Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom she has built house her she has hewn pillars her seven.
Ũũgĩ nĩakĩte nyũmba yake; nĩaicũhĩtie itugĩ ciayo mũgwanja.
2 She has slaughtered slaughtering her she has mixed wine her also she has arranged table her.
Nĩahaarĩirie nyama, na akahaarĩria ndibei, o na akaara metha yake.
3 She has sent out female servants her she calls out on [the] elevations of [the] heights of [the] town.
Nĩatũmĩte ndungata ciake cia airĩtu nja, na nĩaretana arĩ harĩa hatũũgĩru mũno itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene, akoiga atĩrĩ:
4 Who? [is] naive let him turn aside here [one] lacking of heart she says to him.
“Andũ arĩa othe matarĩ na ũũgĩ nĩmoke gũkũ!” Ningĩ akeera andũ arĩa maagĩĩte ũtaũku atĩrĩ,
5 Come eat in food my and drink in [the] wine [which] I have mixed.
Ũkai mũrĩe irio ciakwa, na mũnyue ndibei ĩrĩa ndĩmũthondekeire.
6 Abandon foolish things and live and advance in [the] way of understanding.
Tiganai na mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtarĩ ya ũũgĩ, na nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo; cookai gũthiiaga na njĩra ya ũtaũku.
7 [one who] admonishes - A mocker [is] receiving for himself shame and [one who] reproves a wicked [person] defect his.
“Ũrĩa wothe ũtaaraga mũnyũrũrania eĩtagĩria irumi; na ũrĩa wothe ũkaanagia mũndũ mwaganu egĩĩragĩra njono.
8 May not you reprove a mocker lest he should hate you reprove a wise [person] and he will love you.
Ndũkanataare mũnyũrũrania, nĩguo ndagagũthũũre; kaania mũndũ mũũgĩ, nake nĩegũkwenda.
9 Give to a wise [person] so he may be wise yet make known to a righteous [person] so may he increase insight.
Taara mũndũ mũũgĩ na nĩegũkĩrĩrĩria kũũhĩga; mũndũ mũthingu mũrute, na nĩekuongerera ũũgĩ wake.
10 [is the] beginning of Wisdom [the] fear of Yahweh and [the] knowledge of [the] holy [one] [is] understanding.
“Kĩambĩrĩria kĩa ũũgĩ nĩ gwĩtigĩra Jehova, na kũmenya Ũrĩa Mũtheru nĩkuo gũtaũkĩrwo.
11 For by me they will increase days your so they may add to you years of life.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũndũ wakwa matukũ maku nĩmakaingĩha, na wongererwo mĩaka ya gũtũũra muoyo.
12 If you are wise you are wise for yourself and you mock to alone you you will bear [it].
Ũngĩkorwo ũrĩ mũũgĩ-rĩ, ũũgĩ waku nĩũgakũguna; na ũngĩkorwo ũrĩ mũnyũrũrania-rĩ, we nowe ũkaanyariirĩka.”
13 A woman of folly [is] boisterous naivete and not she knows whatever.
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa wĩtagwo Mũkĩĩgu nĩ wa inegene; we ndarĩ mũtugo, na ndarĩ ũmenyo.
14 And she sits to [the] doorway of house her on a seat [the] heights of [the] town.
Aikaraga thĩ mũrango-inĩ wa nyũmba yake, agaikarĩra gĩtĩ harĩa hatũũgĩru mũno itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene,
15 To call out to [those who] pass by of [the] road those [who] make straight paths their.
ageetaga arĩa marehĩtũkĩra, arĩa marethiĩra na njĩra ciao.
16 Who? [is] naive let him turn aside here and [one] lacking of heart and she says to him.
Ameeraga atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa othe matarĩ na ũũgĩ nĩmoke gũkũ!” Nao arĩa maagĩĩte ũtaũku akameera atĩrĩ:
17 Waters stolen they are sweet and bread of secret places it is delightful.
“Maaĩ ma kũiya marĩ mũrĩo; o na irio iria irĩĩagĩrwo hitho-inĩ irĩ cama!”
