Mithali 13
1 Mwana mwenye hekima husikia mafundisho ya baba yake, bali mwenye dhihaka hatasikiliza karipio.
A wijs sone is the teching of the fadir; but he that is a scornere, herith not, whanne he is repreuyd.
2 Mtu hufurahia vitu vizuri kutokana na matunda ya kinywa chake, bali hamu ya wadanganyifu ni jeuri.
A man schal be fillid with goodis of the fruit of his mouth; but the soule of vnpitouse men is wickid.
3 Yeye anayelinda kinywa chake huyalinda maisha, bali anayefumbua sana midomo yake atajiangamiza mwenyewe.
He that kepith his mouth, kepith his soule; but he that is vnwar to speke, schal feel yuels.
4 Hamu ya watu wavivu ni uchu lakini hawapati kitu, bali hamu ya watu wenye bidii hutoshelezwa sana.
A slow man wole, and wole not; but the soule of hem that worchen schal be maad fat.
5 Atendaye haki huchukia uongo, bali mtu mwovu hukinzana mwenyewe, na kufanya ya kuaibisha.
A iust man schal wlate a fals word; but a wickid man schendith, and schal be schent.
6 Wenye haki huwalinda wale ambao ni wakamilifu katika mapito yao, bali uovu huwaangusha wale watendao dhambi.
Riytfulnesse kepith the weie of an innocent man; but wickidnesse disseyueth a synnere.
7 Kuna mtu ambaye hujitajirisha mwenyewe, lakini hana chochote na kuna mtu ambaye hutoa kila kitu, bado ni tajiri kweli.
A man is as riche, whanne he hath no thing; and a man is as pore, whanne he is in many richessis.
8 Mtu tajiri anaweza kufidia maisha yake kwa mali zake, bali mtu masikini hatapokea kitisho cha aina hiyo.
Redempcioun of the soule of man is hise richessis; but he that is pore, suffrith not blamyng.
9 Mwanga wa mtu atendaye haki hufurahia, bali taa ya waovu itazimika.
The liyt of iust men makith glad; but the lanterne of wickid men schal be quenchid.
10 Kiburi huzaa mafarakano, bali kwa wale wasikiao shauri jema kuna hekima.
Stryues ben euere a mong proude men; but thei that don alle thingis with counsel, ben gouerned bi wisdom.
11 Penye majivuno mengi utajiri hufifia, bali yeye apataye pesa kwa kufanya kazi kwa mkono wake pesa zake zitaongezeka.
Hastid catel schal be maad lesse; but that that is gaderid litil and litil with hond, schal be multiplied.
12 Tumaini linapoachwa, huvunja moyo, bali kukamilishwa kwa shauku ni mti wa uzima.
Hope which is dilaied, turmentith the soule; a tre of lijf is desir comyng.
13 Yule ambaye anadharau fundisho bado atakuwa chini ya utawala wake, bali yeye ambaye anaheshimu amri atapewa thawabu.
He that bacbitith ony thing, byndith hym silf in to tyme to comynge; but he that dredith the comaundement, schal lyue in pees.
14 Mafundisho ya mtu mwenye hekima ni chemchemi ya uzima, yanakuondoa kutoka kwenye mitego ya mauti.
The lawe of a wise man is a welle of lijf; that he bowe awei fro the falling of deth.
15 Busara njema huleta fadhila, bali njia ya wadanganyifu haina mwisho.
Good teching schal yyue grace; a swolowe is in the weie of dispiseris.
16 Watu wenye busara hutenda kwa maarifa kwa kila uamuzi, bali mpumbavu huonyesha upuuzi wake.
A fel man doith alle thingis with counsel; but he that is a fool, schal opene foli.
17 Mjumbe mbaya huangukia kwenye shida, bali balozi mwaminifu huleta upatanisho.
The messanger of a wickid man schal falle in to yuel; a feithful messanger is helthe.
18 Yeye ambaye hupuuza kurudiwa atapata umasikini na aibu, bali heshima itamjia yeye ambaye hujifunza kutokana na masahihisho.
Nedynesse and schenschip is to him that forsakith techyng; but he that assentith to a blamere, schal be glorified.
19 Shauku iliyotambuliwa ni tamu kwa hamu, bali wapumbavu huchukia kuacha uovu.
Desir, if it is fillid, delitith the soule; foolis wlaten hem that fleen yuels.
20 Tembea pamoja na watu wenye hekima nawe utakuwa na hekima, bali rafiki wa wapumbavu atateseka.
He that goith with wijs men, schal be wijs; the freend of foolis schal be maad lijk hem.
21 Maafa huwakimbilia wenye dhambi, bali wale watendao haki hupewa thawabu kwa mema.
Yuel pursueth synneris; and goodis schulen be yoldun to iust men.
22 Mtu mwema huacha urithi kwa wajukuu wake, bali mali ya mwenye dhambi huwekwa akiba kwa yule atendaye haki.
A good man schal leeue aftir him eiris, sones, and the sones of sones; and the catel of a synnere is kept to a iust man.
23 Shamba la masikini lisilolimwa linaweza huzalisha chakula kingi, bali huchukuliwa kwa udhalimu.
Many meetis ben in the new tilid feeldis of fadris; and ben gaderid to othere men with out doom.
24 Yeye ambaye hamrudi mwanawe humchukia, bali yule anayempenda mwanawe humjali kwa kumwadibisha.
He that sparith the yerde, hatith his sone; but he that loueth him, techith bisili.
25 Yeye atendaye haki hula hadi kutosheleza hamu yake bali tumbo la mwovu linanjaa daima.
A iust man etith, and fillith his soule; but the wombe of wickid men is vnable to be fillid.
