Engero 13
1 Omwana omugezi assaayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro bya kitaawe, naye omunyoomi tafaayo ku kunenyezebwa.
A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
2 Omuntu asanyuka olw’ebirungi ebiva mu bibala bya kamwa ke, naye atali mwesigwa yeegomba kuleeta ntalo.
A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
3 Oyo eyeegendereza by’ayogera akuuma obulamu bwe, naye oyo amala googera, alizikirira.
Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
4 Omuntu omugayaavu yeegomba kyokka n’atabaako ky’afuna, naye omunyiikivu byayagala byonna abifuna.
The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
5 Omuntu omutuukirivu akyawa obulimba, naye omukozi w’ebibi yeereetera kunyoomebwa.
A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
6 Obutuukirivu bukuuma omuntu omwesimbu, naye okukola ebibi kuzikiriza omwonoonyi.
Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
7 Omuntu omu ayinza okwefuula omugagga ate nga taliiko ky’alina, ate omulala ne yeefuula okuba omwavu so nga mugagga nnyo.
There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
8 Obugagga bw’omuntu buyinza okumununula, naye omwavu talina ky’atya.
A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
9 Ekitangaala ky’abatuukirivu kyaka nnyo, naye ettaala y’abakozi b’ebibi ezikira.
The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Amalala gazaala buzaazi nnyombo, naye amagezi gasangibwa mu abo abakkiriza okulabulwa.
Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
11 Ensimbi enkumpanye ziggwaawo, naye ezijja empolampola zeeyongera obungi.
The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
12 Essuubi erirwawo okutuukirira lirwaza omutima, naye ekyegombebwa bwe kituukirira kiba muti gwa bulamu.
The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
13 Omuntu anyooma ebiragiro aligwa mu mitawaana, naye oyo awuliriza ebimulagirwa aliweebwa empeera.
He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
14 Okuyigiriza kw’omuntu alina amagezi nsulo ya bulamu, era kuggya omuntu mu mitego gy’okufa.
The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
15 Okutegeera okulungi kuleeta okuganja, naye ekkubo ly’abateesigibwa liba zzibu.
Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
16 Omuntu omwegendereza akola amaze kulowooza, naye omusirusiru alaga obutamanya bwe.
Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
17 Omubaka omubi yeesuula mu mitawaana, naye omubaka omwesigwa aleeta kuwonyezebwa.
A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
18 Anyooma okukangavvulwa yeereetako obwavu n’obuswavu, naye oyo assaayo omwoyo ku kunenyezebwa aweebwa ekitiibwa.
Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
19 Ekyegombebwa bwe kituukirira kisanyusa omutima, naye okulekayo okukola ebibi kya muzizo eri abasirusiru.
A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
20 Oyo atambula n’abantu abagezi ageziwala, naye oyo atambula n’abasirusiru alaba ennaku.
He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
21 Emitawaana gigoberera aboonoonyi, naye okukulaakulana y’empeera y’abatuukirivu.
Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
22 Omuntu omulungi alekera bazzukulu be ebyobusika, naye obugagga bw’omwonoonyi buterekerwa omutuukirivu.
The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
23 Ennimiro z’abaavu ziyinza okuvaamu emmere nnyingi, naye obutali bwenkanya ne bugyera yonna.
Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
24 Atakozesa kaggo akyawa omwana we, naye oyo amwagala afaayo okumukangavvula.
He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
25 Omutuukirivu alya emmere ye n’akkuta, naye abakozi b’ebibi basigala nga bayala.
The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
