² For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

³ Nitoripe ọmọ baba mi li emi iṣe, ẹni-ikẹ́ ati olufẹ li oju iya mi.

³ For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

⁴ On si kọ́ mi pẹlu, o si wi fun mi pe, jẹ ki aiya rẹ ki o gbà ọ̀rọ mi duro: pa ofin mi mọ́ ki iwọ ki o si yè.

⁴ He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

⁵ Ni ọgbọ́n, ni oye: máṣe gbagbe; bẹ̃ni ki iwọ ki o máṣe fà sẹhin kuro li ọ̀rọ ẹnu mi.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

⁶ Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

⁷ Ipilẹṣẹ ọgbọ́n ni lati ni ọgbọ́n: ati pẹlu ini rẹ gbogbo, ni oye.

⁷ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

⁸ Gbé e ga, on o si ma gbé ọ lekè: on o mu ọ wá si ọlá, nigbati iwọ ba gbá a mọra.

⁸ Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

⁹ On o fi ohun-ọṣọ́ daradara si ọ li ori: on o fi ọjá daradara fun ori rẹ.

⁹ She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

¹⁰ Gbọ́, iwọ ọmọ mi, ki o si gbà ọ̀rọ mi; ọdun ẹmi rẹ yio si di pipọ.

¹⁰ Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

¹¹ Emi ti kọ́ ọ li ọ̀na ọgbọ́n; emi ti mu ọ tọ̀ ipa-ọ̀na titọ.

¹¹ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

¹² Nigbati iwọ nrìn, ọ̀na rẹ kì yio há fun àye; nigbati iwọ nsare, iwọ kì yio fi ẹsẹ kọ.

¹² When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

¹³ Di ẹkọ́ mu ṣinṣin, máṣe jẹ ki o lọ; pa a mọ́, nitori on li ẹmi rẹ.

¹³ Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

¹⁴ Máṣe bọ si ipa-ọ̀na enia buburu, má si ṣe rìn li ọ̀na awọn enia ibi.

¹⁴ Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

¹⁵ Yẹ̀ ẹ silẹ, máṣe kọja ninu rẹ̀, yẹ̀ kuro nibẹ, si ma ba tirẹ lọ.

¹⁵ Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

¹⁶ Nitoriti nwọn kì isùn bikoṣepe nwọn hùwa buburu; orun wọn a si dá, bikoṣepe nwọn ba mu enia ṣubu.

¹⁶ For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

¹⁷ Nitori ti nwọn njẹ onjẹ ìwa-ika, nwọn si nmu ọti-waini ìwa-agbara.

¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

¹⁸ Ṣugbọn ipa-ọ̀na awọn olõtọ dabi titàn imọlẹ, ti o ntàn siwaju ati siwaju titi di ọsangangan.

¹⁸ But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

¹⁹ Ọna awọn enia buburu dabi òkunkun: nwọn kò mọ̀ ohun ti nwọn ndugbolu.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

²⁰ Ọmọ mi, fetisi ọ̀rọ mi; dẹti rẹ silẹ si ọ̀rọ mi.

²⁰ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

²¹ Máṣe jẹ ki nwọn ki o lọ kuro li oju rẹ; pa wọn mọ́ li ãrin aiya rẹ.

²¹ Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

²² Nitori ìye ni nwọn iṣe fun awọn ti o wá wọn ri, ati imularada si gbogbo ẹran-ara wọn.

²² For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

²³ Jù gbogbo ohun ipamọ́, pa aiya rẹ mọ́; nitoripe lati inu rẹ̀ wá ni orisun ìye.

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

²⁴ Mu arekereke kuro lọdọ rẹ, ati ète ẹ̀tan jina rére kuro lọdọ rẹ.

²⁴ Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

²⁵ Jẹ ki oju rẹ ki o ma wò ọkankan gan, ki ipenpeju rẹ ki o ma wò gan niwaju rẹ.

²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

²⁶ Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

²⁷ Máṣe yà si apa ọtun tabi si apa òsi, ṣi ẹsẹ rẹ kuro ninu ibi.
