Proverbs 14
1 A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish destroyeth it with her owne handes.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n obìnrin kọ́ ilé e rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aṣiwèrè obìnrin fi ọwọ́ ara rẹ̀ fà á lulẹ̀.
2 He that walketh in his righteousnes, feareth the Lord: but he that is lewde in his wayes, despiseth him.
Ẹni tí ń rìn déédé bẹ̀rù Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ọ̀nà rẹ̀ kò tọ́ kẹ́gàn Olúwa.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is the rod of pride: but the lippes of the wise preserue them.
Ọ̀rọ̀ aṣiwèrè a máa ṣokùnfà pàṣán fún ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ ètè ọlọ́gbọ́n a máa dáàbò bò ó.
4 Where none oxen are, there the cribbe is emptie: but much increase cometh by the strength of the oxe.
Níbi tí kò sí ẹran, ibùjẹ ẹran a máa mọ́ tónítóní, ṣùgbọ́n, nípa agbára akọ màlúù ni ọ̀pọ̀ ìkórè ti ń wá.
5 A faithfull witnes will not lye: but a false record will speake lyes.
Ẹlẹ́rìí tí ń ṣọ òtítọ́ kì í tan ni ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́rìí èké a máa tú irọ́ jáde.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdome, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easie to him that will vnderstande.
Ẹlẹ́gàn ń wá ọgbọ́n kò sì rí rárá, ṣùgbọ́n ìmọ̀ máa ń wà fún olóye.
7 Depart from the foolish man, when thou perceiuest not in him the lippes of knowledge.
Má ṣe súnmọ́ aláìgbọ́n ènìyàn, nítorí ìwọ kì yóò rí ìmọ̀ ní ètè rẹ̀.
8 The wisdome of ye prudent is to vnderstand his way: but the foolishnes of the fooles is deceite.
Ọgbọ́n olóye ni láti ronú jinlẹ̀ nípa ọ̀nà wọn ṣùgbọ́n ìwà òmùgọ̀ aṣiwèrè ni ìtànjẹ.
9 The foole maketh a mocke of sinne: but among the righteous there is fauour.
Aláìgbọ́n ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ nígbà tí ó yẹ kí ó ṣe àtúnṣe ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n láàrín àwọn olódodo ni a ti rí ojúrere.
10 The heart knoweth the bitternes of his soule, and the stranger shall not medle with his ioy.
Ọkàn kọ̀ọ̀kan ló mọ ẹ̀dùn ọkàn tirẹ̀ kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tó le è bá ọkàn mìíràn pín ayọ̀ rẹ̀.
11 The house of the wicked shalbe destroyed: but the tabernacle of the righteous shall florish.
A ó pa ilé ènìyàn búburú run, ṣùgbọ́n àgọ́ olódodo yóò máa gbèrú sí i.
12 There is a way that seemeth right to a man: but the issues thereof are the wayes of death.
Ọ̀nà kan wà tí ó dàbí i pé ó dára lójú ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n ní ìgbẹ̀yìn gbẹ́yín, a máa jásí ikú.
13 Euen in laughing the heart is sorowful, and the ende of that mirth is heauinesse.
Kódà nígbà tí a ń rẹ́rìn-ín, ọkàn le è máa kérora; ayọ̀ sì le è yọrí sí ìbànújẹ́.
14 The heart that declineth, shall be saciate with his owne wayes: but a good man shall depart from him.
A ó san án lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́ fún aláìgbàgbọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ̀, ènìyàn rere yóò sì gba èrè fún tirẹ̀.
15 The foolish will beleeue euery thing: but the prudent will consider his steppes.
Òpè ènìyàn gba ohun gbogbo gbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn ronú lórí àwọn ìgbésẹ̀ rẹ̀.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from euill: but a foole rageth, and is carelesse.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run ó sì kórìíra ibi ṣùgbọ́n aláìgbọ́n jẹ́ alágídí àti aláìṣọ́ra.
17 He that is hastie to anger, committeth follie, and a busie body is hated.
Ẹni tí ó máa ń tètè bínú máa ń hùwà aṣiwèrè, a sì kórìíra eléte ènìyàn.
