Thimo 3
1 Mũrũ wakwa, ndũkariganĩrwo nĩ ũrutani wakwa, no ngoro yaku nĩĩrũmagie maathani makwa,
O son my instruction my may not you forget and commandments my let it keep heart your.
2 nĩgũkorwo nĩmagakuongerera matukũ ũtũũre mĩaka mĩingĩ, na matũme ũgaacĩre.
For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
3 Ndũkanareke wendani na wĩhokeku ikweherere; cioherere ngingo yaku, ũciandĩke kĩhengere-inĩ kĩa ngoro yaku.
Loyalty and faithfulness may not they leave you bind them on necks your write them on [the] tablet of heart your.
4 Weka ũguo nĩũgeetĩkĩrĩka, na ũgĩe na rĩĩtwa rĩega maitho-inĩ ma Ngai o na ma andũ.
And find favor and insight good in [the] eyes of God and humankind.
5 Wĩhoke Jehova na ngoro yaku yothe, na ndũkanehoke ũmenyo waku mwene;
Trust to Yahweh with all heart your and to own understanding your may not you depend.
6 mũmenyithagie mĩthiĩre yaku yothe, na nĩarĩrũngaga njĩra ciaku.
In all ways your acknowledge him and he he will make straight paths your.
7 Tiga kwĩonaga ũrĩ mũũgĩ maitho-inĩ maku mwene; wĩtigĩre Jehova na ũtheemage maũndũ marĩa mooru.
May not you be wise in own eyes your fear Yahweh and turn aside from evil.
8 Ũndũ ũcio nĩũrĩkũrehagĩra ũgima wa mwĩrĩ, na mahĩndĩ maku makoragwo marĩ na hinya.
Healing may it be to navel your and refreshment to bones your.
9 Tĩĩaga Jehova na ũtonga waku, ningĩ ũmũtĩĩage na maciaro mothe ma mbere ma irio ciaku cia mĩgũnda;
Honor Yahweh from wealth your and from [the] first of all produce your.
10 namo makũmbĩ maku nĩmakaiyũrĩrĩra, nayo mĩtũngi yaku ĩiyũrĩrĩre ndibei ya mũhihano.
So they may be filled storehouses your plenty and new wine wine vats your they will burst open.
11 Mũrũ wakwa, tiga kũnyarara ihũũra rĩa Jehova, na ndũgathũũre irũithia rĩake,
[the] discipline of Yahweh O son my may not you reject and may not you loath rebuke his.
12 nĩgũkorwo Jehova arũithagia arĩa endete, o ta ũrĩa ithe wa mũndũ arũithagia mũriũ ũrĩa akenagĩra.
For [the one] whom he loves Yahweh he reproves and like a father a son [whom] he is pleased with.
13 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wonete ũũgĩ, mũndũ ũcio wĩgĩĩrĩire na ũmenyo,
How blessed! [is] a person [who] he finds wisdom and a person [who] he obtains understanding.
14 nĩgũkorwo ũũgĩ nĩ wa bata mũno gũkĩra betha, na ũciaraga uumithio ũkĩrĩte wa thahabu.
For [is] good profit her more than [the] profit of silver and more than gold gain her.
15 Ũũgĩ ũrĩ goro gũkĩra ruru iria ndune; kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩĩrirĩria gũtirĩ kĩngĩringithanio naguo.
[is] precious She (more than jewels *Q(k)*) and all pleasures your not they compare with her.
16 Guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo harĩ ũingĩ wa matukũ; guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũmotho harĩ na ũtonga na gĩtĩĩo.
Length of days [is] in right [hand] her [are] in left [hand] her wealth and honor.
17 Mĩthiĩre ya ũũgĩ nĩ mĩthiĩre ya kwendeka, na njĩra ciaguo ciothe nĩ cia thayũ.
Ways her [are] ways of kindness and all pathways her [are] well-being.
18 Ũũgĩ nĩ mũtĩ wa muoyo kũrĩ arĩa maũhĩmbagĩria; arĩa megĩagĩra naguo-rĩ, nĩmarĩrathimagwo.
