< Thimo 15 >
1 Icookio rĩa ũhooreri nĩrĩeheragia mangʼũrĩ, no kiugo kĩa ũũru kĩarahũraga marakara.
A soft answere brekith ire; an hard word reisith woodnesse.
2 Rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ rũgaathagĩrĩria ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu gathothokaga ũrimũ.
The tunge of wise men ourneth kunnyng; the mouth of foolis buylith out foli.
3 Maitho ma Jehova marĩ kũndũ guothe, magacũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa aaganu o na arĩa eega.
In ech place the iyen of the Lord biholden good men, and yuel men.
4 Rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũrehaga kĩhonia nĩ ta mũtĩ wa muoyo, no rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni rũthuthaga ngoro.
A plesaunt tunge is the tre of lijf; but the tunge which is vnmesurable, schal defoule the spirit.
5 Mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aregaga ũtaaro wa ithe, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo onanagia ũbaarĩrĩri.
A fool scorneth the techyng of his fadir; but he that kepith blamyngis, schal be maad wisere. Moost vertu schal be in plenteuouse riytfulnesse; but the thouytis of wickid men schulen be drawun vp bi the roote.
6 Nyũmba ya mũndũ mũthingu ĩkoragwo na kĩgĩĩna kĩnene, no uumithio wa andũ aaganu ũmarehagĩra thĩĩna.
The hous of a iust man is moost strengthe; and disturbling is in the fruitis of a wickid man.
7 Mĩromo ya andũ arĩa oogĩ ĩtambagia o ũũgĩ, no tiguo ngoro cia andũ arĩa akĩĩgu ciĩkaga.
The lippis of wise men schulen sowe abrood kunnyng; the herte of foolis schal be vnlijc.
8 Igongona rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no mahooya ma mũndũ ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru nĩamakenagĩrĩra.
The sacrifices of wickyd men ben abhomynable to the Lord; avowis of iust men ben plesaunt.
9 Njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no nĩendete andũ arĩa mathingataga ũthingu.
The lijf of the vnpitouse man is abhomynacioun to the Lord; he that sueth riytfulnesse, schal be loued of the Lord.
10 Iherithia rĩtarĩ rĩa tha rĩetereire mũndũ ũrĩa ũtigĩte njĩra, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũthũire kũrũngwo nĩagaakua.
Yuel teching is of men forsakinge the weie of lijf; he that hatith blamyngis, schal die.
11 Gĩkuũ na Mwanangĩko ciikaraga ciĩyanĩkĩte mbere ya Jehova, ĩ nacio ngoro cia andũ-rĩ, ikĩĩanĩkĩte atĩa! (Sheol )
Helle and perdicioun ben open bifor the Lord; hou myche more the hertis of sones of men. (Sheol )
12 Mũnyũrũrania nĩathũire kũrũngwo; ndangĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũgĩ.
A man ful of pestilence loueth not hym that repreueth him; and he goith not to wyse men.
13 Ngoro ngenu ĩtũmaga gĩthiithi gĩthere, no ruo rwa ngoro rũthuthaga roho.
A ioiful herte makith glad the face; the spirit is cast doun in the morenyng of soule.
14 Ngoro ĩrĩ na gũkũũrana maũndũ nĩĩmaathaga ũmenyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mũkĩĩgu kehũũnagia na ũrimũ.
The herte of a wijs man sekith techyng; and the mouth of foolis is fed with vnkunnyng.
15 Matukũ mothe ma andũ arĩa ahatĩrĩrie nĩ ma thĩĩna, no ngoro ĩrĩa njanjamũku ĩkoragwo na ndĩa hĩndĩ ciothe.
Alle the daies of a pore man ben yuele; a sikir soule is a contynuel feeste.
16 Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini hamwe na gwĩtigĩra Jehova, gũkĩra ũtonga mũnene ũrĩ na kĩnyariirĩko.
Betere is a litil with the drede of the Lord, than many tresouris and vnfillable.
