Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
Nĩ kaba mũndũ mũthĩĩni ũrĩa ũthiiaga na mĩthiĩre ĩtarĩ ũcuuke, gũkĩra mũndũ mũkĩĩgu waragia waganu.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
Ti wega kũgĩa na kĩyo hatarĩ na ũmenyo, ningĩ kũhĩkĩka mũno gũtũmaga mũndũ ahĩtie njĩra.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
Ũrimũ wa mũndũ nĩguo wanangaga muoyo wake, nayo ngoro yake ĩtetagia Jehova.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
Ũtonga nĩwongagĩrĩra mũndũ arata aingĩ, no mũndũ mũthĩĩni nĩeheragĩrwo nĩ mũratawe.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
Mũira wa maheeni ndakaaga kũherithio, na ũrĩa ũitũrũraga maheeni ndageethara.
6 Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
Andũ aingĩ macaragia ũrĩa mangĩendwo nĩ mũnene, na mũndũ mũheani iheo-rĩ, nĩ mũrata wa andũ othe.
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.
Angĩkorwo mũndũ mũthĩĩni nĩatiganagio nĩ andũ ao othe-rĩ, ĩ nao arata ake mangĩkĩmwĩtheema atĩa! O na angĩmathingata akĩmathaithaga, nĩmethiĩrĩire, matirĩ ho.
8 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩgĩĩagĩra na ũũgĩ nĩ ngoro yake mwene endete; ũrĩa ũkenagĩra ũtaũku nĩagaacagĩra.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
Mũira wa maheeni ndakaaga kũherithio, na ũrĩa ũitũrũraga maheeni nĩakoorwo nĩ muoyo.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
Gũtiagĩrĩire mũndũ mũkĩĩgu gũikaraga egangarĩte; gũkĩrĩ ũũru makĩria ngombo gwatha anene!
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
Ũũgĩ wa mũndũ nĩũmũheaga ũkirĩrĩria, riiri wake nĩkũrekera andũ arĩa angĩ mahĩtia mao.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
Marakara ma mũthamaki nĩ ta mũraramo wa mũrũũthi, no ũtugi wake nĩ ta ime rĩrĩ nyeki-inĩ.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
Mwana mũkĩĩgu nĩ mwanangĩko harĩ ithe, na mũtumia wa haaro ahaana ta maaĩ maratata mategũtigithĩria.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
Nyũmba na ũtonga igayagwo kuuma kũrĩ aciari, no mũtumia mũbaarĩrĩri maũndũ oimaga kũrĩ Jehova.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
Ũgũũta ũrehaga toro mũnene, na mũndũ gĩthayo arĩĩagwo nĩ ngʼaragu.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wathĩkagĩra maathani-rĩ, nĩ muoyo wake amenyagĩrĩra, no ũrĩa ũtoonaga bata wa kũmenyerera mĩthiĩre yake nĩagaakua.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguagĩra athĩĩni tha nĩ Jehova akombagĩra indo, nake Jehova nĩakamũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ekĩte.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
Rũithagia mũrũguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro; tiga kwenda gũtũma akooragwo.
19 A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
Mũndũ wa marakara mahiũ no nginya aherithio; ũngĩmũteithũra rĩmwe no nginya ũkaamũteithũra rĩngĩ.
20 Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.
Thikĩrĩria mataaro na wĩtĩkĩre ũrutani, marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩũgaatuĩka mũndũ mũũgĩ.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
Mĩbango ya ngoro ya mũndũ nĩ mĩingĩ, no muoroto wa Jehova noguo ũkaahinga.
22 That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.
Kĩrĩa mũndũ eriragĩria nĩ wendo ũrĩa ũtathiraga, nĩ kaba gũthĩĩna gũkĩra mũndũ wa maheeni.
23 The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
Gwĩtigĩra Jehova gũkinyagia mũndũ muoyo-inĩ: Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ akahurũka aiganĩire, atarĩ na thĩĩna.
24 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.
Kĩgũũta kĩrikagia guoko gwakĩo thaani-inĩ; gĩgakĩremwo o na nĩgũgũcookia kanua!
25 Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
Hũũra mũnyũrũrania, nao arĩa mateciiragia merute kũgĩa na ũbaarĩrĩri; kaania mũkũũrani maũndũ, na nĩekuongerera ũmenyo.
26 He that destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewde and shamefull childe.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtunyaga ithe indo na akaingata nyina, nĩ mwana wa kũrehe thoni na gĩconoko.
27 My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
Mũrũ wakwa, ũngĩtiga gũthikĩrĩria mataaro-rĩ, nĩũkoora njĩra ũtigane na ciugo cia ũmenyo.
28 A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
Mũira wa kũhakwo anyũrũragia kĩhooto, na kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu kameragia o ũũru.
29 But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
Maherithia maigĩirwo anyũrũrania, nacio iboko ikaigĩrwo mĩgongo ya andũ arĩa akĩĩgu.
