Nyagblɔla 5
1 Ne èle gegem ɖe gbedoxɔ me la, ke wò towo ɖi eye nàmia wò nu! Mèganye bometsila si menyana gɔ̃ hã be enye nu vɔ̃ be nàɖe adzɔgbe na Mawu tamemabumabutɔe o,
Thou that entrist in to the hous of God, kepe thi foot, and neiye thou for to here; for whi myche betere is obedience than the sacrifices of foolis, that witen not what yuel thei don.
2 Wò nu megatsɔ blablabla o, eye wò dzi megatsɔ ne wòaƒo nu le Mawu ŋkume o, elabena Mawu le dziƒo ke, le esime wò ya nèle anyigba dzi le afii eya ta mègaƒo nu blablabla o.
Speke thou not ony thing folily, nether thin herte be swift to brynge forth a word bifore God; for God is in heuene, and thou art on erthe, therfor thi wordis be fewe.
3 Abe ale si hloloetsotso fũu akpa nana wokua drɔ̃e vɔ̃wo ene la, nenema kee bometsitsi nana woƒoa nukpoloe.
Dremes suen many bisynessis, and foli schal be foundun in many wordis.
4 Eya ta ne èɖe adzɔgbe na Mawu be yeawɔ nane la, mègahe nua wɔwɔ ɖe megbe o, elabena Mawu mekpɔa dzidzɔ le bometsilawo ŋu o. Wɔ wò adzɔgbeɖeɖe dzi nɛ.
If thou hast avowid ony thing to God, tarie thou not to yelde; for an vnfeithful and fonned biheest displesith hym; but `yelde thou what euer thing thou hast avowid;
5 Ne èzi kpi, mèdo ŋugbe be yeawɔ nane o la, enyo sãa wu be nàdo ŋugbe be yeawɔ nane eye nàgbe ewɔwɔ.
and it is myche betere to make not a vowe, than aftir a vowe to yelde not biheestis.
6 Mègana wò nu nakplɔ wò de nu vɔ̃ me o eye mègagblɔ na dɔtsɔla si le gbedoxɔ me be, “Vodadae nye nye adzɔgbeɖeɖe” o. Nu ka ta Mawu ado dɔmedzoe le nya si nègblɔ ta eye wòagblẽ nu si nèwɔ kple asi?
Yyue thou not thi mouth, that thou make thi fleisch to do synne; nether seie thou bifor an aungel, No puruyaunce is; lest perauenture the Lord be wrooth on thi wordis, and distruye alle the werkis of thin hondis.
7 Gɔmesese mele drɔ̃ekuku geɖewo kple nya sɔgbɔwo me o eya ta nɔ anyi le Mawuvɔvɔ̃ me.
Where ben many dremes, ben ful many vanytees, and wordis with out noumbre; but drede thou God.
8 Ne èkpɔ wole ame dahe aɖe tem ɖe to eye womedrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe nɛ o le teƒe aɖe le anyigba blibo la dzi la, mègana wòawɔ nuku na wò o elabena amegã ɖe sia ɖe le tatɔ aɖe te eye ame bubuwo gale tatɔawo hã tame.
If thou seest false chalengis of nedi men, and violent domes, and that riytfulnesse is distried in the prouynce, wondre thou not on this doyng; for another is hiyere than an hiy man, and also othere men ben more hiye aboue these men;
9 Fia la le ame siawo katã tame. Oo, ɖe woakpɔ fia aɖe wòatsɔ eɖokui aɖo anyi ɖe dukɔa ƒe nyonyo ta hafi. Eya koe ate ŋu ahe ɖoɖo ade tɔtɔ sia me.
and ferthermore the kyng of al erthe comaundith to the seruaunt.
10 Ame si lɔ̃a ga la, makpɔ ga wòasɔ gbɔ nɛ, adze eŋu gbeɖe o. Enye bometsitsi be ame nabu be kesinɔnuwoe naa dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ame!
