Pwovèb 21

Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen

1 Seyè a dirije lespri yon wa, menm jan li dirije yon kouran dlo nan kannal. Li mennen l' kote li vle. 2 Lèzòm mete nan lide yo tou sa y'ap fè dwat. Men, pa bliye, se Seyè a k'ap jije sa ki nan kè yo. 3 Fè sa ki dwat. Pa nan patipri. Sa fè Seyè a plezi pi plis pase bèt ou ta touye pou li. 4 Fè awogans, gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun, se sa ase mechan yo ap chache fè. Tou sa se peche. 5 Lè ou pran san ou pou ou travay, tou sa w'ap fè ap ba ou benefis. Men, lè ou twò prese, ou p'ap janm gen anyen. 6 Moun k'ap mache bay manti pou fè lajan ap kouri dèyè van. Se lanmò y'ap chache. 7 Move zak mechan yo ap fè a ap fini ak yo, paske yo derefize fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye. 8 Moun k'ap fè sa ki mal ap mache sou chemen plen detou. Men, inonsan yo fè sa ki dwat. 9 Pito ou rete pou kont ou nan yon kwen galata pase pou ou rete nan kay ak yon fanm ki toujou ap chache kont. 10 Mechan toujou anvi fè sa ki mal. Yo pa gen pitye pou pesonn. 11 Lè yo pini yon moun ki renmen pase lòt nan betiz, se yon leson pou moun ki pa gen lespri. Men, moun ki gen bon konprann, lè yo pale avè l', li vin gen plis konesans. 12 Bondye pa nan patipri, li konnen sa k'ap pase anndan kay mechan yo. Li fè malè tonbe sou yo. 13 Si ou fèmen zòrèy ou pou ou pa tande pòv k'ap mande ou lacharite, konsa tou pesonn p'ap tande ou lè w'a mande sekou. 14 Lè yon moun fache sou ou, si ou ba li yon kado an kachèt, w'a fè l' vin frèt. Wi, yon kado glise nan pòch li ap kase fe l'. 15 Lè yo rann jistis san patipri, moun ki mache dwat yo gen kè kontan. Men, mechan yo gen kè kase. 16 Lè yon moun pèdi chemen l' pou l' aji tankou moun fou, se lanmò k'ap fè li siyon. 17 Lè ou renmen plezi, w'ap toujou pòv. Lè ou renmen bon bweson ak bon manje, ou p'ap janm gen lajan. 18 Lè pou malè ta tonbe sou moun ki mache dwat yo, se sou mechan yo li tonbe. 19 Pito ou viv pou kont ou nan yon dezè pase pou ou viv nan kay ak yon fanm ki tout tan ap chache kont, ki tout tan ap plenyen. 20 Moun ki gen konprann ap gen gwo richès ak kantite bon manje lakay yo. Men, moun sòt gaspiye tout lajan yo. 21 Lè yon moun pa fè lenjistis, lè li gen bon kè, l'ap viv lontan. Tout zafè l' ap mache byen, y'ap respekte l'. 22 Yon nonm lespri ka pran yon lavil kote ki gen anpil grannèg. L'ap kraze fòs ki t'ap fè yo pa pè anyen an. 23 Veye bouch ou ak lang ou, ou p'ap nan pwoblèm. 24 Moun k'ap pase Bondye nan betiz, se moun ki radi, se moun ki awogan. Yo pa gen konsiderasyon pou pesonn. 25 Parese pa anvi leve ni lou ni lejè. Se sa k'ap touye l' la tou. 26 Tout lajounen l'ap kalkile sou sa l' ta renmen genyen. Men, moun ki mache dwat yo gen pou bay, y'ap bay san gad dèyè. 27 Seyè a pa ka sipòte lè mechan yo ap ofri bèt pou touye pou li. Sa pi mal toujou lè yo ofri bèt pou touye ba li avèk lide mechanste dèyè tèt yo. 28 Temwen k'ap bay manti gen pou l' mouri. Men, yo p'ap koupe pawòl nan bouch moun ki peze sa l'ap di. 29 Mechan toujou pran pòz radi l'. Men, moun ki mache dwat la konnen sa l'ap fè. 30 Devan Seyè a pa gen ni moun konnen, ni moun lespri, ni moun ki gen bon konprann. 31 Moun pare chwal pou y' al fè lagè, men se Seyè a k'ap deside kilès k'ap genyen batay la.
