Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
Omuntu omwavu atambulira mu butuukirivu, asinga akamwa ak’omusirusiru akaweebuula.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
Si kirungi okuba omujjumbize naye nga tolina kumanya, n’okwanguyiriza okukola ekintu kuleetera omuntu okukwata ekkubo ekyamu.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
Obusirusiru bw’omuntu bwe bwonoona obulamu bwe, kyokka omutima gwe ne gunenya Mukama.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
Obugagga buleeta emikwano mingi, naye emikwano gy’omwavu gimuddukako.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
Omujulizi ow’obulimba talirema kubonerezebwa, era oyo ayogera eby’obulimba taliba na buddukiro.
6 Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
Bangi banoonya okuganja mu maaso g’omufuzi, era buli muntu aba mukwano gw’oyo agaba ebirabo.
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.
Baganda b’omwavu bonna bamwewala, mikwano gye tebaasingewo nnyo okumwewala? Wadde abagoberera ng’abeegayirira, naye tabalaba.
8 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
Oyo afuna amagezi ayagala emmeeme ye, n’oyo asanyukira okutegeera, akulaakulana.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
Omujulizi ow’obulimba talirema kubonerezebwa, n’oyo ayogera eby’obulimba alizikirira.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
Omusirusiru tasaana kubeera mu bulamu bwa kwejalabya, kale kiwulikika kitya ng’omuddu afuga abalangira?
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
Omuntu omutegeevu alwawo okusunguwala, era kiba kya kitiibwa obutafa ku bye bamusobezza.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
Obusungu bwa kabaka buli ng’okuwuluguma kw’empologoma, naye ekisa kye kiri ng’omusulo ku ssubi.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
Omwana omusirusiru aleetera kitaawe okuzikirira, n’omukazi omuyombi ali ng’enkuba etonnya olutata.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
Ennyumba n’obugagga bisikirwa okuva ku bazadde, naye omukazi omutegeevu ava eri Mukama.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
Obugayaavu buleeta otulo tungi, n’omuntu atakola mirimu alirumwa enjala.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
Oyo akwata ebiragiro akuuma obulamu bwe, naye oyo eyeeyisa mu ngeri embi alifa.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
Oyo akwatirwa omwavu ekisa awola Mukama, era Mukama alimusasula olw’ekikolwa kye ekyo.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
Kangavvulanga omwana wo kubanga mu ekyo mulimu essuubi, oleme kumuwaayo mu kuzikirira.
19 A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
Omuntu omukambwe ennyo alisasula ebiriva mu bukambwe bwe, kubanga ne bw’omununula ogusooka era oteekwa okukiddiŋŋaana.
20 Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.
Ssangayo omwoyo ku magezi agakuweebwa ne ku kuyigirizibwa, oluvannyuma lwa byonna oliba n’amagezi.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
Enteekateeka z’omuntu ziba nnyingi mu mutima gwe; byo ebigendererwa bya Mukama bituukirira.
22 That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.
Ekintu omuntu kye yeegomba kwe kwagala okutaggwaawo, okuba omwavu kisinga okuba omulimba.
23 The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
Okutya Mukama kutuusa mu bulamu; olwo omuntu n’awummula nga mumativu nga tatuukiddwako kabi.
24 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.
Omugayaavu annyika omukono gwe mu kibya, n’atagukomyawo nate ku mumwa gwe.
25 Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
Kangavvula omunyoomi, abatamanyi bayigire ku ye, buulirira ategeera, ajja kweyongera okutegeera.
26 He that destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewde and shamefull childe.
Omwana abba ebya kitaawe n’agobaganya ne nnyina, aleeta obuswavu n’obuyinike.
27 My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
Mwana wange konoolekayo okuyigirizibwa, onoowaba okuva ku bigambo by’okumanya.
28 A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
Omujulizi omulimba atyoboola ensala ey’amazima, n’akamwa k’ababi, kavaabira ebitali bya butuukirivu.
29 But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
Ebibonerezo bitekebwawo kukangavvula banyoomi, n’embooko zaakolebwa lwa migongo gy’abasirusiru.
