He that is scorned of his frend, as Y am, schal inwardli clepe God, and God schal here hym; for the symplenesse of a iust man is scorned.
5 Ŋutsu siwo li le dziɖeɖi me la do vlo dzɔgbevɔ̃etɔ eye nenema ke woawɔ na ame siwo ƒe afɔ ɖiɖi.
A laumpe is dispisid at the thouytis of riche men, and the laumpe is maad redi to a tyme ordeyned.

No wondur, ax thou beestis, and tho schulen teche thee; and axe thou volatilis of the eir, and tho schulen schewe to thee.
8 Alo ƒo nu na anyigba, ne wòafia nu wò alo na atsiaƒumelã ne wòaka eta na wò.
Speke thou to the erthe, and it schal answere thee; and the fischis of the see schulen telle tho thingis.
9 Nu siawo katã dometɔ kae menyae be, Yehowa ƒe asie wɔ esiawo katã o?
Who knowith not that the hond of the Lord made alle these thingis?
10 Nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒe agbe le eƒe asi me eye amegbetɔwo katã ƒe gbɔgbɔ hã le eƒe asi me.
In whos hond the soule is of ech lyuynge thing, and the spirit, `that is, resonable soule, of ech fleisch of man.
11 Ɖe to medoa nyawo kpɔ abe ale si aɖe ɖɔa nuɖuɖu kpɔe ene oa?
Whether the eere demeth not wordis, and the chekis of the etere demen sauour?
12 Ɖe menye amegãɖeɖiwo gbɔe nunya tso aƒe ɖo oa? Ɖe agbe didi mehea gɔmesese vɛ oa?
Wisdom is in elde men, and prudence is in myche tyme.
13 “Mawu tɔe nye nunya kple ŋusẽ; aɖaŋudede kple gɔmesese hã nye etɔ.
Wisdom and strengthe is at God; he hath counsel and vndurstondyng.
14 Nu si wògbã kɔ ɖi la, womagate ŋu agbugbɔ atui o. Ame si wòde gaxɔ me la, womate ŋu aɖe asi le eŋu o.

15 Ne eɖo asi tsidzadza dzi la, ku ɖina, ne egaɖe asi le eŋu fũu hã la, eɖea anyigba
If he holdith togidere watris, alle thingis schulen be maad drie; if he sendith out tho watris, tho schulen distrie the erthe.
16 Etɔe nye ŋusẽ kple dziɖuɖu, ame si woble kple ameblela katã wonye etɔ.
Strengthe and wisdom is at God; he knowith bothe hym that disseyueth and hym that is disseyued.
17 Ekplɔa dumegãwo dzonae amama eye wònana Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo zua bometsilawo.
And he bryngith conselours in to a fonned eende, and iugis in to wondryng, ethir astonying.

He schedith out dispisyng on princes, and releeueth hem, that weren oppressid.
22 Eɖea nu goglo siwo le viviti me la ɖe go eye wòhea blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi vaa kekeli me.
Which schewith depe thingis fro derknessis; and bryngith forth in to liyt the schadewe of deeth.
23 Eyae naa dukɔwo xɔa ŋkɔ eye eya kee tsrɔ̃a wo. Eyae dzia dukɔwo ɖe edzi eye eya kee kakaa wo.
