Proverbs 10
1 Àwọn òwe Solomoni. Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ ń mú inú baba rẹ̀ dùn, ṣùgbọ́n aṣiwèrè ọmọ ń ba inú ìyá rẹ̀ jẹ́.
A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.
2 Ìṣúra tí a kójọ nípa ìwà búburú kò ní èrè, ṣùgbọ́n òdodo a máa gbani lọ́wọ́ ikú.
Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.
3 Olúwa kì í jẹ́ kí ebi máa pa olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ba ète àwọn ènìyàn búburú jẹ́.
The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
4 Ọwọ́ tí ó lẹ máa ń sọ ènìyàn di tálákà, ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ tí ó múra ṣíṣẹ́ a máa sọ ni di ọlọ́rọ̀.
The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.
5 Ẹni tí ó kó irúgbìn jọ ní àsìkò òjò jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó sùn ní àsìkò ìkórè jẹ́ adójútini ọmọ.
He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
6 Ìbùkún ní ó máa ń kún orí olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá máa ń kún ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 Ìrántí olódodo yóò jẹ́ ìbùkún, ṣùgbọ́n orúkọ ènìyàn búburú yóò jẹrà.
The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.
8 Ẹni tí ó gbọ́n nínú ọkàn rẹ̀ máa ń gba àṣẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ètè wérewère yóò parun.
The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
9 Ẹni tí ó ń rìn déédé, ń rìn láìléwu, ṣùgbọ́n àṣírí ẹni tí ń rin ọ̀nà pálapàla yóò tú.
He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.
10 Ẹni tí ń ṣẹ́jú pàkòpàkò fún ibi ń fa àìbalẹ̀ ọkàn, aláìgbọ́n tí ń ṣàròyé kiri yóò parun.
He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
11 Ẹnu olódodo jẹ́ orísun ìyè, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá ni ó gba gbogbo ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.
12 Ìríra a máa dá ìjà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹ́ a máa bo gbogbo àṣìṣe mọ́lẹ̀.
Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.
13 Ọgbọ́n ni a ń bá lẹ́nu àwọn olóye, ṣùgbọ́n kùmọ̀ wà fún ẹ̀yìn àwọn aláìlóye.
In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
14 Ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn kó ìmọ̀ jọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n a máa ṣokùnfà ìparun.
Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
15 Ọrọ̀ àwọn olódodo ni ìlú olódi wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òsì ni ìparun aláìní.
The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
16 Èrè olódodo ń mú ìyè wá fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n èrè ènìyàn búburú ń mú ìjìyà wá fún wọn.
The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.
17 Ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí fi ọ̀nà sí ìyè hàn, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó kọ ìbáwí mú àwọn mìíràn ṣìnà.
The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.
18 Ẹni tí ó pa ìkórìíra rẹ̀ mọ́ jẹ́ òpùrọ́ ẹni tí ó sì ń ba ni jẹ́ jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.
19 Nínú ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀ a kò le fẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kù ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́ jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.
20 Ètè olódodo jẹ́ ààyò fàdákà, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn ènìyàn búburú kò níye lórí.
The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.
21 Ètè olódodo ń bọ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n ń kú nítorí àìlóye.
The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.
22 Ìbùkún Olúwa ń mú ọrọ̀ wá, kì í sì í fi ìdààmú sí i.
The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.
23 Aláìgbọ́n a máa ní inú dídùn sí ìwà búburú, ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn a máa ní inú dídùn sí ọgbọ́n.
A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.
24 Ohun tí ènìyàn búburú bẹ̀rù yóò dé bá a; olódodo yóò rí ohun tí ó fẹ́ gbà.
That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
25 Nígbà tí ìjì bá ti jà kọjá, ènìyàn búburú a kọjá lọ, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò dúró ṣinṣin láéláé.
As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.
26 Bí ọtí kíkan sí eyín, àti èéfín sí ojú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀lẹ sí ẹni tí ó rán an níṣẹ́.
As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.
27 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ń mú ọjọ́ ayé gígùn wá, ṣùgbọ́n a gé ọjọ́ ayé ènìyàn búburú kúrú.
The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 Ìrètí olódodo ni ayọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí ènìyàn búburú jásí òfo.
The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
29 Ọ̀nà Olúwa jẹ́ ààbò fún olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìparun ni ó jẹ́ fún àwọn tí ń ṣe ibi.
The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
30 A kì yóò fa olódodo tu láéláé, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú kì yóò dúró pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.
31 Ẹnu olódodo ń mú ọgbọ́n jáde wá, ṣùgbọ́n ètè àyípadà ni a ó gé kúrò.
The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.
32 Ètè olódodo mọ ohun ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, ṣùgbọ́n ètè ènìyàn búburú kò mọ̀ ju èké lọ.
The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
