Proverbs 20
1 Wiyn is a letcherouse thing and drunkenesse is ful of noise; who euere delitith in these, schal not be wijs.
Nsa yɛ ɔfɛwdifo na nsaden yɛ ɔtɔkwapɛfo; na obiara a nsa bɛma wafom kwan no nyɛ onyansafo.
2 As the roryng of a lioun, so and the drede of the kyng; he that territh hym to ire, synneth ayens his owne lijf.
Ɔhene abufuwhyew te sɛ gyata mmubomu; na nea ɔhyɛ no abufuw no de nkwa twa so.
3 It is onour to a man that departith hym silf fro stryuyngis; but fonned men ben medlid with dispisyngis.
Ɛyɛ onipa anuonyam sɛ ɔbɛkwati akasakasa, nanso ogyimifo biara pɛ ntɔkwaw.
4 A slow man nolde ere for coold; therfor he schal begge in somer, and me schal not yyue to hym.
Onihawfo mfuntum nʼasase wɔ ne bere mu; enti edu twabere a onya hwee.
5 As deep watir, so counsel is in the herte of a man; but a wijs man schal drawe it out.
Onipa koma botae yɛ asubun, nanso nea ɔwɔ nhumu no twetwe ma epue.
6 Many men ben clepid merciful; but who schal fynde a feithful man?
Nnipa dodow no ara ka se wɔwɔ ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da, na hena na obetumi ahu ɔnokwafo?
7 Forsothe a iust man that goith in his simplenesse, schal leeue blessid sones aftir hym.
Ɔtreneeni bu ɔbra kronkron; nhyira nka ne mma a wɔba wɔ nʼakyi.
8 A king that sittith in the seete of doom, distrieth al yuel bi his lokyng.
Sɛ ɔhene tena nʼahengua so bu atɛn a, ɔde nʼani huhuw bɔne nyinaa so gu.
9 Who may seie, Myn herte is clene; Y am clene of synne?
Hena na obetumi aka se, “Mapra me koma mu; meyɛ kronkron na minni bɔne?”
10 A weiyte and a weiyte, a mesure and a mesure, euer eithir is abhomynable at God.
Nkaribo ne susudua a ɛnyɛ papa no, Awurade kyi nʼabien no nyinaa.
11 A child is vndurstondun bi hise studies, yf his werkis ben riytful and cleene.
Mpo wɔnam abofra nketewa nneyɛe so hu wɔn, saa ara na ne suban yɛ kronkron ne papa no.
12 An eere heringe, and an iye seynge, God made euere eithir.
Aso a wɔde te asɛm ne ani a wɔde hu ade, Awurade na wayɛ nʼabien no nyinaa.
13 Nyle thou loue sleep, lest nedynesse oppresse thee; opene thin iyen, and be thou fillid with looues.
Mma nna nyɛ wo dɛ, na woanni hia; nna, na wubenya aduan ama abu so.
14 Ech biere seith, It is yuel, it is yuel; and whanne he hath go awey, thanne he schal haue glorie.
Adetɔni ka se, “Enye, enye!” nanso sɛ ɔkɔ a ɔde nea watɔ no hoahoa ne ho.
15 Gold, and the multitude of iemmes, and a preciouse vessel, ben the lippis of kunnyng.
Sika kɔkɔɔ wɔ hɔ, na nhene pa nso abu so, na ano a ɛka nimdeɛ nsɛm yɛ ɔbohemaa a ɛho yɛ na.
16 Take thou awei the cloth of hym, that was borewe of an othere man; and for straungeris take thou awei a wed fro hym.
Fa obi a odi ɔhɔho akagyinamu atade; sɛ ɔregyina ɔbea huhufo akyi a, fa si awowa.
17 The breed of a leesing is sweet to a man; and aftirward his mouth schal be fillid with rikenyng.
Aduan a wonya no ɔkwan bɔne so no yɛ onipa anom dɛ, nanso akyiri no, ɛdan mmosea wɔ nʼanom.
18 Thouytis ben maad strong bi counselis; and bateils schulen be tretid bi gouernals.
Pɛ afotu yɛ wo nhyehyɛe; sɛ wutu ɔsa a, nya ho akwankyerɛ.
19 Be thou not medlid with him that schewith pryuetees, and goith gylefulli, and alargith hise lippis.
Osekuni da kokoamsɛm adi; enti twe wo ho fi onipa a ɔkasa bebree ho.
20 The liyt of hym that cursith his fadir and modir, schal be quenchid in the myddis of derknessis.
Sɛ obi dome nʼagya anaasɛ ne na a, wobedum ne kanea wɔ sum kabii mu.
21 Eritage to which me haastith in the bigynnyng, schal wante blessing in the laste tyme.
Agyapade a wɔpere ho nya no, renyɛ nhyira akyiri no.
22 Seie thou not, Y schal yelde yuel for yuel; abide thou the Lord, and he schal delyuere thee.
Nka se, “Metua wo saa bɔne yi so ka!” Twɛn Awurade, na obegye wo.
23 Abhomynacioun at God is weiyte and weiyte; a gileful balaunce is not good.
Awurade kyi nkaribo a ɛnyɛ papa, na asisi nsania nso nsɔ nʼani.
24 The steppis of man ben dressid of the Lord; who forsothe of men mai vndurstonde his weie?
Awurade na ɔkyerɛ onipa anammɔntu. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na obi bɛte nʼankasa akwan ase?
25 Falling of man is to make auow to seyntis, and aftirward to withdrawe the vowis.
Obi pɛ ntɛm hyɛ bɔ, ansa na wadwene ho a, osum ne ho afiri.
26 A wijs kyng scaterith wickid men; and bowith a bouwe of victorie ouer hem.
Ɔhene nyansafo hu amumɔyɛfo; na ɔde awiyam afiri hankare fa wɔn so.
27 The lanterne of the Lord is the spirit of man, that sekith out alle the priuetees of the wombe.
Awurade kanea hwehwɛ onipa honhom mu, ɛhwehwɛ ne mu baabiara.
28 Merci and treuthe kepen a kyng; and his trone is maad strong bi mekenesse.
Ɔdɔ ne nokwaredi bɔ ɔhene ho ban; nʼadɔe ma nʼahengua tim.
29 The ful out ioiyng of yonge men is the strengthe of hem; and the dignyte of elde men is hoornesse.
Mmerante anuonyam ne wɔn ahoɔden, tidwen nso ne mmasiriwa anuonyam.
30 The wannesse of wounde schal wipe aweie yuels, and woundis in the priuyere thingis of the wombe.
Ɔhwe ne apirakuru hohoro amumɔyɛ, mmaatwa tew koma mu.
