Ngeche 27
1 Kik isungri kuom kiny, nikech ok ingʼeyo gima odiechiengʼ nyalo kelo.
Haue thou not glorie on the morewe, `not knowynge what thing the dai to comynge schal bringe forth.
2 We ngʼat moro ema opaki, to ok dhogi iwuon; ngʼato machielo, to ok lewi iwuon.
Another man, and not thi mouth preise thee; a straunger, and not thi lippis `preise thee.
3 Kidi pek to kuoyo bende pek, to chandruok ma ngʼat mofuwo kelo pek moloyo gik moko ariyogo.
A stoon is heuy, and grauel is chariouse; but the ire of a fool is heuyere than euer eithir.
4 Mirima kwiny to gero pek moloyo, to en ngʼa manyalo chomore gi nyiego?
Ire hath no merci, and woodnesse brekynge out `hath no merci; and who mai suffre the fersnesse of a spirit stirid?
5 Kwero ngʼato ratiro ber moloyo hera mopandi.
Betere is opyn repreuyng, than loue hid.
6 Adhonde moa kuom osiep inyalo geno, to jasigu medo mana nyoth mar masira.
Betere ben the woundis of hym that loueth, than the gileful cossis of hym that hatith.
7 Ngʼat moyiengʼ ok dwar mor kich, to ngʼatno modenyo kata mana gima kech mitne.
A man fillid schal dispise an hony coomb; but an hungri man schal take, yhe, bittir thing for swete.
8 Mana kaka winyo mabayo moa e ode e kaka ngʼatno mabayo aa e dalane.
As a brid passinge ouer fro his nest, so is a man that forsakith his place.
9 Moo mangʼwe ngʼar gi ubani kelo mor ne chuny, to ber mar osiep ngʼato wuok kuom ngʼado rieko gi adiera.
The herte delitith in oynement, and dyuerse odours; and a soule is maad swete bi the good counsels of a frend.
10 Kik ijwangʼ osiepni kod osiep wuonu, to kik idhi e od owadu ka chandruok omaki, ber dhi ir jabuti machiegni moloyo owadu man mabor.
Forsake thou not thi frend, and the frend of thi fadir; and entre thou not in to the hous of thi brothir, in the dai of thi turment. Betere is a neiybore nyy, than a brothir afer.
11 Bed mariek, wuoda kendo imi chunya mor eka anyalo dwoko ngʼato moro amora machaya.
Mi sone, studie thou a boute wisdom, and make thou glad myn herte; that thou maist answere a word to a dispisere.
12 Ngʼat mariek neno masira kabiro kendo opondo, to ngʼat mofuwo dhiyo adhiya nyime ma ohinyre.
A fel man seynge yuel was hid; litle men of wit passinge forth suffriden harmes.
13 Kaw law ngʼatno mochungʼne ngʼat mokia kaka singo; kawe ka okete singo kar dhako mabayo.
Take thou awei his clooth, that bihiyte for a straunger; and take thou awei a wed fro hym for an alien man.
14 Ka ngʼato ogwedho jabute e lela gokinyi mangʼich, to ochalo mana gi ngʼama kwongʼe.
He that blessith his neiybore with greet vois; and risith bi niyt, schal be lijk hym that cursith.
15 Dhako ma jakoko chalo gi kodh ajiki,
Roouys droppynge in the dai of coold, and a womman ful of chidyng ben comparisond.
16 kwerogo chalo gi gengʼo yamo kata mako moo gi lwedo.
He that withholdith hir, as if he holdith wynd; and auoidith the oile of his riyt hond.
17 Kaka nyinyo piago nyinyo, e kaka ngʼato piago nyawadgi.
Yrun is whettid bi irun; and a man whettith the face of his frend.
18 Ngʼat mopidho ngʼowu biro chamo olembe, to ngʼatno marito ruodhe ibiro miyo luor.
He that kepith a fige tre, schal ete the fruytis therof; and he that is a kepere of his lord, schal be glorified.
19 Kirango pi, to wangʼi iwuon ema ineno, kendo kinono chunyi, to in iwuon ema inenori.
As the cheris of men biholdinge schynen in watris; so the hertis of men ben opyn to prudent men.
Helle and perdicioun schulen not be fillid; so and the iyen of men moun not be fillid. (Sheol h7585)
21 Dhahabu gi fedha itemo gi mach, to dhano itemo gi pak moyudo.
As siluer is preuyd in a wellyng place, and gold `is preued in a furneys; so a man is preued bi the mouth of preyseris. The herte of a wickid man sekith out yuels; but a riytful herte sekith out kunnyng.
22 Kata bed ni iyoko ngʼat mofuwo e pany, iyoke kaka cham miswago, ok inigol fupe oa kuome.
Thouy thou beetist a fool in a morter, as with a pestel smytynge aboue dried barli; his foli schal not be don awei fro him.
23 Bed ni ingʼeyo maber kaka jambi chalo; bende rit maber kwethgi;
Knowe thou diligentli the cheere of thi beeste; and biholde thou thi flockis.
24 nimar mwandu ok sik mochwere, to osimbo mar loch ok nobed ne tiengʼ ka tiengʼ.
For thou schalt not haue power contynueli; but a coroun schal be youun to thee in generacioun and in to generacioun.
25 Ka ongʼad lum oko eka manyien twi, to ka ichoko ne jambi lum manie kor got,
Medewis ben openyd, and greene eerbis apperiden; and hey is gaderid fro hillis.
26 eka iniyud yie rombe milosgo lewni, kendo iningʼiew lowo gi pesa miyudo kuom diek.
Lambren be to thi clothing; and kidis be to the prijs of feeld.
27 Ibiro bedo gi chak mangʼeny mar diek ma ibiro pidhorigo gi joodi kendo pidho nyiri matiyoni.
The mylke of geete suffice to thee for thi meetis; in to the necessarie thingis of thin hous, and to lijflode to thin handmaidis.
