Proverbs 2
1 Mi sone, if thou resseyuest my wordis, `and hidist myn heestis anentis thee;
Nwa m, ọ bụrụ na ị nabata okwu ọnụ m niile zobekwa iwu m niile nʼime obi gị,
2 that thin eere here wisdom, bowe thin herte to knowe prudence.
tọọ ntị gị nʼala nye amamihe, wepụta obi gị inwe nghọta.
3 For if thou inwardli clepist wisdom, and bowist thin herte to prudence;
E, ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ihe ọmụma ka ị na-akpọku, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ bụ nghọta ka ị na-eweliri olu gị,
4 if thou sekist it as money, and diggist it out as tresours;
ọ bụrụ na ị na-achọ ya dịka i si achọ ọlaọcha maọbụ akụ nke zoro ezo,
5 thanne thou schalt vndirstonde the drede of the Lord, and schalt fynde the kunnyng of God.
mgbe ahụ, ị ga-aghọtakwa ihe bụ ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị chọtakwa ihe ọmụma nke Chineke.
6 For the Lord yyueth wisdom; and prudence and kunnyng is of his mouth.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị na-enye amamihe; nʼebe ọ nọ ka nghọta na ihe ọmụma na-esi abịa.
7 He schal kepe the heelthe of riytful men, and he schal defende hem that goen sympli.
Ọ na-edebere ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi nzube ọganihu, ọ bụ ọta nye ndị na-eje ije nʼizuoke.
8 And he schal kepe the pathis of riytfulnesse, and he schal kepe the weies of hooli men.
Ọ na-echebekwa ụzọ nke ndị na-eme ezi ihe na-agbaso, na-elekọtakwa ụzọ nke ndị hụrụ ya nʼanya na-agbaso.
9 Thanne thou schalt vndirstonde riytfulnesse, and dom, and equytee, and ech good path.
Mgbe ahụ ka ị ga-aghọta ihe ziri ezi na ihe dị mma na ezi ụzọ niile.
10 If wysdom entrith in to thin herte, and kunnyng plesith thi soule,
Nʼihi na amamihe ga-enwe ọnọdụ nʼime obi gị, ihe ọmụma ga-adịkwa mkpụrụobi gị ụtọ.
11 good councel schal kepe thee, and prudence schal kepe thee; that thou be delyuered fro an yuel weie,
Izuzu zuruoke ga-echebe gị, nghọta ga na-eche gị nche.
12 and fro a man that spekith weiward thingis.
Amamihe ga-azọpụta gị site nʼụzọ ndị mmehie, sitekwa na mmadụ ndị okwu ha jọrọ njọ,
13 Whiche forsaken a riytful weie, and goen bi derk weies;
ndị hapụrụ ụzọ niile ziri ezi nke Chineke na-agbaso ụzọ niile nke ọchịchịrị,
14 whiche ben glad, whanne thei han do yuel, and maken ful out ioye in worste thingis;
ndị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọjọọ, nʼihi na mmehie ha na-atọ ha ụtọ.
15 whose weies ben weywerd, and her goyingis ben of yuel fame.
Ihe ọbụla ha na-eme gbagọrọ agbagọ, jọọkwa njọ.
16 That thou be delyuered fro an alien womman, and fro a straunge womman, that makith soft hir wordis;
Ọ bụ naanị amamihe ga-anapụta gị nʼaka nwanyị akwụna, na nwanyị na-abụghị nwunye gị nke na-ekwu okwu nrafu.
17 and forsakith the duyk of hir tyme of mariage,
Onye na-ahapụ di ọ lụrụ nʼagbọghọ, nke chefuru ọgbụgba ndụ ọ gbara nʼihu Chineke.
18 and hath foryete the couenaunt of hir God. For the hous of hir is bowid to deeth, and hir pathis to helle.
Ụlọ nwanyị dị otu a dị nʼokporoụzọ nke na-eduba nʼọnwụ na nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (questioned)
19 Alle that entren to hir, schulen not turne ayen, nether schulen catche the pathis of lijf.
Ndị ikom niile banyere nʼụlọ ha na-ala nʼiyi. Ha adịghị alọtakwa nʼokporoụzọ nke na-eduba na ndụ.
20 That thou go in a good weie, and kepe the pathis of iust men.
Nʼihi nke a, ị ga-aga ije nʼụzọ ndị ezi omume, debekwa ụkwụ gị nʼokporoụzọ niile nke ndị ezi omume,
21 Forsothe thei that ben riytful, schulen dwelle in the lond; and symple men schulen perfitli dwelle ther ynne.
nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị ndị ziri ezi ga-ebi nʼala ahụ, ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta ga-afọdụkwa nʼime ya.
22 But vnfeithful men schulen be lost fro the loond; and thei that doen wickidli, schulen be takun awey fro it.
Ma ndị na-emebi iwu ka a ga-ebipụ site nʼala ahụ, ọ bụkwa ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ka a ga-ewezuga na ya.
