Proverbs 22
1 Betere is a good name, than many richessis; for good grace is aboue siluer and gold.
Ihe nhọrọ dị ezi mma ka aha ọma bụ karịa ọtụtụ akụ, ịnata amara ihuọma ka mma karịa ọlaọcha na ọlaedo.
2 A riche man and a pore man metten hem silf; the Lord is worchere of euer eithir.
Ma ogbenye ma ọgaranya bụ otu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị onye kere ha niile.
3 A felle man seeth yuel, and hidith him silf; and an innocent man passid, and he was turmentid bi harm.
Onye nwere uche na-ahụ nsogbu nke na-abịa nʼihu ma zobe onwe ya, ma onye na-enweghị uche anaghị ele anya, ọ na-adaba nʼime nsogbu ahụ taa ahụhụ so ya.
4 The ende of temperaunce is the drede of the Lord; richessis, and glorye, and lijf.
Obi umeala bụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, ụgwọ ọ na-akwụ bụ akụnụba, na nsọpụrụ na ndụ ogologo.
5 Armuris and swerdis ben in the weie of a weiward man; but the kepere of his soule goith awey fer fro tho.
Ogwu na igbudu dị nʼụzọ onye na-emebi iwu; ma onye kpọrọ ndụ ya ihe na-asọ ya asọ.
6 It is a prouerbe, A yong wexynge man bisidis his weie, and whanne he hath wexe elde, he schal not go awei fro it.
Kuziere nwantakịrị ka ọ họrọ ụzọ ziri ezi, mgbe o tolitere ọ ga-anọgide nʼime ya.
7 A riche man comaundith to pore men; and he that takith borewyng, is the seruaunt of the leenere.
Dịka ọgaranya si achị ogbenye, otu a kwa ka onye na-ebi ego si bụrụ ohu onye na-ebinye ya ego.
8 He that sowith wickidnes, schal repe yuels; and the yerde of his yre schal be endid.
Onye na-agha ikpe na-ezighị ezi dịka mkpụrụ, ga-ewe ajọ ihe dịka ihe ubi, mkpanaka nke ikike iwe ha ga-agbajikwa.
9 He that is redi to merci, schal be blessid; for of his looues he yaf to a pore man. He that yyueth yiftis, schal gete victorie and onour; forsothe he takith awei the soule of the takeris.
Onye na-agbasapụ aka enye onyinye ga-abụ onye a gọziri agọzi, nʼihi na ha na ekenyetụ ndị ogbenye nri.
10 Caste thou out a scornere, and strijf schal go out with hym; and causis and dispisyngis schulen ceesse.
Chụpụ onye na-akwa emo, ise okwu ga-akwụsị, e, ịlụ ọgụ na nlelị ga-akwụsịkwa.
11 He that loueth the clennesse of herte, schal haue the kyng a freend, for the grace of hise lippis.
Onye na-ahụ ịdị ọcha nke obi nʼanya, onye okwu ya jupụtara nʼamara ga-abụ enyi eze.
12 The iyen of the Lord kepen kunnyng; and the wordis of a wickid man ben disseyued.
Anya Onyenwe anyị na-echebe ihe ọmụma, ma ọ na-emebi atụmatụ niile nke ndị aghụghọ.
13 A slow man schal seie, A lioun is withoutforth; Y schal be slayn in the myddis of the stretis.
Onye umengwụ na-asị, “Ọdụm nọ nʼezi! A ga-egbu m nʼama ọha mmadụ!”
14 The mouth of an alien womman is a deep diche; he to whom the Lord is wrooth, schal falle in to it.
Ọnụ nwanyị na-akwa iko bụ oke olulu, nwoke nọ nʼokpuru oke iwe Onyenwe anyị na-adaba nʼime ya.
15 Foli is boundun togidere in the herte of a child; and a yerde of chastisyng schal dryue it awey.
Obi ụmụntakịrị jupụtara nʼenweghị uche, ma apịpịa ịdọ aka na ntị ga-achụpụ ya nʼebe dị anya.
16 He that falsli chalengith a pore man, to encreesse hise owne richessis, schal yyue to a richere man, and schal be nedi.
Onye na-achọ uru site nʼimegbu onye na-enweghị ike, maọbụ onye na-enye ọgaranya onyinye ga-ebi nʼoke ụkọ.
17 My sone, bowe doun thin eere, and here thou the wordis of wise men; but sette thou the herte to my techyng.
Lezie anya gee ntị nʼokwu niile nke ndị maara ihe, tinye uche gị nʼihe m na-akụzi.
18 That schal be fair to thee, whanne thou hast kept it in thin herte, and it schal flowe ayen in thi lippis.
Ọ dị ụtọ ma idebe ha nʼobi gị, ma ha dịkwa nʼegbugbere ọnụ gị mgbe niile.
19 That thi trist be in the Lord; wherfor and Y haue schewid it to thee to dai.
Ọ bụ ka ntụkwasị obi gị dị nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ya ka m na-akụziri gị taa, ọbụladị gị onwe gị.
20 Lo! Y haue discryued it in thre maneres, in thouytis and kunnyng,
Ọ bụ na m edepụtabereghị gị iri ndụmọdụ atọ ndị a, bụ okwu ndụmọdụ na ihe ọmụma?
21 that Y schulde schewe to thee the sadnesse and spechis of trewthe; to answere of these thingis to hem, that senten thee.
Ha na-ezi gị ihe bụ ikwesi ntụkwasị obi na ikwu eziokwu. Mgbe ahụ ọ bụrụ na-ezie gị sị gị gaa chọta eziokwu ị ga-eji ezi ọsịsa lọghachi.
22 Do thou not violence to a pore man, for he is pore; nethir defoule thou a nedi man in the yate.
Emegbula ogbenye nʼihi na ọ bụ ogbenye. Emegidekwala ya nʼụzọ ikpe.
23 For the Lord schal deme his cause, and he schal turmente hem, that turmentiden his soule.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwuchitere ha ọnụ ha ma bibiekwa ndị na-emegide ha.
24 Nyle thou be freend to a wrathful man, nether go thou with a wood man;
Gị na onye na-ewe oke iwe abụla enyi, gị na onye na-ewe iwe ọsịịsọ emekọkwala ihe,
25 lest perauenture thou lerne hise weies, and take sclaundir to thi soule.
ma ọ bụghị ya, i nwere ike ịmụta ndụ ha, si otu a tinye ndụ gị na nsogbu.
26 Nyle thou be with hem that oblischen her hondis, and that proferen hem silf borewis for dettis; for if he hath not wherof he schal restore,
Abụla onye otu nʼime ndị na-anara ndị mmadụ akaebe maọbụ kwee nkwa ikwu ụgwọ onye ọzọ ji.
27 what of cause is, that thou take awei hilyng fro thi bed?
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na i nweghị ego ị ga-eji kwụọ ụgwọ ahụ, a ga-anapụ gị ọ bụladị ihe ndina gị.
28 Go thou not ouer the elde markis, whiche thi faders han set.
Ehigharịla oke ala e tinyere site na mgbe ochie. Nke ndị nna ochie gị ha hiwere.
29 Thou hast seyn a man smert in his werk; he schal stonde bifore kyngis, and he schal not be bifor vnnoble men.
Ị hụrụ mmadụ ahụ nke nwere ǹka nʼịrụ ọrụ ya nke ọma? Ọ ga-eguzo nʼihu ndị eze, ọ gaghị eguzo nʼihu ndị a na-amaghị aha ha.
