Ngeche 28
1 Jaricho ringo kaonge ngʼama lawe, to joma kare jochir ka sibuor.
The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
2 Ka piny toke tek, to en gi jotelo mangʼeny, to ngʼat mawinjo wach kendo man-gi ngʼeyo rito chik.
For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
3 Jatelo mahinyo jochan chalo kaka kodh oula maywero cham oko.
A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
4 Jogo ma ok rit chik pako ngʼat marach, to jogo marito chik dagi jogo maricho.
They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
5 Jomaricho ok ongʼeyo adiera, to jogo madwaro Jehova Nyasaye ongʼeyo adiera chutho.
Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
6 Ber ngʼat ma jachan ma wuodhe ok cha, moloyo ngʼat ma ja-mwandu ma yorene richo.
Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.

He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
8 Ngʼat mamedo mwandu gi ohala ma malangʼ choko mwandu ne ngʼat machielo, mabiro bedo mangʼwon gi jochan.
He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
9 Ka ngʼato odino ite ne chik, kata mana lemone bende richo.
He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
10 Ngʼat matero ngʼat moriere tir e yo mar richo biro podho e obetone owuon, to ngʼat ma ok cha biro yudo pok maber.
He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
11 Jamoko nyalo paro owuon ni oriek, to jachan man-gi paro matut neno gik manie chuny jamokono.
The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
12 Ka ngʼat makare oloyo, nitie mor maduongʼ, to ka ngʼat marach omi teko mondo otel, ji ringo dhiyo kar pondo.
When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.

He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.

Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
15 Kaka sibuor maruto kata ondiek madwaro kecho e kaka ngʼat marach motelone joma ok nyal.
As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
16 Ruoth ma jasunga onge gi rieko, to ngʼatno mamon gi gik moyud e yo marach biro dak amingʼa.
A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
17 Ngʼat moneko chunye chandore enobed gi kuyo nyaka otho; omiyo kik ngʼato konye.
A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
18 Ngʼatno ma ja-adiera ibiro rito maonge hinyruok, to ngʼatno ma yorene richo biro podho apoya nono.
He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
19 Ngʼat matiyo e puothe biro bedo gi chiemo mogundho, to ngʼat mabayo abaya biro bedo jachan mochwere.
He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.

He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
24 Ngʼat mamayo wuon mare kata min, to owacho niya, “Timo kamano ok rach,” ochal gi ngʼat maketho gimoro.
Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
25 Ngʼat ma jawuoro thoro kelo miero, to ngʼat mogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye biro dhiyo maber.
He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
26 Ngʼat moketo genone kuome owuon ofuwo, to ngʼatno mawuotho e rieko, oritore maonge hinyruok.
Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.

He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.

When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
