Proverbs 29
1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
Omuntu akakanyaza omutima gwe oluvannyuma lw’okunenyezebwa emirundi emingi, alizikirira ng’atamanyiridde awatali kuwona.
2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana, abantu basanyuka, naye abakakanyalira mu kukola ebikyamu bwe bafuga abantu babeera mu kusinda.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
Ayagala amagezi asanyusa kitaawe, naye munne w’abamalaaya ayiwaayiwa obugagga bwe.
4 The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
Kabaka afuga n’obwenkanya, abantu be baba mu butebenkevu, naye oyo alulunkanira enguzi, ensi agyonoona.
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
Omuntu awaanawaana munne, aba yeetega yekka ekitimba.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
Ebibi by’omwonoonyi bye bimutega, naye omutuukirivu abeera mu kuyimba na kusanyuka.
7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
Omutuukirivu afaayo ku nsonga z’abaavu, naye abakozi b’ebibi tebakola bwe batyo.
8 Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
Abakudaazi basasamaza ekibuga, naye abantu abalina amagezi baziyiza entalo.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
Omuntu ow’amagezi bw’awoza n’omusirusiru, omusirusiru ayongera kusunguwala, n’okujerega ne wataba mirembe.
10 The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
Abeegomba okuyiwa omusaayi bakyawa omuntu ow’amazima, era banoonya okusaanyaawo obulamu bwe.
11 A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
Omusirusiru alaga obusungu bwe bwonna, naye omuntu ow’amagezi abuziyiza n’abukkakkanya.
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
Omufuzi bw’awuliriza eby’obulimba, abakungu be bonna bafuuka babi.
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
Omwavu n’oyo amubonyaabonya balina ekibagatta: Mukama bombi ye yabawa amaaso.
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
Kabaka bw’asalira abaavu emisango n’obwesigwa, obufuzi bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
Akaggo akakangavvula, kaleeta amagezi, naye omwana alekeddwa awo, aswaza nnyina.
16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
Abakozi b’ebibi bwe beeyongera obungi, okumenya amateeka kweyongera, naye abatuukirivu baliraba okugwa kwabwe.
17 Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
Kangavvula omwana wo, alikuwa emirembe, alireetera emmeeme yo essanyu.
18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Awatali kwolesebwa abantu tebaba beegendereza, naye wa mukisa oyo akuuma amateeka ga Mukama.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
Omuweereza tayinza kubuulirirwa na bigambo byokka; ne bw’aba ategedde tafaayo.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
Olaba omuntu ayanguyiriza ebigambo bye? Omusirusiru alina essuubi okumusinga.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
Atiitiibya omuweereza we ekiyitiridde ng’akyali mwana muto, oluvannyuma omuweereza aleetera mukama we obuyinike.
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
Omuntu ow’obusungu aleeta ennyombo, n’omuntu asunguwala amangu ayonoona nnyo.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
Amalala g’omuntu galimuleetera okugwa, naye omuntu ow’omwoyo ogwetoowaza alifuna ekitiibwa.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
Buli assa ekimu n’omubbi akyawa obulamu bwe ye, era ne bw’alayizibwa tasaanira kubaako ky’ayogera.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
Okutya omuntu kuleeta ekyambika, naye buli eyeesiga Mukama anaabanga mirembe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
Bangi abanoonya okuganja mu maaso g’omufuzi, naye obwenkanya obwa nnama ddala buva eri Mukama.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
Atali mutuukirivu wa muzizo eri abatuukirivu; era omwesimbu wa muzizo eri abakozi b’ebibi.
