Proverbs 20
1 Wiyn is a letcherouse thing and drunkenesse is ful of noise; who euere delitith in these, schal not be wijs.
Divai ni dhihaka na kinywaji kikali ni mgomvi; anayepotea kwa kunywa hana busara.
2 As the roryng of a lioun, so and the drede of the kyng; he that territh hym to ire, synneth ayens his owne lijf.
Kumwogopa mfalme ni kama kumwogopa simba kijana aungurumaye, yeyote anayemkasirisha hutoa fidia ya maish yake.
3 It is onour to a man that departith hym silf fro stryuyngis; but fonned men ben medlid with dispisyngis.
Ni heshima kwa mtu yeyote kujiepusha na mafarakano, bali kila mpumbavu hurukia kwenye mabishano.
4 A slow man nolde ere for coold; therfor he schal begge in somer, and me schal not yyue to hym.
Mtu mvivu halimi majira ya kipupwe; hutafuta mazao wakati wa mavuno lakini hapati kitu.
5 As deep watir, so counsel is in the herte of a man; but a wijs man schal drawe it out.
Makusudi ndani ya moyo wa mtu ni kama maji yenye kina, bali mtu mwenye ufahamu huyateka.
6 Many men ben clepid merciful; but who schal fynde a feithful man?
Mara nyingi mtu husema yeye ni mwaminifu, lakini ni nani awezaye kumpata yule mwaminifu?
7 Forsothe a iust man that goith in his simplenesse, schal leeue blessid sones aftir hym.
Mtu atendaye haki hutembea katika uaminifu wake na wana wake wanaofuata baada yake wanafuraha.
8 A king that sittith in the seete of doom, distrieth al yuel bi his lokyng.
Mfalme anayeketi kwenye kiti cha hukumu akifanya kazi za kuhukumu hupembua kwa macho yake mabaya yote yaliyoko mbele yake.
9 Who may seie, Myn herte is clene; Y am clene of synne?
Nani anayeweza kusema, “Nimeuweka safi moyo wangu; nipo huru na dhambi zangu”?
10 A weiyte and a weiyte, a mesure and a mesure, euer eithir is abhomynable at God.
Mizani tofauti na vipimo visivyosawa - Yehova huvichukia vyote.

Masikio yanayosikia na macho yanayoona- Yehova aliyafanya yote.

Ipo dhahabu na mawe ya thamani, lakini midomo yenye maarifa ni kito cha thamani.
16 Take thou awei the cloth of hym, that was borewe of an othere man; and for straungeris take thou awei a wed fro hym.
Chukua vazi kama mmiliki wake ataweka fedha kama dhamana kwa deni la mgeni, na lichukue kama anaweka dhamana kwa uzinifu.
17 The breed of a leesing is sweet to a man; and aftirward his mouth schal be fillid with rikenyng.
