Proverbs 11
1 Scales of deceit [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh and a weight perfect [is] pleasure his.
Bwana huchukia sana mizani za udanganyifu, bali vipimo sahihi ni furaha yake.
2 It comes pride and it came shame and [is] with modest [people] wisdom.
Kiburi kinapokuja, ndipo huja aibu, bali unyenyekevu huja na hekima.
3 [the] integrity of Upright [people] it guides them and [the] crookedness of treacherous [people] (it destroys them. *Q(K)*)
Uadilifu wa wenye haki huwaongoza, bali wasio waaminifu huharibiwa na hila yao.
4 Not it profits wealth in [the] day of fury and righteousness it delivers from death.
Utajiri haufaidi kitu katika siku ya ghadhabu, bali haki huokoa kutoka mautini.
5 [the] righteousness of A blameless [person] it makes straight way his and by wickedness his he falls a wicked [person].
Haki ya wasio na lawama, huwatengenezea njia iliyonyooka, bali waovu huangushwa kwa uovu wao wenyewe.
6 [the] righteousness of Upright [people] it delivers them and by [the] craving of treacherous [people] they are caught.
Haki ya wanyofu huwaokoa, bali wasio waaminifu hunaswa na tamaa mbaya.
7 At [the] death of a person wicked it is lost hope and [the] hope of strength it perishes.
Wakati mtu mwovu anapokufa, matumaini yake hutoweka; yote aliyoyatazamia kutokana na nguvu zake huwa si kitu.
8 A righteous [person] from distress [is] delivered and he came a wicked [person] in place his.
Mtu mwenye haki huokolewa kutoka taabu, naye mtu mwovu huingia humo badala yake.
9 By [the] mouth a godless [person] he ruins neighbor his and by knowledge righteous [people] they are delivered.
Kwa kinywa chake mtu asiyemwamini Mungu humwangamiza jirani yake, bali kwa maarifa mwenye haki huokolewa.
10 In [the] prosperity of righteous [people] it rejoices a town and when perish wicked [people] a shout of joy.
Wakati mwenye haki anapofanikiwa, mji hufurahi; mwovu atowekapo, kuna kelele za furaha.
11 By [the] blessing of upright [people] it is exalted a town and by [the] mouth of wicked [people] it is torn down.
Kutokana na baraka ya mtu mnyofu mji hukwezwa, bali kwa kinywa cha mwovu mji huharibiwa.
12 [one who] despises Neighbor his [is] lacking of heart and a person of understanding he keeps quiet.
Mtu asiye na akili humdharau jirani yake, bali mtu mwenye ufahamu huuzuia ulimi wake.
13 [one who] goes about A slanderer [is] revealing a secret and a [person] faithful of spirit [is] concealing a matter.
Masengenyo husaliti tumaini, bali mtu mwaminifu hutunza siri.
14 When there not [are] wise directions it falls a people and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
Pasipo ushauri wa hekima taifa huanguka, bali washauri wengi hufanya ushindi uwe wa hakika.
15 Harm he is harmed for he stood surety for a stranger and [one who] hates those striking hands [is] secure.
Yeye amdhaminiye mgeni hakika atateseka, bali yeyote akataaye kuunga mkono dhamana ni salama.
16 A woman of grace she lays hold of honor and ruthless [people] they take hold of wealth.
Mwanamke mwenye moyo wa huruma hupata heshima, bali wanaume wakorofi hupata mali tu.
17 [is] dealing bountifully with Self his a person of loyalty and [is] troubling body his a cruel [person].
Mwenye huruma hujinufaisha mwenyewe, bali mkatili hujiletea taabu mwenyewe.
18 A wicked [person] [is] making wage[s] of falsehood and [one who] sows righteousness wage[s] of truth.
Mtu mwovu hupata ujira wa udanganyifu, bali yeye apandaye haki huvuna tuzo ya uhakika.
19 True righteousness [is] to life and [one who] pursues evil [is] to own death his.
Mtu mwenye haki kweli kweli hupata uzima, bali yeye afuatiliaye ubaya huendea kifo chake.
20 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh perverse [people] of heart and [are] pleasure his [people] blameless of way.
Bwana huwachukia sana watu wenye moyo wa upotovu, bali hupendezwa na wale ambao njia zao hazina lawama.
21 Hand to hand not he will go unpunished an evil [person] and [the] offspring of righteous [people] he will be delivered.
Uwe na hakika na hili: Waovu hawataepuka kuadhibiwa, bali wenye haki watakuwa huru.
22 A ring of gold in [the] nose of a pig a woman beautiful and [who] turns aside from discernment.
Kama pete ya dhahabu katika pua ya nguruwe ndivyo alivyo mwanamke mzuri ambaye hana busara.
23 [the] desire of Righteous [people] only [is] good [the] hope of wicked [people] [is] fury.
Shauku ya mwenye haki huishia tu kwenye mema, bali tumaini la mwovu huishia tu kwenye ghadhabu.
24 There [is one who] scatters and [who is] increased still and [one who] withholds from uprightness only to poverty.
Kuna mtu atoaye kwa ukarimu, hata hivyo hupata zaidi, mwingine huzuia, lakini huwa maskini.
25 A person of blessing he will be made fat and [one who] gives water also he he will be given water.
Mtu mkarimu atastawi; yeye awaburudishaye wengine ataburudishwa mwenyewe.
26 [one who] withholds Grain they curse him a people and a blessing [belongs] to [the] head of [one who] sells grain.
Watu humlaani mtu awanyimae watu nafaka, bali baraka itamkalia kichwani kama taji yeye aliye radhi kuiuza.
27 [one who] seeks diligently Good he seeks favor and [one who] seeks carefully evil it will come to him.
Yeye atafutaye mema hupata ukarimu, bali ubaya huja kwake yeye autafutaye.
28 [one who] trusts In wealth his he he will fall and like leaf righteous [people] they will bud.
Yeyote ategemeaye utajiri wake ataanguka, bali mwenye haki atastawi kama jani bichi.
29 [one who] troubles Household his he will inherit wind and [will be] a servant a fool of [the] wise of heart.
Yeye aletaye taabu kwa jamaa yake atarithi tu upepo, naye mpumbavu atakuwa mtumishi wa wenye hekima.
30 [the] fruit of [the] righteous [is] a tree of Life and [one who] takes people [is] wise.
Tunda la mwenye haki ni mti wa uzima, naye mwenye hekima huvuta roho za watu.
31 There! a righteous [person] on the earth he is rewarded indeed? for a wicked [person] and a sinner.
Kama wenye haki watapokea ujira wao duniani, si zaidi sana yule asiyemcha Mungu na mwenye dhambi?
