Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
Abakozi b’ebibi badduka nga tewali abagoba, naye abatuukirivu babeera n’obuvumu ng’empologoma.
2 For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
Eggwanga bwe lijeema, liba n’abafuzi bangi, naye olw’omuntu alina okutegeera n’okumanya obutebenkevu budda nate mu nsi.
3 A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
Omufuzi anyigiriza abaavu, afaanana nga enkuba etonnya ezikiriza n’eterekaawo birime.
4 They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
Abo abava ku mateeka ga Mukama batendereza aboonoonyi, naye abo abagakuuma babawakanya.
5 Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
Abantu abakozi b’ebibi tebategeera bwenkanya, naye abo abanoonya Mukama babutegeerera ddala bulungi.
6 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
Omuntu omwavu atambulira mu butuukirivu, asinga omugagga ow’amakubo amakyamu.
7 He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
Oyo akuuma amateeka ga Mukama mwana eyeegendereza, naye mukwano gw’ab’omululu akwasa kitaawe ensonyi.
8 He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
Ayongera ku bugagga bwe mu bukumpanya, abukuŋŋaanyiza omulala anaayinza okuba ow’ekisa eri abaavu.
9 He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
Atassaayo mwoyo kuwulira mateeka ga Mukama, n’okusaba kwe tekukkirizibwa.
10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
Buli akyamya abatuukirivu mu kkubo ebbi, aligwa mu katego ke ye, naye abatuukirivu balisikira ebirungi.
11 The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
Omugagga alowooza nti mugezi, naye omwavu alina okutegeera, amunyooma.
12 When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.
Abatuukirivu bwe bawangula wabaawo okujaguza okw’amaanyi, naye abakakanyalira mu kukola ebikyamu bwe bafuna obuyinza abantu beekweka.
13 He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.
Oyo akweka ebibi bye, talifuna mukisa kukulaakulana, naye buli abyatula n’abireka, alisaasirwa.
14 Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
Alina omukisa omuntu atya Mukama ebbanga lyonna, naye oyo akakanyaza omutima gwe abonaabona.
15 As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
Ng’empologoma ewuluguma oba eddubu eritiisatiisa, bw’abeera omufuzi omubi atulugunya abateesobola.
16 A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
Omufuzi nantagambwako tafuga na bwenkanya, naye oyo akyawa amagoba agafuniddwa mu bukyamu alibeera n’essanyu ery’obulamu obuwangaazi.
17 A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
Omuntu alumirizibwa olw’okutta munne, alibeera mu kutegana okutuusa okufa, tewabanga n’omu amuyamba.
18 He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
Omuntu atambulira mu bugolokofu alinunulibwa talibeerako kabi, naye oyo ow’amakubo amabi aligwa mbagirawo.
19 He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
Omuntu alima ennimiro ye aliba n’emmere nnyingi, naye oyo ali mu birowoozo ebitaliimu alifa bwavu.
20 A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.
Omusajja omwesigwa aliweebwa emikisa mingi, naye oyo ayanguyiriza okugaggawala talirema kubonerezebwa.
21 To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.
Okuttira abantu ku liiso ng’osala emisango si kirungi, naye ate olw’okunoonya akookulya omuntu ayinza okuzza omusango.
22 A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.
Omusajja omukodo yeegomba okugaggawala, naye nga tamanyi nti obwavu bumulindiridde.
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
Oyo anenya omuntu, oluvannyuma aliganja, okusinga oyo awaaniriza n’olulimi.
24 Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
Buli anyaga kitaawe, oba nnyina, n’agamba nti, “Si nsonga,” afaanana n’oyo azikiriza.
25 He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
Omuntu ow’omululu aleeta oluyombo, naye oyo eyeesiga Mukama aligaggawazibwa.
26 Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
Eyeesiga omutima gwe, musirusiru, naye oyo atambulira mu magezi alifuna emirembe.
27 He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.
Agabira abaavu talibaako ne kye yeetaaga, naye abakodowalira anaabanga n’ebikolimo bingi.
28 When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
Abakozi b’ebibi bwe babeera mu buyinza, abantu beekweka, naye abakozi b’ebibi bwe bazikirira, abatuukirivu bakulaakulana.