[is] a tree of Life she to [those who] take hold on her and [those who] hold fast to her [are] called blessed.
19 Jehova aahandire mĩthingi ya thĩ na ũũgĩ, na akĩrũmia igũrũ na ũmenyo wake;
Yahweh by wisdom he founded [the] earth he established [the] heavens by understanding.
20 ũmenyo wake nĩguo wagayanirie kũrĩa kũriku, namo matu magatatagia ime.
By knowledge his [the] depths they were split open and clouds they dripped dew.
21 Mũrũ wakwa tũũria matua mega na ũkũũrani maũndũ, ndũkanareke ciehere maitho-inĩ maku;
O son my may not they depart from eyes your keep sound wisdom and discretion.
22 nĩcio igaagũtũũria muoyo, na nĩ ithaga rĩa kũgemagia ngingo yaku.
So they may be life for self your and grace for neck your.
23 Ningĩ ũrĩthiiaga na njĩra yaku ũrĩ na thayũ, na kũgũrũ gwaku gũtikahĩngwo;
Then you will walk to security way your and foot your not it will strike.
24 Wakoma-rĩ, ndũgetigĩra; wakoma-rĩ, ũrĩkomaga toro mwega.
If you will lie down not you will fear and you will lie down and it will be pleasing sleep your.
25 Ndũgetigĩre mwanangĩko wa narua, kana kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩkoragĩrĩra andũ arĩa aaganu,
May not you be afraid from terror suddenly and from [the] devastation of wicked [people] that it will come.
26 nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mwĩhoko waku, na amenyagĩrĩre kũgũrũ gwaku gũtikanyiitwo nĩ mũtego.
For Yahweh he will be confidence your and he will keep foot your from capture.
27 Ndũkanagirĩrĩrie ũndũ mwega ũkinyĩre arĩa maagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkinyĩrĩrwo nĩguo, rĩrĩa ũrĩ na ũhoti wa kũhingia ũndũ ũcio.
May not you withhold good from owners its when belongs to [the] power of (hand your *Q(K)*) to do [it].
28 Ndũkaneere mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũgooka rĩngĩ; kĩu ũrenda nĩngakũhe rũciũ,” o rĩrĩa ũrĩ na kĩndũ kĩu hakuhĩ.
May not you say (to neighbor your *Q(K)*) go and come back and tomorrow I will give [it] and there is with you.
29 Ndũkanaciirĩre gwĩka mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku ũũru, ũcio ũtũũraga hakuhĩ nawe akwĩhokete.
May not you devise on neighbor your harm and he [is] dwelling to security with you.
30 Ndũkanarũithie mũndũ tũhũ, rĩrĩa atarĩ ũndũ mũũru agwĩkĩte.
May not (you contend *Q(k)*) with anyone without cause if not he has dealt out to you evil.
31 Ndũkanacumĩkĩre maũndũ ma mũndũ wa ngũĩ, kana ũthuure njĩra o na ĩmwe yake,
May not you be jealous of a person of violence and may not you choose all ways his.
32 nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathũire mũndũ mwaganu, no nĩagĩĩaga ndundu na andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru.
For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh a crooked [person] and [is] with upright [people] intimacy his.
33 Nyũmba ya arĩa aaganu ĩtũũraga na kĩrumi kĩa Jehova, no mũciĩ wa arĩa athingu nĩaũrathimaga.
[the] curse of Yahweh [is] on [the] house of [the] wicked and [the] habitation of righteous [people] he blesses.
34 Jehova nĩanyũrũragia andũ arĩa manyũrũranagia na mwĩtĩĩo, no arĩa menyiihagia nĩamaheaga wega wake.
Though mockers he he mocks (and to humble [people] *Q(K)*) he gives favor.
35 Andũ arĩa oogĩ magayaga gĩtĩĩo, no andũ arĩa akĩĩgu magayaga njono.
Honor wise [people] they will inherit and fools [is] lifting up shame.
