Ilu 9
1 Amamihe ewuola ụlọ ukwu ya nʼelu ogidi asaa.
Wisdom bildide an hous to him silf; he hewide out seuene pileris,
2 O doziela oriri ya nʼusoro, o gbuola anụ ya, gwaakwa mmanya.
he offride his slayn sacrifices, he medlide wijn, and settide forth his table.
3 O zipụkwala ndị ozi ya ka ha gaa kpọọ mmadụ niile, site nʼebe dị elu nke obodo ka ha nọ na-akpọ oku na-asị,
He sente hise handmaides, that thei schulden clepe to the tour; and to the wallis of the citee.
4 “Bịanụ nʼụlọ m, unu ndị niile na-enweghị uche” Ma nye ndị amamihe kọrọ, ọ na-asị,
If ony man is litil; come he to me. And wisdom spak to vnwise men,
5 “Bịanụ, rie nri m, ṅụọkwa mmanya m gwakọtara.
Come ye, ete ye my breed; and drynke ye the wiyn, which Y haue medlid to you.
6 Hapụnụ ụzọ enweghị uche unu, ka unu were dị ndụ; gbasokwanụ ụzọ mmụọ ịghọta ihe.”
Forsake ye yong childhed, and lyue ye; and go ye bi the weyes of prudence.
7 Onye ọbụla na-adọ onye na-akwa emo aka na ntị na-ewetara onwe ya nlelị; onye na-abara mmadụ ọjọọ mba na-enweta nkọcha.
He that techith a scornere, doith wrong to him silf; and he that vndirnymmeth a wickid man, gendrith a wem to him silf.
8 Abarala ndị na-akwa emo mba, ma ọ bụghị ya, ha ga-akpọ gị asị; baara ndị maara ihe mba, ha ga-ahụ gị nʼanya.
Nile thou vndirnyme a scornere; lest he hate thee. Vndirnyme thou a wise man; and he schal loue thee.
9 Kuziere onye maara ihe ihe o kwesiri ịmụta, ọ ga-ama ihe karịa, kuziere onye ziri ezi ihe ọ ga-atụkwasị ihe ọ mụtara nʼamamihe ya.
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 Nʼihi na ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ mmalite amamihe, inwe ihe ọmụma banyere onye Nsọ ahụ bụkwa nghọta.
The bigynnyng of wisdom is the dreed of the Lord; and prudence is the kunnyng of seyntis.
11 Nʼihi na ọ bụ site na amamihe, ka ụbọchị gị ga-adị ogologo. A ga-etinyekwara gị ọtụtụ afọ na ndụ gị.
For thi daies schulen be multiplied bi me; and yeeris of lijf schulen be encreessid to thee.
12 Ị bụrụ onye nwere amamihe, amamihe gị ga-abara gị uru, ma ị bụrụ onye na-akwa emo, naanị gị ga-ata ahụhụ ya.
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 Nwanyị dị nzuzu na-eme mkpọtụ, o nweghị uche; ihere adịghịkwa eme ya.
A fonned womman, and ful of cry, and ful of vnleueful lustis, and that kan no thing outirli,
14 Ọ na-anọ ọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ya, nʼelu oche nʼebe dịkarịsịrị elu nʼobodo,
sittith in the doris of hir hous, on a seete, in an hiy place of the cite;
15 na-akpọ ndị na-aga nʼụzọ oku, bụ ndị na-aga mkpa ha,
to clepe men passinge bi the weie, and men goynge in her iournei.
16 “Ka ndị niile amamihe kọrọ bịa nʼụlọ m.” Ọ na-asịkwa ndị na-enweghị uche,
Who is a litil man `of wit; bowe he to me. And sche spak to a coward,
17 “Mmiri e zutere nʼohi na-atọ ụtọ, nri e riri na nzuzo na-atọkarịkwa nʼụtọ.”
Watris of thefte ben swettere, and breed hid is swettere.
18 Ma ha adịghị aghọta na ndị nʼadịghị ndụ nọ nʼebe ahụ, na ndị ọ kpọrọ oku nri aghọọlarị ndị nọ nʼala mmụọ. (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)
