Proverbs 8
1 Whether wisdom crieth not ofte; and prudence yyueth his vois?
Ọ bụ na amamihe adịghị eti mkpu? Ọ bụ na nghọta anaghị eme ka olu ya daa ụda?
2 In souereyneste and hiy coppis, aboue the weie, in the myddis of pathis,
Ọ na-eguzo nʼelu ebe niile dị elu nʼokporoụzọ, nʼagbata ụzọ niile.
3 and it stondith bisidis the yate of the citee, in thilke closyngis, and spekith, and seith, A!
Nʼọnụ ụzọ nke obodo niile na nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ niile ka ọ nọ na-eti mkpu,
4 ye men, Y crie ofte to you; and my vois is to the sones of men.
ọ na-asị, “Ụmụ mmadụ geenụ m ntị; ọ bụ unu ndị dị ndụ ka m na-agwa okwu.
5 Litle children, vndirstonde ye wisdom; and ye vnwise men, `perseyue wisdom.
Unu ndị na-enweghị uche, nweenụ uche zuruoke; unu ndị nzuzu, nweenụ nghọta.
6 Here ye, for Y schal speke of grete thingis; and my lippis schulen be openyd, to preche riytful thingis.
Geenụ m ntị, nʼihi na enwere m okwu dị mkpa m ga-agwa unu; Ihe ọbụla m kwuru bụ ihe ziri ezi,
7 My throte schal bithenke treuthe; and my lippis schulen curse a wickid man.
Ọnụ m na-ekwu eziokwu nʼihi na akpọrọ m okwu ụgha asị.
8 My wordis ben iust; no schrewid thing, nether weiward is in tho.
Ndụmọdụ m zuruoke, ọ dịkwa mma. Ihe ọjọọ ọbụla adịghị nʼime ya.
9 `My wordis ben riytful to hem that vndurstonden; and ben euene to hem that fynden kunnyng.
Nʼebe onye nwetara nghọta nọ, okwu m doro anya; nʼebe ndị chọtara ihe ọmụma nọ, okwu m ziri ezi.
10 Take ye my chastisyng, and not money; chese ye teching more than tresour.
Họrọ ịdọ aka na ntị m karịa ọlaọcha họrọkwa ihe ọmụma karịa ọlaedo dị ezi mma.”
11 For wisdom is betere than alle richessis moost preciouse; and al desirable thing mai not be comparisound therto.
Amamihe dị mkpa karịa nkume rubi dị oke ọnụahịa. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe a ga-eji tụnyere ya.
12 Y, wisdom, dwelle in counsel; and Y am among lernyd thouytis.
“Mụ onwe m bụ amamihe na ezi nghọta na-agakọta. Enwere m ọmụma ihe na ezi izuzu.
13 The drede of the Lord hatith yuel; Y curse boost, and pride, and a schrewid weie, and a double tungid mouth.
Ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ ịkpọ ihe ọjọọ asị. Akpọrọ m nganga na mpako, omume ọjọọ nakwa okwu gbagọrọ agbagọ asị.
14 Counseil is myn, and equyte `is myn; prudence is myn, and strengthe `is myn.
Ndụmọdụ na ezi nghọta bụ nke m; enwekwara m ọmụma ihe na ike.
15 Kyngis regnen bi me; and the makeris of lawis demen iust thingis bi me.
Site na m ka ndị eze ji achị, ọ bụ m na-eme ka ndị na-achị achị mee iwu ziri ezi.
16 Princis comaunden bi me; and myyti men demen riytfulnesse bi me.
Site na m ka ndị eze ji achị bụ ndịisi niile na-achị nʼụwa.
17 I loue hem that louen me; and thei that waken eerli to me, schulen fynde me.
Ndị niile hụrụ m nʼanya ka m na-ahụ nʼanya. Ndị niile na-achọ m aghakwaghị ịchọta m.
18 With me ben rychessis, and glorie; souereyn richessis, and riytfulnesse.
Ana m ekenye ụba na nsọpụrụ, na ikpe ziri ezi na ezi omume.
19 My fruyt is betere than gold, and precyouse stoon; and my seedis ben betere than chosun siluer.
Onyinye m na-enye dị mma karịa ọlaọcha, ọ karịkwara ọlaedo.
