Ilu 3
1 Nwa m echezọla ihe niile m ziri gị. Ma debe iwu m nʼobi gị.
Mi sone, foryete thou not my lawe; and thyn herte kepe my comaundementis.
2 Nʼihi na ha ga-eme ka ndụ gị dị ogologo ruo ọtụtụ afọ, wetakwara gị udo na ọganihu.
For tho schulen sette to thee the lengthe of daies, and the yeeris of lijf, and pees.
3 Ekwela ka ịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi hapụ gị, kekwasị ha nʼolu gị, deekwa ha nʼelu mbadamba nkume, bụ obi gị.
Merci and treuthe forsake thee not; bynde thou tho to thi throte, and write in the tablis of thin herte.
4 Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-enwe ihuọma na ezi aha nʼanya Chineke na nʼihu mmadụ.
And thou schalt fynde grace, and good teching bifore God and men.
5 Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi gị niile, adaberekwala na nghọta gị.
Haue thou trist in the Lord, of al thin herte; and triste thou not to thi prudence.
6 Nʼihe ọbụla ị na-eme, ka Chineke bute ụzọ, ọ ga-eduzi gị, meekwa ka okporoụzọ gị niile gazie.
In alle thi weies thenke thou on hym, and he schal dresse thi goyngis.
7 A bụla onye maara ihe nʼanya nke onwe gị. Tụọ Onyenwe anyị egwu, kpọọkwa ihe ọjọọ asị.
Be thou not wijs anentis thi silf; drede thou God, and go awei fro yuel.
8 Nke a ga-eme ka i nwee ahụ ike gbaakwa ọkpụkpụ gị ume.
For whi helthe schal be in thi nawle, and moisting of thi boonys.
9 Sọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị site nʼinye ya mkpụrụ mbụ nke akụnụba gị, na mkpụrụ mbụ nke ihe ubi gị.
Onoure thou the Lord of thi catel, and of the beste of alle thi fruytis yyue thou to pore men;
10 Mgbe ahụ ka ọ ga-eme ka ọba gị niile jubigakwa oke, ebe ịnara mmanya gị ga-ejupụta na mmanya ọhụrụ.
and thi bernes schulen be fillid with abundaunce, and pressours schulen flowe with wiyn.
11 Nwa m nwoke ajụla ịdọ aka na ntị nke Onyenwe anyị, ike agwụla gị ịnagide ịba mba ya.
My sone, caste thou not awei the teching of the Lord; and faile thou not, whanne thou art chastisid of him.
12 Nʼihi na ọ bụ ndị Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nʼanya ka ọ na-abara mba, dịka nna si abara nwa ya nke ihe ya na-atọ ya ụtọ mba.
For the Lord chastisith hym, whom he loueth; and as a fadir in the sone he plesith hym.
13 Onye a gọziri agọzi ka mmadụ ahụ bụ onye chọtara amamihe, onye nwetara nghọta.
Blessid is the man that fyndith wisdom, and which flowith with prudence.
14 Nʼihi na amamihe dị mma karịa ọlaọcha, ọ bakwara uru karịa ọlaedo.
The geting therof is betere than the marchaundie of gold and of siluer; the fruytis therof ben the firste and clenneste.
15 Ọ dị oke ọnụahịa karịa ọla rubi, ọ dịghị ihe na-amasị gị e ji atụnyere ya.
It is preciousere than alle richessis; and alle thingis that ben desirid, moun not be comparisound to this.
16 Ndụ ogologo dị nʼaka nri ya; nʼaka ekpe ya ka akụnụba na nsọpụrụ dịkwa.
Lengthe of daies is in the riythalf therof, and richessis and glorie ben in the lifthalf therof.
17 Ụzọ ya bụ ụzọ dị mma bụrụkwa ụzọ udo.
The weies therof ben feire weies, and alle the pathis therof ben pesible.
18 Amamihe bụ osisi nke ndụ nye ndị na-ejide ya aka, e, onye ahụ nke na-ejidesi ya aka ike ka ihe na-agara nke ọma.
It is a tre of lijf to hem that taken it; and he that holdith it, is blessid.
