Proverbs 13
1 A wijs sone is the teching of the fadir; but he that is a scornere, herith not, whanne he is repreuyd.
Ɔba nyansafoɔ tie nʼagya nkyerɛkyerɛ; na ɔfɛdifoɔ ntie animka.
2 A man schal be fillid with goodis of the fruit of his mouth; but the soule of vnpitouse men is wickid.
Nneɛma pa a ɛfiri onipa anom no ma no anigyeɛ, na wɔn a wɔnni nokorɛ no kɔn dɔ basabasayɛ.
3 He that kepith his mouth, kepith his soule; but he that is vnwar to speke, schal feel yuels.
Deɛ ɔkora nʼano no kora ne nkwa so, nanso deɛ ɔkasa a ɔnsusu ho no bɛba ɔsɛeɛ mu.
4 A slow man wole, and wole not; but the soule of hem that worchen schal be maad fat.
Onihafoɔ pere hwehwɛ nanso ɔnnya hwee, na deɛ ɔyɛ adwuma no nya deɛ ɔpɛ biara.
5 A iust man schal wlate a fals word; but a wickid man schendith, and schal be schent.
Teneneefoɔ kyiri deɛ ɛnyɛ nokorɛ, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ de aniwuo ne ahohora ba.
6 Riytfulnesse kepith the weie of an innocent man; but wickidnesse disseyueth a synnere.
Tenenee bɔ ɔnokwafoɔ ho ban, na amumuyɛsɛm tu ɔbɔnefoɔ gu.
7 A man is as riche, whanne he hath no thing; and a man is as pore, whanne he is in many richessis.
Obi yɛ ne ho sɛ ɔdefoɔ, a nso ɔnni hwee, ɔfoforɔ yɛ ne ho sɛ ohiani, a nso ɔwɔ ahonya bebree.
8 Redempcioun of the soule of man is hise richessis; but he that is pore, suffrith not blamyng.
Obi ahonya bɛtumi agye no nkwa, nanso ohiani nte ahunahuna biara.
9 The liyt of iust men makith glad; but the lanterne of wickid men schal be quenchid.
Teneneefoɔ kanea hyerɛn pa ara, nanso wɔdum amumuyɛfoɔ kanea.
10 Stryues ben euere a mong proude men; but thei that don alle thingis with counsel, ben gouerned bi wisdom.
Ahantan de ntɔkwa nko ara na ɛba, na wɔhunu nyansa wɔ wɔn a wɔtie afutuo mu.
11 Hastid catel schal be maad lesse; but that that is gaderid litil and litil with hond, schal be multiplied.
Ahonya a ɛnam kwammɔne soɔ no hwere ntɛm so, na deɛ ɔboa sika ano nkakrankakra no ma ɛdɔɔso.
12 Hope which is dilaied, turmentith the soule; a tre of lijf is desir comyng.
Anidasoɔ a wɔtu hyɛ da no bɔ akoma yadeɛ, nanso anigyinadeɛ a nsa aka no yɛ nkwa dua.
13 He that bacbitith ony thing, byndith hym silf in to tyme to comynge; but he that dredith the comaundement, schal lyue in pees.
Deɛ ɔtwiri ahyɛdeɛ no bɛtua so ka, nanso deɛ ɔde obuo ma mmara no, wɔma no akatua.
14 The lawe of a wise man is a welle of lijf; that he bowe awei fro the falling of deth.
Onyansafoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ te sɛ nkwa asutire, ɛyi onipa firi owuo afidie mu.
15 Good teching schal yyue grace; a swolowe is in the weie of dispiseris.
Nhunumu pa de adom ba, nanso atorofoɔ ɛkwan so yɛ den.
16 A fel man doith alle thingis with counsel; but he that is a fool, schal opene foli.
Ɔbadwemma biara yɛ nʼadeɛ wɔ nimdeɛ mu, nanso ɔkwasea da nʼagyimisɛm adi.
17 The messanger of a wickid man schal falle in to yuel; a feithful messanger is helthe.
Ɔsomafoɔ mumuyɛfoɔ tɔ amaneɛ mu, nanso ɔnanmusini nokwafoɔ de abodwoɔ ba.
18 Nedynesse and schenschip is to him that forsakith techyng; but he that assentith to a blamere, schal be glorified.
Deɛ ɔpo ntenesoɔ no kɔ ohia ne animguaseɛ mu, na deɛ ɔtie ntenesoɔ no, wɔhyɛ no animuonyam.
19 Desir, if it is fillid, delitith the soule; foolis wlaten hem that fleen yuels.
Akɔnnɔdeɛ a nsa aka ma ɔkra ani gye, nanso nkwaseafoɔ kyiri sɛ wɔtwe wɔn ho firi bɔne ho.
20 He that goith with wijs men, schal be wijs; the freend of foolis schal be maad lijk hem.
Deɛ ɔne onyansafoɔ nante no hunu nyansa, na deɛ ɔne nkwaseafoɔ bɔ no hunu amane.
21 Yuel pursueth synneris; and goodis schulen be yoldun to iust men.
Ɔhaw di ɔbɔnefoɔ akyi, na nkɔsoɔ yɛ teneneeni akatua.
22 A good man schal leeue aftir him eiris, sones, and the sones of sones; and the catel of a synnere is kept to a iust man.
Onipa pa de agyapadeɛ gya ne nananom, na wɔkora ɔbɔnefoɔ ahonyadeɛ so ma ɔteneneeni.
23 Many meetis ben in the new tilid feeldis of fadris; and ben gaderid to othere men with out doom.
Ohiani afuom nnɔbaeɛ tumi ba pii, nanso ntɛnkyea pra kɔ.
24 He that sparith the yerde, hatith his sone; but he that loueth him, techith bisili.
Deɛ ɔkyɛe nʼabaa so no tane ne ba, na deɛ ɔdɔ no no hwɛ sɛ ɔbɛtene no.
25 A iust man etith, and fillith his soule; but the wombe of wickid men is vnable to be fillid.
Teneneefoɔ didi ma wɔn akoma mee nanso, ɛkɔm de amumuyɛfoɔ.