18 The foolish do inherite follie: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Òpè jogún ìwà òmùgọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n a dé ọlọ́gbọ́n ní adé ìmọ̀.
19 The euill shall bowe before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
Ènìyàn ìkà yóò tẹríba níwájú àwọn ènìyàn rere àti ènìyàn búburú níbi ìlẹ̀kùn àwọn olódodo.
20 The poore is hated euen of his own neighbour: but the friendes of the rich are many.
Kódà àwọn aládùúgbò tálákà kò fẹ́ràn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n, ọlọ́rọ̀ ní ọ̀rẹ́ púpọ̀.
21 The sinner despiseth his neighbour: but he that hath mercie on the poore, is blessed.
Ẹni tí ó kẹ́gàn aládùúgbò o rẹ̀ ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ẹni tí ó ṣàánú àwọn aláìní.
22 Doe not they erre that imagine euill? but to them that thinke on good things, shalbe mercie and trueth.
Ǹjẹ́ àwọn tí ń pète ibi kì í ṣìnà bí? Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ń gbèrò ohun rere ń rí ìfẹ́ àti òtítọ́.
23 In all labour there is abundance: but the talke of the lippes bringeth onely want.
Gbogbo iṣẹ́ àṣekára ló máa ń mú èrè wá, ṣùgbọ́n ẹjọ́ rírò lásán máa ń ta ni lósì ni.
24 The crowne of the wise is their riches, and the follie of fooles is foolishnes.
Ọrọ̀ ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn ni adé orí wọn ṣùgbọ́n ìwà aláìgbọ́n ń mú ìwà òmùgọ̀ wá.
25 A faithfull witnes deliuereth soules: but a deceiuer speaketh lyes.
Ẹlẹ́rìí tí ó ṣọ òtítọ́ gba ẹ̀mí là ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́rìí èké jẹ́ ẹlẹ́tàn.
26 In the feare of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall haue hope.
Nínú ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí ó lágbára, yóò sì tún jẹ́ ibi ààbò fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
27 The feare of the Lord is as a welspring of life, to auoyde the snares of death.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa jẹ́ orísun ìyè, tí ń yí ènìyàn padà kúrò nínú ìkẹ́kùn ikú.
28 In the multitude of the people is the honour of a King, and for the want of people commeth the destruction of the Prince.
Ènìyàn púpọ̀ ní ìlú jẹ́ ògo ọba, ṣùgbọ́n láìsí ìjòyè, ọba á parun.
29 He that is slowe to wrath, is of great wisdome: but he that is of an hastie minde, exalteth follie.
Onísùúrù ènìyàn ní òye tí ó pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n onínú-fùfù ènìyàn máa ń fi ìwà aṣiwèrè hàn.
30 A sounde heart is the life of the flesh: but enuie is the rotting of the bones.
Ọkàn tí ó lálàáfíà fi ìyè mú kí ọjọ́ ayé gùn fún ara, ṣùgbọ́n ìlara mú kí egungun jẹrà.
31 He that oppresseth the poore, reprooueth him that made him: but hee honoureth him, that hath mercie on the poore.
Ẹni tí ó fi ìyà jẹ aláìní ń fi ìkórìíra hàn ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ṣoore fún aláìní bu ọlá fún Ọlọ́run.
32 The wicked shall be cast away for his malice: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
Nígbà tí ìyọnu bá dé, a fa àwọn búburú lulẹ̀, kódà nínú ikú àwọn olódodo ni ààbò.
33 Wisedome resteth in the heart of him that hath vnderstanding, and is knowen in the mids of fooles.
Ọgbọ́n wà nínú ọkàn olóye kódà láàrín àwọn aláìlóye, ó jẹ́ kí wọn mọ òun.
34 Iustice exalteth a nation, but sinne is a shame to the people.
Òdodo a máa gbé orílẹ̀-èdè lékè, ṣùgbọ́n ìtìjú ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jẹ́ fún àwùjọ káwùjọ.
35 The pleasure of a King is in a wise seruant: but his wrath shalbe toward him that is lewde.
Ọba a máa ní inú dídùn sí ìránṣẹ́ tí ó gbọ́n ṣùgbọ́n ìbínú rẹ̀ wá sórí ìránṣẹ́ adójútini.
