Proverbs 6
1 Mi sone, if thou hast bihiyt for thi freend; thou hast fastned thin hoond at a straunger.
Pitit mwen, si ou pwomèt pou ou reskonsab dèt yon zanmi ou fè, si ou bay pawòl ou pou lajan yon lòt moun prete,
2 Thou art boundun bi the wordis of thi mouth; and thou art takun with thin owne wordis.
si yo pran pawòl ki soti nan bouch ou pou mele ou, si pwomès ou te fè yo tounen yon pèlen pou ou,
3 Therfor, my sone, do thou that that Y seie, and delyuere thi silf; for thou hast fallun in to the hond of thi neiybore. Renne thou aboute, haste thou, reise thi freend;
ay, pitit mwen! men sa pou ou fè pou ou wete tèt ou nan traka sa a. Kouri al jwenn zanmi ou lan, kenbe l' kout.
4 yyue thou not sleep to thin iyen, nether thin iyeliddis nappe.
Pa dòmi sou sa. Pa kite sa trennen.
5 Be thou rauyschid as a doo fro the hond; and as a bridde fro aspiyngis of the foulere.
Degaje ou chape kò ou anba men l', tankou kabrit k'ap chape kò l' anba men kaptè, tankou zwazo k'ap bat pou l' sove nan men chasè.
6 O! thou slowe man, go to the `amte, ether pissemyre; and biholde thou hise weies, and lerne thou wisdom.
Ou menm parese, al pran leson nan men foumi yo. Ale wè jan y'ap viv pou ou manyè konprann lavi.
7 Which whanne he hath no duyk, nethir comaundour, nether prince;
Yo pa bezwen moun pou di yo sa pou yo fè. Yo pa bezwen moun pou veye yo, ni pou ba yo lòd.
8 makith redi in somer mete to hym silf, and gaderith togidere in heruest that, that he schal ete.
Men, yo pase mwa chalè ap fè pwovizyon. Nan tan rekòt, yo ranmase manje mete la.
9 Hou long schalt thou, slow man, slepe? whanne schalt thou rise fro thi sleep?
Parese, kilè w'a sispann pase tout jounen ou kouche sou do? Kilè w'a souke kò ou leve sot nan dòmi?
10 A litil thou schalt slepe, a litil thou schalt nappe; a litil thou schalt ioyne togidere thin hondis, that thou slepe.
W'ap di: Kite m' fè yon ti dòmi. Kite m' fè yon ti kabicha non. M'ap lonje kò m' pou m' pran yon ti repo.
11 And nedynesse, as a weigoere, schal come to thee; and pouert, as an armed man. Forsothe if thou art not slow, thi ripe corn schal come as a welle; and nedynesse schal fle fer fro thee.
Antan w'ap dòmi an, san ou pa konnen, se pòv w'ap vin pi pòv. Grangou ap tonbe sou ou tankou yon vòlè nan gran chemen.
12 A man apostata, a man vnprofitable, he goith with a weiward mouth;
Mechan yo fin deprave. Y'ap mache bay manti toupatou.
13 he bekeneth with iyen, he trampith with the foot, he spekith with the fyngur,
Y'ap twenzi je yo sou moun, y'ap peze gwo zòtèy yo atè. Y'ap fè siy ak dwèt yo.
14 bi schrewid herte he ymagyneth yuel, and in al tyme he sowith dissenciouns.
Se move lide ase ki nan kè yo, yo toujou sou plan. Kote yo pase y'ap pouse dife.
15 His perdicioun schal come to hym anoon, and he schal be brokun sodeynli; and he schal no more haue medecyn.
Se poutèt sa, y'ap rete konsa y'ap fini, y'ap glise tonbe san yo p'ap ka leve ankò.
16 Sixe thingis ben, whyche the Lord hatith; and hise soule cursith the seuenthe thing.
Gen sis bagay Seyè a pa vle wè. Sa m'ap di la a: Gen menm sèt bagay li pa ka sipòte:
17 Hiye iyen, a tunge liere, hondis schedinge out innocent blood,
Se moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun, se moun k'ap bay manti, se moun k'ap touye moun inonsan,
18 an herte ymagynynge worste thouytis, feet swifte to renne in to yuel,
se moun k'ap fè move lide nan tèt yo pou fè mechanste, se moun ki toujou pare pou fè sa ki mal,
19 a man bringynge forth lesingis, a fals witnesse; and him that sowith discordis among britheren.
se fo temwen k'ap bay manti sou moun, se moun k'ap mete frè ak zanmi dozado.
