Proverbs 7 - Listen Online

¹ ỌMỌ mi, pa ọ̀rọ mi mọ́, ki o si fi ofin mi ṣe ìṣura ṣura pẹlu rẹ.

¹ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

² Pa ofin mi mọ́, ki iwọ ki o si yè; ati aṣẹ mi bi ọmọloju rẹ.

² Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

³ Dì wọn mọ ika rẹ, kọ wọn si wala aiya rẹ.

³ Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

⁴ Wi fun ọgbọ́n pe, Iwọ li arabinrin mi; ki o si pe oye ni ibatan rẹ obinrin:

⁴ Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

⁵ Ki nwọn ki o le pa ọ mọ́ kuro lọwọ obinrin ẹlomiran, lọwọ ajeji ti nfi ọ̀rọ rẹ̀ ṣe ipọnni.

⁵ That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

⁶ Li oju ferese ile mi li emi sa bojuwò lãrin ferese mi.

⁶ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

⁷ Mo si ri ninu awọn òpe, mo kiyesi ninu awọn ọmọkunrin, ọmọkunrin kan ti oye kù fun,

⁷ And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

⁸ O nkọja lọ ni igboro li eti igun ile rẹ̀; o si lọ si ọ̀na ile rẹ̀,

⁸ Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

⁹ Ni wiriwiri imọlẹ, li aṣãlẹ, li oru dudu ati òkunkun:

⁹ In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

¹⁰ Si kiyesi i, obinrin kan pade rẹ̀, o wọ aṣọ panṣaga, alarekereke aiya.

¹⁰ And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

¹¹ (O jẹ alariwo ati alagidi; ẹsẹ rẹ̀ kì iduro ni ile rẹ̀.

¹¹ (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

¹² Nisisiyi o jade, nisisiyi o wà ni igboro, o si mba ni ibi igun ile gbogbo.)

¹² Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

¹³ Bẹ̃li o dì i mu, o si fẹnu kò o li ẹnu, o si fi ọ̀yájú wi fun u pe,

¹³ So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

¹⁴ Ọrẹ́, alafia mbẹ lọwọ mi, loni ni mo ti san ẹjẹ́ mi.

¹⁴ I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

¹⁵ Nitorina ni mo ṣe jade wá pade rẹ, lati ṣe afẹri oju rẹ, emi si ri ọ.

¹⁵ Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

¹⁶ Emi ti fi aṣọ titẹ ọlọnà tẹ́ akete mi, ọlọnà finfin ati aṣọ ọ̀gbọ daradara ti Egipti.

¹⁶ I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

¹⁷ Emi ti fi turari olõrùn didùn ti mirra, aloe, ati kinnamoni si akete mi.

¹⁷ I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸ Wá, jẹ ki a gbà ẹkún ifẹ wa titi yio fi di owurọ, jẹ ki a fi ifẹ tù ara wa lara.

¹⁸ Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

¹⁹ Nitoripe bãle kò si ni ile, o re àjo ọ̀na jijin:

¹⁹ For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

²⁰ O mu àsuwọn owo kan lọwọ rẹ̀, yio si de li oṣupa arànmọju.

²⁰ He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

²¹ Ọ̀rọ rẹ̀ daradara li o fi mu u fẹ, ipọnni ète rẹ̀ li o fi ṣẹ́ ẹ li apa.

²¹ With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

²² On si tọ̀ ọ lọ lẹsẹkanna bi malu ti nlọ si ibupa, tabi bi aṣiwere ti nlọ si ibi ọgbọ́n ìfabà kọ́.

²² He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

²³ Titi ọfà fi gún u li ẹ̀dọ̀; bi ẹiyẹ ti nyara bọ sinu okùn, ti kò si mọ̀ pe fun ẹmi on ni.

²³ Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

²⁴ Njẹ nisisiyi, ẹnyin ọmọ, ẹ feti si temi, ki ẹ si fiye si ọ̀rọ ẹnu mi.

²⁴ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

²⁵ Máṣe jẹ ki aiya rẹ̀ ki o tẹ̀ si ọ̀na rẹ̀, máṣe ṣina lọ si ipa-ọ̀na rẹ̀.

²⁵ Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

²⁶ Nitori ọ̀pọlọpọ enia li o ṣá lulẹ; nitõtọ ọ̀pọlọpọ alagbara enia li a ti ọwọ rẹ̀ pa.

²⁶ For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

²⁷ Ile rẹ̀ li ọ̀na ọrun-apadi, ti nsọkalẹ lọ si iyẹwu ikú.

²⁷ Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
