Proverbs 31
1 [the] words of Lemuel [the] king an oracle which she instructed him mother his.
Ĩno nĩyo mĩario ya Mũthamaki Lemueli: nĩ ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩrĩa aarutirwo nĩ nyina:
2 What? O son my and what? O son of womb my and what? O son of vows my.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũrũ wakwa, ngũkwĩra atĩa, o wee mwana wa nda yakwa, ngũkwĩra atĩa o wee mwana wa mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa,
3 May not you give to women strength your and ways your to wiping out kings.
atĩrĩ, ndũkanaitange hinya waku na andũ-a-nja, kana ũhe ũhoti waku acio manangaga athamaki.
4 May not [it be] for kings - O Lemuel may not [it be] for kings to drink wine and for rulers (where? *Q(K)*) strong drink.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Lemueli, athamaki matiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũnyua ndibei, ti mũtugo wa athamaki kũnyua ndibei, anene matiagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩrirĩria njoohi,
5 Lest he should drink and he may forget [what] is decreed and he may change [the] cause of all [the] sons of affliction.
nĩgeetha matikanyue mariganĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa watho uugaga, nao magithie arĩa othe ahinyĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩao.
6 Give strong drink to [one who] is perishing and wine to [people] bitter of soul.
Heaga arĩa marathira njoohi, na ndibei kũrĩ arĩa marĩ na ruo rũnene rwa ngoro;
7 He will drink and he may forget poverty his and trouble his not he will remember again.
reke manyue mariganĩrwo nĩ ũthĩĩni wao, na matige gũcooka kũririkana kĩeha kĩao.
8 Open mouth your for [the] dumb to [the] cause of all [the] sons of passing away.
“Arĩrĩria arĩa matangĩhota kwĩyarĩrĩria, warĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩa arĩa othe anyamaarĩku.
9 Open mouth your judge righteousness and plead [the] cause of [the] poor and [the] needy.
Maarĩrĩrie, na ũmatuĩre ciira na kĩhooto; rũĩrĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa abatari.”
10 A wife of ability who? will he find and [is] far more than jewels price her.
Mũtumia ngatha-rĩ, angĩoneka kũ? Nĩgũkorwo thogora wake nĩũkĩrĩte mũno ũrĩa wa ruru iria ndune.
11 It trusts in her [the] heart of husband her and gain not he lacks.
Mũthuuri wake nĩamwĩhokete biũ, na ndarĩ kĩndũ kĩa bata angĩaga.
12 She feeds him good and not evil all [the] days of life her.
Mũtumia ũcio, matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake, no maũndũ mega ekaga mũthuuriwe, na ndangĩmwĩka ũũru.
13 She seeks wool and flax and she worked in [the] delight of hands her.
Ethaga guoya wa ngʼondu na ndigi cia ũguta, agacirutĩra wĩra na kĩyo, na moko make.
14 She is like [the] ships of a trader from a distance she brings food her.
Ahaana ta marikabu cia wonjoria, tondũ athũgũraga irio ciake kuuma kũraya.
15 And she rose - when still night and she gave food to household her and an allotted portion to female servants her.
Okĩraga rũciinĩ kũrĩ o na nduma; akahe andũ a nyũmba yake irio, na akagaĩra ndungata ciake cia airĩtu mawĩra mao.
16 She considers a field and she took it from [the] fruit of hands her (she plants *Q(K)*) a vineyard.
Ecũũranagia ũhoro wa mũgũnda mũna, akaũgũra; kuumana na ũthũkũmi wake, ahaandaga mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
17 She girds with strength loins her and she strengthened arms her.
Ehotoragĩra wĩra wake erutanĩirie; moko make marĩ hinya wa kwĩrutĩra wĩra.
18 She perceives that [is] good profit her not it is extinguished (in the night *Q(K)*) lamp her.
Nĩatigagĩrĩra atĩ wonjoria wake nĩũrĩ na uumithio, naguo tawa wake ũraaraga ũgĩakana.
19 Hands her she stretches out on the distaff and palms her they grasp [the] spindle.
Anyiitaga mũtĩ wa kuogotha ndigi na guoko, nakĩo gĩcũni kĩa ndigi agakĩnyiitĩrĩra na ciara ciake.
20 Palm her she spreads out to poor [person] and hands her she stretches out to the needy [person].
Nĩataanahagĩra andũ arĩa athĩĩni, nao arĩa abatari akamatambũrũkĩria moko make.
21 Not she is afraid for household her from snow for all household her [is] clothed scarlet.
Rĩrĩa tharunji yagũa-rĩ, we ndamakaga atĩ nĩĩgũthĩĩnia andũ a nyũmba yake; nĩgũkorwo othe nĩahumbe nguo cia rangi mũtune.
22 Coverings she makes for herself [is] fine linen and purple clothing her.
Nĩatumaga indo cia kwara ũrĩrĩ wake; nake ehumbaga nguo cia gatani ĩrĩa njega, na cia rangi wa ndathi.
23 [is] known In the gates husband her when sits he with [the] elders of [the] land.
Mũthuuri wake nĩaheagwo gĩtĩĩo kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, harĩa aikaraga marĩ na athuuri a bũrũri.
24 Linen garment[s] she makes and she sold and a belt she supplies to the merchants.
Mũtumia ũcio nĩatumaga nguo cia gatani agaciendia, na agatwaragĩra onjoria mĩcibi.
25 [is] strength And honor clothing her and she laughed to a day future.
Hinya na ũtĩĩku nĩcio nguo iria ehumbaga; nĩakenaga ategwĩtigĩra matukũ marĩa magooka.
26 Mouth her she opens with wisdom and instruction of loyalty [is] on tongue her.
Aaragia ciugo cia ũũgĩ, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwake rũrutanaga maũndũ ma ũtugi.
27 [she is] watching over [the] ways of Household her and [the] bread of laziness not she eats.
Nĩarũmbũyagia maũndũ ma nyũmba yake, na ndarĩĩaga irio atanogeire.
28 They rise up sons her and they called blessed her husband her and he praised her.
Ciana ciake ciarahũkaga, cikoiga arorathimwo; o nake mũthuuri wake nĩamũgaathagĩrĩria, akamwĩra atĩrĩ:
29 Many daughters they have done ability and you you have gone up above all of them.
“Andũ-a-nja aingĩ manatuĩka ngatha, no wee nĩũmakĩrĩte othe.”
30 [is] deception Grace and [is] vanity beauty a woman fearing Yahweh she she will be praised.
Ngoga nĩ cia kũheenania, naguo ũthaka nĩ wa tũhũ; no mũtumia ũrĩa mwĩtigĩri Jehova nĩ wa kũgaathĩrĩrio.
31 Give to her some of [the] fruit of hands her and let them praise her in the gates work her.
Mũrĩhei mũcaara wa wĩra ũrĩa arutĩte, naguo wĩra wake ũrekwo ũmũgaathĩrĩrie kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene.
