1 “Klosalokuƒe li eye teƒe li si wololõa sika le.
Siluer hath bigynnyngis of his veynes; and a place is to gold, in which it is wellid togidere.
2 Wokua gayibɔ le tome eye wokpɔa akɔbli ne wololõ akɔblikpe.
Irun is takun fro erthe, and a stoon resolued, `ethir meltid, bi heete, is turned in to money.
3 Amegbetɔ ɖo seƒe na viviti, etsana le didiƒewo kple viviti tsiɖitsiɖitɔ kekeake me hena tomenuwo.
God hath set tyme to derknessis, and he biholdith the ende of alle thingis.
4 Eɖe do wògoglo yi eme ʋĩi hedidi tso amenɔƒe gbɔ, teƒe si amewo ƒe afɔ mede kpɔ o; teƒe goglo sia, si didi tso amewo gbɔ lae wonɔa ka me henɔa nyenyem le yame le.
Also a stronde departith a stoon of derknesse, and the schadewe of deth, fro the puple goynge in pilgrymage; it departith tho hillis, whiche the foot of a nedi man foryat, and hillis with out weie.
5 Anyigba si me wokpɔa nuɖuɖu tsonae lae wotrɔ le tome abe dzo me wòto ene.
The erthe, wher of breed cam forth in his place, is destried bi fier.
6 Woɖea safirkpe tso eƒe kpe siwo wogbã la me eye woɖea sika tso eƒe kewɔ me.
The place of saphir ben stoonys therof, and the clottis therof ben gold.
7 Xe ƒonuwo menya toƒe ɣaɣla ma o eye aʋako aɖeke ƒe ŋku mekpɔe kpɔ o
A brid knewe not the weie, and the iye of a vultur, ethir rauenouse brid, bihelde it not.
8 Gbemelã siwo dana la meka afɔ afi ma kpɔ o, eye dzata aɖeke hã mezɔ afi ma kpɔ o.
The sones of marchauntis tretiden not on it, and a lyonesse passide not therbi.
9 Ame ƒe asi gbã kpe sesẽawo eye wòna towo te dze go.
God stretchide forth his hond to a flynt; he distriede hillis fro the rootis.
10 Eɖea mɔ ɖe kpeawo tome eye eƒe ŋkuwo kpɔa eƒe nu xɔasi vovovowo katã.
He hewide doun ryuers in stoonys; and his iye siy al precious thing.
11 Etsana le tsidzɔƒewo eye wòhea nu ɣaɣlawo vaa kekeli nu.
And he souyte out the depthis of floodis; and he brouyte forth hid thingis in to liyt.
12 “Ke afi ka woakpɔ nunya le? Afi ka gɔmesese nɔna?
But where is wisdom foundun, and which is the place of vndurstondyng?
13 Amegbetɔ mese eƒe nuvãnyenye gɔme o, womate ŋu akpɔe le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi o.
A man noot the prijs therof, nether it is foundun in the lond of men lyuynge swetli, `ether delicatli.
14 Gogloƒe gblɔ be, ‘Menye tɔnyee o,’ Atsiaƒu gblɔ be, ‘Mele gbɔnye o,’
The depthe of watris seith, It is not in me; and the see spekith, It is not with me.
15 Womate ŋu aƒlee kple sika nyuitɔ alo woada klosalo ɖe eƒe home nu o.
Gold ful cleene schal not be youun for wisdom, nether siluer schal be weied in the chaungyng therof.
16 Màte ŋu aƒlee kple sika adodoe si tso Ofir alo kple kpe xɔasiwo, oniks kple safir o.
It schal not be comparysound to the died colours of Iynde, not to the moost preciouse stoon of sardius, nether to saphir.
17 Sika alo kristalkpe masɔ kplii o eye womatsɔ sikanuwo gɔ̃ hã aɖɔlii o.
Nether gold, nether glas schal be maad euene worth therto;
18 Womayɔ sui kple adzagba ƒe ŋkɔwo gɔ̃ hã ɖe eŋu o elabena nunya ƒe asixɔxɔ kɔ wu gbloti tɔ sãsãsã.
and hiye and fer apperynge vessels of gold schulen not be chaungid for wisdom, nether schulen be had in mynde in comparisoun therof. Forsothe wisdom is drawun of pryuy thingis;
19 Womatsɔ Kuskpe xɔasi, topaz, asɔ kplii o eye sika nyuitɔ mate ŋu aƒlee o.
topasie of Ethiope schal not be maad euene worth to wisdom, and moost preciouse diyngis schulen not be set togidere in prijs, `ether comparisound, therto.
20 “Ekema afi ka nunya tso? Afi ka nye gɔmesese ƒe nɔƒe?
Therfor wherof cometh wisdom, and which is the place of vndurstondyng?
21 Eɣla ɖe nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋkukpɔƒe eye woɣlae ɖe dziƒoxeviwo gɔ̃ hã.
It is hid fro the iyen of alle lyuynge men; also it is hid fro briddis of heuene.
22 Tsiẽƒe kple ku gblɔ be, ‘Nyasegblɔ tso eŋuti koe ɖo míaƒe towo me.’
Perdicioun and deeth seiden, With oure eeris we herden the fame therof.
23 Mawue nya egbɔmɔ eye eya koe nya afi si wòle.
God vndurstondith the weye therof, and he knowith the place therof.
24 Elabena eyae tea ŋu kpɔa anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke, eye wòkpɔa nu sia nu si le ɣea te.
For he biholdith the endis of the world, and biholdith alle thingis that ben vndur heuene.
25 Esi wòɖo ya ƒe ŋusẽ anyi, hedzidze tsiwo vɔ,
`Which God made weiyte to wyndis, and weiede watris in mesure.
26 esi wòwɔ se na tsidzadza, heta mɔ na dziɖegbe kple ahom vɔ la,
Whanne he settide lawe to reyn, and weie to tempestis sownynge;
27 enye kɔ kpɔ nunya, dzro eme kpɔ eye wòda asi ɖe edzi, hedoe kpɔ.
thanne he siy wisdom, and telde out, and made redi, and souyte out.
28 Tete wògblɔ na amegbetɔ be, ‘Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ la vɔvɔ̃e nye nunya eye nugbegbe le vɔ̃ gbɔe nye gɔmesese.’”
And he seide to man, Lo! the drede of the Lord, thilke is wisdom; and to go awei fro yuel, is vndurstondyng.
