Proverbs 6
1 Mi sone, if thou hast bihiyt for thi freend; thou hast fastned thin hoond at a straunger.
Me ba, sɛ woadi akagyinamu ama ɔyɔnko bi, sɛ wode wo biribi asi awowa ama obi,
2 Thou art boundun bi the wordis of thi mouth; and thou art takun with thin owne wordis.
sɛ deɛ wokaeɛ ayi ka ama wo na sɛ wʼano asɛm afidie ayi wo a,
3 Therfor, my sone, do thou that that Y seie, and delyuere thi silf; for thou hast fallun in to the hond of thi neiybore. Renne thou aboute, haste thou, reise thi freend;
ɛnneɛ yɛ yei, me ba, na fa tete wo ho, sɛ ɔyɔnko nsa aka woɔ no nti: fa ahobrɛaseɛ kɔ nʼanim; na kɔ so pa wo yɔnko no kyɛw!
4 yyue thou not sleep to thin iyen, nether thin iyeliddis nappe.
Mma wʼani nkum na nntɔ nko.
5 Be thou rauyschid as a doo fro the hond; and as a bridde fro aspiyngis of the foulere.
Gye wo ho, sɛdeɛ ɔforoteɛ dwane firi ɔbɔmmɔfoɔ nsam anaa sɛdeɛ anomaa dwane firi fidisumfoɔ afidie mu.
6 O! thou slowe man, go to the `amte, ether pissemyre; and biholde thou hise weies, and lerne thou wisdom.
Ɔkwadwofoɔ, kɔ atɛtea nkyɛn; hwɛ nʼakwan, na hunu nyansa!
7 Which whanne he hath no duyk, nethir comaundour, nether prince;
Ɔnni ɔsahene, ɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ anaa sodifoɔ bi,
8 makith redi in somer mete to hym silf, and gaderith togidere in heruest that, that he schal ete.
nanso, ɔde aduane sie wɔ ahuhuro ɛberɛ mu ɔboaboa nnuane ano wɔ twaberɛ.
9 Hou long schalt thou, slow man, slepe? whanne schalt thou rise fro thi sleep?
Wo, ɔkwadwofoɔ, wobɛda akɔsi da bɛn? Wɔbɛnyane ɛberɛ bɛn?
10 A litil thou schalt slepe, a litil thou schalt nappe; a litil thou schalt ioyne togidere thin hondis, that thou slepe.
Nna kakra, nkotɔ kakra, nsa a woabobɔ de rehome kakra,
11 And nedynesse, as a weigoere, schal come to thee; and pouert, as an armed man. Forsothe if thou art not slow, thi ripe corn schal come as a welle; and nedynesse schal fle fer fro thee.
ɛbɛma ohia aba wo so sɛ ɔkwanmukafoɔ na ahokyere ato ahyɛ wo so sɛ deɛ ɔkura tuo.
12 A man apostata, a man vnprofitable, he goith with a weiward mouth;
Onipa teta ne ohuhuni a ɔde atorɔ kyini,
13 he bekeneth with iyen, he trampith with the foot, he spekith with the fyngur,
deɛ ɔbu nʼani, na ɔde ne nan yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ na ɔde ne nsateaa kyerɛkyerɛ adeɛ,
14 bi schrewid herte he ymagyneth yuel, and in al tyme he sowith dissenciouns.
deɛ ɔde nʼakoma mu nnaadaa bɔ ɛpɔ bɔne, na ɔde mpaapaemu ba ɛberɛ biara.
15 His perdicioun schal come to hym anoon, and he schal be brokun sodeynli; and he schal no more haue medecyn.
Ɛno enti amanehunu bɛba ne so prɛko pɛ; wɔbɛsɛe no mpofirim, a wɔrenya ano aduro.
16 Sixe thingis ben, whyche the Lord hatith; and hise soule cursith the seuenthe thing.
Nneɛma nsia na Awurade mpɛ, nneɛma nson na ɛyɛ nʼakyiwadeɛ:
17 Hiye iyen, a tunge liere, hondis schedinge out innocent blood,
ani a ɛtra ntɔn, atorɔ tɛkrɛma, nsa a ɛka mogya a ɛdi bem guo,
18 an herte ymagynynge worste thouytis, feet swifte to renne in to yuel,
akoma a ɛdwene amumuyɛ ho, nan a ɛtutu mmirika kɔyɛ bɔne,
19 a man bringynge forth lesingis, a fals witnesse; and him that sowith discordis among britheren.