19 Ọ bụ site nʼamamihe ka Onyenwe anyị ji tọọ ntọala ụwa; ọ bụkwa nghọta ya mere ka eluigwe dịrị ebe ọ dị.
The Lord foundide the erthe bi wisdom; he stablischide heuenes bi prudence.
20 Esitere nʼihe ọmụma ya kewaa ogbu mmiri niile, igwe ojii na-atụdakwa igirigi.
The depthis of watris braken out bi his wisdom; and cloudis wexen togidere bi dewe.
21 Nwa m nwoke, ekwela ka ihe abụọ ndị a site nʼihu gị wezuga onwe ha: amamihe na nghọta nke ime ihe dị mma nʼizuzu zuruoke,
My sone, these thingis flete not awey fro thin iyen; kepe thou my lawe, and my counsel;
22 nʼihi na ha na-enye gị ndụ ọhụrụ, ha bụkwaara gị ihe ịchọ mma amara nʼolu gị.
and lijf schal be to thi soule, and grace `schal be to thi chekis.
23 Ha na-eme ka ị na-aga ije nʼụzọ gị na-enweghị ihe egwu maọbụ ihe mkpọbi ụkwụ.
Thanne thou schalt go tristili in thi weie; and thi foot schal not snapere.
24 Mgbe ị ga-edina ala, ị gaghị atụ egwu, ị ga-edina ala ụra gị ga-adị ụtọ.
If thou schalt slepe, thou schalt not drede; thou schalt reste, and thi sleep schal be soft.
25 Ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe mbibi mberede ọbụla maọbụ tụọ egwu ịla nʼiyi nke na-abịakwasị ndị ajọ omume.
Drede thou not bi sudeyne feer, and the powers of wickid men fallynge in on thee.
26 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ ebe ndabere gị, ọ ga-echebekwa gị.
For the Lord schal be at thi side; and he schal kepe thi foot, that thou be not takun.
27 Ejigidele ihe ọma ị pụrụ imere onye ọzọ mgbe ọ dị gị nʼaka ime ya.
Nil thou forbede to do wel him that mai; if thou maist, and do thou wel.
28 A sịkwala onye agbataobi gị laa, bịaghachi azụ echi mgbe i nwere ike ime ya taa.
Seie thou not to thi frend, Go, and turne thou ayen, and to morewe Y schal yyue to thee; whanne thou maist yyue anoon.
29 Agbala izu ọjọọ megide onye agbataobi gị, nʼihi na o nwere ntụkwasị obi nʼebe ị nọ.
Ymagyne thou not yuel to thi freend, whanne he hath trist in thee.
30 Ebola mmadụ ebubo na-enweghị isi, mgbe onye ahụ na-emeghị gị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla.
Stryue thou not ayens a man with out cause, whanne he doith noon yuel to thee.
31 Ekwosola onye na-eme ihe ike ekworo maọbụ họrọ ụzọ ya ọbụla.
Sue thou not an vniust man, sue thou not hise weies.
32 Nʼihi na ndị dị otu a bụ ihe arụ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ na-emeso ndị na-eme ihe ziri ezi mmeso ọma.
For ech disseyuer is abhomynacioun of the Lord; and his speking is with simple men.
33 Ọbụbụ ọnụ Onyenwe anyị dị nʼụlọ ndị na-eme ajọ omume, ma ọ na-agọzi ụlọ ndị ezi omume.
Nedinesse is sent of the Lord in the hous of a wickid man; but the dwelling places of iust men schulen be blessid.
34 Ndị mpako na-akwa emo ka ya onwe ya na-akwakwa emo, ma ndị dị umeala nʼobi ka ọ na-enye amara.
He schal scorne scorneris; and he schal yyue grace to mylde men.
35 Ndị maara ihe na-enweta nsọpụrụ, ma ndị nzuzu na-enweta ihere.
Wise men schulen haue glorie; enhaunsing of foolis is schenschipe.
