Thimo 11
1 Ratiri itarĩ cia ma nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no nĩakenagĩra mahiga ma gũthima marĩa maigananu.
A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.
2 Rĩrĩa mwĩtĩĩo woka, ũrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ thoni, no kwĩnyiihia kũrehaga ũũgĩ.
Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom.
3 Ũrũngĩrĩru wa arĩa marũgamĩte wega nĩũmonagĩrĩria njĩra, no andũ arĩa matarĩ ehokeku, nĩmanangagwo nĩ ũhinga wao.
The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.
4 Ũtonga ndũrĩ kĩguni mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ, no ũthingu nĩũkũũraga mũndũ kuuma kũrĩ gĩkuũ.
Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death.
5 Ũthingu wa andũ arĩa matarĩ na ũcuuke ũmathondekagĩra njĩra nũngarũ, no andũ arĩa aaganu magũithagio nĩ waganu wao ene.
The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 Ũthingu wa andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru nĩũmahonokagia, no andũ arĩa matarĩ ehokeku nĩmategagwo nĩ merirĩria mao mooru.
The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ mwaganu aakua, kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩake nĩgũthira gĩthiraga; kĩrĩa gĩothe eerĩgĩrĩire kuuma kũrĩ ũhoti wake gĩtuĩkaga o tũhũ.
When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish.
8 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu nĩahonokagio kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ, naguo ũgaacookerera ũrĩa mwaganu.
The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him.
9 Mũndũ ũtetigĩrĩte Ngai nĩanangaga mũndũ wa itũũra na kanua gake, no arĩa athingu nĩmetharaga nĩ ũndũ wa ũmenyo.
The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge.
10 Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu magaacĩra, itũũra nĩgũkena rĩkenaga; rĩrĩa andũ arĩa aaganu maathira, nĩkũrũhio kũrũũhagio.
When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.
11 Itũũra inene nĩrĩtũũgagĩrio nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrathimo kĩa andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru, no nĩrĩanangagwo nĩ kanua ka andũ arĩa aaganu.
By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.
12 Mũndũ ũtarĩ ũũgĩ wa gũkũũrana maũndũ anyũrũragia mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, no mũndũ ũrĩ na ũtaũku nĩ gwĩkirĩra ekiragĩra.
He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.
13 Mũndũ wa mũhuhu nĩoimagia ndeto cia ndundu nja, no mũndũ mwĩhokeku nĩaigaga hitho.
He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
14 Bũrũri ũngĩaga ũtongoria mwega nĩkũgũa ũgũũaga, no ataarani aingĩ matũmaga kũgĩe na ũhootani kũna.
Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
15 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũgamagĩrĩra thiirĩ wa mũndũ ũngĩ ti-itherũ nĩagathĩĩnĩka, no mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wagaga kũrũgamĩrĩra mũndũ thiirĩ atũũraga na thayũ.
He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.
16 Mũndũ-wa-nja mũtaana nĩegĩagĩra gĩtĩĩo, no arũme arĩa matarĩ tha no ũtonga magĩaga naguo.
A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.
17 Mũndũ mũtaana egunaga we mwene, no mũndũ ũtarĩ tha erehagĩra thĩĩna we mwene.
A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.
18 Mũndũ mwaganu athũkũmaga mũcaara wa kũmũheenia, no ũrĩa ũhaandaga ũthingu nĩagethaga irĩhi rĩa ma.
The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
19 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu kũna nĩagatũũra muoyo, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmagĩrĩra waganu nĩ gũkua agaakua.
Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.
20 Andũ arĩa marĩ ngoro ya rũtũrĩko nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no nĩakenagio nĩ andũ arĩa njĩra ciao itarĩ ũcuuke.
A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
21 Ti-itherũ mũndũ mwaganu ndakaaga kũherithio, no andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakahonokio.
Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
22 Mũndũ-wa-nja mũthaka ũtarĩ ũgereri ahaana ta gĩcũhĩ gĩa thahabu kĩrĩ iniũrũ-inĩ rĩa ngũrwe.
A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.
23 Wendi wa mũndũ mũthingu ũrĩkagĩrĩria o wega-inĩ, no kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩa mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu kĩrĩĩkagĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ-inĩ.
The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation.
24 Kũrĩ mũndũ ũheanaga na ũtaana, nake agakĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na indo; ũngĩ atuĩkaga mũkarĩ mũno, no agathiĩ o na mbere gũthĩĩna.
Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.
25 Mũndũ mũtaana nĩakagaacĩra; ũrĩa ũnyootoraga arĩa angĩ o nake mwene nĩakanyootorwo.
The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.
26 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũregaga kwenderia andũ mbembe iria aigĩte nĩarumagwo nĩ andũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũciendagia, kĩrathimo kĩrĩkoragwo mũtwe-inĩ wake.
He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.
27 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũcaragia maũndũ mega arĩonaga o wega, no ũrĩa ũcaragia maũndũ mooru no mo marĩmũkoraga.
Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them.
28 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩhokaga ũtonga wake nĩkũgũa akaagũa, no arĩa athingu makaagaacĩra ta ithangũ rĩrĩa iruru.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the just shall spring up as a green leaf.
29 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũnyamaragia mũciĩ wake akaagaya o rũhuho, nake mũndũ mũkĩĩgu agaatuĩka ndungata ya ũrĩa mũũgĩ.
He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise.
30 Maciaro ma andũ arĩa athingu nĩ mũtĩ wa muoyo, nake mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ nĩaguucagĩrĩria ngoro cia andũ.
The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise.
31 Angĩkorwo andũ arĩa athingu nĩmarĩhagwo marĩ gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, githĩ arĩa matetigĩrĩte Ngai na arĩa ehia matikarĩhwo makĩria!
If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner.
