It is onour to a man that departith hym silf fro stryuyngis; but fonned men ben medlid with dispisyngis.
4 Onye umengwụ adịghị arụ ọrụ ubi nʼoge ya. Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi ọ pụghị ịchọta ihe oriri.
A slow man nolde ere for coold; therfor he schal begge in somer, and me schal not yyue to hym.
5 Nzube niile nke dị mmadụ nʼobi bụ mmiri dị omimi, ma onye nwere nghọta na-adọpụta ha.
As deep watir, so counsel is in the herte of a man; but a wijs man schal drawe it out.
6 Ọtụtụ mmadụ na-asị na ha nwere ịhụnanya na-adịghị agharịpụ, ma onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, onye pụrụ ịchọta ya?
Many men ben clepid merciful; but who schal fynde a feithful man?
7 Onye ezi omume nke na-ejegharị nʼizuoke, ndị ihe na-agara nke ọma ka ụmụ ga-anọchi ya ga-abụ.
Forsothe a iust man that goith in his simplenesse, schal leeue blessid sones aftir hym.
8 Mgbe eze na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya ikpe ikpe, ọ na-eji anya ya abụọ afụchapụ ihe ọjọọ niile.
A king that sittith in the seete of doom, distrieth al yuel bi his lokyng.
9 Onye pụrụ ị sị, “Emeela m ka obi m dị ọcha; Abụ m onye dị ọcha, mmehie adịghịkwa nʼime m?”
Who may seie, Myn herte is clene; Y am clene of synne?
10 Ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ na ihe ọtụtụ nghọgbu, ha niile bụ ihe arụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
A weiyte and a weiyte, a mesure and a mesure, euer eithir is abhomynable at God.
11 Ọbụladị ụmụntakịrị ka a na-amata site nʼomume ha niile, nke a ọ pụtara nʼomume ha dị ọcha nʼezie a, bụrụkwa ihe ziri ezi?
A child is vndurstondun bi hise studies, yf his werkis ben riytful and cleene.
12 Ntị nke na-anụ ihe na anya nke na-ahụ ụzọ, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị mere ha abụọ.
An eere heringe, and an iye seynge, God made euere eithir.
13 Ahụla ịrahụ ụra nʼanya, ka ị ghara ịghọ onye ụkpa. Bilie, mụrụ anya, rụsie ọrụ ike, ka i nweekwa ihe oriri.
Nyle thou loue sleep, lest nedynesse oppresse thee; opene thin iyen, and be thou fillid with looues.
14 “Lee, ihe a jọrọ njọ, ọ baghị uru,” ka onye na-azụ ahịa na-asị, ma mgbe ọ pụrụ ọ na-anya isi nʼihi ihe ọ zụtara.
Ech biere seith, It is yuel, it is yuel; and whanne he hath go awey, thanne he schal haue glorie.
15 Ọlaedo dị, na ọtụtụ rubi nʼebe ọ bara ụba, ma egbugbere ọnụ nke na-ekwupụta ihe ọmụma bụ ọla dị oke ọnụahịa.
Gold, and the multitude of iemmes, and a preciouse vessel, ben the lippis of kunnyng.
16 Chiri uwe onye ahụ naara onye mba ọzọ nʼaka mbe. Jichiekwa ihe mbe ahụ o nyere nʼihi onye mba ọzọ ọ nara na mbe.
Take thou awei the cloth of hym, that was borewe of an othere man; and for straungeris take thou awei a wed fro hym.
17 Nri e nwetara nʼụzọ aghụghọ na-atọ mmadụ ụtọ. Ma nʼikpeazụ aja ga-eju ya ọnụ.
The breed of a leesing is sweet to a man; and aftirward his mouth schal be fillid with rikenyng.
18 Buru ụzọ nata ndụmọdụ tupu i mee ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ ime; ebula agha ma i bubeghị ụzọ pịa ọpịpịa.
Thouytis ben maad strong bi counselis; and bateils schulen be tretid bi gouernals.

Eritage to which me haastith in the bigynnyng, schal wante blessing in the laste tyme.
22 A sịkwala, “Aga m akwụghachi gị nʼihi ihe ọjọọ a.” Chere Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-abọrọ gị ọbọ.
Seie thou not, Y schal yelde yuel for yuel; abide thou the Lord, and he schal delyuere thee.
23 Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ ihe ọtụtụ gbara iche iche asị, ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ adịghị atọ ya ụtọ.
Abhomynacioun at God is weiyte and weiyte; a gileful balaunce is not good.
24 Onyenwe anyị na-eduzi nzọ ụkwụ niile nke mmadụ. Olee otu onye ọbụla ga-esi ghọta ụzọ ha?
The steppis of man ben dressid of the Lord; who forsothe of men mai vndurstonde his weie?

Falling of man is to make auow to seyntis, and aftirward to withdrawe the vowis.

The lanterne of the Lord is the spirit of man, that sekith out alle the priuetees of the wombe.

Merci and treuthe kepen a kyng; and his trone is maad strong bi mekenesse.
29 Ugwu a na-akwanyere ụmụ okorobịa bụ nʼihi ịdị ike ha, ma isi awọ bụ nsọpụrụ ndị okenye.
The ful out ioiyng of yonge men is the strengthe of hem; and the dignyte of elde men is hoornesse.
30 Ọkpọ na mmerụ ahụ na-ehichapụ ihe ọjọọ, ụtarị na-asachapụ ime ime nke ahụ mmadụ.
The wannesse of wounde schal wipe aweie yuels, and woundis in the priuyere thingis of the wombe.
