Engero 11
1 Minzaani eteri ya mazima ya muzizo eri Mukama, naye ebipimo ebituufu bye bimusanyusa.
False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
2 Amalala bwe gajja, ng’obuswavu butuuse, naye obwetoowaze buleeta amagezi.
When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
3 Obwesimbu bw’abatuukirivu bubaluŋŋamya, naye enkwe z’abatali beesigwa zibazikirizisa.
The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
4 Obugagga tebugasa ku lunaku olw’okusalirwako omusango, naye obutuukirivu buwonya okufa.
Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
5 Obutuukirivu bw’abalongoofu bubatambuliza mu kkubo eggolokofu naye abakozi b’ebibi bagwa olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebibi.
The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
6 Obutuukirivu bw’abagolokofu bubawonya, naye abatali beesigwa bagwa mu mutego olw’okwegomba ebibi.
The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
7 Omukozi w’ebibi bw’afa, essuubi lye libula, ne byonna bye yasuubira mu maanyi bikoma.
When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
8 Omutuukirivu aggyibwa mu mitawaana, naye jjijjira omukozi w’ebibi.
The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
9 Akamwa k’oyo atatya Katonda, kazikiriza muliraanwa, naye olw’okumanya, abatuukirivu bawona.
An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
10 Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana ekibuga kijaguza; abakozi b’ebibi bwe bazikirira wawulirwawo amaloboozi ag’essanyu.
In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
11 Omukisa gw’abatuukirivu gukulaakulanya ekibuga: naye olw’akamwa k’abakozi b’ebibi, ekibuga kizikirizibwa.
By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
12 Omuntu atalina magezi anyooma muliraanwa we, naye omuntu ategeera akuuma olulimi lwe.
He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
13 Aseetula olugambo atta obwesigwa, naye omuntu omwesigwa akuuma ekyama.
Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
14 Awatali kuluŋŋamizibwa eggwanga lidobonkana, naye abawi b’amagezi abangi baleeta obuwanguzi.
Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
15 Eyeeyimirira omuntu gw’atamanyiko alibonaabona, naye oyo akyawa okweyimirira aliba bulungi.
Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
16 Omukazi ow’ekisa aweebwa ekitiibwa, naye abasajja ab’amawaggali bakoma ku bugagga bwokka.
A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
17 Omusajja alina ekisa aganyulwa, naye alina ettima yeereetako akabi.
Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
18 Omukozi w’ebibi afuna empeera ey’obukuusa, naye oyo asiga eby’obutuukirivu akungula empeera eya nnama ddala.
The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
19 Omuntu omutuukirivu ddala alifuna obulamu, naye oyo akola ebitali bya butuukirivu alifa.
As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
20 Mukama akyawa abantu abalina emitima emikyamu, naye ab’amakubo amagolokofu be bamusanyusa.
They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
21 Mutegeerere ddala ng’abakozi b’ebibi tebalirema kubonerezebwa, naye bazzukulu b’abatuukirivu tebalibaako musango.
Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
22 Ng’empeta ya zaabu mu nnyindo y’embizzi, bw’atyo bw’abeera omukazi omulungi atalaba njawulo wakati w’ekirungi n’ekibi.
As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
23 Abatuukirivu bye beegomba bivaamu birungi byereere, naye abakozi b’ebibi bye bakola bisunguwaza.
The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
24 Omuntu agaba obuteerekereza, yeeyongera bweyongezi kugaggawala; naye akwatirira kye yandigabye, yeeyongera kwavuwala.
There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
25 Omuntu agaba anagaggawalanga, n’oyo ayamba talibulako amuyamba.
The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
26 Abantu bakolimira oyo akweka eŋŋaano mu kiseera eky’obwetaavu, naye oyo agitunda mu kiseera ekyo afuna emikisa.
He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
27 Oyo anyiikira okukola obulungi afuna okuganja, naye oyo anoonya ekibi, kimujjira.
He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
28 Oyo eyeesiga obugagga bwe aligwa, naye abatuukirivu banaakulaakulananga ne baba ng’amalagala amalamu.
He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
29 Omuntu aleeta emitawaana mu maka g’ewaabwe, alisikira mpewo; era n’omusirusiru aliba muddu w’oyo alina omutima ogw’amagezi.
He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
30 Ekibala ky’omutuukirivu muti gwa bulamu, era n’oyo asikiriza emyoyo gy’abantu ne balokoka wa magezi.
The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
31 Obanga omutuukirivu alifuna ekimusaanidde ku nsi kuno, oyo atatya Katonda n’omwonoonyi balirema obutafuna ekibasaanidde?
Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
