Mithali 24
1 Usiwaonee wivu watu waovu, usitamani ushirika nao;
not be jealous in/on/with human distress: evil and not (to desire *Q(k)*) to/for to be with them
2 kwa maana mioyo yao hupanga mambo ya jeuri, nayo midomo yao husema juu ya kuleta madhara.
for violence to mutter heart their and trouble lips their to speak: speak
3 Kwa hekima nyumba hujengwa, nayo kwa njia ya ufahamu huimarishwa
in/on/with wisdom to build house: home and in/on/with understanding to establish: establish
4 kwa njia ya maarifa vyumba vyake hujazwa vitu vya thamani na vya kupendeza.
and in/on/with knowledge chamber to fill all substance precious and pleasant
5 Mtu mwenye hekima ana uwezo mkubwa, naye mtu mwenye maarifa huongeza nguvu,
great man wise in/on/with strength and man knowledge to strengthen strength
6 kwa kufanya vita unahitaji uongozi na kwa ushindi washauri wengi.
for in/on/with counsel to make to/for you battle and deliverance: victory in/on/with abundance to advise
7 Hekima i juu mno kwa mpumbavu, katika kusanyiko langoni hana lolote la kusema.
to exalt to/for fool(ish) wisdom in/on/with gate not to open lip his
8 Yeye apangaye mabaya atajulikana kama mtu wa hila.
to devise: devise to/for be evil to/for him master: [master of] plot to call: call to
9 Mipango ya upumbavu ni dhambi, watu huchukizwa na mwenye dhihaka.
wickedness folly sin and abomination to/for man to mock
10 Ukikata tamaa wakati wa taabu, jinsi gani nguvu zako ni kidogo!
to slacken in/on/with day distress narrow strength your
11 Okoa wale wanaoongozwa kwenye kifo; wazuie wote wanaojikokota kuelekea machinjoni.
to rescue to take: take to/for death and to shake to/for slaughter if to withhold
12 Kama mkisema, “Lakini hatukujua lolote kuhusu hili,” je, yule apimaye mioyo halitambui hili? Je, yule awalindaye maisha yenu halijui hili? Je, hatamlipa kila mtu kulingana na aliyotenda?
for to say look! not to know this not to measure heart he/she/it to understand and to watch soul your he/she/it to know and to return: pay to/for man like/as work his
13 Ule asali mwanangu, kwa kuwa ni nzuri; asali kutoka kwenye sega ni tamu kwa kuonja.
to eat son: child my honey for pleasant and honey sweet upon palate your
14 Ujue pia kwamba hekima ni tamu kwa nafsi yako, kama ukiipata, kuna matumaini kwako ya siku zijazo, nalo tumaini lako halitakatiliwa mbali.
so to know [emph?] wisdom to/for soul your if to find and there end and hope your not to cut: eliminate
15 Usivizie kama haramia afanyavyo ili kuyashambulia makao ya mwenye haki, wala usiyavamie makazi yake,
not to ambush wicked to/for pasture righteous not to ruin rest his
16 Kwa maana ingawa mtu mwenye haki huanguka mara saba, huinuka tena, lakini waovu huangushwa chini na maafa.
for seven to fall: fall righteous and to arise: rise and wicked to stumble in/on/with distress: harm
17 Usitazame kwa kufurahia adui yako aangukapo; wakati ajikwaapo, usiruhusu moyo wako ushangilie.
in/on/with to fall: fall (enemy your *Q(K)*) not to rejoice and in/on/with to stumble he not to rejoice heart your
18 Bwana asije akaona na kuchukia akaiondoa ghadhabu yake mbali naye.
lest to see: see LORD and be evil in/on/with eye: appearance his and to return: turn back from upon him face: anger his
19 Usikasirike kwa sababu ya watu wabaya wala usiwaonee wivu waovu,
not to be incensed in/on/with be evil not be jealous in/on/with wicked
20 kwa maana mtu mbaya hana tumaini la siku zijazo, nayo taa ya waovu itazimwa.
for not to be end to/for bad: evil lamp wicked to put out
21 Mwanangu, mche Bwana na mfalme, wala usijiunge na waasi,
to fear: revere [obj] LORD son: child my and king with to change not to pledge
22 kwa maana hao wawili watatuma maangamizi ya ghafula juu yao, naye ni nani ajuaye maafa wawezayo kuleta?
for suddenly to arise: rise calamity their and disaster two their who? to know
23 Hii pia ni misemo ya wenye hekima: Kuonyesha upendeleo katika hukumu si vyema:
also these to/for wise to recognize face: kindness in/on/with justice: judgement not pleasant
24 Yeyote amwambiaye mwenye hatia, “Wewe huna hatia,” Kabila zitamlaani na mataifa yatamkana.
to say to/for wicked righteous you(m. s.) to curse him people be indignant him people
25 Bali itakuwa vyema kwa wale watakaowatia hatiani wenye hatia, nazo baraka tele zitawajilia juu yao.
and to/for to rebuke be pleasant and upon them to come (in): come blessing good
26 Jawabu la uaminifu ni kama busu la midomoni.
lips to kiss to return: reply word: speaking straightforward
27 Maliza kazi zako za nje, nawe uweke mashamba yako tayari, baada ya hayo, jenga nyumba yako.
to establish: prepare in/on/with outside work your and be ready her in/on/with land: country to/for you after and to build house: home your
28 Usishuhudie dhidi ya jirani yako bila sababu, au kutumia midomo yako kudanganya.
not to be witness for nothing in/on/with neighbor your and to open wide in/on/with lips your
29 Usiseme, “Nitamtenda kama alivyonitenda mimi; nitamlipiza mtu yule kwa kile alichonitendea.”
not to say like/as as which to make: do to/for me so to make: do to/for him to return: pay to/for man like/as work his
30 Nilipita karibu na shamba la mvivu, karibu na shamba la mizabibu la mtu asiye na akili,
upon land: country man sluggish to pass and upon vineyard man lacking heart
31 miiba ilikuwa imeota kila mahali, ardhi ilikuwa imefunikwa na magugu, na ukuta wa mawe ulikuwa umebomoka.
and behold to ascend: rise all his thorn to cover face: surface his nettle and wall stone his to overthrow
32 Nikatafakari moyoni mwangu lile nililoliona, nami nikajifunza somo kutokana na niliyoyaona:
and to see I to set: consider heart my to see: see to take: recieve discipline: instruction
33 Bado kulala kidogo, kusinzia kidogo, bado kukunja mikono kidogo upate kupumzika:
little sleep little slumber little folding hand to/for to lie down: sleep
34 hivyo umaskini utakuja juu yako kama mnyangʼanyi, na kupungukiwa kutakujia kama mtu mwenye silaha.
and to come (in): come to go: follow poverty your and need your like/as man shield
