Proverbs 29
1 Anyone who goes on stubbornly rejecting many warnings will be suddenly destroyed, without hope of healing.
Omuntu akakanyaza omutima gwe oluvannyuma lw’okunenyezebwa emirundi emingi, alizikirira ng’atamanyiridde awatali kuwona.
2 When good people are in charge, everybody celebrates; but when the wicked rule, everybody groans.
Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana, abantu basanyuka, naye abakakanyalira mu kukola ebikyamu bwe bafuga abantu babeera mu kusinda.
3 A man who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who visits prostitutes throws away his money.
Ayagala amagezi asanyusa kitaawe, naye munne w’abamalaaya ayiwaayiwa obugagga bwe.
4 A king who rules justly makes the country secure, but one who asks for bribes will destroy it.
Kabaka afuga n’obwenkanya, abantu be baba mu butebenkevu, naye oyo alulunkanira enguzi, ensi agyonoona.
5 Those who flatter their friends lay a net to trip them up.
Omuntu awaanawaana munne, aba yeetega yekka ekitimba.
6 Evil people are trapped by their own sins, but those who do right sing and celebrate.
Ebibi by’omwonoonyi bye bimutega, naye omutuukirivu abeera mu kuyimba na kusanyuka.
7 Good people care about treating the poor fairly, but the wicked don't think about it at all.
Omutuukirivu afaayo ku nsonga z’abaavu, naye abakozi b’ebibi tebakola bwe batyo.
8 Cynical people can inflame a whole city, but the wise calm angry people down.
Abakudaazi basasamaza ekibuga, naye abantu abalina amagezi baziyiza entalo.
9 When a wise man takes a stupid man to court, there's raging and ridicule, but nothing is settled.
Omuntu ow’amagezi bw’awoza n’omusirusiru, omusirusiru ayongera kusunguwala, n’okujerega ne wataba mirembe.
10 Murderers hate people of integrity, but those who live right try to help them.
Abeegomba okuyiwa omusaayi bakyawa omuntu ow’amazima, era banoonya okusaanyaawo obulamu bwe.
11 Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.
Omusirusiru alaga obusungu bwe bwonna, naye omuntu ow’amagezi abuziyiza n’abukkakkanya.
12 A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.
Omufuzi bw’awuliriza eby’obulimba, abakungu be bonna bafuuka babi.
13 Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.
Omwavu n’oyo amubonyaabonya balina ekibagatta: Mukama bombi ye yabawa amaaso.
14 If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.
Kabaka bw’asalira abaavu emisango n’obwesigwa, obufuzi bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.
15 Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
Akaggo akakangavvula, kaleeta amagezi, naye omwana alekeddwa awo, aswaza nnyina.
16 When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.
Abakozi b’ebibi bwe beeyongera obungi, okumenya amateeka kweyongera, naye abatuukirivu baliraba okugwa kwabwe.
17 Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.
Kangavvula omwana wo, alikuwa emirembe, alireetera emmeeme yo essanyu.
18 Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.
Awatali kwolesebwa abantu tebaba beegendereza, naye wa mukisa oyo akuuma amateeka ga Mukama.
19 A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.
Omuweereza tayinza kubuulirirwa na bigambo byokka; ne bw’aba ategedde tafaayo.
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!
Olaba omuntu ayanguyiriza ebigambo bye? Omusirusiru alina essuubi okumusinga.
21 A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.
Atiitiibya omuweereza we ekiyitiridde ng’akyali mwana muto, oluvannyuma omuweereza aleetera mukama we obuyinike.
22 Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.
Omuntu ow’obusungu aleeta ennyombo, n’omuntu asunguwala amangu ayonoona nnyo.
23 If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.
Amalala g’omuntu galimuleetera okugwa, naye omuntu ow’omwoyo ogwetoowaza alifuna ekitiibwa.
24 A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.
Buli assa ekimu n’omubbi akyawa obulamu bwe ye, era ne bw’alayizibwa tasaanira kubaako ky’ayogera.
25 Being afraid of people traps you, but if you trust in the Lord you're safe.
Okutya omuntu kuleeta ekyambika, naye buli eyeesiga Mukama anaabanga mirembe.
26 Many people look for favors from a ruler, but justice comes from the Lord.
Bangi abanoonya okuganja mu maaso g’omufuzi, naye obwenkanya obwa nnama ddala buva eri Mukama.
27 Good people hate those who are unjust; the wicked hate those who do what's right.
Atali mutuukirivu wa muzizo eri abatuukirivu; era omwesimbu wa muzizo eri abakozi b’ebibi.
