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. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
2 Ìṣúra tí a kójọ nípa ìwà búburú kò ní èrè, ṣùgbọ́n òdodo a máa gbani lọ́wọ́ ikú.
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
3 Olúwa kì í jẹ́ kí ebi máa pa olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ba ète àwọn ènìyàn búburú jẹ́.
The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he thrusteth 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 becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
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 gathereth in summer is a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
6 Ìbùkún ní ó máa ń kún orí olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá máa ń kún ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
Blessings are upon the head of the righteous: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 Ìrántí olódodo yóò jẹ́ ìbùkún, ṣùgbọ́n orúkọ ènìyàn búburú yóò jẹrà.
The memory of the just is blessed: but 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 in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
9 Ẹni tí ó ń rìn déédé, ń rìn láìléwu, ṣùgbọ́n àṣírí ẹni tí ń rin ọ̀nà pálapàla yóò tú.
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
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 causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
11 Ẹnu olódodo jẹ́ orísun ìyè, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà ipá ni ó gba gbogbo ẹnu ènìyàn búburú.
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 Ìríra a máa dá ìjà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìfẹ́ a máa bo gbogbo àṣìṣe mọ́lẹ̀.
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all transgressions.
13 Ọgbọ́n ni a ń bá lẹ́nu àwọn olóye, ṣùgbọ́n kùmọ̀ wà fún ẹ̀yìn àwọn aláìlóye.
In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that 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 a present destruction.
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 labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life; the increase of the wicked to sin.
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 that heedeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
18 Ẹni tí ó pa ìkórìíra rẹ̀ mọ́ jẹ́ òpùrọ́ ẹni tí ó sì ń ba ni jẹ́ jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth 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 wanteth not transgression: but he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
20 Ètè olódodo jẹ́ ààyò fàdákà, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn ènìyàn búburú kò níye lórí.
The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 Ètè olódodo ń bọ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n ń kú nítorí àìlóye.
The lips of the righteous 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.
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow therewith.
23 Aláìgbọ́n a máa ní inú dídùn sí ìwà búburú, ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn a máa ní inú dídùn sí ọgbọ́n.
It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness: and [so is] wisdom to a man of understanding.
24 Ohun tí ènìyàn búburú bẹ̀rù yóò dé bá a; olódodo yóò rí ohun tí ó fẹ́ gbà.
The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25 Nígbà tí ìjì bá ti jà kọjá, ènìyàn búburú a kọjá lọ, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò dúró ṣinṣin láéláé.
When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more: but the righteous is 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 as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ń mú ọjọ́ ayé gígùn wá, ṣùgbọ́n a gé ọjọ́ ayé ènìyàn búburú kúrú.
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 Ìrètí olódodo ni ayọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìrètí ènìyàn búburú jásí òfo.
The hope of the righteous [shall] be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29 Ọ̀nà Olúwa jẹ́ ààbò fún olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ìparun ni ó jẹ́ fún àwọn tí ń ṣe ibi.
The way of the LORD is a strong hold to the upright; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
30 A kì yóò fa olódodo tu láéláé, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú kì yóò dúró pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall 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 righteous bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut off.
32 Ètè olódodo mọ ohun ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, ṣùgbọ́n ètè ènìyàn búburú kò mọ̀ ju èké lọ.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.
