Proverbs 19 - Listen Online

¹ TALAKA ti nrìn ninu ìwa-titọ rẹ̀, o san jù ẹniti o nṣe arekereke li ète rẹ̀ lọ, ti o si nṣe wère.

¹ Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

² Pẹlupẹlu, ọkàn laini ìmọ, kò dara; ẹniti o ba si fi ẹsẹ rẹ̀ yara yio ṣubu.

² Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

³ Wère enia yi ọ̀na rẹ̀ po: nigbana ni aiya rẹ̀ binu si Oluwa.

³ The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

⁴ Ọrọ̀ fà ọrẹ́ pupọ; ṣugbọn talaka di yiyà kuro lọdọ aladugbo rẹ̀.

⁴ Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

⁵ Ẹlẹri eke kì yio lọ laijiya, ati ẹniti o si nṣeke kì yio mu u jẹ.

⁵ A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

⁶ Ọpọlọpọ ni yio ma bẹ̀bẹ ojurere ọmọ-alade: olukuluku enia ni si iṣe ọrẹ́ ẹniti ntani li ọrẹ.

⁶ Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

⁷ Gbogbo awọn arakunrin talaka ni ikorira rẹ̀: melomelo ni awọn ọrẹ́ rẹ̀ yio ha jina si i? o ntẹle ọ̀rọ wọn, ṣugbọn nwọn kò si.

⁷ All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

⁸ Ẹniti o gbọ́n, o fẹ ọkàn ara rẹ̀: ẹniti o pa oye mọ́ yio ri rere.

⁸ He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

⁹ Ẹlẹri eke kì yio lọ laijiya, ẹniti o si nṣeke yio ṣegbe.

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

¹⁰ Ohun rere kò yẹ fun aṣiwère; tabi melomelo fun iranṣẹ lati ṣe olori awọn ijoye.

¹⁰ Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹¹ Imoye enia mu u lọra ati binu; ogo rẹ̀ si ni lati ré ẹ̀ṣẹ kọja.

¹¹ The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

¹² Ibinu ọba dabi igbe kiniun; ṣugbọn ọjurere rẹ̀ dabi ìri lara koriko.

¹² The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

¹³ Aṣiwère ọmọ ni ibanujẹ baba rẹ̀: ìja aya dabi ọ̀ṣọrọ òjo.

¹³ A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

¹⁴ Ile ati ọrọ̀ li ogún awọn baba: ṣugbọn amoye aya, lati ọdọ Oluwa wá ni.

¹⁴ House and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

¹⁵ Imẹlẹ mu ni sun orun fọnfọn; ọkàn ọlẹ li ebi yio si pa.

¹⁵ Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹⁶ Ẹniti o pa ofin mọ́, o pa ọkàn ara rẹ̀ mọ́; ṣugbọn ẹniti o ba kẹgàn ọ̀na rẹ̀ yio kú.

¹⁶ He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

¹⁷ Ẹniti o ṣãnu fun talaka Oluwa li o win; ati iṣeun rẹ̀, yio san a pada fun u.

¹⁷ He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

¹⁸ Nà ọmọ rẹ nigbati ireti wà, má si ṣe gbe ọkàn rẹ le ati pa a.

¹⁸ Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

¹⁹ Onibinu nla ni yio jiya; nitoripe bi iwọ ba gbà a, sibẹ iwọ o tun ṣe e.

¹⁹ A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

²⁰ Fetisi ìmọ ki o si gbà ẹkọ́, ki iwọ ki o le gbọ́n ni igbẹhin rẹ.

²⁰ Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²¹ Ete pupọ li o wà li aiya enia; ṣugbọn ìgbimọ Oluwa, eyini ni yio duro.

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

²² Ẹwà enia ni iṣeun rẹ̀: talaka enia si san jù eleke lọ.

²² The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

²³ Ibẹ̀ru Oluwa tẹ̀ si ìye: ẹniti o ni i yio joko ni itẹlọrun; a kì yio fi ibi bẹ̀ ẹ wọ́.

²³ The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

²⁴ Imẹlẹ enia kì ọwọ rẹ̀ sinu iṣasun, kò si le yọ ọ jade pada wá si ẹnu ara rẹ̀.

²⁴ A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁵ Lu ẹlẹgàn, òpe yio si kiyesi ara: si ba ẹniti o moye wi, oye ìmọ yio si ye e.

²⁵ Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁶ Ẹniti o ba nṣìka si baba rẹ̀, ti o si le iya rẹ̀ jade, on li ọmọ ti nṣe itiju, ti o si mu ẹ̀gan wá.

²⁶ He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

²⁷ Ọmọ mi, dẹkun ati fetisi ẹkọ́ ti imu ni ṣìna kuro ninu ọ̀rọ ìmọ.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

²⁸ Ẹlẹri buburu fi idajọ ṣẹsin: ẹnu enia buburu si gbe aiṣedẽde mì.

²⁸ An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

²⁹ A pèse ọ̀rọ-idajọ fun awọn ẹlẹgàn, ati paṣan fun ẹ̀hin awọn aṣiwère.

²⁹ Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
