Proverbs 10
1 Àwọn òwe Solomoni. Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ ń mú inú baba rẹ̀ dùn, ṣùgbọ́n aṣiwèrè ọmọ ń ba inú ìyá rẹ̀ jẹ́.
The proverbs of Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense]. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
2 Ìṣúra tí a kójọ nípa ìwà búburú kò ní èrè, ṣùgbọ́n òdodo a máa gbani lọ́wọ́ ikú.
Treasures of ethical wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
3 Olúwa kì í jẹ́ kí ebi máa pa olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ba ète àwọn ènìyàn búburú jẹ́.
Adonai will not allow the soul of the upright to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire 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.
He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
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 who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
6 Ìbùkún ní ó máa ń kún orí olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá máa ń kún ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
Blessings are on the head of the upright, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
7 Ìrántí olódodo yóò jẹ́ ìbùkún, ṣùgbọ́n orúkọ ènìyàn búburú yóò jẹrà.
The memory of the upright is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 Ẹni tí ó gbọ́n nínú ọkàn rẹ̀ máa ń gba àṣẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ètè wérewère yóò parun.
The wise in heart receives mitzvot ·instructions·, but a chattering fool will fall.
9 Ẹni tí ó ń rìn déédé, ń rìn láìléwu, ṣùgbọ́n àṣírí ẹni tí ń rin ọ̀nà pálapàla yóò tú.
He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
10 Ẹni tí ń ṣẹ́jú pàkòpàkò fún ibi ń fa àìbalẹ̀ ọkàn, aláìgbọ́n tí ń ṣàròyé kiri yóò parun.
One winking with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.
11 Ẹnu olódodo jẹ́ orísun ìyè, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá ni ó gba gbogbo ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
The mouth of the upright is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
12 Ìríra a máa dá ìjà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹ́ a máa bo gbogbo àṣìṣe mọ́lẹ̀.
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all rebellious breaches of relationships.
13 Ọgbọ́n ni a ń bá lẹ́nu àwọn olóye, ṣùgbọ́n kùmọ̀ wà fún ẹ̀yìn àwọn aláìlóye.
Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
14 Ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn kó ìmọ̀ jọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n a máa ṣokùnfà ìparun.
Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
15 Ọrọ̀ àwọn olódodo ni ìlú olódi wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òsì ni ìparun aláìní.
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction 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 labor of the upright leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to habitual sin ·missing the mark·.
17 Ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí fi ọ̀nà sí ìyè hàn, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó kọ ìbáwí mú àwọn mìíràn ṣìnà.
He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
18 Ẹni tí ó pa ìkórìíra rẹ̀ mọ́ jẹ́ òpùrọ́ ẹni tí ó sì ń ba ni jẹ́ jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
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 is no lack of rebellious breach of relationship, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
20 Ètè olódodo jẹ́ ààyò fàdákà, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn ènìyàn búburú kò níye lórí.
The tongue of the upright is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 Ètè olódodo ń bọ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n ń kú nítorí àìlóye.
The lips of the upright feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22 Ìbùkún Olúwa ń mú ọrọ̀ wá, kì í sì í fi ìdààmú sí i.
Adonai’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
23 Aláìgbọ́n a máa ní inú dídùn sí ìwà búburú, ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn a máa ní inú dídùn sí ọgbọ́n.
It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
24 Ohun tí ènìyàn búburú bẹ̀rù yóò dé bá a; olódodo yóò rí ohun tí ó fẹ́ gbà.
What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the upright will be granted.
25 Nígbà tí ìjì bá ti jà kọjá, ènìyàn búburú a kọjá lọ, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò dúró ṣinṣin láéláé.
When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the upright stand firm forever.
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 as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
27 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ń mú ọjọ́ ayé gígùn wá, ṣùgbọ́n a gé ọjọ́ ayé ènìyàn búburú kúrú.
The fear of Adonai prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 Ìrètí olódodo ni ayọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí ènìyàn búburú jásí òfo.
The prospect of the upright is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
29 Ọ̀nà Olúwa jẹ́ ààbò fún olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìparun ni ó jẹ́ fún àwọn tí ń ṣe ibi.
The way of Adonai is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of vain striving of iniquity.
30 A kì yóò fa olódodo tu láéláé, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú kì yóò dúró pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
The upright will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
31 Ẹnu olódodo ń mú ọgbọ́n jáde wá, ṣùgbọ́n ètè àyípadà ni a ó gé kúrò.
The mouth of the upright produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 Ètè olódodo mọ ohun ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, ṣùgbọ́n ètè ènìyàn búburú kò mọ̀ ju èké lọ.
The lips of the upright know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
