Proverbs 16 - Listen Online

¹ IMURA aiya, ti enia ni, ṣugbọn lati ọdọ Oluwa ni idadùn ahọn.

¹ The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

² Gbogbo ọ̀na enia li o mọ́ li oju ara rẹ̀; ṣugbọn Oluwa li o ndiwọ̀n ọkàn.

² All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

³ Kó iṣẹ rẹ le Oluwa lọwọ, a o si fi idi ìro-inu rẹ kalẹ.

³ Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

⁴ Oluwa ti ṣe ohun gbogbo fun ipinnu rẹ̀: nitõtọ, awọn enia buburu fun ọjọ ibi.

⁴ The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

⁵ Olukulùku enia ti o gberaga li aiya, irira ni loju Oluwa: bi a tilẹ fi ọwọ so ọwọ, kì yio wà laijiya.

⁵ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

⁶ Nipa ãnu ati otitọ a bò ẹ̀ṣẹ mọlẹ; ati nipa ibẹ̀ru Oluwa, enia a kuro ninu ibi.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

⁷ Nigbati ọ̀na enia ba wù Oluwa, On a mu awọn ọtá rẹ̀ pãpa wà pẹlu rẹ̀ li alafia.

⁷ When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

⁸ Diẹ pẹlu ododo, o san jù ọrọ̀ nla lọ laisi ẹtọ́.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

⁹ Aiya enia ni ngbìmọ ọ̀na rẹ̀, ṣugbọn Oluwa li o ntọ́ itẹlẹ rẹ̀.

⁹ A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

¹⁰ Ọrọ isọtẹlẹ mbẹ li ète ọba: ẹnu rẹ̀ kì iṣẹ̀ ni idajọ.

¹⁰ A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

¹¹ Iwọn ati òṣuwọn otitọ ni ti Oluwa: gbogbo okuta-ìwọn àpo, iṣẹ rẹ̀ ni.

¹¹ A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

¹² Irira ni fun awọn ọba lati ṣe buburu: nitoripe nipa ododo li a ti fi idi itẹ́ kalẹ.

¹² It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

¹³ Ete ododo ni didùn-inu awọn ọba: nwọn si fẹ ẹniti nsọ̀rọ titọ.

¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

¹⁴ Ibinu ọba dabi iranṣẹ ikú: ṣugbọn ọlọgbọ́n enia ni yio tù u.

¹⁴ The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁵ Ni imọlẹ oju ọba ni ìye; ojurere rẹ̀ si dabi awọsanma òjo arọkuro.

¹⁵ In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

¹⁶ Lati ni ọgbọ́n, melomelo li o san jù wura lọ; ati lati ni oye, melomelo li o dara jù fadaka lọ.

¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

¹⁷ Òpopo-ọ̀na awọn aduro-ṣinṣin ni ati kuro ninu ibi: ẹniti o pa ọ̀na rẹ̀ mọ́, o pa ọkàn rẹ̀ mọ́.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

¹⁸ Igberaga ni iṣaju iparun, agidi ọkàn ni iṣaju iṣubu.

¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹ O san lati ṣe onirẹlẹ ọkàn pẹlu awọn talaka, jù ati ba awọn agberaga pin ikógun.

¹⁹ Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

²⁰ Ẹniti o fi oye ṣe ọ̀ran yio ri ire; ẹniti o si gbẹkẹ le Oluwa, ibukún ni fun u.

²⁰ He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

²¹ Ọlọgbọ́n aiya li a o pè li amoye: didùn-ète a si ma mu ẹkọ́ pọ̀.

²¹ The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

²² Oye li orisun ìye fun ẹniti o ni i: ṣugbọn ẹkọ́ aṣiwère ni iwère.

²² Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

²³ Aiya ọlọgbọ́n mu ọ̀rọ ẹnu rẹ̀ gbọ́n, o si mu ẹkọ́ pọ̀ li ète rẹ̀.

²³ The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

²⁴ Ọrọ didùn dabi afara oyin, o dùn mọ ọkàn, o si ṣe ilera fun egungun.

²⁴ Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

²⁵ Ọ̀na kan wà ti o dabi ẹnipe o dara fun enia, ṣugbọn opin rẹ̀ li ọ̀na ikú.

²⁵ There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

²⁶ Ọkàn ti o nṣiṣẹ, o nṣiṣẹ fun ara rẹ̀; nitoripe ẹnu ara rẹ̀ li o nsún u ṣe e.

²⁶ He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

²⁷ Enia-buburu hù ìwa-ibi jade, ati li ète rẹ̀ bi ẹnipe iná jijo li o wà nibẹ.

²⁷ An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

²⁸ Alayidayida enia dá ìja silẹ: asọ̀rọkẹlẹ yà awọn ọrẹ́ ni ipa.

²⁸ A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

²⁹ Ẹni ìwa-agbara tàn aladugbo rẹ̀, a si mu u lọ si ipa-ọ̀na ti kò dara.

²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

³⁰ On a di oju rẹ̀ lati gbèro ohun ayidayida: o ká ète rẹ̀ sinu, o pari ohun buburu.

³⁰ He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

³¹ Ade ogo li ori ewú, bi a ba ri i li ọ̀na ododo.

³¹ The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

³² Ẹniti o lọra ati binu, o san jù alagbara lọ; ẹniti o si ṣe akoso ẹmi rẹ̀, o jù ẹniti o ṣẹgun ilu lọ.

³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

³³ A ṣẹ́ keke dà si iṣẹpo aṣọ; ṣugbọn gbogbo idajọ rẹ̀ lọwọ Oluwa ni.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