20 Mi sone, kepe the comaundementis of thi fadir; and forsake not the lawe of thi modir.
Pitit mwen, toujou fè sa papa ou di ou fè. Pa janm bliye sa manman ou te moutre ou.
21 Bynde thou tho continueli in thin herte; and cumpasse `to thi throte.
Kenbe pawòl yo nan kè ou, pa janm bliye yo. Mete yo nan kou ou tankou yon kolye.
22 Whanne thou goist, go tho with thee; whanne thou slepist, kepe tho thee; and thou wakynge speke with tho.
Pawòl sa yo va moutre ou bon chemen nan tou sa w'ap fè. Y'ap pwoteje ou lè w'ap dòmi lannwit. Y'a ba ou konsèy lè je ou klè.
23 For the comaundement of God is a lanterne, and the lawe is liyt, and the blamyng of techyng is the weie of lijf;
Pawòl sa yo ap tankou yon lanp pou ou. Sa yo moutre ou ap tankou yon limyè nan lavi ou. Lè y'ap korije ou, lè y'ap rale zòrèy ou, se moutre y'ap moutre ou chemen lavi.
24 `that the comaundementis kepe thee fro an yuel womman, and fro a flaterynge tunge of a straunge womman.
Y'ap fè ou rete lwen fanm k'ap twonpe mari yo, pou ou pa pran nan pawòl dous madan marye ki nan dezòd.
25 Thin herte coueite not the fairnesse of hir; nether be thou takun bi the signes of hir.
Yo te mèt bèl kou yo bèl, pa kite yo pran tèt ou. Pa kite yo pran tèt ou lè y'ap fè je dou ba ou.
26 For the prijs of an hoore is vnnethe of o loof; but a womman takith the preciouse soule of a man.
Yon jennès ka koute yon kraze kòb. Men, yon fanm adiltè dèyè pou l' pran tou sa ou genyen.
27 Whether a man mai hide fier in his bosum, that hise clothis brenne not;
Ou pa ka sere dife anndan rad sou ou pou rad la pa boule.
28 ethir go on colis, and hise feet be not brent?
Ou pa ka mache sou chabon dife pou pye ou pa boule.
29 So he that entrith to the wijf of his neiybore; schal not be cleene, whanne he hath touchid hir.
Konsa tou, se yon gwo danje pou ou kouri dèyè fanm yon lòt gason. Depi ou manyen yon fanm konsa, ou gen pou ou peye pou sa.
30 It is not greet synne, whanne a man stelith; for he stelith to fille an hungri soule.
Menm lè yon vòlò vòlò paske li grangou, se pa sa ki di li pa vòlò pou sa.
31 And he takun schal yelde the seuenthe fold; and he schal yyue al the catel of his hous, and schal delyuere hym silf.
Si yo bare l', y'ap fè l' peye sèt fwa lavalè sa l' pran an. Y'a fè l' bay tou sa li gen lakay li.
32 But he that is avouter; schal leese his soule, for the pouert of herte.
Men, yon nonm ki fè adiltè, se moun fou li ye, se detwi l'ap detwi tèt li.
33 He gaderith filthe, and sclaundrith to hym silf; and his schenschip schal not be don awei.
L'ap pran baton. Y'ap pase l' anba kont betiz, l'ap toujou wont pou sa l' fè a.
34 For the feruent loue and strong veniaunce of the man schal not spare in the dai of veniaunce,
Lè yon mari ap fè jalouzi pou madanm li, nanpwen move tankou l'. Jou li mete men sou nèg la, pa gen anyen li p'ap fè l'.
35 nether schal assente to the preieris of ony; nether schal take ful many yiftis for raunsum.
Li p'ap asepte lajan. Nanpwen kado ki pou fè l' bliye sa.
