1 Engero za Sulemaani: Omwana ow’amagezi asanyusa kitaawe; naye omwana omusirusiru anakuwaza nnyina.
The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son, maketh a glad father, but, a foolish son, is the grief of his mother.
2 Eby’obugagga ebifuniddwa mu makubo amakyamu tebirina kye bigasa, naye abatuukirivu banunulwa okuva mu kufa.
The treasures of lawlessness, do not profit, but, righteousness, delivereth from death.
3 Mukama taalekenga mutuukirivu we kufa njala, naye aziyiza abakozi b’ebibi okufuna bye beetaaga.
Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.
4 Emikono emigayaavu gyavuwaza, naye emikono eminyiikivu gireeta obugagga.
He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.
5 Omuvubuka ow’amagezi akungulira mu biseera ebituufu, naye oyo eyeebakira mu biro eby’okukunguliramu mwana aswaza ennyo.
He that gathereth in summer, is a prudent son, he that sleepeth long in harvest, is a son causing shame.
6 Omukisa gubeera ku mutwe gw’omutuukirivu, naye akamwa k’omukozi w’ebibi kajjula obukambwe.
Blessings, are for the head of the righteous man, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth up wrong.
7 Omutuukirivu anajjukirwanga n’essanyu, naye erinnya ly’omubi linaavundanga.
The memory of the righteous, yieldeth blessing, but, the name of the lawless, dieth out.
8 Alina omutima ogw’amagezi agondera ebiragiro, naye omusirusiru ayogerayogera, azikirizibwa.
The wise in heart, will accept commandments, but, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust away.

He that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow, and, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust aside.
11 Akamwa ak’omutuukirivu nsulo ya bulamu, naye akamwa k’omukozi w’ebibi kajjula bulabe.
A well-spring of life, is the mouth of the righteous, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth wrong.
12 Obukyayi buleeta enjawukana, naye okwagala kubikka ku bibi bingi.
Hatred, stirreth up strifes, but, over all transgressions, love throweth a covering.
13 Amagezi gasangibwa ku mimwa gy’oyo alina okutegeera, naye omuggo gukangavvula oyo atamanyi kusalawo bulungi.
In the lips of the intelligent, is found wisdom, but, a rod, is for the back of him that lacketh sense.
14 Abantu ab’amagezi batereka okumanya, naye akamwa k’omusirusiru kaaniriza kuzikirira.
Wise men, treasure up knowledge, but, the mouth of the foolish, is a terror near at hand.
15 Obugagga bw’omugagga kye kibuga kye ekiriko ebigo, naye obwavu kwe kuzikirira kw’omwavu.
The substance of the rich, is his strong city, the terror of the poor, is their poverty.
16 Empeera y’omutuukirivu bulamu, naye empeera y’omukozi w’ebibi emuleetera kubonerezebwa.
The labour of the righteous, [leadeth] to life, the increase of the lawless, to sin.
17 Oyo assaayo omwoyo eri okubuulirirwa aba mu kkubo ery’obulamu, naye oyo atassaayo mwoyo ku kunenyezebwa aleetera abalala okuwaba.
On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.
18 Oyo akisa obukyayi alina emimwa egirimba, era omuntu akonjera, musirusiru.
He that concealeth hatred, hath false lips, and he that sendeth forth slander, the same, is a dullard.
19 Mu bigambo ebingi temubula kwonoona, naye akuuma olulimi lwe aba wa magezi.
In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.
20 Olulimi lw’omutuukirivu ffeeza ya muwendo, naye omutima gw’omukozi w’ebibi gugasa katono.
Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.

22 Omukisa gwa Mukama guleeta obugagga era tagwongerako buyinike.
The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.
23 Omusirusiru asanyukira okukola ebibi, naye omuntu alina okutegeera asanyukira eby’amagezi.
It is, mere sport to a stupid man, to commit lewdness, but, wisdom, pertaineth to a man of understanding.
24 Omukozi w’ebibi ky’atayagala kirimutuukako, naye abatuukirivu bye baagala biribaweebwa.
The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.
25 Embuyaga bw’ejja, abakozi b’ebibi batwalibwa, naye abatuukirivu banywera emirembe gyonna.
Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, [hath] an age-abiding foundation.
26 Ng’omususa bwe gunyeenyeza amannyo, n’omukka nga bwe gubalagala mu maaso, n’omugayaavu bw’abeera bw’atyo eri abamutuma.
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so, is the sluggard, to them who send him.

The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.
31 Akamwa k’omutuukirivu koogera eby’amagezi, naye olulimi olwogera eby’obubambavu lulisalibwamu.
The mouth of the righteous, beareth the fruit of wisdom, but, a perverse tongue, shall be cut off.
32 Emimwa gy’omutuukirivu gyogera ebisaanidde; naye emimwa gy’omukozi w’ebibi gyogera eby’obubambavu.
The lips of the righteous, know what is pleasing, but, the mouth of the lawless, [speaketh] perversities.