20 Y go in the weies of riytfulnesse, in the myddis of pathis of doom;
Ana m aga ije nʼụzọ ezi omume, nʼokporoụzọ ikpe ziri ezi.
21 that Y make riche hem that louen me, and that Y fille her tresouris.
Ndị niile hụrụ m nʼanya, na-eketa akụnụba. Ana m emejupụtakwa ụlọakụ ha.
22 The Lord weldide me in the bigynnyng of hise weies; bifore that he made ony thing, at the bigynnyng.
“Onyenwe anyị kpụrụ m dịka mmalite ụzọ ya, tupu o bido ike ihe ọbụla ọzọ.
23 Fro with out bigynnyng Y was ordeined; and fro elde tymes, bifor that the erthe was maad.
Site nʼebighị ebi gara aga ka m dị; adịkwa m adị tupu e kee ụwa.
24 Depthis of watris weren not yit; and Y was conseyued thanne. The wellis of watris hadden not brokun out yit,
Anọ m na-adị tupu e kee ogbu mmiri, tupu isi iyi ọbụla agbapụta mmiri nʼelu ụwa,
25 and hillis stoden not togidere yit bi sad heuynesse; bifor litil hillis Y was born.
tupu e kee ugwu ukwu na ugwu nta.
26 Yit he hadde not maad erthe; and floodis, and the herris of the world.
E, amụọla m rịị tupu Chineke ekee ụwa na osisi niile, na aja niile dị nʼime ya.
27 Whanne he made redi heuenes, Y was present; whanne he cumpasside the depthis of watris bi certeyn lawe and cumpas.
Anọ m ya mgbe o doziri mbara eluigwe nʼọnọdụ ya, mgbe ọ tụsara ha nʼelu ogbu mmiri niile;
28 Whanne he made stidfast the eir aboue; and weiede the wellis of watris.
mgbe o hiwere mbara eluigwe, mgbe o mere ka isi iyi niile nke ogbu mmiri dị ike,
29 Whanne he cumpasside to the see his marke; and settide lawe to watris, that tho schulden not passe her coostis. Whanne he peiside the foundementis of erthe;
mgbe ọ kpara oke nye osimiri ebe ọ ga-akwụsị, ka mmiri ya ghara ịgafe iwu ya, mgbe ọ kara akara ebe a tọrọ ntọala nke ụwa.
30 Y was making alle thingis with him. And Y delitide bi alle daies, and pleiede bifore hym in al tyme,
Oge ahụ niile ka m na-anọ nʼakụkụ ya dịka onye ǹka. Ihe banyere m na-atọkwa ya ụtọ; ana m egwuri egwu nʼihu ya.
31 and Y pleiede in the world; and my delices ben to be with the sones of men.
Ihe niile o kere tọkwara m ụtọ, ụwa niile na ụmụ mmadụ!
32 Now therfor, sones, here ye me; blessid ben thei that kepen my weies.
“Nʼihi ya, ụmụ m ndị ikom, geenụ m ntị; nʼihi na ndị niile na-eso ụzọ m na-enwe ọṅụ.
33 Here ye teching, and be ye wise men; and nile ye caste it awei.
Gee ntị na ndụmọdụ m ka ị bụrụ onye maara ihe, agbakụtakwala ndụmọdụ m azụ.
34 Blessid is the man that herith me, and that wakith at my yatis al dai; and kepith at the postis of my dore.
Ngọzị dịrị mmadụ ahụ na-aṅa ntị nʼokwu m, onye na-anọ na nche nʼọnụ ụzọ m ụbọchị niile, onye na-anọ na-echere m nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ m;
35 He that fyndith me, schal fynde lijf; and schal drawe helthe of the Lord.
nʼihi na onye ọbụla chọtara m chọtara ndụ; ọ natakwala ihuọma nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ.
36 But he that synneth ayens me, schal hurte his soule; alle that haten me, louen deeth.
Ma onye na-enweghị ike chọta m na-emerụ onwe ya ahụ; ndị niile kpọrọ m asị hụrụ ọnwụ nʼanya.”
