Lododowo 11
1 Yehowa tsri nudanu amebatɔ, ke nudakpe si de blibo la nye eƒe dzidzɔ.
A gileful balaunce is abhominacioun anentis God; and an euene weiyte is his wille.
2 Dada doa ŋgɔ na ŋukpeɖuɖu, ke ɖokuibɔbɔ hea nunya vɛ.
Where pride is, there also dispising schal be; but where meeknesse is, there also is wisdom.
3 Ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe ta me nyui ɖoɖo kplɔa wo, ke nuteƒemawɔlawo la, woƒe dzi me eve susu tsrɔ̃a wo.
The simplenesse of iust men schal dresse hem; and the disseyuyng of weiward men schal destrie hem.
4 Kesinɔnu nye nu dzodzro le dzikudogbe, ke dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖea ame tso ku me.
Richessis schulen not profite in the dai of veniaunce; but riytfulnesse schal delyuere fro deth.
5 Ame maɖifɔwo ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye taa mɔ dzɔdzɔe ɖe wo ŋgɔ, ke ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe vɔ̃wɔwɔ hea wo ƒua anyi.
The riytfulnesse of a simple man schal dresse his weie; and a wickid man schal falle in his wickidnesse.
6 Ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ ɖea wo, ke didi vlowo zua mɔ ɖea nuteƒemawɔlawo.
The riytfulnesse of riytful men schal delyuere hem; and wickid men schulen be takun in her aspiyngis.
7 Ne ame vɔ̃ɖi ku la, eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ tsrɔ̃na, nu siwo katã wòle mɔ kpɔm na tso eƒe ŋusẽ me la zua tofloko.
Whanne a wickid man is deed, noon hope schal be ferther; and abidyng of bisy men schal perische.
8 Woɖea ame dzɔdzɔe tso fu me eye wòvaa ame vɔ̃ɖi la dzi boŋ.
A iust man is delyuered from angwisch; and a wickid man schal be youun for hym.
9 Mawumavɔ̃la tsɔa eƒe nu gblẽa ehavi domee, ke woɖea ame dzɔdzɔe la to sidzedze me.
A feynere bi mouth disseyueth his freend; but iust men schulen be deliuered bi kunnyng.
10 Ne nu dze edzi na ame dzɔdzɔe la, du blibo kpɔa dzidzɔ, ke ne ame vɔ̃ɖi tsrɔ̃ la, wodoa dzidzɔɣli.
A citee schal be enhaunsid in the goodis of iust men; and preysyng schal be in the perdicioun of wickid men.
11 To dzɔdzɔetɔ ƒe yayra dzi wodoa du ɖe dzi, ke wotsrɔ̃nɛ to ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nu dzi.
A citee schal be enhaunsid bi blessing of iust men; and it schal be distried bi the mouth of wickid men.
12 Ame manyanu doa vlo ehavi, ke ŋutsu nugɔmesela léa eƒe aɖe.
He that dispisith his freend, is nedi in herte; but a prudent man schal be stille.
13 Amenyagblɔla ʋua go nya ɣaɣla, ke ame ɖɔʋu ɣlaa nya.
He that goith gilefuli, schewith priuetees; but he that is feithful, helith the priuetee of a freend.
14 Dukɔ aɖe dzea anyi, ne mɔfiala meli o, ke dziɖuɖu vana to aɖaŋuɖola geɖewo dzi.
Where a gouernour is not, the puple schal falle; but helthe `of the puple is, where ben many counsels.
15 Ame si de megbe na ame bubu la akpe fu, ke ame si gbe akpesisi abe ŋugbedodo ƒe dzesi ene la anɔ dedie.
He that makith feith for a straunger, schal be turmentid with yuel; but he that eschewith snaris, schal be sikur.
16 Wodea bubu nyɔnu dɔmenyotɔ ŋu, ke ŋutsu ŋutasẽlawo ƒe asi sua kesinɔnu ko dzi.
A graciouse womman schal fynde glorie; and stronge men schulen haue richessis.
