< Thimo 25 >
1 Ici nĩ thimo ingĩ cia Solomoni, iria ciacookanĩrĩirio na ikĩandĩkwo nĩ andũ a Hezekia ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki wa Juda:
Also these ben the Parablis of Salomon, whiche the men of Ezechie, kyng of Juda, translatiden.
2 Kũhithĩrĩra ũndũ nĩ ũgooci wa Ngai; nakuo gũtuĩria ũndũ nĩkuo kũgoocithagia athamaki.
The glorie of God is to hele a word; and the glorie of kyngis is to seke out a word.
3 O ta ũrĩa igũrũ kũraihĩte na igũrũ, nakuo thĩ gũkarika mũno-rĩ, ũguo noguo ngoro cia athamaki itangĩtuĩrĩka.
Heuene aboue, and the erthe bynethe, and the herte of kyngis is vnserchable.
4 Theria betha ĩthire gĩko, na nĩhegũtigara kĩndũ kĩa mũturi wa betha;
Do thou a wei rust fro siluer, and a ful cleene vessel schal go out.
5 eheria andũ arĩa aaganu harĩ mũthamaki, na gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene nĩgĩkũrũmio nĩ ũthingu.
Do thou awei vnpite fro the cheer of the kyng, and his trone schal be maad stidfast bi riytfulnesse.
6 Ndũgetũũgĩrie harĩ mũthamaki, na ndũkerũgamie gatagatĩ ka anene;
Appere thou not gloriouse bifore the kyng, and stonde thou not in the place of grete men.
7 kaba mũthamaki we mwene akwĩre, “Ambata, ũũke haha,” gũkĩra agũconorithie mbere ya mũndũ ũrĩ igweta. Ũndũ ũrĩa wonete na maitho-rĩ,
For it is betere, that it be seid to thee, Stie thou hidur, than that thou be maad low bifore the prince.
8 ndũkahiũhe kũũtwara igooti-inĩ, tondũ-rĩ, ũgeeka atĩa marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku angĩkaaruta ũira agũconorithie?
Brynge thou not forth soone tho thingis in strijf, whiche thin iyen sien; lest aftirward thou maist not amende, whanne thou hast maad thi frend vnhonest.
9 Ciirai na mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku we mwene, nĩguo ndũkoimie ndundu ya mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ nja,
Trete thi cause with thi frend, and schewe thou not priuyte to a straunge man;
10 kana ũiguuo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ agũconore, ũtũũre na ngumo njũru ĩtagagũthira.
lest perauenture he haue ioye of thi fal, whanne he hath herde, and ceesse not to do schenschipe to thee. Grace and frenschip delyueren, whiche kepe thou to thee, that thou be not maad repreuable.
11 Kiugo kĩarĩtio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire nĩ ta matunda ma thahabu marĩ thaani-inĩ ya betha.
A goldun pomel in beddis of siluer is he, that spekith a word in his time.
12 Gĩcũhĩ gĩa gũtũ gĩa thahabu, kana ithaga rĩa thahabu ĩrĩa therie, nĩ taguo irũithia rĩa mũndũ mũũgĩ rĩtariĩ gũtũ-inĩ kwa mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga.
A goldun eere ryng, and a schinynge peerle is he, that repreueth a wijs man, and an eere obeiynge.
13 Ta ũhehu wa tharunji hĩndĩ ya magetha, no taguo mũtwari ndũmĩrĩri mwĩhokeku ahaana kũrĩ arĩa mamũtũmaga; nĩatũmaga ngoro cia anene ake ikene.
As the coold of snow in the dai of heruest, so a feithful messanger to hym that sente `thilke messanger, makith his soule to haue reste.
14 O ta ũrĩa matu na rũhuho matarĩ mbura ihaana, no taguo mũndũ ahaana ũrĩa ũrahaga ũrĩa ekũheana iheo na ndaheane.
A cloude and wind, and reyn not suynge, is a gloriouse man, and not fillynge biheestis.
