Proverbs 1 - Listen Online

¹ OWE Solomoni, ọmọ Dafidi, ọba Israeli;

¹ The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

² Lati mọ̀ ọgbọ́n ati ẹkọ́; lati mọ̀ ọ̀rọ oye;

² To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

³ Lati gbà ẹkọ́ ọgbọ́n, ododo, ati idajọ, ati aiṣègbe;

³ To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

⁴ Lati fi oye fun alaimọ̀kan, lati fun ọdọmọkunrin ni ìmọ ati ironu.

⁴ To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

⁵ Ọlọgbọ́n yio gbọ́, yio si ma pọ̀ si i li ẹkọ́; ati ẹni oye yio gba igbimọ̀ ọgbọ́n:

⁵ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

⁶ Lati mọ̀ owe, ati ìtumọ; ọ̀rọ ọgbọ́n, ati ọ̀rọ ikọkọ wọn.

⁶ To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁷ Ibẹ̀ru Oluwa ni ipilẹṣẹ ìmọ; ṣugbọn awọn aṣiwere gàn ọgbọ́n ati ẹkọ́.

⁷ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

⁸ Ọmọ mi, gbọ́ ẹkọ́ baba rẹ, ki iwọ ki o má si kọ̀ ofin iya rẹ silẹ:

⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ Nitoripe awọn ni yio ṣe ade ẹwà fun ori rẹ, ati ọṣọ́ yi ọrùn rẹ ka.

⁹ For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

¹⁰ Ọmọ mi, bi awọn ẹlẹṣẹ̀ ba tàn ọ, iwọ má ṣe gbà.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

¹¹ Bi nwọn wipe, Wá pẹlu wa, jẹ ki a ba fun ẹ̀jẹ, jẹ ki a lugọ ni ikọkọ de alaiṣẹ̀ lainidi.

¹¹ If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

¹² Jẹ ki a gbe wọn mì lãye bi isà-okú; ati awọn ẹni-diduroṣinṣin bi awọn ti nlọ sinu iho:

¹² Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

¹³ Awa o ri onirũru ọrọ̀ iyebiye, awa o fi ikogun kún ile wa:

¹³ We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

¹⁴ Dà ipin rẹ pọ̀ mọ arin wa; jẹ ki gbogbo wa ki a jọ ni àpo kan:

¹⁴ Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

¹⁵ Ọmọ mi, máṣe rìn li ọ̀na pẹlu wọn: fà ẹsẹ rẹ sẹhin kuro ni ipa-ọ̀na wọn.

¹⁵ My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

¹⁶ Nitori ti ẹsẹ wọn sure si ibi, nwọn si yara lati ta ẹ̀jẹ silẹ.

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

¹⁷ Nitõtọ, lasan li a nà àwọn silẹ li oju ẹiyẹkẹiyẹ.

¹⁷ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

¹⁸ Awọn wọnyi si ba fun ẹ̀jẹ ara wọn; nwọn lumọ nikọkọ fun ẹmi ara wọn.

¹⁸ And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

¹⁹ Bẹ̃ni ọ̀na gbogbo awọn ti nṣe ojukokoro ère; ti ngba ẹmi awọn oluwa ohun na.

¹⁹ So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

²⁰ Ọgbọ́n nkigbe lode; o nfọhùn rẹ̀ ni igboro:

²⁰ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

²¹ O nke ni ibi pataki apejọ, ni gbangba ẹnubode ilu, o sọ ọ̀rọ rẹ̀ wipe,

²¹ She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

²² Yio ti pẹ tó, ẹnyin alaimọ̀kan ti ẹnyin o fi ma fẹ aimọ̀kan? ati ti awọn ẹlẹgàn yio fi ma ṣe inudidùn ninu ẹ̀gan wọn, ati ti awọn aṣiwere yio fi ma korira ìmọ?

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

²³ Ẹ yipada ni ibawi mi; kiyesi i, emi o dà ẹmi mi sinu nyin, emi o fi ọ̀rọ mi hàn fun nyin.

²³ Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

²⁴ Nitori ti emi pè, ti ẹnyin si kọ̀; ti emi nà ọwọ mi, ti ẹnikan kò si kà a si:

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

²⁵ Ṣugbọn ẹnyin ti ṣá gbogbo ìgbimọ mi tì, ẹnyin kò si fẹ ibawi mi:

²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

²⁶ Emi pẹlu o rẹrin idãmu nyin; emi o ṣe ẹ̀fẹ nigbati ibẹ̀ru nyin ba de;

²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ Nigbati ibẹ̀ru nyin ba de bi ìji, ati idãmu nyin bi afẹyika-ìji; nigbati wahala ati àrodun ba de si nyin.

²⁷ When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

²⁸ Nigbana ni ẹnyin o kepè mi, ṣugbọn emi kì yio dahùn; nwọn o ṣafẹri mi ni kùtukùtu, ṣugbọn nwọn kì yio ri mi:

²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

²⁹ Nitori ti nwọn korira ìmọ, nwọn kò si yàn ibẹ̀ru Oluwa.

²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

³⁰ Nwọn kò fẹ ìgbimọ mi: nwọn gàn gbogbo ibawi mi.

³⁰ They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

³¹ Nitorina ni nwọn o ṣe ma jẹ ninu ère ìwa ara wọn, nwọn o si kún fun ìmọkimọ wọn.

³¹ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

³² Nitoripe irọra awọn alaimọ̀kan ni yio pa wọn, ati alafia awọn aṣiwere ni yio pa wọn run.

³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

³³ Ṣugbọn ẹnikẹni ti o ba fetisi mi yio ma gbe lailewu, yio si farabalẹ kuro ninu ibẹ̀ru ibi.

³³ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
