Proverbs 27
1 Haue thou not glorie on the morewe, `not knowynge what thing the dai to comynge schal bringe forth.
Pa fè grandizè pou sa ou pral fè denmen. Ou wè jòdi, ou pa konn denmen.
2 Another man, and not thi mouth preise thee; a straunger, and not thi lippis `preise thee.
Kite lòt moun pale byen pou ou. Pa fè sa ou menm. Kite etranje fè lwanj pou ou. Pa janm fè lwanj tèt pa ou.
3 A stoon is heuy, and grauel is chariouse; but the ire of a fool is heuyere than euer eithir.
Wòch lou, sab lou. Men, yo pa ka pi lou pase yon moun san konprann lè l' fache.
4 Ire hath no merci, and woodnesse brekynge out `hath no merci; and who mai suffre the fersnesse of a spirit stirid?
Lè yon moun ankòlè, li kraze brize. Men, ki moun ki ka kenbe tèt ak yon moun k'ap fè jalouzi?
5 Betere is opyn repreuyng, than loue hid.
Pito ou rale zòrèy yon moun kareman pase pou ou kite l' konprann sa li fè a pa anyen.
6 Betere ben the woundis of hym that loueth, than the gileful cossis of hym that hatith.
Lè yon zanmi ap rale zòrèy ou, se byen ou li vle wè. Men, lè yon lènmi ap pase men l' nan kou ou, se twonpe l'ap twonpe ou.
7 A man fillid schal dispise an hony coomb; but an hungri man schal take, yhe, bittir thing for swete.
Lè vant moun plen, yo refize ata siwo myèl. Lè moun grangou vre, menm bagay anmè gou nan bouch.
8 As a brid passinge ouer fro his nest, so is a man that forsakith his place.
Yon moun ki lwen lakay li, se tankou yon zwezo ki byen lwen nich li.
9 The herte delitith in oynement, and dyuerse odours; and a soule is maad swete bi the good counsels of a frend.
Losyon ak lwil santi bon bay kè kontan. Konsèy yon bon zanmi remoute kouraj.
10 Forsake thou not thi frend, and the frend of thi fadir; and entre thou not in to the hous of thi brothir, in the dai of thi turment. Betere is a neiybore nyy, than a brothir afer.
Pa janm bliye zanmi ou, ni zanmi papa ou. Lè zafè ou pa bon, pa al lakay frè ou. Yon bon vwazen pi bon pase yon frè ki lwen.
11 Mi sone, studie thou a boute wisdom, and make thou glad myn herte; that thou maist answere a word to a dispisere.
Pitit mwen, aprann gen bon konprann. Fè kè m' kontan. Konsa, m'a ka reponn moun k'ap kritike m' yo.
12 A fel man seynge yuel was hid; litle men of wit passinge forth suffriden harmes.
Moun ki gen konprann, lè li wè malè ap vin sou li, li wete kò l'. Moun sòt pote lestonmak li bay, epi se li ki peye sa.
13 Take thou awei his clooth, that bihiyte for a straunger; and take thou awei a wed fro hym for an alien man.
Si yon moun sòt jouk pou li asepte bay pawòl li pou dèt yon etranje, se pou yo sezi ata rad ki sou li jouk lòt la peye.
14 He that blessith his neiybore with greet vois; and risith bi niyt, schal be lijk hym that cursith.
Si ou di yon zanmi ou bonjou twò fò granmaten, se tankou si ou te ba li madichon.
15 Roouys droppynge in the dai of coold, and a womman ful of chidyng ben comparisond.
Yon fanm ki toujou ap chache kont, se tankou yon goutyè k'ap degoute lè lapli ap tonbe tout lajounen.
16 He that withholdith hir, as if he holdith wynd; and auoidith the oile of his riyt hond.
Si ou rive fè l' pe bouch li, w'a kenbe van ak men ou, w'a kenbe lwil ak dwèt ou tou!
17 Yrun is whettid bi irun; and a man whettith the face of his frend.
Menm jan fè file fè, konsa tou pou moun, yonn aprann nan men lòt.
18 He that kepith a fige tre, schal ete the fruytis therof; and he that is a kepere of his lord, schal be glorified.
Moun ki pran swen yon pye rezen, se li ki va jwenn rezen pou li manje. Moun ki fè travay mèt li byen, y'a gen respè pou li.
19 As the cheris of men biholdinge schynen in watris; so the hertis of men ben opyn to prudent men.
Lè ou gade nan glas, se pwòp figi ou ou wè ladan l'. Konsa tou, lè ou gade nan kè yon moun, ou wè ki moun li ye.
20 Helle and perdicioun schulen not be fillid; so and the iyen of men moun not be fillid. (Sheol h7585)
Menm jan toujou gen plas pou mò kote mò yo ye a, konsa tou, toujou gen plas pou lanvi nan kè moun. (Sheol h7585)
21 As siluer is preuyd in a wellyng place, and gold `is preued in a furneys; so a man is preued bi the mouth of preyseris. The herte of a wickid man sekith out yuels; but a riytful herte sekith out kunnyng.
Yo pase lò ak ajan nan dife pou wè si yo bon. Konsa tou, dapre jan yo nonmen non yon moun, yo ka di ki moun li ye.
22 Thouy thou beetist a fool in a morter, as with a pestel smytynge aboue dried barli; his foli schal not be don awei fro him.
Ou te mèt woule yon moun sòt anba baton tankou yo bat pwa, se pa sa k'ap fè l' kite sòt.
23 Knowe thou diligentli the cheere of thi beeste; and biholde thou thi flockis.
Chache konnen jan tout bèt ou yo ye. Pran swen yo.
24 For thou schalt not haue power contynueli; but a coroun schal be youun to thee in generacioun and in to generacioun.
Richès pa la pou tout tan. Ou ka pa rive pase tout byen ou bay pitit pitit ou.
25 Medewis ben openyd, and greene eerbis apperiden; and hey is gaderid fro hillis.
Lè ou koupe zèb, li pouse ankò. Konsa, toujou gen zèb sou mòn yo.
26 Lambren be to thi clothing; and kidis be to the prijs of feeld.
Mouton ou yo ap ba ou lenn pou fè rad met sou ou. Bouk kabrit yo ap rapòte ou lajan pou achte tè pou fè jaden.
27 The mylke of geete suffice to thee for thi meetis; in to the necessarie thingis of thin hous, and to lijflode to thin handmaidis.
W'a jwenn kont lèt kabrit pou ou bwè ak fanmi ou ansanm ak moun k'ap sèvi lakay ou.
