Thimo 27
1 Tiga kwĩraha nĩ ũndũ wa rũciũ, nĩgũkorwo ndũũĩ kĩrĩa mũthenya ũngĩrehe.
Haue thou not glorie on the morewe, `not knowynge what thing the dai to comynge schal bringe forth.
2 Reke mũndũ ũngĩ akũgaathĩrĩrie, no ti kanua gaku mwene; mũndũ ũngĩ nĩakũgaathĩrĩrie, no ti mĩromo yaku mwene.
Another man, and not thi mouth preise thee; a straunger, and not thi lippis `preise thee.
3 Ihiga nĩ iritũ na mũthanga nĩ mũrigo, no kũrakario nĩ mũndũ mũkĩĩgu nĩ kũritũ gũkĩra icio cierĩ.
A stoon is heuy, and grauel is chariouse; but the ire of a fool is heuyere than euer eithir.
4 Marakara matirĩ tha, namo marũrũ moinaga ta mũiyũro; no ũiru-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩhota kũwĩtiiria?
Ire hath no merci, and woodnesse brekynge out `hath no merci; and who mai suffre the fersnesse of a spirit stirid?
5 Kaba kũrũithio nĩ mũndũ ũtekũhithĩrĩra ũndũ gũkĩra wendo mũhithe.
Betere is opyn repreuyng, than loue hid.
6 Nguraro cia gũtihio nĩ mũrata no ciĩhokwo, no imumunyano nyingĩ cia mũgũthũũri ti cia kwĩhokwo.
Betere ben the woundis of hym that loueth, than the gileful cossis of hym that hatith.
7 Mũndũ mũhũũnu athũũraga o na ũũkĩ, no mũndũ mũhũũtu, o na kĩndũ kĩrũrũ aiguaga kĩrĩ mũrĩo.
A man fillid schal dispise an hony coomb; but an hungri man schal take, yhe, bittir thing for swete.
8 Mũndũ ũũrĩte gwake mũciĩ ahaana ta nyoni ĩtiganĩirie gĩtara kĩayo.
As a brid passinge ouer fro his nest, so is a man that forsakith his place.
9 Maguta manungi wega na ũbumba irehagĩra ngoro ya mũndũ gĩkeno, na noguo wega wa mũrata wa mũndũ wĩkaga akĩmũhe ũtaaro wake wa ma.
The herte delitith in oynement, and dyuerse odours; and a soule is maad swete bi the good counsels of a frend.
10 Ndũkanateanĩrie mũrata waku kana mũrata wa thoguo, na ndũgathiĩ kwa mũrũ wa maitũguo rĩrĩa mũtino wagũkora: nĩ kaba mũndũ wa itũũra ũcio ũrĩ hakuhĩ, gũkĩra mũrũ wa nyina na mũndũ ũrĩ kũraya.
Forsake thou not thi frend, and the frend of thi fadir; and entre thou not in to the hous of thi brothir, in the dai of thi turment. Betere is a neiybore nyy, than a brothir afer.
11 Mũrũ wakwa, tuĩka mũndũ mũũgĩ, ũgĩkenagie ngoro yakwa; na niĩ hotage gũcookagĩria mũndũ o wothe ũngĩĩnyarara.
Mi sone, studie thou a boute wisdom, and make thou glad myn herte; that thou maist answere a word to a dispisere.
12 Mũndũ mũũgĩ oonaga ũgwati ũgĩũka akehitha, no arĩa matarĩ ũũgĩ mathiiaga o na mbere, nao magatoonya thĩĩna-inĩ.
A fel man seynge yuel was hid; litle men of wit passinge forth suffriden harmes.
13 Oya nguo ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũgamagĩrĩra thiirĩ wa mũndũ wa kũngĩ; mĩige ĩrũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ ũcio wa mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũngĩ.
Take thou awei his clooth, that bihiyte for a straunger; and take thou awei a wed fro hym for an alien man.
14 Mũndũ angĩrathima mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake rũciinĩ tene anĩrĩire-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio ũngĩtuĩka taarĩ kĩrumi.
He that blessith his neiybore with greet vois; and risith bi niyt, schal be lijk hym that cursith.
15 Mũtumia wa haaro ahaanaine na maaĩ maratata mategũtigithĩria hĩndĩ ya mbura;
Roouys droppynge in the dai of coold, and a womman ful of chidyng ben comparisond.
16 kũgeria kũmũgirĩrĩria nĩ ta kũgeria kũgirĩrĩria rũhuho, kana kũgeria gũkumbatĩria maguta na guoko.
He that withholdith hir, as if he holdith wynd; and auoidith the oile of his riyt hond.
17 O ta ũrĩa kĩgera kĩnooraga kĩrĩa kĩngĩ, no taguo mũndũ ohĩgagia ũrĩa ũngĩ.
Yrun is whettid bi irun; and a man whettith the face of his frend.
18 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩmagĩra mũkũyũ nĩakaarĩa maciaro maguo, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũtungataga mwathi wake nĩagatĩĩo.
He that kepith a fige tre, schal ete the fruytis therof; and he that is a kepere of his lord, schal be glorified.
19 O ta ũrĩa mũndũ onaga ũthiũ wake maaĩ-inĩ, no taguo ngoro ya mũndũ yonanagia ũrĩa mũndũ atariĩ.
As the cheris of men biholdinge schynen in watris; so the hertis of men ben opyn to prudent men.
Helle and perdicioun schulen not be fillid; so and the iyen of men moun not be fillid. (Sheol h7585)
21 Nyũngũ nĩ ya gũthererio betha, na kĩrugutĩro nĩ gĩa gũthererio thahabu, no mũndũ athimagwo na igweta rĩrĩa agwetagwo narĩo.
As siluer is preuyd in a wellyng place, and gold `is preued in a furneys; so a man is preued bi the mouth of preyseris. The herte of a wickid man sekith out yuels; but a riytful herte sekith out kunnyng.
22 O na ũngĩhũũrĩra mũndũ mũkĩĩgu ndĩrĩ-inĩ, ũmũhũũre na mũũthĩ ta ngano-rĩ, ndangiumwo nĩ ũrimũ wake.
Thouy thou beetist a fool in a morter, as with a pestel smytynge aboue dried barli; his foli schal not be don awei fro him.
23 Thũũrimaga mahiũ maku na kĩyo, ũmenyagĩrĩre wega ndũũru ciaku;
Knowe thou diligentli the cheere of thi beeste; and biholde thou thi flockis.
24 nĩgũkorwo ũtonga ndũtũũraga nginya tene, o nayo thũmbĩ ti ya gũkinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
For thou schalt not haue power contynueli; but a coroun schal be youun to thee in generacioun and in to generacioun.
25 Nyeki ĩrĩa nyũmũ rĩrĩa yatũgũtwo na nyeki njerũ ĩkunũke-rĩ, nayo ĩrĩa ya irĩma-inĩ yũnganio na ĩinũkio-rĩ,
Medewis ben openyd, and greene eerbis apperiden; and hey is gaderid fro hillis.
26 hĩndĩ ĩyo tũgondu nĩtũgaatũma ũgĩe na nguo, nacio mbũri itũme ũgĩe na gĩa kũgũra mũgũnda.
Lambren be to thi clothing; and kidis be to the prijs of feeld.
27 Nĩũkagĩa na iria rĩingĩ rĩa mbũri rĩa gũkũigana na rĩa kũnyuuo nĩ andũ a nyũmba yaku, o na rĩa gũtũũria airĩtu aku a wĩra.
The mylke of geete suffice to thee for thi meetis; in to the necessarie thingis of thin hous, and to lijflode to thin handmaidis.
