Lododowo 9
1 Nunya tu eƒe xɔ eye wòɖo eƒe sɔti adreawo te.
Wisdom bildide an hous to him silf; he hewide out seuene pileris,
2 Etrɔ asi le eƒe lã si wòwu ŋu, tɔtɔ eƒe wain, eye wòɖo eƒe kplɔ̃ hã.
he offride his slayn sacrifices, he medlide wijn, and settide forth his table.
3 Edɔ eƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe dua ƒe kɔkɔƒe ke hedo ɣli be,
He sente hise handmaides, that thei schulden clepe to the tour; and to the wallis of the citee.
4 “Mi bebewuwo katã mige ɖe eme le afii!” Egblɔ na numanyalawo be,
If ony man is litil; come he to me. And wisdom spak to vnwise men,
5 “Miva, miɖu nye nu eye mino nye wain si metɔtɔ.
Come ye, ete ye my breed; and drynke ye the wiyn, which Y haue medlid to you.
6 Miɖe asi le bometsitsi ŋu, ekema mianɔ agbe eye miazɔ le gɔmesese me.
Forsake ye yong childhed, and lyue ye; and go ye bi the weyes of prudence.
7 “Ame si le nya gbem na fewuɖula la le eƒe dzu dɔm eye ame si ka mo na ame vɔ̃ɖi la xɔa dzudzu.
He that techith a scornere, doith wrong to him silf; and he that vndirnymmeth a wickid man, gendrith a wem to him silf.
8 Mègaka mo na fewuɖula o, ne menye nenema o la, alé fu wò; ke boŋ ka mo na nunyala eye alɔ̃ wò nya.
Nile thou vndirnyme a scornere; lest he hate thee. Vndirnyme thou a wise man; and he schal loue thee.
9 Fia nu nunyala, aganya nu ɖe edzi wu, fia nu ame dzɔdzɔe eye agasrɔ̃ nu akpe ɖe esi wònya xoxo la ŋuti.
Yyue thou occasioun to a wise man; and wisdom schal be encreessid to hym. Teche thou a iust man; and he schal haste to take.
10 “Yehowa vɔvɔ̃e nye nunya ƒe gɔmedzedze eye sidzedze Kɔkɔetɔ la nye gɔmesese
The bigynnyng of wisdom is the dreed of the Lord; and prudence is the kunnyng of seyntis.
11 elabena to dzinye wò ŋkekewo adzi ɖe edzi fũu eye woatsɔ ƒewo akpe wò agbenɔƒewo.
For thi daies schulen be multiplied bi me; and yeeris of lijf schulen be encreessid to thee.
12 Ne èdze nunya la, wò nunya ahe viɖe vɛ na wò; ke ne ènye fewuɖula la, wò ɖeka koe akpe fu.”
If thou art wijs; thou schalt be to thi silf, and to thi neiyboris. Forsothe if thou art a scornere; thou aloone schalt bere yuel.
13 Nyɔnu bometsila la le ɣli dom, womekplae o eye menya nu hã o.
A fonned womman, and ful of cry, and ful of vnleueful lustis, and that kan no thing outirli,
14 Enɔ anyi ɖe eƒe aƒe ƒe ʋɔtru nu, enɔ anyi ɖe zikpui dzi le du la ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake
sittith in the doris of hir hous, on a seete, in an hiy place of the cite;
15 le ame siwo va le eme tsom la yɔm, ame siwo lé woƒe mɔ tsɔ tẽe be,
to clepe men passinge bi the weie, and men goynge in her iournei.
16 “Mí ame siwo katã nye bebewuwo la, mige ɖe eme le afii!” Egblɔna na ame siwo menya nu o la be,
Who is a litil man `of wit; bowe he to me. And sche spak to a coward,
17 “Tsi si wofi la vivina, eye nu si woɖu le vivime la vivina!”
Watris of thefte ben swettere, and breed hid is swettere.
18 Ke womenya gɔ̃ hã be ame kukuwo le afi ma o eye eƒe ame kpekpewo le yɔdo ƒe gogloƒe ke o. (Sheol h7585)
And wiste not that giauntis ben there; and the gestis `of hir ben in the depthis of helle. Sotheli he that schal be applied, ether fastned, to hir; schal go doun to hellis. For whi he that goith awei fro hir; schal be saued. (Sheol h7585)
