Proverbs 5
1 Mi sone, perseyue thou my wisdom, and bowe doun thin eere to my prudence; that thou kepe thi thouytis,
Nwa m, ṅaa ntị nʼokwu amamihe m, gee ntị nʼokwu nghọta m ndị a.
2 and thi lippis kepe teching. Yyue thou not tent to the falsnesse of a womman;
Lezie anya, ka i debe izuzu dị iche iche, ka egbugbere ọnụ gị na-echebekwa ihe ọmụma.
3 for the lippis of an hoore ben an hony coomb droppinge, and hir throte is clerere than oile;
Nʼihi na egbugbere ọnụ nwanyị na-akwa iko na-atọ ka mmanụ aṅụ, okwu ọnụ ya na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ karịa mmanụ.
4 but the last thingis ben bittir as wormod, and hir tunge is scharp as a swerd keruynge on ech side.
Ma nʼikpeazụ, ọ na-elu ilu dịka oluilu dịkwa nkọ ka mma agha ihu abụọ.
Ụkwụ ya abụọ na-arịdaru nʼọnwụ, nzọ ụkwụ ya abụọ na-eje nʼụzọ ọkụ ala mmụọ. (Sheol h7585)
6 Tho goon not bi the path of lijf; hir steppis ben vncerteyn, and moun not be souyt out.
Nʼihi na ọ dịghị agbaso ụzọ kwesiri ndụ; ụzọ ya gbagọrọ agbagọ, ma ọ maghị nke a.
7 Now therfor, my sone, here thou me, and go not awei fro the wordis of my mouth.
Ugbu a ụmụ m, geenụ m ntị, unu esikwala nʼokwu niile nke ọnụ m wezuga onwe unu.
8 Make fer thi weie fro hir, and neiye thou not to the doris of hir hous.
Gbaara nwanyị dị otu a ọsọ! Ejekwala ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ya nso,
9 Yyue thou not thin onour to aliens, and thi yeeris to the cruel;
ka ị ghara ire ugwu gị nʼebe ndị ọzọ nọ, maọbụ were ndụ gị tinye nʼaka ndị na-enweghị obi ebere.
10 lest perauenture straungeris be fillid with thi strengthis, and lest thi trauels be in an alien hous;
Ka ndị ọbịa ghara inwe oke oriri nʼelu akụ gị, ka ihe niile ị dọgburu onwe gị nʼọrụ ịkpata gharakwa imejupụta ụlọ onye ọzọ.
11 and thou biweile in the laste daies, whanne thou hast wastid thi fleschis, and thi bodi; and thou seie,
Ka ị gharakwa ịsụ ude nʼikpeazụ mgbe ọrịa ga-eripịa ọkpụkpụ gị na anụ ahụ gị.
12 Whi wlatide Y teching, and myn herte assentide not to blamyngis;
Mgbe ị ga-asị, Lee ka m si kpọọ ịdọ aka na ntị asị! “Leekwa ka obi m si lelịa iba mba anya!
13 nether Y herde the voys of men techinge me, and Y bowide not doun myn eere to maistris?
Egeghị m ntị nʼozizi nke ndị nkuzi m maọbụ nabata ndụmọdụ nke ndị ndụmọdụ m.
14 Almest Y was in al yuel, in the myddis of the chirche, and of the synagoge.
Nʼihi na ugbu a, abịaruola m na mbibi nʼihu ọha mmadụ niile.”
15 Drinke thou watir of thi cisterne, and the floodis of thi pit.
Ṅụọ naanị mmiri nke si nʼite mmiri gị; mmiri dị mma nke si nʼolulu mmiri gị.
16 Thi wellis be stremed forth; and departe thi watris in stretis.
Gịnị mere ị ga-eji kwe ka isi mmiri gị sọọ nʼokporoụzọ, ka mmiri nke aka gị sọọ nʼama?
17 Haue thou aloone `tho watris; and aliens be not thi parceneris.
Kwee ka ha bụrụ nke naanị gị, nke onye ọbịa na-agaghị enwe oke nʼime ya.
18 Thi veyne be blessid; and be thou glad with the womman of thi yong wexynge age.
Kwere ka ịbụ nwoke gị bụrụ ngọzị nye gị; ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ nʼihi nwunye nke ị lụtara nʼokorobịa gị.
19 An hynde moost dereworthe; and an hert calf moost acceptable. Hir teetis fille thee in al tyme; and delite thou contynueli in the loue of hir.
Nne anụ nke na-ahụ nʼanya, dịka ele mara mma, ka ara dị ya nʼobi zuore gị, ka ịhụnanya ya na-enye gị obi ụtọ mgbe ọbụla.
20 Mi sone, whi art thou disseyued of an alien womman; and art fostrid in the bosum of an othere?
Gịnị ka ị na-achọ nʼahụ nwanyị na-akwa iko? Gịnị mere i ji na-amaku nwunye onye ọzọ obi?
21 The Lord seeth the weie of a man; and biholdith alle hise steppis.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-ele gị anya, ihe niile ị na-eme ka ọ na-ahụ.
22 The wickidnessis of a wyckid man taken hym; and he is boundun with the roopis of hise synnes.
Onye na-emebi iwu na-esite na mmehie ya laa onwe ya nʼiyi; mmehie ndị a bụ ụdọ nke na-ejide ya.
23 He schal die, for he hadde not lernyng; and he schal be disseyued in the mychilnesse of his fooli.
Ọ ga-anwụ nʼihi na ọ nabataghị ịdọ aka na ntị; ọ bụkwa nzuzu ya dufuru ya.