17 Ŋuistu dɔmenyotɔ wɔa nyui na eɖokui, gake ŋutsu ŋutasẽla hea hiã vaa eɖokui dzii.
A merciful man doith wel to his soule; but he that is cruel, castith awei, yhe, kynnesmen.
18 Woxea fetu si me beble le la na ame vɔ̃ɖi, ke ame si ƒã dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe ku la axa nu geɖe.
A wickid man makith vnstable werk; but feithful mede is to hym, that sowith riytfulnesse.
19 Ame si nye dzɔdzɔetɔ vavã la, akpɔ agbe, ke ame si ti nu vɔ̃ɖi yome la yia eƒe ku me.
Merci schal make redi lijf; and the suyng of yuels `schal make redi deth.
20 Yehowa tsri ame siwo ƒe dzi daa alakpa, ke ame siwo fɔɖiɖi mele woƒe mɔwo ŋu o la ƒe nu nyoa eŋu.
A schrewid herte is abhomynable to the Lord; and his wille is in hem, that goen symply.
21 Maka ɖe esia dzi na mi be, womagbe tohehe na ame vɔ̃ɖi la o, ke woana ablɔɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo.
Thouy hond be in the hond, an yuel man schal not be innocent; but the seed of iust men schal be sauyd.
22 Abe ale si sikaŋɔtigɛ nɔa ha ƒe ŋɔtimee ene la, nenema kee nye nyɔnu dzetugbe si meɖoa ŋu ɖo o.
A goldun `sercle, ether ryng, in the `nose thrillis of a sowe, a womman fair and fool.
23 Ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe didiwo vaa eme na wo nyuie, ke ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ wua nu le dziku me.
The desir of iust men is al good; abiding of wickid men is woodnesse.
24 Ame ɖeka naa nu faa gake egakpɔa geɖe ɖe edzi, ame bubu vea nu le nu si wòle be wòana la ŋu gake ahe ko wòdana.
Sum men departen her owne thingis, and ben maad richere; other men rauyschen thingis, that ben not hern, and ben euere in nedynesse.
25 Nu adze dzi na ame si na nu faa, ame si na amewo ƒe dzi dze eme la, woana eya ŋutɔ hã ƒe dzi nadze eme.
A soule that blessith, schal be maad fat; and he that fillith, schal be fillid also.
26 Ame si tsɔ bli ɣla la amewo aƒo fi adee gake yayra ava ame si lɔ̃ be yeadzra etɔ la dzi.
He that hidith wheete `in tyme, schal be cursid among the puplis; but blessyng schal come on the heed of silleris.
27 Ame si ti nyui yome la, amewo adi nyui nɛ gake vɔ̃ vana na ame si le vɔ̃ dim.
Wel he risith eerli, that sekith good thingis; but he that is a serchere of yuels, schal be oppressid of tho.
28 Ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe eƒe kesinɔnuwo dzi la adze anyi gake ame dzɔdzɔe awɔ mlɔmlɔmlɔ abe gbe dama ene.
He that tristith in hise richessis, schal falle; but iust men schulen buriowne as a greene leef.
29 Ame si he dzɔgbevɔ̃e va eƒe ƒome dzi la, ya anye eƒe domenyinu eye bometsila anye subɔla na nunyala.
He that disturblith his hows, schal haue wyndis in possessioun; and he that is a fool, schal serue a wijs man.
30 Ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe kutsetse nye agbeti, eye ame si ɖea luʋɔwo la, nunyalae.
The fruyt of a riytful man is the tre of lijf; and he that takith soulis, is a wijs man.
31 Ne ame dzɔdzɔewo xɔ wo tɔ gome le anyigba dzi la, ekema aleke wòahanɔ na mawumavɔ̃lawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo!
If a iust man receyueth in erthe, how miche more an vnfeithful man, and synnere.
