Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
Omwana omugezi assaayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro bya kitaawe, naye omunyoomi tafaayo ku kunenyezebwa.
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
Omuntu asanyuka olw’ebirungi ebiva mu bibala bya kamwa ke, naye atali mwesigwa yeegomba kuleeta ntalo.
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
Oyo eyeegendereza by’ayogera akuuma obulamu bwe, naye oyo amala googera, alizikirira.
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
Omuntu omugayaavu yeegomba kyokka n’atabaako ky’afuna, naye omunyiikivu byayagala byonna abifuna.
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
Omuntu omutuukirivu akyawa obulimba, naye omukozi w’ebibi yeereetera kunyoomebwa.
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
Obutuukirivu bukuuma omuntu omwesimbu, naye okukola ebibi kuzikiriza omwonoonyi.
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
Omuntu omu ayinza okwefuula omugagga ate nga taliiko ky’alina, ate omulala ne yeefuula okuba omwavu so nga mugagga nnyo.
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
Obugagga bw’omuntu buyinza okumununula, naye omwavu talina ky’atya.
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Ekitangaala ky’abatuukirivu kyaka nnyo, naye ettaala y’abakozi b’ebibi ezikira.
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
Amalala gazaala buzaazi nnyombo, naye amagezi gasangibwa mu abo abakkiriza okulabulwa.
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
Ensimbi enkumpanye ziggwaawo, naye ezijja empolampola zeeyongera obungi.
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
Essuubi erirwawo okutuukirira lirwaza omutima, naye ekyegombebwa bwe kituukirira kiba muti gwa bulamu.
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
Omuntu anyooma ebiragiro aligwa mu mitawaana, naye oyo awuliriza ebimulagirwa aliweebwa empeera.
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
Okuyigiriza kw’omuntu alina amagezi nsulo ya bulamu, era kuggya omuntu mu mitego gy’okufa.
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
Okutegeera okulungi kuleeta okuganja, naye ekkubo ly’abateesigibwa liba zzibu.
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
Omuntu omwegendereza akola amaze kulowooza, naye omusirusiru alaga obutamanya bwe.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
Omubaka omubi yeesuula mu mitawaana, naye omubaka omwesigwa aleeta kuwonyezebwa.
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
Anyooma okukangavvulwa yeereetako obwavu n’obuswavu, naye oyo assaayo omwoyo ku kunenyezebwa aweebwa ekitiibwa.
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
Ekyegombebwa bwe kituukirira kisanyusa omutima, naye okulekayo okukola ebibi kya muzizo eri abasirusiru.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
Oyo atambula n’abantu abagezi ageziwala, naye oyo atambula n’abasirusiru alaba ennaku.
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
Emitawaana gigoberera aboonoonyi, naye okukulaakulana y’empeera y’abatuukirivu.
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
Omuntu omulungi alekera bazzukulu be ebyobusika, naye obugagga bw’omwonoonyi buterekerwa omutuukirivu.
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
Ennimiro z’abaavu ziyinza okuvaamu emmere nnyingi, naye obutali bwenkanya ne bugyera yonna.
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
Atakozesa kaggo akyawa omwana we, naye oyo amwagala afaayo okumukangavvula.
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Omutuukirivu alya emmere ye n’akkuta, naye abakozi b’ebibi basigala nga bayala.
