Thimo 5
1 Mũrũ wakwa, thikĩrĩria ũũgĩ ũyũ wakwa, tega gũtũ wega ũigue ciugo ciakwa cia ũtaũku,
O son my to wisdom my be attentive! to understanding my incline ear your.
2 nĩguo ũtũũrie ũbaarĩrĩri, nayo mĩromo yaku ĩtũũrie ũmenyo.
To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.
3 Nĩgũkorwo mĩromo ya mũtumia mũtharia itaataga ũũkĩ, na mĩario yake ĩnyorokete gũkĩra maguta;
For honey they drip [the] lips of a strange [woman] and [is] smooth more than oil mouth her.
4 no marigĩrĩrio nĩmũrũrũ ta maaĩ ma nyongo, nĩ mũũgĩ ta rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩa rũũgĩ mbarĩ cierĩ.
And end her [is] bitter like wormwood sharp like a sword of mouths.
Feet her [are] going down death Sheol steps her they will attain. (Sheol h7585)
6 Ndeciiragia ũhoro wa njĩra ya muoyo; njĩra ciake nĩ njogomu, nowe ndooĩ ũguo.
[the] path of Life lest she should make level they wander tracks her not she knows.
7 Atĩrĩrĩ, ariũ akwa, ta thikĩrĩriai; mũtikanatiganĩrie ũrĩa ngũmwĩra.
And therefore O children listen to me and may not you depart from [the] utterances of mouth my.
8 Thiiagĩrai njĩra ĩrĩ kũraya nake, mũtigakuhĩrĩrie mũrango wa nyũmba yake,
Make far away from with her way your and may not you draw near to [the] entrance of house her.
9 nĩguo mũtikaheane hinya wanyu mwega kũrĩ andũ angĩ, na mĩaka yanyu kũrĩ mũndũ ũtarĩ tha,
Lest you should give to others vigor your and years your to a cruel [person].
10 nĩguo ageni matikehũũnie na ũtonga wanyu, na kĩrĩa ũnogeire gĩtongie mũciĩ wa mũndũ wa kũngĩ.
Lest they should be satisfied strangers strength your and labor your [be] in [the] house of a foreigner.
11 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ ma muoyo waku nĩũgacaaya, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa nyama cia mwĩrĩ waku na mwĩrĩ waku igaakorwo ithirĩte hinya.
And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.
12 Ũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, kaĩ nĩndathũũrire gũtaarwo-ĩ! Hĩ, kaĩ ngoro yakwa nĩyamenete kũrũithio-ĩ!
And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.
13 Ndingĩathĩkĩire arutani akwa, kana thikĩrĩrie ataarani akwa.
And not I listened to [the] voice of instructor my and to teachers my not I inclined ear my.
14 Nĩnginyĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia mwanangĩko, ndĩ o gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩũngano gĩothe.”
Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.
15 Atĩrĩrĩ, nyuuaga maaĩ ma itangi rĩaku we mwene, maaĩ marĩa mathereraga moimĩte gĩthima-inĩ gĩaku mwene.
Drink water from own cistern your and streams from [the] midst of own well your.
16 Nĩ kwagĩrĩire ithima ciaku ciunagĩre maaĩ barabara-inĩ, kana tũrũũĩ twaku tuunagĩre ihaaro-inĩ cia mũingĩ?
Will they overflow? springs your [the] outside towards in the open places streams of water.
17 Nĩmagĩtũũre marĩ maku wiki, matigatuĩke maku na mũndũ wa kũngĩ o na rĩ.
Let them belong to you to alone you and not to strangers with you.
18 Gĩthima gĩaku kĩrorathimwo, nawe ũkenagĩre mũtumia wa ũnini waku.
May it be spring your blessed and rejoice from [the] wife of youth your.
19 Athakarĩte ta thwariga ya mũgoma, akaagĩra ta gathiiya ka mũgoma: kĩiganagwo nĩ nyondo ciake hĩndĩ ciothe, ũkenagio nĩ wendo wake hĩndĩ ciothe.
A doe of loves and a goat of grace breasts her may they satisfy you at every time by love her may you be intoxicated continually.
20 Mũrũ wakwa, nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma ũkenio nĩ mũtumia mũtharia? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma ũhĩmbĩrie gĩthũri kĩa mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ?
And why? will you go astray O son my with a strange [woman] may you embrace? [the] bosom of a foreign [woman].
21 Nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre ya mũndũ nĩyonagwo nĩ Jehova, nake nĩatuĩragia njĩra ciake ciothe.
For before - [the] eyes of Yahweh [the] ways of a person and all tracks his [he is] making level.
22 Ciĩko njũru cia mũndũ mwaganu nĩcio imũtegaga; nga cia mehia make nĩcio imuohaga, ikamũrũmia biũ.
Iniquities his they will seize him the wicked [person] and by [the] cords of sin his he will be held.
23 Mũndũ ũcio nĩagaakua nĩ kwaga ũtaaro, akoora nĩ ũndũ wa ũrimũ wake mũnene.
He he will die for not discipline and in [the] greatness of foolishness his he will go astray.
