Thimo 10
1 Mwana mũũgĩ atũmaga ithe akene, no mwana mũkĩĩgu atũũragia nyina na kĩeha.
Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
2 Mĩthiithũ yumanĩte na ungumania ndĩrĩ kĩguni, no ũthingu ũkũũraga mũndũ kuuma kũrĩ gĩkuũ.
Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
3 Jehova ndarekagĩrĩria mũndũ mũthingu ahũte, no nĩamarigagĩrĩria merirĩria ma mũndũ mwaganu.
Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
4 Moko ma kĩgũũta matũmaga mũndũ athĩĩne, no moko ma mũndũ ũrĩ kĩyo marehaga ũtonga.
Poor [is] he who is working — a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5 Ũrĩa ũcookanagĩrĩria irio hĩndĩ ya riũa nĩ mwana mũũgĩ, no ũrĩa ũkomaga hĩndĩ ya magetha nĩ mwana wa kũrehe thoni.
Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
6 Mũtwe wa mũndũ mũthingu ũikaraga ũhumbĩrĩtwo nĩ irathimo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu kaiyũraga ngũĩ.
Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
7 Kĩririkano kĩa mũndũ mũthingu gĩgatuĩka kĩrathimo, no rĩĩtwa rĩa mũndũ mwaganu nĩrĩkabutha.
The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.
8 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro nĩetĩkagĩra mawatho, no mũndũ wa kũhũhũtĩka nĩakanangĩka.
The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.
9 Mũndũ wa mĩthiĩre mĩrũngĩrĩru athiiaga ategwĩtigĩra ũgwati, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ mĩthiĩre mĩogomu nĩakamenyeka.
Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.
10 Mũndũ ũrĩa uunagĩra ũngĩ riitho na rũnano nĩarehage kĩeha, na mwaria mũkĩĩgu nĩakanangĩka.
Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
11 Kanua ka mũndũ mũthingu nĩ gĩthima kĩa muoyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu kaiyũraga ngũĩ.
A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
12 Rũmena rũrehaga nyamũkano, no wendani ũhumbagĩra ũũru wothe.
Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.
13 Ũũgĩ ũkoragwo mĩromo-inĩ ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũkũũrani maũndũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ aagĩrĩirwo nĩ rũthanju ciande-inĩ ciake.
In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
14 Andũ oogĩ meigagĩra ũmenyo, no kanua ga kĩrimũ keĩtagĩria mwanangĩko.
The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
15 Indo cia itonga nĩ gĩtũũro kĩao kĩirigĩre na hinya, no ũkĩa nĩguo mwanangĩko wa andũ arĩa athĩĩni.
The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
16 Mũcaara wa andũ arĩa athingu ũmarehagĩra muoyo, no indo iria cionagwo nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu imarehagĩra iherithia.
The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
17 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga agĩtaarwo arĩ njĩra-inĩ ya muoyo, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũregaga kũrũithio-rĩ, nĩahĩtithagia andũ arĩa angĩ.
A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
18 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhithaga rũmena rwake aaragia na mĩromo ya maheeni, na ũrĩa wothe ũcambanagia nĩ mũndũ mũkĩĩgu.
Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
19 Rĩrĩa ciugo ciaingĩha mehia matiagaga, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũkiraga nĩ mũũgĩ.
In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.
20 Rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ mũthingu nĩ betha njega, no ngoro ya mũndũ mwaganu ndĩrĩ bata.
The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.
21 Mĩromo ya arĩa athingu ĩhũnagia andũ aingĩ, no andũ akĩĩgu makuaga nĩ kwaga gũkũũrana maũndũ.
The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
22 Kĩrathimo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩo kĩrehaga ũtonga, na ndarĩ kĩeha onganagĩrĩria nakĩo.
The blessing of Jehovah — it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
23 Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu akenagĩra mĩtugo mĩũru, no mũndũ ũrĩ na ũtaũku akenagĩra ũũgĩ.
To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
24 Kĩrĩa mũndũ mwaganu etigagĩra nĩkĩo gĩkaamũkora, na kĩrĩa mũndũ mũthingu eriragĩria nĩkĩo akaaheo.
The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
25 Kĩhuhũkanio kĩahĩtũka andũ arĩa aaganu maticookaga kuoneka, no andũ arĩa athingu mehaandaga wega nginya tene.
As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.
26 Ta ũrĩa thiki ĩgagatagĩra magego, na ndogo ĩkarũrĩra maitho-rĩ, noguo kĩgũũta kĩhaana kũrĩ arĩa magĩtũmaga.
As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
27 Gwĩtigĩra Jehova-rĩ, kuongagĩrĩra mũndũ matukũ ma gũtũũra muoyo, no mĩaka ya mũndũ mwaganu nĩkũnyiihio ĩnyiihagio.
The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
28 Itanya rĩa mũndũ mũthingu nĩ gĩkeno, no kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩa mũndũ mwaganu no gĩa tũhũ.
The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth.
29 Njĩra ya Jehova nĩ rĩũrĩro rĩa andũ arĩa athingu, no nĩ mwanangĩko harĩ arĩa mekaga ũũru.
The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
30 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaamunywo, no ũrĩa mwaganu ndagatũũra thĩinĩ wa bũrũri.
The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.
31 Kanua ka mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu karehaga ũũgĩ, no rũrĩmĩ rwa ũtũrĩka nĩrũkaniinwo.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.
32 Mĩromo ya mũndũ mũthingu nĩyũũĩ kwaria ndeto iria ciagĩrĩire, no kanua ka ũrĩa mwaganu kaaragia o rũtũrĩko.
The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
