< Proverbs 19 >

1 Betere is a pore man, that goith in his simplenesse, than a riche man bitynge hise lippis, and vnwijs.
Ọ ka mma ịbụ ogbenye onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi karịa ịbụ onye nzuzu na-ekwu okwu ụgha mgbe niile.
2 Where is not kunnyng of the soule, is not good; and he that is hasti, in feet hirtith.
Arịrịọ nke na-enweghị ihe ọmụma adịghị mma otu a kwa onye ụkwụ ya na-eme ngwa na-ejehie ụzọ.
3 The foli of a man disseyueth hise steppis; and he brenneth in his soule ayens God.
Enweghị uche nke mmadụ na-eduba ha nʼọghọm, ma obi ha na-ewe iwe dị ukwuu megide Onyenwe anyị.
4 Richessis encreessen ful many freendis; forsothe also thei ben departid fro a pore man, whiche he hadde.
Onye nwere ego na-enwe ọtụtụ ndị enyi, ma ọ na-ara ahụ ka ndị enyi onye ogbenye nọgide.
5 A fals witnesse schal not be vnpunyschid; and he that spekith leesingis, schal not ascape.
Onye na-agba ama ụgha ga-ata ahụhụ, ụzọ onye na-ekupụ ụgha dịka ume ka a ga-achọpụtakwa.
6 Many men onouren the persoone of a myyti man; and ben frendis of hym that deelith yiftis.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ na-achọ ihuọma nʼebe onye na-achị achị nọ, otu a kwa, mmadụ niile na-agbalị ịbụ enyi onye na-agbasa aka ya na-enye onyinye.
7 The britheren of a pore man haten hym; ferthermore and the freendis yeden awei fer fro hym. He that sueth wordis oonli, schal haue no thing;
Ebe ọ bụ na ụmụnne onye ogbenye na-akpọ ya asị, gịnịkwa ka ndị enyi ya ga-eme? Mgbalị ya niile ịrịọ ha arịrịọ ezughị ime ka ha nọgide.
8 but he that holdith stabli the mynde, loueth his soule, and the kepere of prudence schal fynde goodis.
Onye na-enweta amamihe hụrụ ndụ nʼanya, onye na-edebekwa nghọta na-enweta ọganihu.
9 A fals witnesse schal not be vnpunyschid; and he that spekith leesyngis, schal perische.
Onyeama ụgha aghaghị ịta ahụhụ, onye ọbụla na-ekwupụ okwu ụgha dịka mmiri ga-ala nʼiyi.
10 Delices bicomen not a fool; nether `it bicometh a seruaunt to be lord of princes.
Onye nzuzu ekwesighị ibi dịka ọgaranya; ohu ekwesịkwaghị ịchị ụmụ eze.
11 The teching of a man is knowun bi pacience; and his glorie is to passe ouere wickid thingis.
Ezi uche mmadụ nwere na-amụpụta ndidi; ọ bụkwa nkwanye ugwu nye onye nʼadịghị agụ mkparị a na-akparị ya.
12 As the gnasting of a lioun, so and the ire of the king; and as deewe on eerbe, so and the gladnesse of the kyng.
Iwe eze dị ka mbigbọ nke ọdụm. Ma obi ụtọ ya dị ka igirigi nʼelu ahịhịa ndụ.
13 The sorewe of the fadir is a fonned sone; and roofes droppynge contynueli is a womman ful of chiding.
Nwa nzuzu bụ ịla nʼiyi nke nna, nwunye na-ese okwu dị ka mmiri ọtụtụ na-atụ kpọm, kpọm, mgbe niile nʼelu ụlọ puru epu.
14 Housis and richessis ben youun of fadir and modir; but a prudent wijf is youun propirli of the Lord.
Ụlọ dị iche iche na akụ bụ ihe nketa a na-anata nʼaka ndị nne na nna, ma nwunye nwere uche na nghọta na-esite naanị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
15 Slouth bringith in sleep; and a negligent soule schal haue hungur.
Umengwụ na-akpata oke ịrahụ ụra, onye ọfọ ogori ka agụụ na-agụ.
