1 O ta ũrĩa ngi nguũ itũmaga maguta manungi wega magĩe na kĩheera kĩuru-rĩ, noguo ũkĩĩgu mũnini ũkomagĩrĩria ũũgĩ na gĩtĩĩo.
Flies `that dien, leesen the swetnesse of oynement. Litil foli at a tyme is preciousere than wisdom and glorie.
2 Ngoro ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ yerekagĩra mwena wa ũrĩo, no ngoro ya mũndũ mũkĩĩgu ĩkeerekera mwena wa ũmotho.
The herte of a wijs man is in his riyt side; and the herte of a fool is in his left side.
3 O na rĩrĩa egũthiĩ na njĩra, mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩoragwo nĩ meciiria make, na akoonia mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa arĩ mũkĩĩgu.
But also a fool goynge in the weie, whanne he is vnwijs, gessith alle men foolis.
4 Marakara ma mũndũ ũrĩa wathanaga mangĩarahũka igũrũ rĩaku, ndũkoime harĩa ũrĩ; ũhooreri no ũhoorerie mahĩtia manene.
If the spirit of hym, that hath power, stieth on thee, forsake thou not thi place; for heeling schal make gretteste synnes to ceesse.
5 Nĩ harĩ ũndũ mũũru nyonete gũkũ thĩ kwaraga riũa, na nĩ ihĩtia rĩrĩa riumanaga na mwathi wa andũ:
An yuel is, which Y siy vndur the sunne, and goith out as bi errour fro the face of the prince; a fool set in hiy dignyte,
6 Atĩ andũ arĩa akĩĩgu nĩmatũũgagĩrio mũno, nao andũ arĩa itonga makanyiihio.
and riche men sitte bynethe.
7 Nĩnyonete ngombo igĩthiĩ ihaicĩte mbarathi, nao ariũ a athamaki magathiĩ na magũrũ ta ngombo.
I siy seruauntis on horsis, and princes as seruauntis goynge on the erthe.
8 Mũndũ ũrĩa wenjaga irima-rĩ, nĩwe ũkaarĩgũa; nake ũrĩa ũtharagia rũthingo nĩkũrũmwo akaarũmwo nĩ nyoka.
He that diggith a diche, schal falle in to it; and an eddre schal bite hym, that distrieth an hegge.
9 Mũndũ ũrĩa wenjaga mahiga no agerwo ngero nĩmo; nake ũrĩa watũraga ngũ no imũrehere ũgwati.
He that berith ouer stoonys, schal be turmentid in tho; and he that kittith trees, schal be woundid of tho.
10 Ithanwa rĩngĩtuuha na rĩage kũnoorwo-rĩ, mũndũ nĩatũmagĩra hinya mũingĩ, no ũũgĩ wa wĩra ũrehaga ũhootani.
If yrun is foldid ayen, and this is not as bifore, but is maad blunt, it schal be maad scharp with myche trauel; and wisdom schal sue aftir bisynesse.
11 Nyoka ĩngĩrũma mũndũ ĩtanathuuthĩrwo ĩhoorere-rĩ, hatirĩ bata kũrĩ mũmĩthuuthĩri.
If a serpent bitith, it bitith in silence; he that bacbitith priueli, hath no thing lesse than it.
12 Ciugo cia kanua ka mũndũ mũũgĩ nĩ cia ũtugi, no mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aniinagwo nĩ mĩromo yake mwene.
The wordis of the mouth of a wijs man is grace; and the lippis of an vnwijs man schulen caste hym doun.
13 Kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ ciugo ciake nĩ cia ũrimũ; na kĩrĩkĩrĩro-inĩ nĩ cia ũgũrũki mũtheri:
The bigynnyng of hise wordis is foli; and the laste thing of his mouth is the worste errour.
14 nake mũndũ mũkĩĩgu no ciugo aingĩhagia. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ ũrĩa gũkaahaana, ningĩ nũũ ũngĩmwĩra ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mageekĩka thuutha wake?
A fool multiplieth wordis; a man noot, what was bifore hym, and who mai schewe to hym that, that schal come aftir hym?
15 Wĩra wa mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩũmũnogagia; we ndamenyaga njĩra ya gũthiĩ itũũra-inĩ.
The trauel of foolis shal turment hem, that kunnen not go in to the citee.
16 Bũrũri ũrĩa mũthamaki wakuo aarĩ ndungata, na anene akuo marokagĩra kũrĩa o rũciinĩ kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Lond, wo to thee, whos kyng is a child, and whose princes eten eerli.
17 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩwe bũrũri ũrĩa mũthamaki waku aaciarĩtwo arĩ mũndũ wa gũtĩĩka, na ũrĩa ariũ ake marĩĩaga irio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire: nĩgeetha magĩe na hinya, na makanyua, no ti geetha marĩĩo.
Blessid is the lond, whos kyng is noble; and whose princis eten in her tyme, to susteyne the kynde, and not to waste.
18 Mũndũ angĩkorwo arĩ kĩgũũta, mĩitĩrĩro ya nyũmba yake nĩĩhocagĩrĩra; namo moko make mangĩregera, nyũmba no yure.
The hiynesse of housis schal be maad low in slouthis; and the hous schal droppe in the feblenesse of hondis.
19 Iruga rĩrugagwo nĩguo andũ makene, nayo ndibei ĩkenagia muoyo, no mbeeca nĩcio ihingagia maũndũ mothe.
In leiyyng thei disposen breed and wyn, that thei drynkynge ete largeli; and alle thingis obeien to monei.
20 Ndũkanarume mũthamaki, o na meciiria-inĩ maku, na ndũkanacuuke gĩtonga ũrĩ nyũmba yaku ya thĩinĩ, tondũ nyoni ya rĩera-inĩ no ĩtware ciugo ciaku, o na kana ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mathagu ĩheane ũhoro ũcio warĩtie.
In thi thouyt bacbite thou not the kyng, and in the priuete of thi bed, curse thou not a riche man; for the briddis of heuene schulen bere thi vois, and he that hath pennys, schal telle the sentence.
