Proverbs 27 - Listen Online

¹ MÁṢE leri ara rẹ niti ọjọ ọla, nitoriti iwọ kò mọ̀ ohun ti ọjọ kan yio hù jade.

¹ Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

² Jẹ ki ẹlomiran ki o yìn ọ, ki o máṣe ẹnu ara rẹ; alejo, ki o má si ṣe ète ara rẹ.

² Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

³ Okuta wuwo, yanrin si wuwo, ṣugbọn ibinu aṣiwère, o wuwo jù mejeji lọ.

³ A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

⁴ Ibinu ni ìka, irunu si ni kikún-omi; ṣugbọn tani yio duro niwaju owú.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

⁵ Ibawi nigbangba, o san jù ifẹ ti o farasin lọ.

⁵ Open rebuke is better than secret love.

⁶ Otitọ li ọgbẹ ọrẹ́: ṣugbọn ifẹnukonu ọta li ẹ̀tan.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

⁷ Ọkàn ti o yó fi ẹsẹ tẹ afara-oyin; ṣugbọn ọkàn ti ebi npa, ohun kikoro gbogbo li o dùn.

⁷ The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

⁸ Bi ẹiyẹ ti ima fò kiri lati inu itẹ́ rẹ̀, bẹ̃li enia ti o nrìn kiri jina si ipò rẹ̀.

⁸ As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

⁹ Ororo ati turari mu ọkàn dùn: bẹ̃ni adùn ọrẹ ẹni nipa ìgbimọ atọkànwa.

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Ọrẹ́ rẹ ati ọrẹ́ baba rẹ, máṣe kọ̀ silẹ, bẹ̃ni ki iwọ ki o máṣe lọ si ile arakunrin li ọjọ idãmu rẹ: nitoripe aladugbo ti o sunmọ ni, o san jù arakunrin ti o jina rere lọ.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

¹¹ Ọmọ mi, ki iwọ ki o gbọ́n, ki o si mu inu mi dùn; ki emi ki o le da ẹniti ngàn mi lohùn.

¹¹ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

¹² Amoye enia ri ibi tẹlẹ, o si pa ara rẹ̀ mọ́; ṣugbọn awọn òpe kọja a si jẹ wọn niya.

¹² A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

¹³ Gbà aṣọ rẹ̀ nitoriti o ṣe onigbọwọ alejo, si gbà ohun ẹri lọwọ rẹ̀ fun ajeji obinrin.

¹³ Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

¹⁴ Ẹniti o ba ndide ni kutukutu ti o nfi ohùn rara kí ọrẹ́ rẹ̀, egún li a o kà a si fun u.

¹⁴ He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

¹⁵ Ọṣọrọ-òjo li ọjọ òjo, ati onija obinrin, bakanna ni.

¹⁵ A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

¹⁶ Ẹnikẹni ti o pa a mọ́, o pa ẹfũfu mọ́, ororo ọwọ-ọtún rẹ̀ yio si fihàn.

¹⁶ Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

¹⁷ Irin a ma pọn irin: bẹ̃li ọkunrin ipọn oju ọrẹ́ rẹ̀.

¹⁷ Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

¹⁸ Ẹnikẹni ti o tọju igi-ọpọtọ yio jẹ eso rẹ̀; bẹ̃li ẹniti o duro tì oluwa rẹ̀ li a o buyì fun.

¹⁸ Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

¹⁹ Bi oju ti ikò oju li omi, bẹ̃li aiya enia si enia.

¹⁹ As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

²⁰ Ipò-okú ati iparun kì ikún, bẹ̃ni kì isu oju enia.

²⁰ Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

²¹ Bi koro fun fadaka, ati ileru fun wura, bẹ̃li enia si iyìn rẹ̀.

²¹ As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

²² Bi iwọ tilẹ fi ọmọri-odó gún aṣiwère ninu odo larin alikama, wère rẹ̀ kì yio fi i silẹ.

²² Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

²³ Iwọ ma ṣaniyan ati mọ̀ ìwa agbo-ẹran rẹ, ki iwọ ki o si bojuto awọn ọwọ-ẹran rẹ.

²³ Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

²⁴ Nitoripe ọrọ̀ ki iwà titi lai: ade a ha si ma wà de irandiran?

²⁴ For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

²⁵ Koriko yọ, ati ọmunú koriko fi ara han, ati ewebẹ̀ awọn òke kojọ pọ̀.

²⁵ The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

²⁶ Awọn ọdọ-agutan ni fun aṣọ rẹ, awọn obukọ si ni iye-owo oko.

²⁶ The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

²⁷ Iwọ o si ni wàra ewurẹ to fun onjẹ rẹ, fun onjẹ awọn ara ile rẹ, ati fun onjẹ awọn iranṣẹ-birin rẹ.

²⁷ And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
