Proverbs 29
1 A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.
Omuntu akakanyaza omutima gwe oluvannyuma lw’okunenyezebwa emirundi emingi, alizikirira ng’atamanyiridde awatali kuwona.
2 In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.
Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana, abantu basanyuka, naye abakakanyalira mu kukola ebikyamu bwe bafuga abantu babeera mu kusinda.
3 A man loving wisdom makes his father glad, And a friend of harlots destroys wealth.
Ayagala amagezi asanyusa kitaawe, naye munne w’abamalaaya ayiwaayiwa obugagga bwe.
4 A king establishes a land by judgment, And one receiving gifts throws it down.
Kabaka afuga n’obwenkanya, abantu be baba mu butebenkevu, naye oyo alulunkanira enguzi, ensi agyonoona.
5 A man taking a portion above his neighbor, Spreads a net for his own steps.
Omuntu awaanawaana munne, aba yeetega yekka ekitimba.
6 A snare [is] in the transgression of the evil, And the righteous sing and rejoice.
Ebibi by’omwonoonyi bye bimutega, naye omutuukirivu abeera mu kuyimba na kusanyuka.
7 The righteous knows the plea of the poor, The wicked does not understand knowledge.
Omutuukirivu afaayo ku nsonga z’abaavu, naye abakozi b’ebibi tebakola bwe batyo.
8 Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.
Abakudaazi basasamaza ekibuga, naye abantu abalina amagezi baziyiza entalo.
9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he has been angry, And he has laughed, and there is no rest.
Omuntu ow’amagezi bw’awoza n’omusirusiru, omusirusiru ayongera kusunguwala, n’okujerega ne wataba mirembe.
10 Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.
Abeegomba okuyiwa omusaayi bakyawa omuntu ow’amazima, era banoonya okusaanyaawo obulamu bwe.
11 A fool brings out all his mind, And the wise restrains it until afterward.
Omusirusiru alaga obusungu bwe bwonna, naye omuntu ow’amagezi abuziyiza n’abukkakkanya.
12 A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers [are] wicked.
Omufuzi bw’awuliriza eby’obulimba, abakungu be bonna bafuuka babi.
13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together, YHWH is enlightening the eyes of them both.
Omwavu n’oyo amubonyaabonya balina ekibagatta: Mukama bombi ye yabawa amaaso.
14 A king that is judging the poor with truth, His throne is established forever.
Kabaka bw’asalira abaavu emisango n’obwesigwa, obufuzi bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.
15 A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.
Akaggo akakangavvula, kaleeta amagezi, naye omwana alekeddwa awo, aswaza nnyina.
16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplies, And the righteous look on their fall.
Abakozi b’ebibi bwe beeyongera obungi, okumenya amateeka kweyongera, naye abatuukirivu baliraba okugwa kwabwe.
17 Discipline your son, and he gives you comfort, Indeed, he gives delights to your soul.
Kangavvula omwana wo, alikuwa emirembe, alireetera emmeeme yo essanyu.
18 A people is made naked without a vision, And whoever is keeping the Law, O his blessedness!
Awatali kwolesebwa abantu tebaba beegendereza, naye wa mukisa oyo akuuma amateeka ga Mukama.
19 By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.
Omuweereza tayinza kubuulirirwa na bigambo byokka; ne bw’aba ategedde tafaayo.
20 You have seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.
Olaba omuntu ayanguyiriza ebigambo bye? Omusirusiru alina essuubi okumusinga.
21 Whoever is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, [At] his latter end he is also continuator.
Atiitiibya omuweereza we ekiyitiridde ng’akyali mwana muto, oluvannyuma omuweereza aleetera mukama we obuyinike.
22 An angry man stirs up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.
Omuntu ow’obusungu aleeta ennyombo, n’omuntu asunguwala amangu ayonoona nnyo.
23 The pride of man humbles him, And humility of spirit upholds honor.
Amalala g’omuntu galimuleetera okugwa, naye omuntu ow’omwoyo ogwetoowaza alifuna ekitiibwa.
24 Whoever is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, He hears execration, and does not tell.
Buli assa ekimu n’omubbi akyawa obulamu bwe ye, era ne bw’alayizibwa tasaanira kubaako ky’ayogera.
25 Fear of man causes a snare, And the confident in YHWH is set on high.
Okutya omuntu kuleeta ekyambika, naye buli eyeesiga Mukama anaabanga mirembe.
26 Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And the judgment of each [is] from YHWH.
Bangi abanoonya okuganja mu maaso g’omufuzi, naye obwenkanya obwa nnama ddala buva eri Mukama.
27 The perverse man [is] an abomination to the righteous, And the upright in the way [is] an abomination to the wicked!
Atali mutuukirivu wa muzizo eri abatuukirivu; era omwesimbu wa muzizo eri abakozi b’ebibi.
