Proverbs 18
1 He that wole go a wei fro a frend, sekith occasiouns; in al tyme he schal be dispisable.
Ènìyàn tí kò ba ni rẹ́ a máa lépa ìmọ̀ ara rẹ̀; ó kọjú ìjà sí gbogbo ìdájọ́ òdodo.
2 A fool resseyueth not the wordis of prudence; `no but thou seie tho thingis, that ben turned in his herte.
Aláìgbọ́n kò rí inú dídùn sí òye ṣùgbọ́n ó ní inú dídùn sí sísọ èrò tirẹ̀.
3 A wickid man, whanne he cometh in to depthe of synnes, dispisith; but sclaundre and schenschipe sueth hym.
Nígbà ti ènìyàn búburú dé ni ẹ̀gàn dé, nígbà ti ẹ̀gàn dé ni ìtìjú dé.
4 Deep watir is the wordis of the mouth of a man; and a stronde fletinge ouer is the welle of wisdom.
Ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu ènìyàn jẹ́ omi jíjìn, ṣùgbọ́n orísun ọgbọ́n jẹ́ odò tí ń sàn.
5 It is not good to take the persoone of a wickid man in doom, that thou bowe awei fro the treuthe of dom.
Kò dára kí ènìyàn ṣe ojúsàájú fún ènìyàn búburú tàbí kí a fi ìdájọ́ òdodo du aláìṣẹ̀.
6 The lippis of a fool medlen hem silf with chidyngis; and his mouth excitith stryues.
Ètè aláìgbọ́n dá ìjà sílẹ̀ ẹnu rẹ̀ sì ń ṣokùnfà ẹgba.
7 The mouth of a fool is defoulyng of hym; and hise lippis ben the fallynge of his soule.
Ẹnu aláìgbọ́n ni ó ba tirẹ̀ jẹ́, ètè rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ìdẹ̀kùn fún ọkàn rẹ̀.
8 The wordis of a double tungid man ben as symple; and tho comen `til to the ynnere thingis of the wombe. Drede castith doun a slowe man; forsothe the soulis of men turned in to wymmens condicioun schulen haue hungur.
Ọ̀rọ̀ olófòófó dàbí oúnjẹ àdídùn; wọ́n a sì wọ ìsàlẹ̀ inú lọ.
9 He that is neisch, and vnstidfast in his werk, is the brother of a man distriynge hise werkis.
Ẹni tí kò ṣe déédé nínú iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ arákùnrin ló jẹ́ fún apanirun.
10 A strongeste tour is the name of the Lord; a iust man renneth to hym, and schal be enhaunsid.
Orúkọ Olúwa, ilé ìṣọ́ agbára ni; olódodo sá wọ inú rẹ̀, ó sì rí ìgbàlà.
11 The catel of a riche man is the citee of his strengthe; and as a stronge wal cumpassinge hym.
Ọ̀rọ̀ olówó ni ìlú olódi wọn; wọ́n rò ó bí i wí pé odi tí kò ṣe é gùn ni.
12 The herte of man is enhaunsid, bifor that it be brokun; and it is maad meke, bifore that it be glorified.
Ṣáájú ìṣubú ọkàn ènìyàn a kọ́kọ́ máa gbéraga, ṣùgbọ́n ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ ni ó máa ń ṣáájú ọlá.
13 He that answerith bifore that he herith, shewith hym silf to be a fool; and worthi of schenschipe.
Ẹni tí ó ń fèsì kí ó tó gbọ́, èyí ni ìwà òmùgọ̀ àti ìtìjú rẹ̀.
14 The spirit of a man susteyneth his feblenesse; but who may susteyne a spirit liyt to be wrooth?
Ọkàn ènìyàn a máa gbé e ró nígbà àìsàn, ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le forí ti ọkàn tí ó rẹ̀wẹ̀sì.
15 The herte of a prudent man schal holde stidfastli kunnyng; and the eere of wise men sekith techyng.
Ọkàn olóye ní i gba ìmọ̀; etí ọlọ́gbọ́n ní í ṣe àwárí rẹ̀.
16 The yift of a man alargith his weie; and makith space to hym bifore princes.
Ẹ̀bùn máa ń ṣí ọ̀nà fún ẹni tí ń fún ni lẹ́bùn a sì mú un wọlé sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olókìkí.
17 A iust man is the first accusere of hym silf; his frend cometh, and schal serche hym.
Ẹni tí ó kọ́kọ́ rọjọ́ máa ń dàbí i pé ó jàre, títí ẹlòmíràn yóò fi bọ́ síwájú kí ó sì tú àṣírí gbogbo.
18 Lot ceessith ayenseiyngis; and demeth also among miyti men.
Ìbò dídì máa ń parí ìjà a sì mú kí àwọn alátakò méjì jìnnà sí ara wọn.
19 A brother that is helpid of a brothir, is as a stidfast citee; and domes ben as the barris of citees.
Arákùnrin tí a ṣẹ̀ sí ṣòro yípadà ju ìlú olódi lọ, ìjà wọ sì dàbí ọ̀pá ìdábùú ààfin.
20 A mannus wombe schal be fillid of the fruit of his mouth; and the seedis of hise lippis schulen fille hym.
Láti inú èso ẹnu rẹ̀ ikùn ènìyàn a yó; láti inú ìkórè ẹnu rẹ̀ ni ó ti jẹ yó.
21 Deth and lijf ben in the werkis of tunge; thei that louen it, schulen ete the fruytis therof.
Ikú àti ìyè ń bẹ nípa ahọ́n wọn, àwọn tí ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ yóò jẹ ẹ́.
22 He that fyndith a good womman, fyndith a good thing; and of the Lord he schal drawe vp myrthe. He that puttith a wey a good womman, puttith awei a good thing; but he that holdith auowtresse, is a fool and vnwijs.
Ẹni tí ó rí aya fẹ́, rí ohun rere, o sì gba ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
23 A pore man schal speke with bisechingis; and a riche man schal speke sterneli.
Tálákà ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àánú, ṣùgbọ́n ọlọ́rọ̀ a dáhùn pẹ̀lú ìkanra.
24 A man freendli to felouschipe schal more be a frend, than a brothir.
Ènìyàn tí ó ní ọ̀rẹ́ púpọ̀ le è parun, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rẹ́ kan wà tí ó súnmọ́ ni tímọ́tímọ́ ju arákùnrin.