15 Ũkirĩrĩria no ũguucĩrĩrie ũrĩa waathanaga etĩkĩre ũndũ, naruo rũrĩmĩ ruororo no ruune ihĩndĩ.
A prince schal be maad soft bi pacience; and a soft tunge schal breke hardnesse.
16 Ũngĩona ũũkĩ-rĩ, rĩa o wa gũkũigana, ũngĩrĩa mũingĩ mũno nĩũgũtahĩka.
Thou hast founde hony, ete thou that that suffisith to thee; lest perauenture thou be fillid, and brake it out.
17 Nyiihia gũthiiaga kwa mũndũ wa itũũra, ũngĩthiĩ kaingĩ no anogio nĩwe agũthũũre.
Withdrawe thi foot fro the hous of thi neiybore; lest sum tyme he be fillid, and hate thee.
18 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũheanaga ũira wa maheeni agookĩrĩra mũndũ wa itũũra, ahaana ta njũgũma, kana rũhiũ rwa njora, kana mũguĩ mũũgĩ.
A dart, and a swerd, and a scharp arowe, a man that spekith fals witnessing ayens his neiybore.
19 Kwĩhoka mũndũ ũtarĩ mwĩhokeku hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna, no ta kwĩhoka igego ituĩku, kana kũgũrũ kũrathua.
A rotun tooth, and a feynt foot is he, that hopith on an vnfeithful man in the dai of angwisch,
20 Ũrĩa ũinagĩra mũndũ ũrĩ na ngoro nditũ nyĩmbo, no ta mũndũ kwĩruta nguo mũthenya wa heho, kana gũitĩrĩria thiki igata-inĩ.
and leesith his mentil in the dai of coold. Vynegre in a vessel of salt is he, that singith songis to the worste herte. As a mouyte noieth a cloth, and a worm noieth a tree, so the sorewe of a man noieth the herte.
21 Thũ yaku ĩngĩkorwo ĩhũtiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe irio ĩrĩe; ĩngĩkorwo ĩnyootiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe maaĩ ĩnyue.
If thin enemy hungrith, feede thou him; if he thirstith, yyue thou watir to hym to drinke;
22 Weka ũguo-rĩ, nĩũkũmĩigĩrĩra makara ma mwaki mũtwe, nake Jehova nĩagakũrĩha.
for thou schalt gadere togidere coolis on his heed; and the Lord schal yelde to thee.
23 O ta ũrĩa rũhuho rwa gathigathini rũrehaga mbura, noguo rũrĩmĩ rwa njuukũ rũrehaga ũhoro wa marakara.
The north wind scatereth reynes; and a sorewful face distrieth a tunge bacbitinge.
24 Nĩ kaba gũtũũra nyũmba-igũrũ koine-inĩ, gũkĩra gũtũũrania nyũmba thĩinĩ na mũtumia wa haaro.
It is betere to sitte in the corner of an hous without roof, than with a womman ful of chidyng, and in a comyn hous.
25 O ta ũrĩa maaĩ mahehu manyootoraga mũndũ mũnyootu, no taguo ũhoro mwega uumĩte bũrũri wa kũraya wĩkaga.
Coold watir to a thirsti man; and a good messanger fro a fer lond.
26 O ta gĩthima kĩiyũrĩte ndaka, kana itherũkĩro rĩa maaĩ riunjuge, ũguo nĩguo mũndũ mũthingu ahaanaga angĩĩrekereria harĩ andũ arĩa aaganu.
A welle disturblid with foot, and a veyne brokun, a iust man fallinge bifore a wickid man.
27 Ti wega kũrĩa ũũkĩ mũingĩ mũno, o na ti ũndũ wa gũtĩĩka mũndũ gwĩcarĩria gĩtĩĩo we mwene.
As it is not good to hym that etith myche hony; so he that is a serchere of maieste, schal be put doun fro glorie.
28 Mũndũ ũtangĩhota gwatha ngoro yake atariĩ ta itũũra inene rĩmomoku, na rĩtarĩ na thingo.
As a citee opyn, and with out cumpas of wallis; so is a man that mai not refreyne his spirit in speking.
