Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Teweenyumirizanga mu bya nkya, kubanga olunaku bye lunaaleeta tobimanyi.

9 As oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart, so doeth the sweetenes of a mans friend by hearty counsell.
Ebyakaloosa bisanyusa omutima, n’obuwoomerevu bw’omukwano gw’omuntu bwe butyo bwe buvaamu okubuulirira okw’amazima.
10 Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.
Mukwano gwo ne mukwano gwa kitaawo tobaabuuliranga, olemenga okutawaana okuswala ewa muganda wo ng’ogudde mu mitawaana. Muliraanwa wo akira muganda wo akuli ewala.
