Ilu 16
1 Mmadụ nwere ike pịa ihe ọ chọrọ ime, ma okwu ikpeazụ ga-esi nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị.
It perteyneth to man to make redi the soule; and it perteyneth to the Lord to gouerne the tunge.
2 Ụzọ niile nke mmadụ dị ọcha nʼanya ya, ma Onyenwe anyị na-atule ebumnobi niile nke mmadụ.
Alle the weies of men ben opyn to the iyen of God; the Lord is a weiere of spiritis.
3 Were ọrụ gị niile nyefee nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-eme ka ha gaa nʼihu.
Schewe thi werkys to the Lord; and thi thouytis schulen be dressid.
4 Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ihe niile rụpụta ebumnuche ya, o bụladị ndị mmebi iwu ka e debere maka ụbọchị mbibi.
The Lord wrouyte alle thingis for hym silf; and he made redi a wickid man to the yuel dai.
5 Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ ndị nwere obi dị mpako asị. Mara nke a nke ọma: Ha aghaghị ịta ahụhụ.
Abhomynacioun of the Lord is ech proude man; yhe, thouy the hond is to the hond, he schal not be innocent. The bigynnyng of good weie is to do riytwisnesse; forsothe it is more acceptable at God, than to offre sacrifices.
6 Ọ bụ site nʼịhụnanya na eziokwu ka eji ekpuchi mmehie; ọ bụkwa site nʼegwu Onyenwe anyị ka mmadụ ji agbanarị mmehie.
Wickidnesse is ayen bouyt bi merci and treuthe; and me bowith awei fro yuel bi the drede of the Lord.
7 Mgbe ụzọ mmadụ na-agbaso na-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, ọ na-eme ka mmadụ ahụ na ndị iro ya dị nʼudo.
Whanne the weyes of man plesen the Lord, he schal conuerte, yhe, hise enemyes to pees.
8 Ọ dị mma inwe ihe nta nʼezi omume karịa inwe ọtụtụ uru nʼụzọ ikpe na-ezighị ezi.
Betere is a litil with riytfulnesse, than many fruytis with wickidnesse.
9 Anyị nwere ike pịa ọpịpịa nʼobi anyị, maọbụ Onyenwe anyị na-edu ije anyị.
The herte of a man schal dispose his weie; but it perteyneth to the Lord to dresse hise steppis.
10 Egbugbere ọnụ eze na-ekwu okwu sitere na-ezi nghọta, ọnụ ya adịghị ekpe ikpe na-ezighị ezi.
Dyuynyng is in the lippis of a king; his mouth schal not erre in doom.
11 Ihe ọtụtụ ziri ezi na ihe niile ha nʼotu dịrị Onyenwe anyị, ihe niile e ji atụ ihe dị nʼime akpa bụ ya mere ha.
The domes of the Lord ben weiyte and a balaunce; and hise werkis ben alle the stoonys of the world.
12 Ndị eze kpọrọ ime ihe na-adịghị mma asị, nʼihi na site nʼezi omume ka ocheeze ji eguzosi ike.
Thei that don wickidli ben abhomynable to the king; for the trone of the rewme is maad stidfast bi riytfulnesse.
13 Ndị eze na-enwe mmasị nʼegbugbere ọnụ na-ekwu eziokwu, ha na-agụ onye na-ekwu eziokwu dị ka ezi mmadụ.
The wille of kyngis is iust lippis; he that spekith riytful thingis, schal be dressid.
14 Iwe eze bụ onyeozi nke ọnwụ. Onye maara ihe ga-eme ka ọ dajụọ.
Indignacioun of the kyng is messangeris of deth; and a wijs man schal plese him.
15 Mgbe ọchị dị nʼihu eze ọ na-ewetara onye hụrụ ya ndụ, ihuọma ya dị ka igwe ojii na-eweta mmiri ozuzo.
Lijf is in the gladnesse of the `cheer of the king; and his merci is as a reyn comynge late.
16 Ọ ka mma inwe amamihe na mmụọ ịghọta ihe karịa inwe ọlaọcha na ọlaedo.
Welde thou wisdom, for it is betere than gold; and gete thou prudence, for it is precyousere than siluer.
