Proverbs 22 - Listen Online

¹ ORUKỌ rere sàn ni yiyàn jù ọrọ̀ pupọ lọ, ati ojurere ifẹ jù fadaka ati wura lọ.

¹ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

² Ọlọrọ̀ ati talaka pejọ pọ̀: Oluwa li ẹlẹda gbogbo wọn.

² The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

³ Ọlọgbọ́n enia ti ri ibi tẹlẹ, o si pa ara rẹ̀ mọ́: ṣugbọn awọn òpe a kọja, a si jẹ wọn niya.

³ A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

⁴ Ere irẹlẹ ati ibẹ̀ru Oluwa li ọrọ̀, ọlá, ati ìye.

⁴ By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

⁵ Ẹgún ati idẹkùn mbẹ li ọ̀na alayidayida: ẹniti o ba pa ọkàn rẹ̀ mọ́ yio jina si wọn.

⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

⁶ Tọ́ ọmọde li ọ̀na ti yio tọ̀: nigbati o si dàgba tan, kì yio kuro ninu rẹ̀.

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

⁷ Ọlọrọ̀ ṣe olori olupọnju, ajigbese si ṣe iranṣẹ fun onigbese.

⁷ The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

⁸ Ẹniti o ba funrugbin ẹ̀ṣẹ, yio ri asan ka: ọpá ibinu rẹ̀ si ti mura tan.

⁸ He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

⁹ Ẹniti o li oju ãnu li a o bukun fun; nitoriti o fi ninu onjẹ rẹ̀ fun olupọnju.

⁹ He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

¹⁰ Ṣá ẹlẹgàn tì sode, ìja yio si jade; nitõtọ ìja ati ẹ̀gan yio dẹkun.

¹⁰ Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

¹¹ Ẹniti o fẹ ìwa funfun aiya, ti o fẹ ọ̀rọ pẹlẹ, ọba yio ṣe ọrẹ́ rẹ̀.

¹¹ He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

¹² Oju Oluwa pa ìmọ mọ́, o si yi ọ̀rọ olurekọja po.

¹² The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

¹³ Ọlẹ wipe, kiniun mbẹ lode, a o pa mi ni igboro.

¹³ The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

¹⁴ Ẹnu awọn ajeji obinrin, iho jijin ni; ẹniti a mbinu si lati ọdọ Oluwa wá ni yio ṣubu sinu rẹ̀.

¹⁴ The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

¹⁵ Li aiya ọmọde ni wère dì si; ṣugbọn paṣan itọ́ni ni yio le e jina kuro lọdọ rẹ̀.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹⁶ Ẹniti o nni talaka lara lati mu ọrọ̀ pọ̀, ti o si nta ọlọrọ̀ lọrẹ, yio di alaini bi o ti wu ki o ṣe.

¹⁶ He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

¹⁷ Dẹti rẹ silẹ, ki o gbọ́ ọ̀rọ awọn ọlọgbọ́n, ki o si fi aiya rẹ si ẹkọ́ mi.

¹⁷ Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

¹⁸ Nitori ohun didùn ni bi iwọ ba pa wọn mọ́ ni inu rẹ; nigbati a si pese wọn tan li ète rẹ.

¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

¹⁹ Ki igbẹkẹle rẹ ki o le wà niti Oluwa, emi fi hàn ọ loni, ani fun ọ.

¹⁹ That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

²⁰ Emi kò ti kọwe ohun daradara si ọ ni igbimọ ati li ẹkọ́,

²⁰ Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

²¹ Ki emi ki o le mu ọ mọ̀ idaju ọ̀rọ otitọ; ki iwọ ki o le ma fi idahùn otitọ fun awọn ti o rán ọ?

²¹ That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

²² Máṣe ja talaka li ole, nitori ti iṣe talaka: bẹ̃ni ki o má si ṣe ni olupọnju lara ni ibode:

²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

²³ Nitori Oluwa yio gbija wọn, yio si gbà ọkàn awọn ti ngbà lọwọ wọn.

²³ For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

²⁴ Máṣe ba onibinu enia ṣe ọrẹ́; má si ṣe ba ọkunrin oninu-fùfu rìn.

²⁴ Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

²⁵ Ki iwọ ki o má ba kọ́ ìwa rẹ̀, iwọ a si gbà ikẹkùn fun ara rẹ.

²⁵ Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

²⁶ Máṣe wà ninu awọn ti nṣe igbọwọ, tabi ninu awọn ti o duro fun gbèse.

²⁶ Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

²⁷ Bi iwọ kò ba ni nkan ti iwọ o fi san, nitori kini yio ṣe gbà ẹní rẹ kuro labẹ rẹ?

²⁷ If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

²⁸ Máṣe yẹ̀ àla ilẹ igbàni, ti awọn baba rẹ ti pa.

²⁸ Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

²⁹ Iwọ ri enia ti o nfi aiṣemẹlẹ ṣe iṣẹ rẹ̀? on o duro niwaju awọn ọba; on kì yio duro niwaju awọn enia lasan.

²⁹ Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
