Proverbs 11
1 False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
Minzaani eteri ya mazima ya muzizo eri Mukama, naye ebipimo ebituufu bye bimusanyusa.
2 When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
Amalala bwe gajja, ng’obuswavu butuuse, naye obwetoowaze buleeta amagezi.
3 The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
Obwesimbu bw’abatuukirivu bubaluŋŋamya, naye enkwe z’abatali beesigwa zibazikirizisa.
4 Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
Obugagga tebugasa ku lunaku olw’okusalirwako omusango, naye obutuukirivu buwonya okufa.
5 The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
Obutuukirivu bw’abalongoofu bubatambuliza mu kkubo eggolokofu naye abakozi b’ebibi bagwa olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebibi.
6 The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
Obutuukirivu bw’abagolokofu bubawonya, naye abatali beesigwa bagwa mu mutego olw’okwegomba ebibi.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
Omukozi w’ebibi bw’afa, essuubi lye libula, ne byonna bye yasuubira mu maanyi bikoma.
8 The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
Omutuukirivu aggyibwa mu mitawaana, naye jjijjira omukozi w’ebibi.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
Akamwa k’oyo atatya Katonda, kazikiriza muliraanwa, naye olw’okumanya, abatuukirivu bawona.
10 In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana ekibuga kijaguza; abakozi b’ebibi bwe bazikirira wawulirwawo amaloboozi ag’essanyu.
11 By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
Omukisa gw’abatuukirivu gukulaakulanya ekibuga: naye olw’akamwa k’abakozi b’ebibi, ekibuga kizikirizibwa.
12 He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
Omuntu atalina magezi anyooma muliraanwa we, naye omuntu ategeera akuuma olulimi lwe.
13 Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
Aseetula olugambo atta obwesigwa, naye omuntu omwesigwa akuuma ekyama.
14 Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
Awatali kuluŋŋamizibwa eggwanga lidobonkana, naye abawi b’amagezi abangi baleeta obuwanguzi.
15 Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
Eyeeyimirira omuntu gw’atamanyiko alibonaabona, naye oyo akyawa okweyimirira aliba bulungi.
16 A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
Omukazi ow’ekisa aweebwa ekitiibwa, naye abasajja ab’amawaggali bakoma ku bugagga bwokka.
17 Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
Omusajja alina ekisa aganyulwa, naye alina ettima yeereetako akabi.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
Omukozi w’ebibi afuna empeera ey’obukuusa, naye oyo asiga eby’obutuukirivu akungula empeera eya nnama ddala.
19 As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
Omuntu omutuukirivu ddala alifuna obulamu, naye oyo akola ebitali bya butuukirivu alifa.
20 They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
Mukama akyawa abantu abalina emitima emikyamu, naye ab’amakubo amagolokofu be bamusanyusa.
21 Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
Mutegeerere ddala ng’abakozi b’ebibi tebalirema kubonerezebwa, naye bazzukulu b’abatuukirivu tebalibaako musango.
22 As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
Ng’empeta ya zaabu mu nnyindo y’embizzi, bw’atyo bw’abeera omukazi omulungi atalaba njawulo wakati w’ekirungi n’ekibi.
23 The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
Abatuukirivu bye beegomba bivaamu birungi byereere, naye abakozi b’ebibi bye bakola bisunguwaza.
24 There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
Omuntu agaba obuteerekereza, yeeyongera bweyongezi kugaggawala; naye akwatirira kye yandigabye, yeeyongera kwavuwala.
25 The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
Omuntu agaba anagaggawalanga, n’oyo ayamba talibulako amuyamba.
26 He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
Abantu bakolimira oyo akweka eŋŋaano mu kiseera eky’obwetaavu, naye oyo agitunda mu kiseera ekyo afuna emikisa.
27 He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
Oyo anyiikira okukola obulungi afuna okuganja, naye oyo anoonya ekibi, kimujjira.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
Oyo eyeesiga obugagga bwe aligwa, naye abatuukirivu banaakulaakulananga ne baba ng’amalagala amalamu.
29 He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
Omuntu aleeta emitawaana mu maka g’ewaabwe, alisikira mpewo; era n’omusirusiru aliba muddu w’oyo alina omutima ogw’amagezi.
30 The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
Ekibala ky’omutuukirivu muti gwa bulamu, era n’oyo asikiriza emyoyo gy’abantu ne balokoka wa magezi.
31 Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
Obanga omutuukirivu alifuna ekimusaanidde ku nsi kuno, oyo atatya Katonda n’omwonoonyi balirema obutafuna ekibasaanidde?
