Proverbs 29
1 He who, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Omuntu akakanyaza omutima gwe oluvannyuma lw’okunenyezebwa emirundi emingi, alizikirira ng’atamanyiridde awatali kuwona.
2 When the righteous are powerful, the people rejoice; But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana, abantu basanyuka, naye abakakanyalira mu kukola ebikyamu bwe bafuga abantu babeera mu kusinda.
3 He who loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he who is a companion of harlots destroyeth his substance.
Ayagala amagezi asanyusa kitaawe, naye munne w’abamalaaya ayiwaayiwa obugagga bwe.
4 A king by equity establisheth a land; But he who receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
Kabaka afuga n’obwenkanya, abantu be baba mu butebenkevu, naye oyo alulunkanira enguzi, ensi agyonoona.
5 A man who flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his feet.
Omuntu awaanawaana munne, aba yeetega yekka ekitimba.
6 In the transgression of a wicked man there is a snare; But the righteous shall sing and rejoice.
Ebibi by’omwonoonyi bye bimutega, naye omutuukirivu abeera mu kuyimba na kusanyuka.
7 A righteous man careth for the cause of the poor; A wicked man discerneth not knowledge.
Omutuukirivu afaayo ku nsonga z’abaavu, naye abakozi b’ebibi tebakola bwe batyo.
8 Scoffers kindle a city into a flame; But wise men pacify wrath.
Abakudaazi basasamaza ekibuga, naye abantu abalina amagezi baziyiza entalo.
9 If a wise man contend in a cause with a fool, Whether he rage or laugh, there will be no rest.
Omuntu ow’amagezi bw’awoza n’omusirusiru, omusirusiru ayongera kusunguwala, n’okujerega ne wataba mirembe.
10 The bloodthirsty man hateth the upright; But the righteous seek to preserve his life.
Abeegomba okuyiwa omusaayi bakyawa omuntu ow’amazima, era banoonya okusaanyaawo obulamu bwe.
11 A fool letteth all his anger come out; But a wise man keepeth it back.
Omusirusiru alaga obusungu bwe bwonna, naye omuntu ow’amagezi abuziyiza n’abukkakkanya.
12 If a ruler listen to words of falsehood, All his servants become 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 judgeth the poor with uprightness, 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 bringeth shame to his mother.
Akaggo akakangavvula, kaleeta amagezi, naye omwana alekeddwa awo, aswaza nnyina.
16 When the wicked are powerful, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall see their fall.
Abakozi b’ebibi bwe beeyongera obungi, okumenya amateeka kweyongera, naye abatuukirivu baliraba okugwa kwabwe.
17 Chastise thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight to thy soul.
Kangavvula omwana wo, alikuwa emirembe, alireetera emmeeme yo essanyu.
18 Where there is no vision, the people become unruly; 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, he will not obey.
Omuweereza tayinza kubuulirirwa na bigambo byokka; ne bw’aba ategedde tafaayo.
20 Seest thou a man hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
Olaba omuntu ayanguyiriza ebigambo bye? Omusirusiru alina essuubi okumusinga.
21 He that bringeth up his servant delicately from childhood Shall have him become a son 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 passionate man aboundeth in transgression.
Omuntu ow’obusungu aleeta ennyombo, n’omuntu asunguwala amangu ayonoona nnyo.
23 A man's pride will bring him low; But he that is of a humble spirit shall obtain honor.
Amalala g’omuntu galimuleetera okugwa, naye omuntu ow’omwoyo ogwetoowaza alifuna ekitiibwa.
24 He who shareth with a thief hateth himself: He heareth the curse, but maketh no discovery.
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 safe.
Okutya omuntu kuleeta ekyambika, naye buli eyeesiga Mukama anaabanga mirembe.
26 Many are they who seek the ruler's favor; But every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
Bangi abanoonya okuganja mu maaso g’omufuzi, naye obwenkanya obwa nnama ddala buva eri Mukama.
27 As the unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, So the upright in his way is an abomination to the wicked.
Atali mutuukirivu wa muzizo eri abatuukirivu; era omwesimbu wa muzizo eri abakozi b’ebibi.