17 Nĩ kaba kũrĩa rwĩga rwa nyeni harĩa harĩ wendo, gũkĩra kũrĩa njaũ noru harĩa harĩ na rũthũũro.
It is betere to be clepid to wortis with charite, than with hatrede to a calf maad fat.
18 Mũndũ ũhiũhaga kũrakara aarahũraga ngarari, no mũndũ mũkirĩrĩria nĩkũhooreria ahooragĩria haaro.
A wrathful man reisith chidyngis; he that is pacient, swagith chidyngis reisid.
19 Njĩra ya kĩgũũta nĩkũhingwo ĩhingĩtwo na mĩigua, no njĩra ya mũndũ mũrũngĩrĩru nĩ njĩra njariĩ.
The weie of slow men is an hegge of thornes; the weie of iust men is with out hirtyng.
20 Mwana mũũgĩ atũmaga ithe akene, no mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩ nyina anyararaga.
A wise sone makith glad the fadir; and a fonned man dispisith his modir.
21 Ũrimũ ũkenagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa mũkuũku nĩarũngagĩrĩria mĩthiĩre yake.
Foli is ioye to a fool; and a prudent man schal dresse hise steppis.
22 Mĩbango nĩĩthaataga nĩ kwaga kĩrĩra, no kũrĩ na ataarani aingĩ mĩbango nĩĩgaacagĩra.
Thouytis ben distried, where no counsel is; but where many counseleris ben, tho ben confermyd.
23 Mũndũ nĩaiguaga gĩkeno agĩcookia ũhoro ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, nakĩo kiugo kĩarĩtio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire, kaĩ nĩ kĩega-ĩ!
A man is glad in the sentence of his mouth; and a couenable word is best.
24 Harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ njĩra ya muoyo ĩrorete na igũrũ, ĩmũgirie gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ. (Sheol )
The path of lijf is on a lernyd man; that he bowe awei fro the laste helle. (Sheol )
25 Jehova nĩamomoraga nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi, no nĩamenyagĩrĩra mĩhaka ya mũtumia wa ndigwa.
The Lord schal distrie the hows of proude men; and he schal make stidefast the coostis of a widewe.
26 Meciiria ma mũndũ mwaganu nĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, no meciiria ma andũ arĩa atheru nĩmamũkenagia.
Iuele thouytis is abhomynacioun of the Lord; and a cleene word moost fair schal be maad stidfast of hym.
27 Mũndũ mũkoroku arehagĩra nyũmba yake thĩĩna, no ũrĩa ũthũire mahaki nĩagatũũra muoyo.
He that sueth aueryce, disturblith his hous; but he that hatith yiftis schal lyue. Synnes ben purgid bi merci and feith; ech man bowith awei fro yuel bi the drede of the Lord.
28 Ngoro ya mũndũ mũthingu nĩĩthimaga macookio mayo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu gathothokaga ũũru.
The soule of a iust man bithenkith obedience; the mouth of wickid men is ful of yuelis.
29 Jehova aikaraga haraaya na andũ arĩa aaganu, no nĩaiguaga mahooya ma andũ arĩa athingu.
The Lord is fer fro wickid men; and he schal here the preyers of iust men.
30 Gũtheria gĩthiithi nĩkũrehagĩra ngoro gĩkeno, naguo ũhoro ũrĩa mwega nĩwĩkĩraga mahĩndĩ hinya.
The liyt of iyen makith glad the soule; good fame makith fat the boonys.
31 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthikagĩrĩria ikaanania rĩrĩa rĩrehaga muoyo nĩagatũũrania na andũ arĩa oogĩ.
The eere that herith the blamyngis of lijf, schal dwelle in the myddis of wise men.
32 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũregaga kũigua agĩkaanio nĩ kwĩnyarara enyararaga we mwene, no mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩtĩkagĩra kũrũngwo agĩĩaga na ũtaũku.
He that castith awei chastisyng, dispisith his soule; but he that assentith to blamyngis, is pesible holdere of the herte.
33 Gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩkuo kũheaga mũndũ ũũgĩ, nakuo kwĩnyiihia gũtongoragia gĩtĩĩo.
The drede of the Lord is teching of wisdom; and mekenesse goith bifore glorie.
