Proverbs 14
1 A wijs womman bildith hir hous; and an unwijs womman schal distrie with hondis an hous bildid.
Mwanamke mwenye hekima huijenga nyumba yake, bali mpumbavu huibomoa nyumba yake kwa mikono yake mwenyewe.
2 A man goynge in riytful weie, and dredinge God, is dispisid of hym, that goith in a weie of yuel fame.
Yeye ambaye njia zake ni nyofu humcha Bwana, bali yeye ambaye njia zake zimepotoka humdharau Mungu.
3 The yerde of pride is in the mouth of a fool; the lippis of wijs men kepen hem.
Mazungumzo ya mpumbavu huleta fimbo mgongoni mwake, bali mwenye hekima hulindwa na maneno ya midomo yake.
4 Where oxis ben not, the cratche is void; but where ful many cornes apperen, there the strengthe of oxe is opyn.
Pale ambapo hakuna mafahali, hori ni tupu, bali kutokana na nguvu za fahali huja mavuno mengi.
5 A feithful witnesse schal not lie; a gileful witnesse bringith forth a leesing.
Shahidi mwaminifu hadanganyi, bali shahidi wa uongo humimina uongo.
6 A scornere sekith wisdom, and he fyndith not; the teching of prudent men is esy.
Mwenye mzaha huitafuta hekima na haipati, bali maarifa huja kwa urahisi kwa anayepambanua.
7 Go thou ayens a man a fool; and he schal not knowe the lippis of prudence.
Kaa mbali na mtu mpumbavu, kwa maana hutapata maarifa katika midomo yake.
8 The wisdom of a fel man is to vndirstonde his weie; and the vnwarnesse of foolis errith.
Hekima ya mwenye busara ni kufikiria njia zake, bali upumbavu wa wapumbavu ni udanganyifu.
9 A fool scorneth synne; grace schal dwelle among iust men.
Wapumbavu hudhihaki kujirekebisha kutoka dhambi, bali wema hupatikana miongoni mwa wanyofu.
10 The herte that knowith the bittirnesse of his soule; a straunger schal not be meddlid in the ioie therof.
Kila moyo hujua uchungu wake wenyewe, wala hakuna yeyote awezaye kushiriki furaha yake.
11 The hous of wickid men schal be don awei; the tabernaclis of iust men schulen buriowne.
Nyumba ya mwovu itaangamizwa, bali hema la mnyofu litastawi.

Watu wabaya watasujudu mbele ya watu wema, nao waovu kwenye malango ya wenye haki.
20 A pore man schal be hateful, yhe, to his neiybore; but many men ben frendis of riche men.
Maskini huepukwa hata na majirani zao, bali matajiri wana marafiki wengi.

Yeye anayemdharau jirani yake hutenda dhambi, bali amebarikiwa yeye aliye na huruma kwa mhitaji.
22 thei erren that worchen yuel. Merci and treuthe maken redi goodis;
Je, wale wanaopanga ubaya hawapotoki? Bali wale wanaopanga kilicho chema hupata upendo na uaminifu.
23 abundaunce `schal be in ech good werk. Sotheli where ful many wordis ben, there nedynesse is ofte.
Kazi zote zinazofanywa kwa bidii huleta faida, bali mazungumzo matupu huelekea umaskini tu.
24 The coroun of wise men is the richessis of hem; the fooli of foolis is vnwarnesse.