Ɔdansekurumni a ɔdi atorɔ ne onipa a ɔde mpaapaemu ba anuanom mu.
20 Mi sone, kepe the comaundementis of thi fadir; and forsake not the lawe of thi modir.
Me ba, tie wʼagya ahyɛdeɛ na nnyaa wo maame nkyerɛkyerɛ mu.
21 Bynde thou tho continueli in thin herte; and cumpasse `to thi throte.
Fa kyekyere wʼakoma ho daa; na fa kyekyere wɔ kɔn mu.
22 Whanne thou goist, go tho with thee; whanne thou slepist, kepe tho thee; and thou wakynge speke with tho.
Wonante a, ɛbɛkyerɛ wo ɛkwan; sɛ woda a, ɛbɛwɛn wo; sɛ wonyane a, ɛbɛkasa akyerɛ wo.
23 For the comaundement of God is a lanterne, and the lawe is liyt, and the blamyng of techyng is the weie of lijf;
Na saa ahyɛdeɛ yi yɛ kanea; saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi yɛ hann, na ahohyɛsoɔ ntenesoɔ yi yɛ nkwa kwan,
24 `that the comaundementis kepe thee fro an yuel womman, and fro a flaterynge tunge of a straunge womman.
ɛtwe wo firi ɔbaa a ɔnni suban pa no ho, firi ɔbaawarefoɔ sansani tɛkrɛmadɛ ho.
25 Thin herte coueite not the fairnesse of hir; nether be thou takun bi the signes of hir.
Mma wo kɔn nnɔ nʼahoɔfɛ mma nʼani akyideda no ntwetwe wo,
26 For the prijs of an hoore is vnnethe of o loof; but a womman takith the preciouse soule of a man.
ɛfiri sɛ, odwamanfoɔ de animguaseɛ bɛbrɛ wo, na obi yere gyegye wo kɔ owuo mu.
27 Whether a man mai hide fier in his bosum, that hise clothis brenne not;
Obi bɛtumi asɔ ogya agu ne srɛ so a ɛnhye nʼatadeɛ anaa?
28 ethir go on colis, and hise feet be not brent?
Obi bɛtumi anante gyasramma so a mpumpunnya mmobɔ ne nan ho anaa?
29 So he that entrith to the wijf of his neiybore; schal not be cleene, whanne he hath touchid hir.
Saa na ɔbarima a ɔne ɔbarima foforɔ yere da no teɛ obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka noɔ no remfa ne ho nni da.
30 It is not greet synne, whanne a man stelith; for he stelith to fille an hungri soule.
Nnipa mmu ɔkorɔmfoɔ a wakɔwia adeɛ animtiaa sɛ ɛkɔm de no na ɔde rekɔdwodwo ano enti.
31 And he takun schal yelde the seuenthe fold; and he schal yyue al the catel of his hous, and schal delyuere hym silf.
Mmom sɛ wɔkyere no a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua ka mmɔho nson; sɛ ɛhia sɛ wɔtɔn ne fie agyapadeɛ nyinaa mpo a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn.
32 But he that is avouter; schal leese his soule, for the pouert of herte.
Ɔbarima a ɔsɛe awadeɛ no nni adwene; obiara a ɔyɛ saa no sɛe ne ho.
33 He gaderith filthe, and sclaundrith to hym silf; and his schenschip schal not be don awei.
Ɔboro ne animguaseɛ na ɔbɛnya, na nʼahohora rempepa da.
34 For the feruent loue and strong veniaunce of the man schal not spare in the dai of veniaunce,
Ninkunutweɛ hwanyane okunu abufuo na sɛ ɔtɔ were a, ahummɔborɔ biara nni mu.
35 nether schal assente to the preieris of ony; nether schal take ful many yiftis for raunsum.
Ɔrennye mpata biara; na ɔbɛpo adanmudeɛ, sɛ ɛso sɛ ɛdeɛn mpo a.
