Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer, turneth away wrath, but a cutting word raiseth anger.
Icookio rĩa ũhooreri nĩrĩeheragia mangʼũrĩ, no kiugo kĩa ũũru kĩarahũraga marakara.
2 The tongue of the wise, adorneth knowledge, —but, the mouth of dullards, belcheth out folly.
Rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ rũgaathagĩrĩria ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu gathothokaga ũrimũ.
3 In every place, are the eyes of Yahweh, observing the evil and the good.
Maitho ma Jehova marĩ kũndũ guothe, magacũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa aaganu o na arĩa eega.
4 Gentleness of the tongue, is a tree of life, but, crookedness therein, a grievous wound in the spirit.
Rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũrehaga kĩhonia nĩ ta mũtĩ wa muoyo, no rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni rũthuthaga ngoro.
5 A foolish [son], spurneth the correction of his father, but, he that heedeth a reproof, sheweth prudence.
Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aregaga ũtaaro wa ithe, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo onanagia ũbaarĩrĩri.
6 The household of the righteous man, is a great treasure, but, in the increase of the lawless, is disturbance.
Nyũmba ya mũndũ mũthingu ĩkoragwo na kĩgĩĩna kĩnene, no uumithio wa andũ aaganu ũmarehagĩra thĩĩna.
7 The lips of the wise, scatter abroad knowledge, but, the heart of dullards, is not right.
Mĩromo ya andũ arĩa oogĩ ĩtambagia o ũũgĩ, no tiguo ngoro cia andũ arĩa akĩĩgu ciĩkaga.
8 The sacrifice of lawless men, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, the prayer of the upright, is his delight.
Igongona rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no mahooya ma mũndũ ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru nĩamakenagĩrĩra.
9 An abomination to Yahweh, is the way of the lawless, but, the pursuer of righteousness, he loveth.
Njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no nĩendete andũ arĩa mathingataga ũthingu.
10 There is, grievous correction, for him that forsaketh the right path, He that hateth rebuke, shall die.
Iherithia rĩtarĩ rĩa tha rĩetereire mũndũ ũrĩa ũtigĩte njĩra, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũthũire kũrũngwo nĩagaakua.
11 Hades and destruction, are before Yahweh, how much more then, the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
Gĩkuũ na Mwanangĩko ciikaraga ciĩyanĩkĩte mbere ya Jehova, ĩ nacio ngoro cia andũ-rĩ, ikĩĩanĩkĩte atĩa! (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer, loveth not, one who reproveth him, unto the wise, doth he not go.
Mũnyũrũrania nĩathũire kũrũngwo; ndangĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũgĩ.
13 A joyful heart, maketh a pleasing countenance, —but, in sorrow of heart, is a stricken spirit.
Ngoro ngenu ĩtũmaga gĩthiithi gĩthere, no ruo rwa ngoro rũthuthaga roho.
14 The heart of the intelligent, seeketh knowledge, but, the mouth of dullards, feedeth on folly.
Ngoro ĩrĩ na gũkũũrana maũndũ nĩĩmaathaga ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu kehũũnagia na ũrimũ.
15 All the days of the afflicted, are sorrowful, but, a cheerful heart, is a continual banquet.
Matukũ mothe ma andũ arĩa ahatĩrĩrie nĩ ma thĩĩna, no ngoro ĩrĩa njanjamũku ĩkoragwo na ndĩa hĩndĩ ciothe.
16 Better is a little, with the reverence of Yahweh, than great treasure, and disquietude therewith.
Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini hamwe na gwĩtigĩra Jehova, gũkĩra ũtonga mũnene ũrĩ na kĩnyariirĩko.
17 Better is an allowance of herbs, and love, there, than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.
Nĩ kaba kũrĩa rwĩga rwa nyeni harĩa harĩ wendo, gũkĩra kũrĩa njaũ noru harĩa harĩ na rũthũũro.
18 A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.
Mũndũ ũhiũhaga kũrakara aarahũraga ngarari, no mũndũ mũkirĩrĩria nĩkũhooreria ahooragĩria haaro.
19 The way of the sluggard, is like a thorn hedge, but, the path of the upright, is a raised road.
Njĩra ya kĩgũũta nĩkũhingwo ĩhingĩtwo na mĩigua, no njĩra ya mũndũ mũrũngĩrĩru nĩ njĩra njariĩ.
20 A wise son, maketh a glad father, —but, a dullard, despiseth his own mother.
Mwana mũũgĩ atũmaga ithe akene, no mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩ nyina anyararaga.
21 Folly, is joy to him that lacketh sense, —but, a man of understanding, taketh a straight course.
Ũrimũ ũkenagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa mũkuũku nĩarũngagĩrĩria mĩthiĩre yake.
22 Plans, are frustrated, for lack of consultation, but, by the multitude of counsellors, shall counsel, be established.
Mĩbango nĩĩthaataga nĩ kwaga kĩrĩra, no kũrĩ na ataarani aingĩ mĩbango nĩĩgaacagĩra.
23 A man hath joy, in the answer of his own mouth, and, a word in its season, —how good!
Mũndũ nĩaiguaga gĩkeno agĩcookia ũhoro ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, nakĩo kiugo kĩarĩtio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire, kaĩ nĩ kĩega-ĩ!
Harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ njĩra ya muoyo ĩrorete na igũrũ, ĩmũgirie gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ. (Sheol h7585)
25 The house of proud men, will Yahweh tear down, but he will maintain the boundary of the widow.
Jehova nĩamomoraga nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi, no nĩamenyagĩrĩra mĩhaka ya mũtumia wa ndigwa.
26 An abomination to Yahweh, are the plottings of the wicked, but, with the pure, are sayings of sweetness.
Meciiria ma mũndũ mwaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no meciiria ma andũ arĩa atheru nĩmamũkenagia.
27 He, troubleth his own house, who graspeth with greed, but, he that hateth gifts, shall live.
Mũndũ mũkoroku arehagĩra nyũmba yake thĩĩna, no ũrĩa ũthũire mahaki nĩagatũũra muoyo.
28 The heart of the righteous, studieth to answer, but, the mouth of the lawless, belcheth out mischiefs.
Ngoro ya mũndũ mũthingu nĩĩthimaga macookio mayo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu gathothokaga ũũru.
29 Far off is Yahweh, from the lawless, but, the prayer of the righteous, will he hear.
Jehova aikaraga haraaya na andũ arĩa aaganu, no nĩaiguaga mahooya ma andũ arĩa athingu.
30 The sparkling of bright eyes, rejoiceth the heart, Good news, giveth marrow to the bones.
Gũtheria gĩthiithi nĩkũrehagĩra ngoro gĩkeno, naguo ũhoro ũrĩa mwega nĩwĩkĩraga mahĩndĩ hinya.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof which giveth life, in the midst of the wise, shall remain.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthikagĩrĩria ikaanania rĩrĩa rĩrehaga muoyo nĩagatũũrania na andũ arĩa oogĩ.
32 He that declineth correction, despiseth his own soul, but, he that heareth reproof, gaineth sense.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũregaga kũigua agĩkaanio nĩ kwĩnyarara enyararaga we mwene, no mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo agĩĩaga na ũtaũku.
33 The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.
Gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩkuo kũheaga mũndũ ũũgĩ, nakuo kwĩnyiihia gũtongoragia gĩtĩĩo.
