal not make hym sori; but wickid men schulen be fillid with yuel.
Dzɔgbevɔ̃e medzɔna ɖe ame dzɔdzɔe dzi o, ke ame vɔ̃ɖiwo la, xaxa yɔa wo me fũu.
22 False lippis is abhominacioun to the Lord; but thei that don feithfuli, plesen him.
Yehowa lé fu alakpanuyiwo, ke ekpɔa dzidzɔ ɖe ame siwo toa nyateƒe la ŋu.
23 A fel man hilith kunnyng; and the herte of vnwise men stirith foli.
Nunyala mekɔa nu le sidzedze si su esi la dzi o, ke bometsilawo ƒe dzi ɖea gbeƒã woƒe bometsitsi.
24 The hond of stronge men schal haue lordschip; but the hond that is slow, schal serue to tributis.
Asi si doa vevi nu la aɖu fia, ke kuviawɔwɔ kplɔa ame ɖona ɖe dɔ sesẽ me.
25 Morenynge in the herte of a iust man schal make hym meke; and he schal be maad glad bi a good word.
Nuxaxa le dzi me tea ame ɖe anyi, ke amenuvenya dea dzi ƒo na ame.
26 He that dispisith harm for a frend, is a iust man; but the weie of wickid men schal disseyue hem.
Ame dzɔdzɔe ɖoa ŋu ɖo le xɔlɔ̃wɔwɔ me, ke ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔ kplɔa wo tranae.
27 A gileful man schal not fynde wynnyng; and the substaunce of man schal be the prijs of gold.
Kuviatɔ memea eƒe adelã o, ke nunyala léa be na eƒe nunɔamesiwo.
28 Lijf is in the path of riytfulnesse; but the wrong weie leedith to deeth.
Agbe le dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ me, makumaku le mɔ ma dzi.
