Lododowo 31
1 Fia Lemuel ƒe nyawo, nyagblɔɖi si dadaa fiae lae nye esi:
The wordis of Lamuel, the king; the visioun bi which his modir tauyte hym.
2 “Oo vinye, O nye dɔmevi, O nye adzɔgbeɖevi,
What my derlyng? what the derlyng of my wombe? what the derlyng of my desiris?
3 Mègagblẽ wò ŋusẽ ɖe nyɔnuwo ŋu kple wò lãmeka ɖe ame siwo gblẽa fiawo dome la ŋu o.
Yyue thou not thi catel to wymmen, and thi richessis to do awei kyngis.
4 “O Lemuel, esia menye fiawo tɔ o, menye fiawo tɔ be woano wain o eye menye dziɖulawo tɔ be woadzro aha sesẽ o.
A! Lamuel, nyle thou yiue wyn to kingis; for no pryuete is, where drunkenesse regneth.
5 Ne menye nenema o la, woamu aha aŋlɔ nu si sea gblɔ la be eye woaxɔ ablɔɖe le ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la si.
Lest perauenture thei drynke, and foryete domes, and chaunge the cause of the sones of a pore man.
6 Tsɔ aha muame na ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃m kple wain na ane siwo le nuxaxa me,
Yyue ye sidur to hem that morenen, and wyn to hem that ben of bitter soule.
7 na woanoe aŋlɔ woƒe ahedada be eye womagaɖo ŋku woƒe hiãtuame dzi akpɔ o.
Drinke thei, and foryete thei her nedinesse; and thenke thei no more on her sorewe.
8 “Ƒo nu ɖe ame siwo mate ŋu aƒo nu ɖe wo ɖokui nu o la nu eye nàʋli amemanɔsitɔwo ƒe ablɔɖe ta.
Opene thi mouth for a doumb man,
9 Ƒo nu eye nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe, ʋli ame dahewo kple hiãtɔwo ƒe ablɔɖe ta.”
and opene thi mouth for the causes of alle sones that passen forth. Deme thou that that is iust, and deme thou a nedi man and a pore man.
10 Ame ka akpɔ srɔ̃nyɔnu si ƒe agbe dze ame ŋu? Exɔ asi wu adzagba.
Who schal fynde a stronge womman? the prijs of her is fer, and fro the laste endis.
11 Srɔ̃a kana ɖe edzi blibo eye nu sia nu si ŋu asixɔxɔ le la mevena le egbɔ o.
The herte of hir hosebond tristith in hir; and sche schal not haue nede to spuylis.
12 Le nyɔnu sia ƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me la, ehea nyui ko vɛ, ke menye vɔ̃ o.
Sche schal yelde to hym good, and not yuel, in alle the daies of hir lijf.
13 Edia ɖetifu kple avemeka eye wòwɔa dɔ kple eƒe asiwo faa.
Sche souyte wolle and flex; and wrouyte bi the counsel of hir hondis.
14 Ele abe asiʋu ene eye wòhea nuɖuɖu tso didiƒe vaa aƒee.
Sche is maad as the schip of a marchaunt, that berith his breed fro fer.
15 Efɔna ne ŋu mekpɔ ke o, edia nuɖuɖu na eƒe ƒometɔwo eye wòmaa dɔ na eƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo.
And sche roos bi nyyt, and yaf prey to hir meyneals, and metis to hir handmaidis.
16 Ebua ta me le agble ŋu eye wòƒlenɛ, eɖena tso eƒe nukpɔkpɔwo me tsɔna dea waingblee.
Sche bihelde a feeld, and bouyte it; of the fruyt of hir hondis sche plauntide a vyner.
17 Ewɔa dɔ kple ŋkubiã eye eƒe alɔwo sẽna ɖe eƒe dɔwo ŋu.
Sche girde hir leendis with strengthe, and made strong hir arm.
18 Ekpɔa egbɔ be yeƒe asitsatsa ɖe vi geɖe eye yeƒe akaɖi metsina le zã me o.
Sche taastide, and siy, that hir marchaundie was good; hir lanterne schal not be quenchid in the niyt.
19 Ɖetifutreti le eƒe asi me eye wòtsɔa eƒe asibidɛwo léa ɖetitrekekee.
Sche putte hir hondis to stronge thingis, and hir fyngris token the spyndil.
20 Eʋua asi na ame dahewo eye wòdoa asi ɖe hiãtɔwo gbɔ.
Sche openyde hir hond to a nedi man, and stretchide forth hir hondis to a pore man.
21 Ne snodzaɣi ɖo la, mevɔ̃na ɖe eƒe aƒekɔ nu o elabena wo katã tsyɔ kuntru dzĩ.
Sche schal not drede for hir hous of the cooldis of snow; for alle hir meyneals ben clothid with double clothis.
22 Elɔ̃a abadzivɔ na eƒe aba eye wòdoa aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu kple awu blɔ.
Sche made to hir a ray cloth; bijs and purpur is the cloth of hir.
23 Wodea bubu srɔ̃a ŋu le dua ƒe agbonu ne enɔ anyigba la dzi dumegãwo dome.
Hir hosebonde is noble in the yatis, whanne he sittith with the senatours of erthe.
24 Etɔa aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awuwo dzrana eye wòdzraa alidziblanu na asitsalawo.
Sche made lynnun cloth, and selde; and yaf a girdil to a Chananei.
25 Edo ŋusẽ kple bubu abe awu ene eye ate ŋu ako ŋkeke siwo gbɔna.
Strengthe and fairnesse is the clothing of hir; and sche schal leiye in the laste dai.
26 Eƒoa nu kple nunya eye nufiame anukwaretɔ le eƒe aɖe dzi.
Sche openyde hir mouth to wisdom; and the lawe of merci is in hir tunge.
27 Ekpɔa eƒe aƒekɔ ƒe nyawo gbɔ nyuie eye meɖua kuviabolo o.
Sche bihelde the pathis of hir hous; and sche eet not breed idili.
28 Viawo tsona yɔnɛ be yayratɔ, nenemae srɔ̃a hã yɔnɛ, hekafunɛ be,
Hir sones risiden, and prechiden hir moost blessid; hir hosebonde roos, and preiside hir.
29 “‘Nyɔnu siwo wɔa nu ɖɔʋuwo la li fũu, gake wò la, èƒo wo katã ta.’
Many douytris gaderiden richessis; thou passidist alle.
30 Nyonyo la, beblee, eye tugbedzedze nu hã va yina kaba; gake woakafu nyɔnu si vɔ̃a Yehowa.
Fairnesse is disseiuable grace, and veyn; thilke womman, that dredith the Lord, schal be preisid.
31 Mitsɔ fetu si wòdze na la nɛ, eye eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ahe kafukafu vɛ nɛ le dua ƒe agbowo nu.”
Yyue ye to hir of the fruyt of hir hondis; and hir werkis preise hir in the yatis.
