Proverbs 29
1 The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
Omuntu akakanyaza omutima gwe oluvannyuma lw’okunenyezebwa emirundi emingi, alizikirira ng’atamanyiridde awatali kuwona.
2 When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
Abatuukirivu bwe bakulaakulana, abantu basanyuka, naye abakakanyalira mu kukola ebikyamu bwe bafuga abantu babeera mu kusinda.
3 A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.
Ayagala amagezi asanyusa kitaawe, naye munne w’abamalaaya ayiwaayiwa obugagga bwe.
4 A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
Kabaka afuga n’obwenkanya, abantu be baba mu butebenkevu, naye oyo alulunkanira enguzi, ensi agyonoona.
5 A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.
Omuntu awaanawaana munne, aba yeetega yekka ekitimba.
6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
Ebibi by’omwonoonyi bye bimutega, naye omutuukirivu abeera mu kuyimba na kusanyuka.
7 The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.
Omutuukirivu afaayo ku nsonga z’abaavu, naye abakozi b’ebibi tebakola bwe batyo.
8 Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
Abakudaazi basasamaza ekibuga, naye abantu abalina amagezi baziyiza entalo.
9 If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.
Omuntu ow’amagezi bw’awoza n’omusirusiru, omusirusiru ayongera kusunguwala, n’okujerega ne wataba mirembe.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.
Abeegomba okuyiwa omusaayi bakyawa omuntu ow’amazima, era banoonya okusaanyaawo obulamu bwe.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
Omusirusiru alaga obusungu bwe bwonna, naye omuntu ow’amagezi abuziyiza n’abukkakkanya.
12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
Omufuzi bw’awuliriza eby’obulimba, abakungu be bonna bafuuka babi.
13 The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
Omwavu n’oyo amubonyaabonya balina ekibagatta: Mukama bombi ye yabawa amaaso.
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
Kabaka bw’asalira abaavu emisango n’obwesigwa, obufuzi bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
Akaggo akakangavvula, kaleeta amagezi, naye omwana alekeddwa awo, aswaza nnyina.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
Abakozi b’ebibi bwe beeyongera obungi, okumenya amateeka kweyongera, naye abatuukirivu baliraba okugwa kwabwe.
17 Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
Kangavvula omwana wo, alikuwa emirembe, alireetera emmeeme yo essanyu.
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
Awatali kwolesebwa abantu tebaba beegendereza, naye wa mukisa oyo akuuma amateeka ga Mukama.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
Omuweereza tayinza kubuulirirwa na bigambo byokka; ne bw’aba ategedde tafaayo.
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
Olaba omuntu ayanguyiriza ebigambo bye? Omusirusiru alina essuubi okumusinga.
21 He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
Atiitiibya omuweereza we ekiyitiridde ng’akyali mwana muto, oluvannyuma omuweereza aleetera mukama we obuyinike.
22 A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
Omuntu ow’obusungu aleeta ennyombo, n’omuntu asunguwala amangu ayonoona nnyo.
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
Amalala g’omuntu galimuleetera okugwa, naye omuntu ow’omwoyo ogwetoowaza alifuna ekitiibwa.
24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
Buli assa ekimu n’omubbi akyawa obulamu bwe ye, era ne bw’alayizibwa tasaanira kubaako ky’ayogera.
25 He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
Okutya omuntu kuleeta ekyambika, naye buli eyeesiga Mukama anaabanga mirembe.
26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
Bangi abanoonya okuganja mu maaso g’omufuzi, naye obwenkanya obwa nnama ddala buva eri Mukama.
27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
Atali mutuukirivu wa muzizo eri abatuukirivu; era omwesimbu wa muzizo eri abakozi b’ebibi.
