¹ OṢUWỌN eke irira ni loju Oluwa; ṣugbọn òṣuwọn otitọ ni didùn inu rẹ̀.

¹ A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

² Bi igberaga ba de, nigbana ni itiju de, ṣugbọn ọgbọ́n wà pẹlu onirẹlẹ.

² When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

³ Otitọ aduro-ṣinṣin ni yio ma tọ́ wọn; ṣugbọn arekereke awọn olurekọja ni yio pa wọn run.

³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

⁴ Ọrọ̀ kì ini anfani li ọjọ ibinu: ṣugbọn ododo ni igbani lọwọ ikú.

⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

⁵ Ododo ẹni-pipé yio ma tọ́ ọ̀na rẹ̀: ṣugbọn enia buburu yio ṣubu ninu ìwa-buburu rẹ̀.

⁵ The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

⁶ Ododo awọn aduro-ṣinṣin yio gbà wọn là: ṣugbọn awọn olurekọja li a o mu ninu iṣekuṣe wọn:

⁶ The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

⁷ Nigbati enia buburu ba kú, ireti rẹ̀ a dasan, ireti awọn alaiṣedede enia a si dasan.

⁷ When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

⁹ Ẹnu li agabagebe ifi pa aladugbo rẹ̀: ṣugbọn ìmọ li a o fi gbà awọn olododo silẹ.

⁹ An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

¹⁰ Nigbati o ba nṣe rere fun olododo, ilu a yọ̀: nigbati enia buburu ba ṣegbe, igbe-ayọ̀ a ta.

¹⁰ When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

¹¹ Nipa ibukún aduro-ṣinṣin ilu a gbé lèke: ṣugbọn a bì i ṣubu nipa ẹnu enia buburu.

¹¹ By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

¹² Ẹniti oye kù fun gàn ọmọnikeji rẹ̀; ṣugbọn ẹni oye a pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.

¹² He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

¹³ Ẹniti nṣofofo fi ọ̀ran ipamọ́ hàn; ṣugbọn ẹniti nṣe olõtọ-ọkàn a pa ọ̀rọ na mọ́.

¹³ A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

¹⁴ Nibiti ìgbimọ kò si, awọn enia a ṣubu; ṣugbọn ninu ọ̀pọlọpọ ìgbimọ ni ailewu.

¹⁴ Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.

¹⁵ Ẹniti o ba ṣe onigbọwọ fun alejo, ni yio ri iyọnu; ẹniti o ba si korira iṣegbọwọ wà lailewu.

¹⁵ He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

¹⁶ Obinrin olore-ọfẹ gbà iyìn: bi alagbara enia ti igbà ọrọ̀.

¹⁶ A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

¹⁷ Alãnu enia ṣe rere fun ara rẹ̀: ṣugbọn ìka-enia nyọ ẹran-ara rẹ̀ li ẹnu.

¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

¹⁸ The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

¹⁹ Bi ẹniti o duro ninu ododo ti ini ìye, bẹ̃ni ẹniti nlepa ibi, o nle e si ikú ara rẹ̀.

¹⁹ As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

²⁰ Awọn ti iṣe alarekereke aiya, irira ni loju Oluwa; ṣugbọn inu rẹ̀ dùn si awọn aduroṣinṣin:

²⁰ They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

²¹ Bi a tilẹ fi ọwọ so ọwọ, enia buburu kì yio lọ laijiya, ṣugbọn iru-ọmọ olododo li a o gbàla.

²³ The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

²⁴ Ẹnikan wà ti ntuka, sibẹ o mbi si i, ẹnikan si wà ti nhawọ jù bi o ti yẹ lọ, ṣugbọn kiki si aini ni.

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
