Thimo 30
1 Ĩno nĩyo mĩario ya Aguri mũrũ wa Jake, na nĩ ndũmĩrĩri nditũ: Mũndũ ũcio eerire Ithieli, akĩĩra Ithieli na Ukali atĩrĩ:
The wordis of hym that gaderith, of the sone spuynge. The prophesie which a man spak, with whom God was, and which man was coumfortid bi God dwellyng with hym,
2 “Niĩ ndĩ mũndũ mũriitu gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ; ndirĩ na ũtaũku ta wa mũndũ.
and seide, Y am the moost fool of men; and the wisdom of men is not with me.
3 Ndiĩrutĩte kũgĩa na ũũgĩ, o na kana ngamenya Ũrĩa Mũtheru.
Y lernede not wisdom; and Y knew not the kunnyng of hooli men.
4 Nũũ wanambata igũrũ na agacooka agaikũrũka gũkũ thĩ? Nũũ wanacookereria rũhuho ngundi-inĩ ciake? Maaĩ namo-rĩ, nũũ ũrĩ wamoohania na nguo yake ya igũrũ? Nũũ wahaandire ituri ciothe cia thĩ? Etagwo atĩa, nake mũriũ etagwo atĩa? Akorwo nĩũũĩ-rĩ, ndũkĩnjĩĩre!
Who stiede in to heuene, and cam doun? Who helde togidere the spirit in hise hondis? who bonde togidere watris as in a cloth? Who reiside alle the endis of erthe? What is name of hym? and what is the name of his sone, if thou knowist?
5 “Kiugo gĩothe kĩa Ngai gĩtirĩ mahĩtia; nĩwe ngo ya arĩa moragĩra harĩ we.
Ech word of God is a scheld set a fiere, to alle that hopen in hym.
6 Ndũkanongerere ciugo ciake, ndakae gũkũrũithia wonekane ũrĩ wa maheeni.
Adde thou not ony thing to the wordis of hym, and thou be repreued, and be foundun a liere.
7 “Nĩngũkũhooya maũndũ meerĩ, Wee Jehova; ndũkanarege kũhe mo mbere ya ngue:
I preiede thee twei thingis; denye not thou to me, bifor that Y die.
8 Atĩrĩrĩ, njehereria maũndũ matarĩ ma ma, na ma maheeni, cindaihĩrĩrie mũno; ningĩ ndũkaahe ũthĩĩni kana ũtonga, no ũũheage irio cia o mũthenya.
Make thou fer fro me vanyte and wordis of leesyng; yyue thou not to me beggery and richessis; yyue thou oneli necessaries to my lijflode;
9 Ndikaagĩe na indo nyingĩ mũno, ngũkaane, njũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nũũ?’ Kana thĩĩne mũno, njiye, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmenererie rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wakwa.
lest perauenture Y be fillid, and be drawun to denye, and seie, Who is the Lord? and lest Y compellid bi nedynesse, stele, and forswere the name of my God.
10 “Ndũgacambie ndungata kũrĩ mũnene wayo, ndĩgagĩkũrume, nawe ũrĩhio ũũru ũcio.
Accuse thou not a seruaunt to his lord, lest perauenture he curse thee, and thou falle doun.
11 “Nĩ kũrĩ andũ marumaga maithe mao o na matangĩrathima manyina mao;
A generacioun that cursith his fadir, and that blessith not his modir.
12 kũrĩ andũ arĩa meyonaga marĩ atheru maitho-inĩ mao, o rĩrĩa matathambĩtio gĩko kĩao;
A generacioun that semeth cleene to it silf, and netheles is not waischun fro hise filthis.
13 nĩ arĩa marĩ maitho ma mwĩtĩĩo, o arĩa maroraga andũ manyiira;
A generacioun whose iyen ben hiy, and the iye liddis therof ben reisid in to hiy thingis.
14 nĩo arĩa magego mao mahaana ta hiũ cia njora, na ngambucu ciao ihaana ta tũhiũ twa gũtambuura arĩa athĩĩni, mahuke thĩ, na arĩa abatari, mathire andũ-inĩ.
A generacioun that hath swerdis for teeth, and etith with hise wank teeth; that it ete nedi men of erthe, and the porails of men.
15 “Thambara ĩrĩ airĩtu eerĩ. Matitigithagĩria kuuga, ‘Tũhei! Tũhei!’ “Kũrĩ indo ithatũ itarĩ hĩndĩ ihũũnaga, o na nĩ inya itarĩ hĩndĩ ingiuga, ‘Nĩndaigania!’
The watir leche hath twei douytris, seiynge, Brynge, bringe. Thre thingis ben vnable to be fillid, and the fourthe, that seith neuere, It suffisith;
16 Nacio nĩ mbĩrĩra, na nda thaata, na thĩ tondũ ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩiganagia maaĩ, na mwaki tondũ ndũrĩ hĩndĩ uugaga, ‘Nĩndaigania!’ (Sheol h7585)
helle, and the mouth of the wombe, and the erthe which is neuere fillid with water; but fier seith neuere, It suffisith. (Sheol h7585)
17 “Riitho rĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũnyũrũragia ithe, na akarurũka kũiguaga nyina, rĩgaakũũrwo nĩ mahuru ma kĩanda-inĩ, na rĩkaarĩĩo nĩ nderi.
