< Izaga 11 >
1 Isikali esikhohlisayo siyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa ilitshe lokulinganisa elipheleleyo liyintokozo yayo.
A gileful balaunce is abhominacioun anentis God; and an euene weiyte is his wille.
2 Nxa kufika ukuzigqaja, kufika lehlazo; kodwa kwabathobekileyo kukhona inhlakanipho.
Where pride is, there also dispising schal be; but where meeknesse is, there also is wisdom.
3 Ubuqotho babaqotho buzabaqondisa, kodwa ukuphambeka kwabaphambekayo kuzababhubhisa.
The simplenesse of iust men schal dresse hem; and the disseyuyng of weiward men schal destrie hem.
4 Inotho kayisizi ngosuku lolaka, kodwa ukulunga kophula ekufeni.
Richessis schulen not profite in the dai of veniaunce; but riytfulnesse schal delyuere fro deth.
5 Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuzaqondisa indlela yakhe, kodwa okhohlakeleyo uzakuwa ngenkohlakalo yakhe.
The riytfulnesse of a simple man schal dresse his weie; and a wickid man schal falle in his wickidnesse.
6 Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuzabophula, kodwa abaphambukayo bazathunjwa zinkanuko zabo.
The riytfulnesse of riytful men schal delyuere hem; and wickid men schulen be takun in her aspiyngis.
7 Nxa umuntu okhohlakeleyo esifa, ithemba lakhe lizabhubha, lethemba lolamandla liyabhubha.
Whanne a wickid man is deed, noon hope schal be ferther; and abidyng of bisy men schal perische.
8 Olungileyo ukhululwa ekuhluphekeni, kodwa omubi ungena endaweni yakhe.
A iust man is delyuered from angwisch; and a wickid man schal be youun for hym.
9 Ngomlomo umzenzisi uchitha umakhelwane wakhe, kodwa ngolwazi abalungileyo bayakhululwa.
A feynere bi mouth disseyueth his freend; but iust men schulen be deliuered bi kunnyng.
10 Ngempumelelo yabalungileyo umuzi uyathokoza; lekubhubheni kwabakhohlakeleyo kulenjabulo.
A citee schal be enhaunsid in the goodis of iust men; and preysyng schal be in the perdicioun of wickid men.
11 Ngesibusiso sabaqotho umuzi uyaphakanyiswa, kodwa ngomlomo wabakhohlakeleyo uyachitheka.
A citee schal be enhaunsid bi blessing of iust men; and it schal be distried bi the mouth of wickid men.
12 Oswela ingqondo udelela umakhelwane, kodwa umuntu oqedisisayo uyazithulela.
He that dispisith his freend, is nedi in herte; but a prudent man schal be stille.
13 Ohamba enyeya wembula imfihlakalo, kodwa othembekileyo ngomoya ufihla udaba.
He that goith gilefuli, schewith priuetees; but he that is feithful, helith the priuetee of a freend.
14 Lapho kungekho izeluleko abantu bayawa; kodwa ukukhululwa kusebunengini babeluleki.
Where a gouernour is not, the puple schal falle; but helthe `of the puple is, where ben many counsels.
15 Oba yisibambiso sowezizwe uzahlupheka ngokubi; kodwa ozonda ukutshaya izandla uvikelekile.
He that makith feith for a straunger, schal be turmentid with yuel; but he that eschewith snaris, schal be sikur.
16 Owesifazana olomusa ubamba udumo, labalamandla babamba inotho.
A graciouse womman schal fynde glorie; and stronge men schulen haue richessis.
17 Umuntu olomusa wenzela umphefumulo wakhe okuhle, kodwa olesihluku ukhathaza inyama yakhe.
A merciful man doith wel to his soule; but he that is cruel, castith awei, yhe, kynnesmen.
18 Okhohlakeleyo wenza umsebenzi wenkohliso, kodwa ohlanyela ukulunga ulomvuzo weqiniso.
A wickid man makith vnstable werk; but feithful mede is to hym, that sowith riytfulnesse.
19 Njengoba ukulunga kungokwempilo, kunjalo ozingela okubi kungokokufa kwakhe.
Merci schal make redi lijf; and the suyng of yuels `schal make redi deth.
20 Abaphambeneyo ngenhliziyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa abaqotho ngendlela bayintokozo yayo.
A schrewid herte is abhomynable to the Lord; and his wille is in hem, that goen symply.
21 Isandla esandleni omubi kayikuyekelwa ukujeziswa, kodwa inzalo yabalungileyo izaphepha.
Thouy hond be in the hond, an yuel man schal not be innocent; but the seed of iust men schal be sauyd.
22 Ulisongo legolide empumulweni yengulube owesifazana obukekayo ophambuka engqondweni.
A goldun `sercle, ether ryng, in the `nose thrillis of a sowe, a womman fair and fool.
23 Isifiso sabalungileyo singokuhle kuphela; ithemba labakhohlakeleyo lulaka.
The desir of iust men is al good; abiding of wickid men is woodnesse.
24 Kukhona ohlakazayo, kube kanti okunengi kuyengezwa; logodla okwedlula okufaneleyo, kodwa kungokokuswela.
Sum men departen her owne thingis, and ben maad richere; other men rauyschen thingis, that ben not hern, and ben euere in nedynesse.
25 Umphefumulo obusisayo uzakhuluphaliswa, lothelelayo uzathelelwa laye.
A soule that blessith, schal be maad fat; and he that fillith, schal be fillid also.
26 Ogodla amabele, abantu bazamqalekisa; kodwa isibusiso sizakuba phezu kwekhanda lothengisayo.
He that hidith wheete `in tyme, schal be cursid among the puplis; but blessyng schal come on the heed of silleris.
27 Odingisisa okuhle, udinga umusa; kodwa odinga okubi, kuzakuza kuye.
Wel he risith eerli, that sekith good thingis; but he that is a serchere of yuels, schal be oppressid of tho.
28 Othemba inotho yakhe yena uzakuwa, kodwa abalungileyo bazahluma njengamahlamvu.
He that tristith in hise richessis, schal falle; but iust men schulen buriowne as a greene leef.
29 Oletha inkathazo emzini wakhe uzakudla ilifa lomoya, lesithutha sizakuba yinceku yohlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo.
He that disturblith his hows, schal haue wyndis in possessioun; and he that is a fool, schal serue a wijs man.
30 Isithelo solungileyo siyisihlahla sempilo, lozuza imiphefumulo uhlakaniphile.
The fruyt of a riytful man is the tre of lijf; and he that takith soulis, is a wijs man.
31 Khangela, olungileyo uzavuzwa emhlabeni; kakhulu kangakanani omubi lesoni!
If a iust man receyueth in erthe, how miche more an vnfeithful man, and synnere.
