Ilu 15
1 Ọsịsa okwu dị nro na-eme ka iwe na ọnụma laa azụ; ma okwu ike na-akpali iwe.
A soft answere brekith ire; an hard word reisith woodnesse.
2 Ire onye maara ihe na-eme ka ihe ọmụma mụbaa, ma ọnụ onye nzuzu na-ekwupụta okwu enweghị uche.
The tunge of wise men ourneth kunnyng; the mouth of foolis buylith out foli.
3 Onyenwe anyị na-ahụzu ihe niile, anya ya dịkwa nʼahụ ndị ọma na ndị ọjọọ.
In ech place the iyen of the Lord biholden good men, and yuel men.
4 Okwu dị nwayọọ na-eweta ndụ na ume; ma nkwutọ na-eweta ịda mba.
A plesaunt tunge is the tre of lijf; but the tunge which is vnmesurable, schal defoule the spirit.
5 Naanị onye nzuzu na-akpọ ndụmọdụ ndị mụrụ ya ihe efu; ma onye ọbụla na-ege ntị nye mgbanwe na-ezipụta ezi uche.
A fool scorneth the techyng of his fadir; but he that kepith blamyngis, schal be maad wisere. Moost vertu schal be in plenteuouse riytfulnesse; but the thouytis of wickid men schulen be drawun vp bi the roote.
6 Ụlọ ndị ezi omume na-ejupụta nʼọtụtụ akụ, ma akụ ndị na-emebi iwu na-ewetara ha nsogbu.
The hous of a iust man is moost strengthe; and disturbling is in the fruitis of a wickid man.
7 Egbugbere ọnụ onye maara ihe na-agbasa ihe ọmụma, ma obi ndị nzuzu ezighị ezi.
The lippis of wise men schulen sowe abrood kunnyng; the herte of foolis schal be vnlijc.
8 Onyenwe anyị na-akpọ aja ndị ajọ omume asị, ma ekpere ndị ndụ ha ziri ezi na-atọ ya ụtọ.
The sacrifices of wickyd men ben abhomynable to the Lord; avowis of iust men ben plesaunt.
9 Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ ụzọ ndị na-emebi iwu asị, ma ndị na-achụso ezi omume ka ọ na-ahụ nʼanya.
The lijf of the vnpitouse man is abhomynacioun to the Lord; he that sueth riytfulnesse, schal be loued of the Lord.
10 Oke ịdọ aka na ntị na-echere ndị na-ahapụ ụzọ. Onye kpọrọ ịba mba asị ga-anwụ ọnwụ.
Yuel teching is of men forsakinge the weie of lijf; he that hatith blamyngis, schal die.
11 Onyenwe anyị mazuru ihe omimi niile nke ọnwụ na ọkụ ala mmụọ; ọ ga-esikwa aṅaa ghara ịma obi ụmụ mmadụ? (Sheol h7585)
Helle and perdicioun ben open bifor the Lord; hou myche more the hertis of sones of men. (Sheol h7585)
12 Ọ dịghị atọ onye na-akwa emo ụtọ ma a baara ya mba, ya mere ọ dịghị ejekwuru onye maara ihe.
A man ful of pestilence loueth not hym that repreueth him; and he goith not to wyse men.
13 Obi nke na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na-eme ka ihu dị mma. Ihu gbarụrụ agbarụ na-egosi obi nwere ihe mwute.
A ioiful herte makith glad the face; the spirit is cast doun in the morenyng of soule.
14 Obi nwere nghọta na-achọ ịmata ihe, ma ọnụ onye nzuzu na-azụ onwe ya nʼokwu na-abaghị uru.
The herte of a wijs man sekith techyng; and the mouth of foolis is fed with vnkunnyng.
15 Ndụ onye ogbenye jupụtara nnọọ na mgbalị, ma ndị nwere udo nʼobi na-eri oriri mgbe niile.
Alle the daies of a pore man ben yuele; a sikir soule is a contynuel feeste.
16 Ọ dị mma inwe akụnụba dị nta ma bụrụ onye na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, karịa inwe akụ ma nọrọ na nsogbu.
Betere is a litil with the drede of the Lord, than many tresouris and vnfillable.