An auerouse man schal not be fillid of monei; and he that loueth richessis schal not take fruytis of tho; and therfor this is vanyte.
11 Ale si nèkpɔ ga wòsɔ gbɔe la, nenema tututue wò gaŋudɔwɔwɔ hã anɔ; ekema nu nyui kae le gakpɔkpɔ ŋu? Ɖewohĩ nu nyui si le gakpɔkpɔ ŋu koe nye nàkpɔ ga la wòaƒu du ato wò asibidɛwo dome adzo le gbɔwò!
Where ben many richessis, also many men ben, that eten tho; and what profitith it to the haldere, no but that he seeth richessis with hise iyen?
12 Ame dahe si wɔa dɔ sesĩe la, dɔa alɔ̃ nyuie ne eɖu nu sue aɖe alo ne eɖu nu fũu, ke kesinɔtɔwo ya tsia dzimaɖi eye womekpɔa alɔ̃ dɔna o.
Slepe is swete to hym that worchith, whether he etith litil ether myche; but the fulnesse of a ryche man suffrith not hym to slepe.
13 Mekpɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi gã aɖe le ɣea te: eyae nye kesinɔnu si woli kɔe da ɖi wòva zu nuveviwɔame na nutɔ
Also anothir sijknesse is ful yuel, which Y siy vndur the sunne; richessis ben kept in to the yuel of her lord.
14 alo kesinɔnu si wobu to dzɔgbevɔ̃e me, ale be ne viŋutsu le amea si la, naneke matsi anyi na viŋutsu la o.
For thei perischen in the worste turment; he gendride a sone, that schal be in souereyn nedynesse.
15 Ame si ɖoa ŋu ɖe dɔwɔna sia tɔgbi ŋu la, trɔna kaba yia ahedada me, afi si wòdze dɔa gɔme tsoe.
As he yede nakid out of his modris wombe, so he schal turne ayen; and he schal take awei with hym no thing of his trauel.
16 Abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔ ene la: Nya sia nye nya sesẽ aɖe, elabena amea ƒe dagbadagba sia katã va zua tofloko kple ayadɔwɔwɔ ko. Eƒe nuwo katã buna.
Outirli it is a wretchid sijknesse; as he cam, so he schal turne ayen. What therfor profitith it to hym, that he trauelide in to the wynde?
17 Eƒe gome le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo katã me la zua viviti, dziɖeleameƒo, dadaƒu kple dɔmedzoedodo.
In alle the daies of his lijf he eet in derknessis, and in many bisinessis, and in nedynesse, and sorewe.
18 Ke nu ɖeka pɛ ya nyo, eyae nye wòaɖu nu nyuie, ano wain kɔŋkɔ gã ɖeka, ana eƒe ɖoƒe le agbe me nadze eŋu eye wòana dɔ sia dɔ si wòwɔna la nado dzidzɔ nɛ to ɣeyiɣi si me Mawu ana wòanɔ agbe la me.
Therfor this semyde good to me, that a man ete, and drynke, and vse gladnesse of his trauel, in which he trauelide vndir the sunne, in the noumbre of daies of his lijf, which God yaf to hym; and this is his part.
19 Gawu la, ne Mawu na kesinɔnuwo kple nunɔamesiwo ame aɖe eye wòna amenuvevee be wòaɖui, axɔ nu si nye etɔ gome eye wòakpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe dɔwɔwɔ me la, nunanae wònye tso Mawu gbɔ.
And to ech man, to whom God yaf richessis, and catel, and yaf power to hym to ete of tho, and to vse his part, and to be glad of his trauel; this is the yifte of God.
20 Ƒãa hafi wòbua eƒe agbemeŋkekewo ŋu. Mawu naa eƒe susu nɔa dzidzɔ si le eƒe dzi me la ŋu ɣeawo katã ɣi.
For he schal not bithenke miche on the daies of his lijf, for God ocupieth his herte with delicis.
