Lododowo 5
1 Vinye, lé to ɖe nye nunya ŋu eye nàƒu to anyi nyuie ɖe nye sidzedze ƒe nyawo ŋu,
Mi sone, perseyue thou my wisdom, and bowe doun thin eere to my prudence; that thou kepe thi thouytis,
2 be nànya nu si nàwɔ eye wò nuyiwo adzra gɔmesese ɖo
and thi lippis kepe teching. Yyue thou not tent to the falsnesse of a womman;
3 elabena nyɔnu ahasitɔ ƒe nuyiwo le anyitsi tsyɔm, eye eƒe numenyawo zrɔ̃ wu ami
for the lippis of an hoore ben an hony coomb droppinge, and hir throte is clerere than oile;
4 gake le nuwuwu la evena wu veve eye wòɖana wu yi nuevee.
but the last thingis ben bittir as wormod, and hir tunge is scharp as a swerd keruynge on ech side.
Hir feet gon doun in to deeth; and hir steppis persen to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
6 Mebua ta me le ale si wòanɔ agbee ŋu kura o, eƒe toƒewo glɔ̃ gake menyae o
Tho goon not bi the path of lijf; hir steppis ben vncerteyn, and moun not be souyt out.
7 eya ta azɔ la, vinyewo, miɖo tom, migaƒo asa na nu si megblɔ na mi o.
Now therfor, my sone, here thou me, and go not awei fro the wordis of my mouth.
8 Miaƒe toƒewo nete ɖa xaa tso egbɔ, migagogo eƒe aƒe ƒe agbonu o,
Make fer thi weie fro hir, and neiye thou not to the doris of hir hous.
9 ne menye nenema o la, miava gblẽ miaƒe ɖekakpuime ƒe ŋusẽ ɖe ame bubuwo ŋu kple miaƒe ƒewo ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖi ŋu.
Yyue thou not thin onour to aliens, and thi yeeris to the cruel;
10 Ne menye nenema o la, amedzrowo anye avuzi le miaƒe kesinɔnuwo dzi eye nu si nète fifia kpɔ la aɖo atsyɔ̃ na ame bubu ƒe aƒe me.
lest perauenture straungeris be fillid with thi strengthis, and lest thi trauels be in an alien hous;
11 Le wò agbe ƒe nuwuwu la, ànɔ ŋeŋem, ne wò ŋutilã kple wò ameti blibo la vɔ le eme.
and thou biweile in the laste daies, whanne thou hast wastid thi fleschis, and thi bodi; and thou seie,
12 Àgblɔ be, “Metsri amehehe kɔkɔkɔ! Eye nye dzi do vlo ɖɔɖɔɖo!
Whi wlatide Y teching, and myn herte assentide not to blamyngis;
13 Nyemaɖo to nye nufialawo alo aƒu to anyi ɖe nye amegãwo ŋu o.
nether Y herde the voys of men techinge me, and Y bowide not doun myn eere to maistris?
14 Esusɔ vie donyeme nagblẽ keŋkeŋ le ameha la katã dome.”
Almest Y was in al yuel, in the myddis of the chirche, and of the synagoge.
15 No tsi tso wò ŋutɔ wò tsiʋe me kple tsi dzidzi tso wò ŋutɔ wò vudo me.
Drinke thou watir of thi cisterne, and the floodis of thi pit.
16 Ɖe wòle be wò tsitsetsewo nagbagba ɖe mɔtatawo dzi kple wò tsi sisi ɖe du ƒe ablɔwo mea?
Thi wellis be stremed forth; and departe thi watris in stretis.
17 Wonenye wò ɖeka ko tɔ, mègamae kple ame tutɔwo gbeɖe o.
Haue thou aloone `tho watris; and aliens be not thi parceneris.
18 Woayra wò vudo eye nàkpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe wò ɖekakpuimesrɔ̃ ŋu.
Thi veyne be blessid; and be thou glad with the womman of thi yong wexynge age.
19 Eyae nye zinɔ lɔlɔ̃a kple sãde dzeani la, eƒe nowo neɖi kɔ na wò ɣe sia ɣi, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ nede dzo mewò ɖaa.
An hynde moost dereworthe; and an hert calf moost acceptable. Hir teetis fille thee in al tyme; and delite thou contynueli in the loue of hir.
20 Vinye, nu ka ŋuti nàƒo kpakpakpa ɖe nyɔnu ahasitɔ ŋu? Nu ka ŋuti nàlé alime na ame bubu srɔ̃?
Mi sone, whi art thou disseyued of an alien womman; and art fostrid in the bosum of an othere?
21 Elabena ame sia ame ƒe mɔ le ƒuƒlu le Yehowa ŋkume eye wòdoa woƒe mɔwo katã kpɔ.
The Lord seeth the weie of a man; and biholdith alle hise steppis.
22 Ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo wòwɔna la zua mɔ ɖenɛ, eye eƒe nu vɔ̃ zua ka blanɛ sesĩe.
The wickidnessis of a wyckid man taken hym; and he is boundun with the roopis of hise synnes.
23 Aku le ɖokuidzimaɖumaɖu ta eye eƒe bometsitsi gã la akplɔe atrae.
He schal die, for he hadde not lernyng; and he schal be disseyued in the mychilnesse of his fooli.
