Proverbs 14
1 A wijs womman bildith hir hous; and an unwijs womman schal distrie with hondis an hous bildid.
Mwanamke mwenye busara huijenga nyumba yake, bali mwanamke mpumbavu huibomoa 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 aendaye kwa uaminifu humcha Yehova, bali mkaidi humdharau katika njia zake.
3 The yerde of pride is in the mouth of a fool; the lippis of wijs men kepen hem.
Katika kinywa cha mpumbavu hutoka chipukizi la kiburi chake, bali midomo ya wenye busara itawalinda.
4 Where oxis ben not, the cratche is void; but where ful many cornes apperen, there the strengthe of oxe is opyn.
Pale pasipo na mifugo hori la kulishia ni safi, bali mazao mengi huweza kupatikana kwa nguvu za maksai.
5 A feithful witnesse schal not lie; a gileful witnesse bringith forth a leesing.
Shahidi mwaminifu hasemi uongo, bali shahidi wa uongo hupumua uongo.
6 A scornere sekith wisdom, and he fyndith not; the teching of prudent men is esy.
Mwenye dharau hutafuta hekima na hakuna hata, bali maarifa huja kwa urahisi kwa mwenye ufahamu.
7 Go thou ayens a man a fool; and he schal not knowe the lippis of prudence.
Nenda mbali kutoka kwa mtu mpumbavu, maana hutapata maarifa kwenye midomo yake.
8 The wisdom of a fel man is to vndirstonde his weie; and the vnwarnesse of foolis errith.
Hekima ya mtu mwenye busara ni kuifahamu njia yake mwenyewe, bali upuuzi wa wapumbavu ni udanganyifu.
9 A fool scorneth synne; grace schal dwelle among iust men.
Wapumbavu hudharau wakati sadaka ya hatia inapotolewa, bali miongoni mwao waaminifu hushiriki fadhila.
10 The herte that knowith the bittirnesse of his soule; a straunger schal not be meddlid in the ioie therof.
Moyo unayajua machungu yake mwenyewe na hakuna mgeni anayeshiriki furaha yake.
11 The hous of wickid men schal be don awei; the tabernaclis of iust men schulen buriowne.
Nyumba ya waovu itaangamizwa, bali hema ya watu waaminifu itasitawi.
12 Sotheli a weie is, that semeth iust to a man; but the laste thingis therof leden forth to deth.
Kuna njia ambayo huonekana sawa kwa mtu, lakini mwisho wake huelekea mauti tu.
13 Leiyyng schal be medlid with sorewe; and morenyng ocupieth the laste thingis of ioye.
Moyo unaweza kucheka lakini bado ukawa katika maumivu na furaha inaweza kukoma ikawa huzuni.
14 A fool schal be fillid with hise weies; and a good man schal be aboue hym.
Yule asiyemwaminifu atapata anachostahili kwa njia zake, bali mtu mwema atapata kilicho chake.
15 An innocent man bileueth to eche word; a felle man biholdith hise goyngis.
Yeye ambaye hakufundishwa huamini kila kitu, bali mtu mwenye hekima huzifikiria hatua zake.
16 A wijs man dredith, and bowith awei fro yuel; a fool skippith ouer, and tristith.
Mtu mwenye hekima huogopa na kutoka kwenye ubaya, bali mpumbavu huliacha onyo kwa ujasiri.
17 A man vnpacient schal worche foli; and a gileful man is odiouse.
Yeye ambaye anakuwa na hasira kwa haraka hufanya mambo ya kipumbavu, na mtu anayefanya hila mbaya huchukiwa.
18 Litle men of wit schulen holde foli; and felle men schulen abide kunnyng.
Wajinga hurithi upumbavu, lakini watu wenye hekima wamezingirwa kwa maarifa.
19 Yuel men schulen ligge bifor goode men; and vnpitouse men bifor the yatis of iust men.
Hao ambao ni waovu watainama mbele yao walio wema na wale wenye uovu watasujudu kwenye malango ya wenye haki.
20 A pore man schal be hateful, yhe, to his neiybore; but many men ben frendis of riche men.
Mtu masikini huchukiwa hata na marafiki zake, bali watu matajiri wanamarafiki wengi.
21 He that dispisith his neiybore, doith synne; but he that doith merci to a pore man, schal be blessid. He that bileueth in the Lord, loueth merci;
Yeye ambaye huonyesha dharau kwa jirani yake anafanya dhambi, bali yule ambaye huonyesha fadhila kwa masikini anafuraha.
22 thei erren that worchen yuel. Merci and treuthe maken redi goodis;
Je wale wanaofanya njama mbaya hawapotei? Bali wale wenye mpango wa kutenda mema watapokea agano la uaminifu na udhamini
23 abundaunce `schal be in ech good werk. Sotheli where ful many wordis ben, there nedynesse is ofte.
Katika kazi zote ngumu huja faida, bali palipo na maongezi tu, huelekea kwenye umasikini.
24 The coroun of wise men is the richessis of hem; the fooli of foolis is vnwarnesse.
Taji ya watu wenye busara ni utajiri wao, bali upuuzi wa wapumbavu huwaletea upuu zaidi.
25 A feithful witnesse delyuereth soulis; and a fals man bringith forth leesyngis.
Shahidi mkweli huokoa maisha, bali shahidi wa uongo hupumua uongo.
26 In the drede of the Lord is triste of strengthe; and hope schal be to the sones of it.
Mtu anapokuwa na hofu ya Yehova, pia anakuwa na matumaini zaidi ndani yake; vitu hivi vitakuwa kama sehemu imara ya ulinzi kwa watoto wa mtu huyu.
27 The drede of the Lord is a welle of lijf; that it bowe awei fro the fallyng of deth.
Kumcha Yehova ni chemchemi ya uzima, ili kwamba mtu aweze kujiepusha kutoka katika mitego ya mauti.
28 The dignite of the king is in the multitude of puple; and the schenschipe of a prince is in the fewnesse of puple.
Utukufu wa mfalme upo katika idadi kubwa ya watu wake, bali pasipo watu mfalme huangamia.
29 He that is pacient, is gouerned bi myche wisdom; but he that is vnpacient, enhaunsith his foli.
Mtu mvumilivu anaufahamu mkubwa, bali mtu mwepesi wa kuhamaki hukuza upuuzi.
30 Helthe of herte is the lijf of fleischis; enuye is rot of boonys.
Moyo wenye raha ni uzima wa mwili, bali husuda huozesha mifupa.
31 He that falsli chalengith a nedi man, dispisith his maker; but he that hath merci on a pore man, onourith that makere.
Anayemkandamiza masikini humlaani Muumba wake, bali anayeonyesha fadhila kwa wahitaji humtukuza yeye.
32 A wickid man is put out for his malice; but a iust man hopith in his deth.
Mtu mwovu huangushwa chini kwa matendo yake mabaya, bali mtu mwenye haki anakimbilio hata katika kifo.
33 Wisdom restith in the herte of a wijs man; and he schal teche alle vnlerned men.
Hekima hukaa katika moyo wa ufahamu, bali hata miongoni mwa wapumbavu hujiachilia mwenyewe kwa kujulikana
34 Riytfulnesse reisith a folc; synne makith puplis wretchis.
Kutenda haki huliinua taifa, bali dhambi ni chukizo kwa watu wowote.
35 A mynystre vndurstondynge is acceptable to a kyng; a mynystre vnprofitable schal suffre the wrathfulnesse of him.
Fadhila ya mfalme ni kwa mtumishi mwenye kutenda kwa hekima, bali hasira yake ni kwa yule atendaye kwa kuaibisha.
