Proverbs 29
1 A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũikaraga omĩtie ngingo thuutha wa kũrũithio maita maingĩ, akaanangwo o rĩmwe, na aage kĩhonia.
2 In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.
Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu matheerema, andũ nĩmakenaga; no rĩrĩa andũ arĩa aaganu maathana, andũ nĩgũcaaya macaayaga.
3 A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wendete ũũgĩ atũũragia ithe na gĩkeno, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũceeraga na maraya nĩgũitanga aitangaga ũtonga wake.
4 A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.
Mũthamaki ũrĩ matuĩro ma kĩhooto aikaragia bũrũri ũrĩ mwĩkindĩru, no ũrĩa ũkorokagĩra mahaki nĩ kwananga awanangaga.
5 A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩyendithagĩrĩria harĩ mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na maheeni, nĩ wabu aambagĩra magũrũ make.
6 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
Mũndũ mwaganu ategagwo nĩ mehia make we mwene, no mũndũ mũthingu ainaga na agakena.
7 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmamenyagĩrĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa athĩĩni, no arĩa aaganu matirũmbũyagia kĩhooto kĩao.
8 Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.
Anyũrũrania matũmaga itũũra inene rĩrĩmbũke ta mwaki, no andũ oogĩ nĩkũniina maniinaga marakara.
9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.
Mũndũ mũũgĩ angĩthiĩ igooti-inĩ na mũndũ mũkĩĩgu, mũndũ mũkĩĩgu arĩrĩmbũkaga nĩ marakara na akanyũrũrania, naguo thayũ ũkaaga.
10 Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.
Andũ arĩa maitaga thakame nĩmathũire mũndũ mwĩhokeku, no andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru macaragia ũrĩa mangĩtiirĩrĩra muoyo wake.
11 A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.
Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aitũrũraga marakara make mothe, no mũndũ mũũgĩ aikaraga amarigĩrĩirie, akahoorera.
12 A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers [are] wicked.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wathanaga angĩthikĩrĩria maheeni-rĩ, anene ake othe matuĩkaga andũ aaganu.
13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.
Mũndũ mũthĩĩni na mũndũ mũhinyanĩrĩria harĩ ũndũ ũmwe ũmahaananĩtie: Jehova nĩwe ũtũmaga maitho mao eerĩ moone.
14 a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.
Mũthamaki angĩtuĩra athĩĩni ciira na kĩhooto-rĩ, gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩtũũraga kĩrũmĩte nginya tene.
15 A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.
Rũthanju na kũrũithio ciĩkagĩra mũndũ ũũgĩ, no mwana wa kũrekererio aconorithagia nyina.
16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ aaganu matheerema, noguo mehia matheeremaga, no andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakerorera igwa rĩao.
17 Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.
Herithagia mũrũguo, na nĩagatũma ũgĩe na thayũ; nĩagatũma ũgĩe na gĩkeno ngoro-inĩ.
18 Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!
Kũrĩa gũtarĩ na ũguũrio, kĩrĩndĩ gĩticookaga kwĩrigĩrĩria; no gũkena nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmagia watho.
19 By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.
Ndungata ndĩngĩhera nĩ kwarĩrio gũtheri; o na ĩngĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ndĩngĩũrũmbũiya.
20 Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.
Wanona mũndũ ũhiũhaga kwaria? Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu arĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kũmũkĩra.
21 Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, [At] his latter end also he is continuator.
Mũndũ angĩnania ndungata yake kuuma wĩthĩ wayo, marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩĩkamũrehera kĩeha.
22 An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.
Mũndũ wa marakara aarahũraga ngarari, nake mũndũ wa marũrũ agĩĩaga na mehia maingĩ.
23 The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.
Mwĩtĩĩo wa mũndũ nĩũmũnyiihagia, no mũndũ ũrĩa wa ngoro ya kwĩnyiihia nĩagatĩĩo.
24 Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.
Mũndũ wa kũgĩa thiritũ na mũici nĩ muoyo wake mwene athũire; ehĩtithagio na ndangĩruta ũira.
25 Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.
Gwĩtigĩra mũndũ gũtuĩkaga mũtego, no ũrĩa wĩhokaga Jehova aikaraga arĩ mũgitĩre.
26 Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah [is] the judgment of each.
Andũ aingĩ nĩmacaragia kũiguuo nĩ mũnene, no mũndũ oonaga kĩhooto kuuma kũrĩ Jehova.
27 An abomination to the righteous [is] the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked [is] the upright in the way!
Andũ arĩa athingu monaga andũ arĩa matarĩ ehokeku ta kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi; nao andũ arĩa aaganu moonaga andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru ta kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi.
