[the] proverbs of Solomon [the] son of David [the] king of Israel.
2 Yaziwandiika okuyigiriza abantu okuba n’amagezi n’okuyiga, era n’okutegeera ebigambo eby’obulabufu; eby’obulamu eby’amagezi n’empisa.
To learn wisdom and discipline to teach words of understanding.
3 Sulemaani yayagala abantu okuba n’empisa, n’obulamu obw’amagezi, okukolanga ebituufu, n’okubeera abenkanya n’okugobereranga ensonga;
To receive correction of insight righteousness and justice and uprightness.
4 okuyigiriza amagezi abatalina bumanyirivu, n’abavubuka okufuna okumanya n’okutegeera.
To give to naive people prudence to a youth knowledge and discretion.
5 N’abantu ab’amagezi nabo bwe bawulira beeyongere okuyiga n’abategeevu beeyongere okubangulwa.
Let him listen a prudent [one] and let him increase insight and a discerning [one] wise directions let him get.
6 Era engero zino zaawandiikibwa okutegeera engero, enjogera n’ebikokyo.
To understand a proverb and an enigma [the] words of learned ones and parables their.
7 Kale mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera, naye abasirusiru banyooma amagezi n’okulagirirwa.
[the] fear of Yahweh [is the] beginning of knowledge wisdom and discipline fools they despise.
8 Mwana wange ossangayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro bya kitaawo, era tolekanga kukuutira kwa maama wo;
Listen to O son my [the] correction of father your and may not you reject [the] instruction of mother your.
9 bijja kuba ngule eneeweesanga omutwe gwo ekitiibwa, n’emikuufu mu bulago bwo.
For - [will be] a wreath of favor they for head your and necklaces for neck your.
10 Mwana wange abakozi b’ebibi bwe bakusendasendanga, tokkirizanga.
O son my if they will entice you sinners may not you be willing.
11 Bwe bakugambanga nti, “Tugende ffenna twesanyuse, tunyage, tubbe n’okutta; tokkirizanga;
If they will say come! with us let us lie in wait for blood let us lie hidden for an innocent [one] without cause.
12 ng’entaana bw’emira abantu, naffe tubamire tutyo nga bakyali balamu, era nga balamba, ng’abagenda mu bunnya obuwanvu; (Sheol h7585)
Let us engulf them like Sheol alive and complete like [those who] go down of [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
13 nga twefunira eby’obugagga bye tutakoleredde, ne tujjuza amayumba gaffe obugagga obubbe;
All wealth prized we will find we will fill houses our plunder.
14 ng’ababi batuyita tubeegatteko, tugabane kyenkanyi ebibbe n’ebinyage.”
Lot your you will cast in midst of us a bag one it will belong to all of us.
15 Mwana wange totambuliranga wamu nabo, era ekigere kyo kiziyize okukwatanga ekkubo lyabwe:
O son my may not you walk in [the] way with them restrain foot your from pathway their.
16 Kubanga ebigere byabwe bidduka bunnambiro okukola ebibi, era kibanguyira okuyiwa omusaayi.
For feet their to evil they run and they may make haste to shed blood.
17 Nga kuba kumala biseera okutega omutego, ng’ekinyonyi ky’oyagala okukwata kikulaba,
For in vain [is] spread out the net in [the] eyes of every owner of a wing.
18 naye abantu ng’abo baba beetega bokka, baba beetega omutego ogunaabakwasa bo bennyini.
And they for own blood their they lie in wait they lie hidden for own life their.
19 Bwe lityo bwe libeera ekkubo lya buli muntu anoonya okugaggawalira mu bukyamu. Obugagga obw’engeri eyo busaanyaawo obulamu bw’abo ababufuna.
[are] thus [the] paths of Every [one who] gains unjustly unjust gain [the] life of owners its it will take.
20 Amagezi galeekaanira waggulu mu nguudo; gayimusa amaloboozi gaago, mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu bibuga.
Wisdom in the street it cries aloud in the open places she gives voice her.
21 Ne galeekaanira waggulu, mu kifo enguudo ennene we zisisinkanira, era gasinzira mu miryango gy’ekibuga ne googera:
At [the] top of noisy [places] she calls out at [the] entrances of [the] gates in the city sayings her she utters.
22 Mulituusa ddi mmwe ab’amagezi amatono obutayagala kweyongera kuyiga by’amagezi, nammwe ab’amalala okunyoomanga eby’amagezi n’abasirusiru okukyawanga okumanya?
Until when? - O naive people will you love naivete and mockers mockery do they delight in? themselves and fools will they hate? knowledge.
23 Kale singa muwuliriza okunenya kwange, laba, ndifuka omutima gwange n’ebirowoozo byange mu mmwe.
You will turn back to rebuke my here! I will pour out to you spirit my let me declare words my you.
24 Kubanga na bayita ne mugaana okuwuliriza, ne ngolola omukono ne wataba n’omu afaayo,
Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
25 era ne mutafaayo ku magezi ge nabawa, era ne mugaana okubuulirira kwange kwonna,
And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
26 kale nange ndibasekerera nga muli mu nnaku, era mbakudaalire ng’entiisa ebagwiridde.
Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.
27 Entiisa bw’eribajjira ng’omuyaga omungi, ennaku n’okubonaabona, okulumwa n’obubalagaze,
When comes (like devastation *Q(K)*) dread your and calamity your like a storm-wind it will arrive when comes on you trouble and distress.
28 kale balinkoowoola, naye siriyitaba; balinnoonya obutaweera naye ne batandaba.
Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
29 Kubanga baakyawa okuyigirizibwa, n’okumanya, era ne bamalirira obutatya Mukama.
Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
30 Ne bagaana okuwuliriza amagezi gange; ne banyooma okunenya kwange kwonna.
Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
31 Kyebaliva balya ebibala eby’ekkubo lyabwe ebbi, era ne bajjula ebibala eby’enkwe zaabwe.
So they may eat from [the] fruit of way their and from own schemes their they will be surfeited.
32 Obusirusiru bulitta ab’amagezi amatono n’obutafaayo bulizikiriza abasirusiru,
For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
33 naye buli ampuliriza anaabeeranga mirembe, ng’agumye nga talina kutya kwonna.
And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
