Proverbs 31 - Listen Online

¹ Ọ̀RỌ Lemueli, ọba, ọ̀rọ-ẹkọ́ ti ìya rẹ̀ kọ́ ọ.

¹ The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

² Kini, ọmọ mi? ki si ni, ọmọ inu mi? ati kini, ọmọ ẹ̀jẹ́ mi?

² What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

³ Máṣe fi agbara rẹ fun awọn obinrin, tabi ìwa rẹ fun awọn obinrin ti mbà awọn ọba jẹ.

³ Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

⁴ Kì iṣe fun awọn ọba, Lemueli, kì iṣe fun awọn ọba lati mu ọti-waini; bẹ̃ni kì iṣe fun awọn ọmọ alade lati fẹ ọti lile:

⁴ It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

⁵ Ki nwọn ki o má ba mu, nwọn a si gbagbe ofin, nwọn a si yi idajọ awọn olupọnju.

⁵ Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

⁶ Fi ọti lile fun ẹniti o mura tan lati ṣegbe, ati ọti-waini fun awọn oninu bibajẹ.

⁶ Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

⁷ Jẹ ki o mu, ki o si gbagbe aini rẹ̀, ki o má si ranti òṣi rẹ̀ mọ́.

⁷ Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

⁸ Yà ẹnu rẹ fun ayadi, ninu ọ̀ran gbogbo ẹniti iṣe ọmọ iparun.

⁸ Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

⁹ Yà ẹnu rẹ, fi ododo ṣe idajọ, ki o si gbèja talaka ati alaini.

⁹ Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

¹⁰ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

¹¹ Aiya ọkọ rẹ̀ gbẹkẹle e laibẹ̀ru, bẹ̃ni on kì yio ṣe alaini ère iṣẹ.

¹¹ The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

¹² Rere li obinrin na yio ma ṣe fun u, kì iṣe buburu li ọjọ aiye rẹ̀ gbogbo.