17 Ọ ka mma bụ oke nri akwụkwọ nri nta nke nwere ịhụnanya, karịa ehi buru ibu a zụziri azụzi nke ịkpọ asị dị na ya.
It is betere to be clepid to wortis with charite, than with hatrede to a calf maad fat.
18 Onye iwe ọkụ na-amalite ọgụ; ma onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ na-eme ka ịlụ ọgụ kwụsị.
A wrathful man reisith chidyngis; he that is pacient, swagith chidyngis reisid.
19 Eji ogwu gbochie ụzọ onye umengwụ, ma ụzọ onye omume ya ziri ezi bụ ụzọ dị larịị.
The weie of slow men is an hegge of thornes; the weie of iust men is with out hirtyng.
20 Nwa nke maara ihe na-eme ka obi tọọ nna ya ụtọ, ma onye nzuzu na-eleda nne ya anya.
A wise sone makith glad the fadir; and a fonned man dispisith his modir.
21 Onye na-enweghị uche na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime amaghị ihe ya, ma onye nwere nghọta na-aga ije nʼụzọ ziri ezi.
Foli is ioye to a fool; and a prudent man schal dresse hise steppis.
22 Nzube na-enweghị ndụmọdụ na-ama afọ nʼala, ma ndị ndụmọdụ dịrị ọtụtụ ọganihu ga-adị.
Thouytis ben distried, where no counsel is; but where many counseleris ben, tho ben confermyd.
23 Ọṅụ na-adị mgbe mmadụ natara ọsịsa dị mma, okwu e kwuru nʼoge o kwesiri dị mma.
A man is glad in the sentence of his mouth; and a couenable word is best.
24 Ụzọ ndụ na-agbago elu nye onye nwere uche, iwezuga ha site na-ịgbada nʼala mmụọ dị nʼokpuru. (Sheol h7585)
The path of lijf is on a lernyd man; that he bowe awei fro the laste helle. (Sheol h7585)
25 Onyenwe anyị na-adọtu ma na-adọrisi ụlọ nke onye mpako, ma oke ala nke nwanyị di ya nwụrụ ka ọ na-elekọta.
The Lord schal distrie the hows of proude men; and he schal make stidefast the coostis of a widewe.
26 Echiche ọjọọ niile nke ndị na-emebi iwu ka Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ asị ma okwu ebere niile dị ọcha nʼanya ya.
Iuele thouytis is abhomynacioun of the Lord; and a cleene word moost fair schal be maad stidfast of hym.
27 Onye anya ukwu na-ewetara ezinaụlọ ya nsogbu. Ma onye kpọrọ iri ngarị asị ga-adị ndụ.
He that sueth aueryce, disturblith his hous; but he that hatith yiftis schal lyue. Synnes ben purgid bi merci and feith; ech man bowith awei fro yuel bi the drede of the Lord.
28 Obi onye ezi omume na-atule ọsịsa ya ma ọnụ nke onye ajọ omume na-asọpụta ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche.
The soule of a iust man bithenkith obedience; the mouth of wickid men is ful of yuelis.
29 Onyenwe anyị anọghị ndị na-emebi iwu nso; ma ọ na-anụ ekpere ndị ezi omume.
The Lord is fer fro wickid men; and he schal here the preyers of iust men.
30 Ihu ọchị na-eweta obi ụtọ. Akụkọ ọma na-enyekwa ọkpụkpụ ndụ.
The liyt of iyen makith glad the soule; good fame makith fat the boonys.
31 Onye na-ege ntị nye ịba mba nke na-enye ndụ ga-esoro ndị amamihe nọrọ.
The eere that herith the blamyngis of lijf, schal dwelle in the myddis of wise men.
32 Onye jụrụ ịdọ aka na ntị kpọrọ onwe ya asị ma onye ọbụla naara ndụmọdụ nwere nghọta.
He that castith awei chastisyng, dispisith his soule; but he that assentith to blamyngis, is pesible holdere of the herte.
33 Ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ amamihe na-abịa site nʼịdọ aka na ntị; onye dị umeala nʼobi ga-anata ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
The drede of the Lord is teching of wisdom; and mekenesse goith bifore glorie.
