Proverbs 15
1 A soft answere putteth away wrath: but grieuous wordes stirre vp anger.
Icookio rĩa ũhooreri nĩrĩeheragia mangʼũrĩ, no kiugo kĩa ũũru kĩarahũraga marakara.
2 The tongue of the wise vseth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fooles babbleth out foolishnesse.
Rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ rũgaathagĩrĩria ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu gathothokaga ũrimũ.
3 The eyes of the Lord in euery place beholde the euill and the good.
Maitho ma Jehova marĩ kũndũ guothe, magacũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa aaganu o na arĩa eega.
4 A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the frowardnes therof is the breaking of ye minde.
Rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũrehaga kĩhonia nĩ ta mũtĩ wa muoyo, no rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni rũthuthaga ngoro.
5 A foole despiseth his fathers instruction: but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.
Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aregaga ũtaaro wa ithe, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo onanagia ũbaarĩrĩri.
6 The house of the righteous hath much treasure: but in the reuenues of the wicked is trouble.
Nyũmba ya mũndũ mũthingu ĩkoragwo na kĩgĩĩna kĩnene, no uumithio wa andũ aaganu ũmarehagĩra thĩĩna.
7 The lippes of the wise doe spread abroade knowledge: but ye heart of the foolish doth not so.
Mĩromo ya andũ arĩa oogĩ ĩtambagia o ũũgĩ, no tiguo ngoro cia andũ arĩa akĩĩgu ciĩkaga.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable vnto him.
Igongona rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no mahooya ma mũndũ ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru nĩamakenagĩrĩra.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination vnto the Lord: but he loueth him that followeth righteousnes.
Njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no nĩendete andũ arĩa mathingataga ũthingu.
10 Instruction is euill to him that forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.
Iherithia rĩtarĩ rĩa tha rĩetereire mũndũ ũrĩa ũtigĩte njĩra, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũthũire kũrũngwo nĩagaakua.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men? (Sheol h7585)
Gĩkuũ na Mwanangĩko ciikaraga ciĩyanĩkĩte mbere ya Jehova, ĩ nacio ngoro cia andũ-rĩ, ikĩĩanĩkĩte atĩa! (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he goe vnto the wise.
Mũnyũrũrania nĩathũire kũrũngwo; ndangĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũgĩ.
13 A ioyfull heart maketh a chearefull countenance: but by the sorow of the heart the minde is heauie.
Ngoro ngenu ĩtũmaga gĩthiithi gĩthere, no ruo rwa ngoro rũthuthaga roho.
14 The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the foole is fedde with foolishnes.
Ngoro ĩrĩ na gũkũũrana maũndũ nĩĩmaathaga ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu kehũũnagia na ũrimũ.
15 All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but a good conscience is a continuall feast.
Matukũ mothe ma andũ arĩa ahatĩrĩrie nĩ ma thĩĩna, no ngoro ĩrĩa njanjamũku ĩkoragwo na ndĩa hĩndĩ ciothe.
16 Better is a litle with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.
Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini hamwe na gwĩtigĩra Jehova, gũkĩra ũtonga mũnene ũrĩ na kĩnyariirĩko.
17 Better is a dinner of greene herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe and hatred therewith.
Nĩ kaba kũrĩa rwĩga rwa nyeni harĩa harĩ wendo, gũkĩra kũrĩa njaũ noru harĩa harĩ na rũthũũro.
18 An angrie man stirreth vp strife: but hee that is slowe to wrath, appeaseth strife.
Mũndũ ũhiũhaga kũrakara aarahũraga ngarari, no mũndũ mũkirĩrĩria nĩkũhooreria ahooragĩria haaro.
19 The way of a slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is plaine.
Njĩra ya kĩgũũta nĩkũhingwo ĩhingĩtwo na mĩigua, no njĩra ya mũndũ mũrũngĩrĩru nĩ njĩra njariĩ.
20 A wise sonne reioyceth the father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Mwana mũũgĩ atũmaga ithe akene, no mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩ nyina anyararaga.
21 Foolishnes is ioy to him that is destitute of vnderstanding: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.
Ũrimũ ũkenagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa mũkuũku nĩarũngagĩrĩria mĩthiĩre yake.
22 Without cousel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellers there is stedfastnesse.
Mĩbango nĩĩthaataga nĩ kwaga kĩrĩra, no kũrĩ na ataarani aingĩ mĩbango nĩĩgaacagĩra.
23 A ioy commeth to a man by the answere of his mouth: and how good is a word in due season?
Mũndũ nĩaiguaga gĩkeno agĩcookia ũhoro ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, nakĩo kiugo kĩarĩtio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire, kaĩ nĩ kĩega-ĩ!
Harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ njĩra ya muoyo ĩrorete na igũrũ, ĩmũgirie gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will destroye the house of the proude men: but hee will stablish the borders of the widowe.
Jehova nĩamomoraga nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi, no nĩamenyagĩrĩra mĩhaka ya mũtumia wa ndigwa.
26 The thoughts of ye wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure haue pleasant wordes.
Meciiria ma mũndũ mwaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no meciiria ma andũ arĩa atheru nĩmamũkenagia.
27 He that is greedie of gaine, troubleth his owne house: but he that hateth giftes, shall liue.
Mũndũ mũkoroku arehagĩra nyũmba yake thĩĩna, no ũrĩa ũthũire mahaki nĩagatũũra muoyo.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answere: but the wicked mans mouth babbleth euil thinges.
Ngoro ya mũndũ mũthingu nĩĩthimaga macookio mayo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu gathothokaga ũũru.
29 The Lord is farre off from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Jehova aikaraga haraaya na andũ arĩa aaganu, no nĩaiguaga mahooya ma andũ arĩa athingu.
30 The light of the eyes reioyceth the heart, and a good name maketh the bones fat.
Gũtheria gĩthiithi nĩkũrehagĩra ngoro gĩkeno, naguo ũhoro ũrĩa mwega nĩwĩkĩraga mahĩndĩ hinya.
31 The eare that hearkeneth to the correction of life, shall lodge among the wise.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthikagĩrĩria ikaanania rĩrĩa rĩrehaga muoyo nĩagatũũrania na andũ arĩa oogĩ.
32 Hee that refuseth instruction, despiseth his owne soule: but he that obeyeth correction, getteth vnderstanding.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũregaga kũigua agĩkaanio nĩ kwĩnyarara enyararaga we mwene, no mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo agĩĩaga na ũtaũku.
33 The feare of the Lord is the instruction of wisdome: and before honour, goeth humilitie.
Gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩkuo kũheaga mũndũ ũũgĩ, nakuo kwĩnyiihia gũtongoragia gĩtĩĩo.