17 Ụzọ dị larịị nke onye ziri ezi bụ iwezuga onwe ya pụọ nʼihe ọjọọ, ndị na-echebe ụzọ ha niile na-echebekwa ndụ ha.
The path of iust men bowith awei yuelis; the kepere of his soule kepith his weie.
18 Nganga na-eweta ịla nʼiyi, mpako na-ewetakwa ọdịda.
Pride goith bifore sorewe; and the spirit schal be enhaunsid byfor fallyng.
19 Ọ ka mma ịbụ onye ogbenye nwere obi umeala karịa ịbụ onye nganga, na onye so ndị nganga keta oke nʼihe ha kwatara nʼagha.
It is betere to be maad meke with mylde men, than to departe spuylis with proude men.
20 Onye ọbụla na-aṅa ntị na ndụmọdụ ka ihe na-agara nke ọma, onye a gọziri agọzi bụ onye ahụ nke na-atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi.
A lerned man in word schal fynde goodis; and he that hopith in the Lord is blessid.
21 A na-amata onye nwere uche site nʼụdị nghọta o nwere. Okwu dị ụtọ na-eme ka mmadụ mụta ihe nke ọma.
He that is wijs in herte, schal be clepid prudent; and he that is swete in speche, schal fynde grettere thingis.
22 Inwe uche bụ isi iyi ndụ nye ndị niile nwere ya, ma enweghị uche na-ewetara ndị nzuzu ntaramahụhụ.
The welle of lijf is the lernyng of him that weldith; the techyng of foolis is foli.
23 Obi onye maara ihe na-eme ka e tinye uche nʼokwu ọnụ ya, egbugbere ọnụ ha na-emekwa ka mmụta gaa nʼihu.
The herte of a wijs man schal teche his mouth; and schal encreesse grace to hise lippis.
24 Okwu dị nro na-atọ ụtọ ka mmanụ aṅụ, ọ na-atọ mkpụrụobi ụtọ, na-enyekwa ọkpụkpụ ahụ ike.
Wordis wel set togidere is a coomb of hony; helthe of boonys is the swetnesse of soule.
25 Ọ dị ụzọ nke ziri ezi nʼanya mmadụ, ma nʼikpeazụ ọ na-eduba nʼọnwụ.
A weye is that semeth riytful to a man; and the laste thingis therof leden to deth.
26 Agụụ ihe oriri nke onye ọrụ na-arụpụtara ya ọrụ; agụụ na-akpali mmụọ ya ịga nʼihu.
The soule of a man trauelinge trauelith to hym silf; for his mouth compellide hym.
27 Ndị ọjọọ na-atụpụta echiche ọjọọ, egbugbere ọnụ ha dị ka ọkụ nke na-ekpochapụ ahụ.
An vnwijs man diggith yuel; and fier brenneth in hise lippis.
28 Onye na-emebi iwu na-agbasa ise okwu; ha na-akpali nsogbu, na-ekewa enyi na enyi.
A weiward man reisith stryues; and a man ful of wordis departith princis.
29 Ndị ọjọọ na-arafu ndị agbataobi ha, na-edubakwa ha nʼụzọ ga-ewetara ha mbibi.
A wickid man flaterith his frend; and ledith hym bi a weie not good.
30 Onye ji ikuanya ya ekwu okwu na-atụ atụmatụ ọjọọ, onye na-atabi egbugbere ọnụ ya abụọ ekpebiela ime mmehie.
He that thenkith schrewid thingis with iyen astonyed, bitith hise lippis, and parformeth yuel.
31 Isi awọ bụ okpueze nke mara mma, a na-enweta ya nʼụzọ ezi omume.
A coroun of dignyte is eelde, that schal be foundun in the weies of riytfulnesse.
32 Onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ karịrị onye a maara aha ya. Onye nwere ogologo ntachiobi karịrị onye na-adọta obodo nʼagha.
A pacient man is betere than a stronge man; and he that `is lord of his soule, is betere than an ouercomere of citees.
33 A na-efe nza, nʼihi ịchọpụta uche Onyenwe anyị, maọbụ Chineke nʼonwe ya na-ekpebi ihe a ga-efeta na nza ahụ.
Lottis ben sent into the bosum; but tho ben temperid of the Lord.
