Pwovèb 9
Haitian Creole Version
9 ¶ Bon konprann bati kay li, li kanpe l' avèk sèt gwo poto.
2 Li fè yo pare bon vyann pou fè fèt, li fè bon konpoze ak diven, li ranje tab la byen ranje.
3 Li rele sèvant li yo, li voye yo moute kote ki pi wo nan lavil la pou fè tout moun konnen nouvèl la, pou di yo:
4 Nou menm ki poko konn anyen, vini non! Li rele moun san konprann yo, l'ap di yo:
5 Vin manje manje mwen an non! Vin bwè bon diven mwen pare a non!
6 Kite sòt! Vin aprann lavi! Vin mache nan chemen konesans.
7 Si w'ap kouri dèyè yon moun k'ap pase moun nan betiz, l'ap joure ou mete sou li. Si w'ap rale zòrèy yon mechan, l'ap bat ou mete sou li.
8 Pa janm kouri dèyè yon moun k'ap pase moun nan betiz. L'a rayi ou. Men, si w'ap kouri dèyè yon moun ki gen konprann, l'a gen respè pou ou.
9 Si ou pale ak yon moun ki gen bon konprann, w'ap fè l' gen plis bon konprann toujou. Plis w'ap moutre yon nonm debyen, plis l'ap mete sou konesans li.
10 Lè ou gen krentif pou Bondye, se lè sa a ou konmanse gen bon konprann. Si ou konnen ki moun Bondye ye, ou gen lespri.
11 Bon konprann ap fè ou viv lontan. L'ap fè ou wè plizyè lanne.
12 Si ou gen bon konprann, premye moun k'ap pwofite sa se ou menm. Konsa tou, si w'ap pase konesans nan betiz, se ou menm tou k'ap peye konsekans lan pou kont ou.
13 ¶ Moun sòt, se tankou yon fanm ki pale fò, ki pa konn anyen, ki pa wont anyen.
14 Li chita sou yon chèz devan papòt lakay li, li kage chèz li kote ki pi wo nan lavil la.
15 L'ap rele moun ki sou wout yo, ki pa sou bò l'. L'ap di yo:
16 Vini jwenn mwen non, nou menm ki poko konn anyen! Li pale ak moun ki san konprann yo, li di yo:
17 Dlo kay moun toujou pi fre. Manje deyò toujou gen pi bon gou!
18 Men, moun ki pran nan pawòl fanm sa a pa konnen lè yo mete pye lakay li se papye lanmò yo yo senyen. Depi yo antre lakay li, yo deja mouri.

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly
9 Wisdom has built(A) her house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;(B)
she has also set her table.(C)
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls(D)
from the highest point of the city,(E)
4 “Let all who are simple(F) come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(G) she says,
5 “Come,(H) eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.(I)
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;(J)
walk in the way of insight.”(K)
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.(L)
8 Do not rebuke mockers(M) or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.(N)
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.(O)
10 The fear of the Lord(P) is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One(Q) is understanding.(R)
11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.(S)
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman;(T)
she is simple and knows nothing.(U)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,(V)
15 calling out(W) to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(X) she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!(Y)”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.(Z)
