Thimo 15
1 Icookio rĩa ũhooreri nĩrĩeheragia mangʼũrĩ, no kiugo kĩa ũũru kĩarahũraga marakara.
A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.
2 Rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ rũgaathagĩrĩria ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu gathothokaga ũrimũ.
The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
3 Maitho ma Jehova marĩ kũndũ guothe, magacũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa aaganu o na arĩa eega.
The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
4 Rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũrehaga kĩhonia nĩ ta mũtĩ wa muoyo, no rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni rũthuthaga ngoro.
A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
5 Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aregaga ũtaaro wa ithe, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo onanagia ũbaarĩrĩri.
A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
6 Nyũmba ya mũndũ mũthingu ĩkoragwo na kĩgĩĩna kĩnene, no uumithio wa andũ aaganu ũmarehagĩra thĩĩna.
The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
7 Mĩromo ya andũ arĩa oogĩ ĩtambagia o ũũgĩ, no tiguo ngoro cia andũ arĩa akĩĩgu ciĩkaga.
The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
8 Igongona rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no mahooya ma mũndũ ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru nĩamakenagĩrĩra.
The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
9 Njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no nĩendete andũ arĩa mathingataga ũthingu.
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
10 Iherithia rĩtarĩ rĩa tha rĩetereire mũndũ ũrĩa ũtigĩte njĩra, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũthũire kũrũngwo nĩagaakua.
Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Gĩkuũ na Mwanangĩko ciikaraga ciĩyanĩkĩte mbere ya Jehova, ĩ nacio ngoro cia andũ-rĩ, ikĩĩanĩkĩte atĩa! (Sheol h7585)
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
12 Mũnyũrũrania nĩathũire kũrũngwo; ndangĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũgĩ.
A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
13 Ngoro ngenu ĩtũmaga gĩthiithi gĩthere, no ruo rwa ngoro rũthuthaga roho.
A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.
14 Ngoro ĩrĩ na gũkũũrana maũndũ nĩĩmaathaga ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu kehũũnagia na ũrimũ.
The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 Matukũ mothe ma andũ arĩa ahatĩrĩrie nĩ ma thĩĩna, no ngoro ĩrĩa njanjamũku ĩkoragwo na ndĩa hĩndĩ ciothe.
All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.
16 Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini hamwe na gwĩtigĩra Jehova, gũkĩra ũtonga mũnene ũrĩ na kĩnyariirĩko.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,
17 Nĩ kaba kũrĩa rwĩga rwa nyeni harĩa harĩ wendo, gũkĩra kũrĩa njaũ noru harĩa harĩ na rũthũũro.
It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
18 Mũndũ ũhiũhaga kũrakara aarahũraga ngarari, no mũndũ mũkirĩrĩria nĩkũhooreria ahooragĩria haaro.
A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.
19 Njĩra ya kĩgũũta nĩkũhingwo ĩhingĩtwo na mĩigua, no njĩra ya mũndũ mũrũngĩrĩru nĩ njĩra njariĩ.
The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.
20 Mwana mũũgĩ atũmaga ithe akene, no mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩ nyina anyararaga.
A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Ũrimũ ũkenagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa mũkuũku nĩarũngagĩrĩria mĩthiĩre yake.
Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.
22 Mĩbango nĩĩthaataga nĩ kwaga kĩrĩra, no kũrĩ na ataarani aingĩ mĩbango nĩĩgaacagĩra.
Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
23 Mũndũ nĩaiguaga gĩkeno agĩcookia ũhoro ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, nakĩo kiugo kĩarĩtio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire, kaĩ nĩ kĩega-ĩ!
A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
24 Harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ njĩra ya muoyo ĩrorete na igũrũ, ĩmũgirie gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ. (Sheol h7585)
The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
25 Jehova nĩamomoraga nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi, no nĩamenyagĩrĩra mĩhaka ya mũtumia wa ndigwa.
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
26 Meciiria ma mũndũ mwaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no meciiria ma andũ arĩa atheru nĩmamũkenagia.
Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
27 Mũndũ mũkoroku arehagĩra nyũmba yake thĩĩna, no ũrĩa ũthũire mahaki nĩagatũũra muoyo.
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
28 Ngoro ya mũndũ mũthingu nĩĩthimaga macookio mayo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu gathothokaga ũũru.
The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
29 Jehova aikaraga haraaya na andũ arĩa aaganu, no nĩaiguaga mahooya ma andũ arĩa athingu.
The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
30 Gũtheria gĩthiithi nĩkũrehagĩra ngoro gĩkeno, naguo ũhoro ũrĩa mwega nĩwĩkĩraga mahĩndĩ hinya.
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.
31 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthikagĩrĩria ikaanania rĩrĩa rĩrehaga muoyo nĩagatũũrania na andũ arĩa oogĩ.
The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
32 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũregaga kũigua agĩkaanio nĩ kwĩnyarara enyararaga we mwene, no mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo agĩĩaga na ũtaũku.
He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
33 Gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩkuo kũheaga mũndũ ũũgĩ, nakuo kwĩnyiihia gũtongoragia gĩtĩĩo.
The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