16 He that kepith the comaundement of God, kepith his soule; but he that chargith not his weie, schal be slayn.
Onye na-edebe iwu Chineke na-enweta ndụ, ma onye na-akpọ ya asị na-anwụ.
17 He that hath mercy on a pore man, leeneth to the Lord; and he schal yelde his while to hym.
Onye ọbụla na-egosi ndị ogbenye obi ebere na-ebinye Onyenwe anyị ihe, ọ ga-akwụghachi ha nʼihi ihe ọma ha mere.
18 Teche thi sone, and dispeire thou not; but sette thou not thi soule to the sleyng of hym.
Dọọ nwa gị aka na ntị mgbe ọ ka dị na nwantakịrị nʼihi na oge ahụ ka olileanya dị. Ma i meghị otu a, ọ bụ ndụ ya ka ị na-emebi.
19 Forsothe he that is vnpacient, schal suffre harm; and whanne he hath rauyschid, he schal leie to anothir thing.
Onye oke iwe ga-anata nra so ya, nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ị napụta ya, ị ga-anapụtakwa ya ọzọ.
20 Here thou counsel, and take thou doctryn; that thou be wijs in thi laste thingis.
Gee ntị na ndụmọdụ a na-enye gị, nabata ịdọ aka na ntị. Nʼikpeazụ, ị ga-abụ onye maara ihe.
21 Many thouytis ben in the herte of a man; but the wille of the Lord schal dwelle.
Ọtụtụ atụmatụ dị nʼobi mmadụ; maọbụ uche Onyenwe anyị ga-emezu.
22 A nedi man is merciful; and betere is a pore iust man, than a man liere.
Obi ebere mmadụ na-eme ka a na-achọsi ya ike. Ọ ka mma ịbụ ogbenye karịa ịbụ mmadụ nke eziokwu ọbụla na-adịghị nʼọnụ ya.
23 The drede of the Lord ledith to lijf `of blis; and he `that dredith God schal dwelle in plentee, with outen visityng `of the worste.
Ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị na-eweta ndụ na ọṅụ, na nchebe site nʼihe mmerụ ahụ.
24 A slow man hidith his hond vndur the armpit; and putteth it not to his mouth.
Onye umengwụ na-amanye aka nʼefere nri, ọ gaghị eweghachi ya ọ bụladị tinye nʼọnụ ya.
25 Whanne a man ful of pestilence is betun, a fool schal be wisere. If thou blamist a wijs man, he schal vndurstonde techyng.
Tie onye na-akwa emo ihe, onye na-enweghị uche ga-aghọ onye nwere ezi uche, baara onye nwere nghọta mba, ha ga-enweta ihe ọmụma.
26 He that turmentith the fadir, and fleeth fro the modir, schal be ful of yuel fame, and schal be cursid.
Ọ bụ nwa ahụ na-eweta ihere ga-ezu nne na nna ya ohi, maọbụ chụpụ ha site nʼụlọ ya.
27 Sone, ceesse thou not to here techyng; and knowe thou the wordis of kunnyng.
Nwa m ọ bụrụ na ị hapụ ige ntị na ntụziaka m, ị ga-esi nʼokwu ihe ọmụma kpafuo.
28 A wickid witnesse scorneth doom; and the mouth of vnpitouse men deuourith wickidnesse.
Onyeama ụgha na-akwa ikpe ziri ezi emo. Ọnụ nke onye ajọ omume na-eloda ajọ ihe.
29 Domes ben maad redi to scorneris; and hameris smytynge ben maad redi to the bodies of foolis.
Ndị na-akwa emo na ndị nzuzu ga-ata ahụhụ; a ga-etikwa ha ihe.