Crowis of the stronde picke out thilke iye, that scorneth the fadir, and that dispisith the child beryng of his modir; and the briddis of an egle ete that iye.
18 “Kũrĩ maũndũ matatũ mangegagia mũno makĩria, o na nĩ mana marĩa niĩ itakuũkagĩrwo nĩmo:
Thre thingis ben hard to me, and outirli Y knowe not the fourthe thing;
19 namo nĩ mũthiĩre wa nderi rĩera-inĩ, na mũthiĩre wa nyoka rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, na mũthiĩre wa marikabu ĩrĩ iria-inĩ gatagatĩ, na mũthiĩre wa mũndũ makĩendana na mũirĩtu.
the weye of an egle in heuene, the weie of a serpent on a stoon, the weie of a schip in the myddil of the see, and the weie of a man in yong wexynge age.
20 “Ũyũ nĩguo mũthiĩre wa mũndũ-wa-nja mũtharia: Arĩĩaga na akehuura mĩromo, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndirĩ ũndũ mũũru njĩkĩte.’
Siche is the weie of a womman auowtresse, which etith, and wipith hir mouth, and seith, Y wrouyte not yuel.
21 “Kũrĩ maũndũ matatũ matũmaga thĩ ĩthingithe, o na nĩ mana ĩtangĩĩtiiria:
The erthe is moued bi thre thingis, and the fourthe thing, which it may not susteyne;
22 namo nĩ ndungata ĩtuĩkĩte mũthamaki, na mũndũ mũkĩĩgu ahũũnĩte irio,
bi a seruaunt, whanne he regneth; bi a fool, whanne he is fillid with mete;
23 na mũndũ-wa-nja ũtangĩendeka ahikĩte, na ndungata ya mũirĩtu ĩtuĩkĩte mũtumia wa mũthuuri wa mũmĩathi.
bi an hateful womman, whanne sche is takun in matrymonye; and bi an handmaide, whanne sche is eir of hir ladi.
24 “Nĩ kũrĩ nyamũ inya nini gũkũ thĩ, no nĩ njũgĩ mũno:
Foure ben the leeste thingis of erthe, and tho ben wisere than wise men;
25 Thigiriri-rĩ, nĩ ciũmbe itarĩ hinya, no nĩciĩigagĩra mũthiithũ wa irio hĩndĩ ya riũa;
amtis, a feble puple, that maken redi mete in heruest to hem silf;
26 ikami nĩ ciũmbe itarĩ ũhoti, no nĩciĩthondekagĩra ciikaro ciacio ndwaro-inĩ cia mahiga;
a hare, a puple vnmyyti, that settith his bed in a stoon;
27 ngigĩ itirĩ mũthamaki wacio, no nĩitwaranaga hamwe irĩ mbũtũ;
a locust hath no kyng, and al goith out bi cumpanyes; an euete enforsith with hondis,
28 njagathi no inyiitwo na rũhĩ, no ĩtũũraga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba cia athamaki.
and dwellith in the housis of kingis.
29 “Kũrĩ indo ithatũ irĩ mũkinyũkĩrie mũgaacĩru, o na nĩ inya ngaacĩru rĩrĩa igũthiĩ:
Thre thingis ben, that goon wel, and the fourthe thing, that goith richeli.
30 nĩ mũrũũthi, arĩ guo ũrĩ hinya mũno gatagatĩ ka nyamũ iria ingĩ ciothe, na ndũngĩeherera nyamũ ĩrĩkũ kana ĩrĩkũ njĩra;
A lioun, strongeste of beestis, schal not drede at the meetyng of ony man;
31 nĩ njamba ya ngũkũ ĩrĩa ĩkinyũkagia na nguthi, na thenge, na mũthamaki mũthiũrũrũkĩrie nĩ mbũtũ ciake cia ita.
a cok gird the leendis, and a ram, and noon is that schal ayenstonde him.
32 “Angĩkorwo nĩwĩtuĩte mũndũ mũkĩĩgu, na ũgetũũgĩria, kana ũkorwo nĩũthugundĩte gwĩka ũũru-rĩ, humbĩra kanua gaku na rũhĩ!
He that apperith a fool, aftir that he is reisid an hiy; for if he hadde vndurstonde, he hadde sett hond on his mouth.
33 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa iria rĩthũcagwo, rĩkoima thiagĩ, na o ta ũrĩa iniũrũ rĩthioragwo rĩkoira thakame-rĩ, ũguo noguo gũthogotha marakara kũrehaga ngũĩ.”
Forsothe he that thristith strongli teetis, to drawe out mylk, thristith out botere; and he that smytith greetli, drawith out blood; and he that stirith iris, bringith forth discordis.
