Proverbs 6
1 My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,
Ọmọ mi, bí ìwọ bá ṣe onídùúró fún aládùúgbò rẹ, bí ìwọ bá jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún àjèjì ènìyàn,
2 Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,
bí a bá ti fi ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó sọ dẹkùn mú ọ, tí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu rẹ ti kó ọ sí pàkúté.
3 Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,
Nígbà náà, ṣe èyí, ìwọ ọmọ mi, láti gba ara rẹ níwọ̀n bí o ti kó ṣọ́wọ́ aládùúgbò rẹ: lọ kí o sì rẹ ara rẹ sílẹ̀; bẹ aládùúgbò rẹ dáradára.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí oorun kí ó kùn ọ́, tàbí kí o tilẹ̀ tòògbé rárá.
5 Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
Gba ara rẹ sílẹ̀, bí abo èsúró kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọdẹ, bí ẹyẹ kúrò nínú okùn àwọn pẹyẹpẹyẹ.
6 Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
Tọ èèrà lọ, ìwọ ọ̀lẹ; kíyèsi ìṣe rẹ̀, kí o sì gbọ́n!
7 Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,
Kò ní olùdarí, kò sí alábojútó tàbí ọba,
8 She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.
síbẹ̀, a kó ìpèsè rẹ̀ jọ ní àsìkò òjò yóò sì kó oúnjẹ rẹ̀ jọ ní àsìkò ìkórè.
9 Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?
Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ìwọ yóò dùbúlẹ̀, ìwọ ọ̀lẹ? Nígbà wo ni ìwọ yóò jí kúrò lójú oorun rẹ?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
Oorun díẹ̀, òògbé díẹ̀, ìkáwọ́gbera láti sinmi díẹ̀.
11 And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
Òsì yóò sì wá sórí rẹ bí ìgárá ọlọ́ṣà àti àìní bí adigunjalè.
12 A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking [with] perverseness of mouth,
Ènìyànkénìyàn àti ènìyàn búburú, tí ń ru ẹnu àrékérekè káàkiri,
13 Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,
tí ó ń ṣẹ́jú pàkòpàkò, ó ń fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ ó sì ń fi ìka ọwọ́ rẹ̀ júwe,
14 Frowardness [is] in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.
tí ó ń pète búburú pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tàn nínú ọkàn rẹ̀ ìgbà gbogbo ni ó máa ń dá ìjà sílẹ̀.
15 Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken — and no healing.
Nítorí náà ìdààmú yóò dé bá a ní ìṣẹ́jú akàn; yóò parun lójijì láìsí àtúnṣe.
16 These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations to His soul.
Àwọn ohun mẹ́fà wà tí Olúwa kórìíra, ohun méje ní ó jẹ́ ìríra sí i,
17 Eyes high — tongues false — And hands shedding innocent blood —
Ojú ìgbéraga, ahọ́n tó ń parọ́ ọwọ́ tí ń ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀,
18 A heart devising thoughts of vanity — Feet hasting to run to evil —
ọkàn tí ń pète ohun búburú, ẹsẹ̀ tí ó yára láti sáré sínú ìwà ìkà,
19 A false witness [who] doth breathe out lies — And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
ajẹ́rìí èké tí ń tú irọ́ jáde lẹ́nu àti ènìyàn tí ń dá ìjà sílẹ̀ láàrín àwọn ọmọ ìyá kan.
20 Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.
Ọmọ mi, pa àṣẹ baba rẹ mọ́ má sì ṣe kọ ẹ̀kọ́ ìyá rẹ sílẹ̀.
21 Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.
Jẹ́ kí wọn wà nínú ọkàn rẹ láéláé so wọ́n mọ́ ọrùn rẹ.
22 In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked — it talketh [with] thee.
Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń rìn, wọn yóò ṣe amọ̀nà rẹ; nígbà tí ìwọ bá sùn, wọn yóò máa ṣe olùṣọ́ rẹ; nígbà tí o bá jí, wọn yóò bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀.
23 For a lamp [is] the command, And the law a light, And a way of life [are] reproofs of instruction,
Nítorí àwọn àṣẹ yìí jẹ́ fìtílà, ẹ̀kọ́ yìí jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀, àti ìtọ́nisọ́nà ti ìbáwí ni ọ̀nà sí ìyè.
24 To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Yóò pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ obìnrin búburú, kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹnu dídùn obìnrin àjèjì.
25 Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.
Má ṣe ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ si nínú ọkàn rẹ nítorí ẹwà rẹ tàbí kí o jẹ́ kí ó fi ojú rẹ̀ fà ọ́ mọ́ra.
26 For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.
Nítorí pé nípasẹ̀ àgbèrè obìnrin ni ènìyàn fi ń di oníṣù-àkàrà kan, ṣùgbọ́n àyà ènìyàn a máa wá ìyè rẹ̀ dáradára.
27 Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?
Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin ha le è gbé iná lé orí itan kí aṣọ rẹ̀ má sì jóná?
28 Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
Ǹjẹ́ ènìyàn le è máa rìn lórí iná? Kí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì má jóná?
29 So [is] he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ń lọ sùn pẹ̀lú aya aláya; kò sí ẹni tí ó fọwọ́ kàn án tí yóò lọ láìjìyà.
30 They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,
Àwọn ènìyàn kì í kẹ́gàn olè tí ó bá jalè nítorí àti jẹun nígbà tí ebi bá ń pa á.
31 And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
Síbẹ̀ bí ọwọ́ bá tẹ̀ ẹ́, ó gbọdọ̀ san ìlọ́po méje bí ó tilẹ̀ kó gbogbo ohun tó ní nílé tà.
32 He who committeth adultery [with] a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kò nírònú; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ ó ń pa ara rẹ̀ run ni.
33 A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,
Ìfarapa àti ìtìjú ni tirẹ̀, ẹ̀gàn rẹ̀ kì yóò sì kúrò láéláé.
34 For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
Nítorí owú yóò ru ìbínú ọkọ sókè, kì yóò sì ṣàánú nígbà tí ó bá ń gbẹ̀san.
35 He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
Kò nígbà nǹkan kan bí ohun ìtánràn; yóò kọ àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, bí ó ti wù kí ó pọ̀ tó.
