Proverbs 9 - Listen Online

¹ ỌGBỌ́N ti kọ́ ile rẹ̀, o si gbẹ́ ọwọ̀n rẹ̀ meje:

¹ Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

² O ti pa ẹran rẹ̀; o ti ṣe àdalu ọti-waini rẹ̀; o si ti tẹ́ tabili rẹ̀.

² She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

³ O ti ran awọn ọmọbinrin rẹ̀ jade, o nke lori ibi giga ilu, pe,

³ She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

⁴ Ẹnikẹni ti o ṣe òpe ki o yà si ihin: fun ẹniti oye kù fun, o wipe,

⁴ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

⁵ Wá, jẹ ninu onjẹ mi, ki o si mu ninu ọti-waini mi ti mo dàlu.

⁵ Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

⁶ Kọ̀ iwere silẹ ki o si yè; ki o si ma rìn li ọ̀na oye.

⁶ Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

⁷ Ẹniti o ba ba ẹlẹgàn wi, yio gba itiju fun ara rẹ̀, ati ẹniti o ba ba enia buburu wi yio gbà àbuku rẹ̀.

⁷ He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

⁸ Máṣe ba ẹlẹgàn wi, ki o má ba korira rẹ, ba ọlọgbọ́n enia wi, yio si ma fẹ ọ.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹ Fi ẹkọ́ fun ọlọgbọ́n enia, yio si ma gbọ́n siwaju, kọ́ enia olõtọ, yio si ma fẹ ọ.

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰ Ibẹ̀ru Oluwa ni ipilẹṣẹ ọgbọ́n: ati ìmọ Ẹni-Mimọ́ li oye.

¹⁰ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

¹¹ Nitori nipasẹ mi li ọjọ rẹ yio ma lé si i, ati ọdun ìye rẹ yio si ma lé si i.

¹¹ For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

¹² Bi iwọ ba gbọ́n, iwọ o gbọ́n fun ara rẹ: ṣugbọn bi iwọ ba iṣe ẹlẹgàn, iwọ nikan ni yio rù u.

¹² If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

¹³ Alaroye li aṣiwere obinrin: òpe ni kò si mọ̀ nkan.

¹³ A foolish woman is clamourous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

¹⁴ O sa joko li ẹnu-ọ̀na ile rẹ̀, lori apoti, ni ibi giga ilu.

¹⁴ For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

¹⁵ Lati ma pè awọn ti nkọja nibẹ, ti nrìn ọ̀na ganran wọn lọ: pe,

¹⁵ To call passengers who go right on their ways:

¹⁶ Ẹnikẹni ti o ba ṣe òpe, ki o yà si ìhin: ẹniti oye kù fun, o wi fun u pe,

¹⁶ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

¹⁷ Omi ole dùn, ati onjẹ ikọkọ si ṣe didùn.

¹⁷ Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

¹⁸ Ṣugbọn on kò mọ̀ pe awọn okú wà nibẹ: ati pe awọn alapejẹ rẹ̀ wà ni isalẹ ọrun-apadi.

¹⁸ But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
