‏ Proverbs 17

1Ber bangʼo kuon gi kwe kod mor
moloyo ot mopongʼ gi chiemo mathoth kod dhawo.

2Misumba mariek biro bedo gi loch kuom wuowi makwodo wich,
kendo obiro yudo pok mar girkeni machal mana gi owetene.

3Dhahabu gi fedha itemo gi mach,
to Jehova Nyasaye ema temo chuny.

4Ngʼat ma timbene richo chiko ite ne dhok mopongʼ gi richo,
ja-miriambo winjo lep mar ajara.

5Ngʼat ma jaro jochan ochayo Jachwechgi;
ngʼat mamor gi masira ok notony ne kum.

6Nyikwayo gin osimbo ne joma oti,
to jonywol e mor mar nyithindgi.

7Lep mar sunga ok owinjore ne ngʼama ofuwo,
to en rach maromo nadi lep mariambo ne jaloch!

8Asoya en bilo ne ngʼat machiwe,
kamoro amora modhiye, odhi maber.

9Ngʼat ma umo ketho mewo hera,
to ngʼat mamedo timo gima kamano pogo osiepe moherore.

10Puonj mar kwer konyo ngʼat mariek,
moloyo chwat nyadi mia ni ngʼat mofuwo.

11Ngʼat ma jaricho ohero mana miero,
jaote makwiny ema ibiro orone.

12Ber romo gi ondiek madhako moma nyithinde,
moloyo romo gi ngʼat mofuwo ei fupe.

13Ka ngʼato chulo rach kar ber,
rach ok nowe ode.

14Chako dhawo chalo gimuko yawo,
emomiyo we wach kapok dhawo owuok.

15Jehova Nyasaye mon-gi ngʼama chwako jaketho
kata kumo ngʼat maonge ketho.

16Ere tiende mondo ngʼat mofuwo obed gi pesa
nimar oonge gi dwaro mar bedo mariek?

17En adier ni osiepni nyalo heri kinde duto,
to owadu ema konyi e chandruok.

18Ngʼat maonge gi rieko
ema keto gir singo ne jabute.

19Ngʼat mohero dhawo ohero richo;
ngʼat mogero ohinga mabor kelo mana hinyruok.

20Ngʼat man-gi chuny marach ok nyal dhi maber;
ngʼat ma lewe riambo podho e chandruok.

21Bedo gi ngʼat mofuwo kaka wuowi kelo kuyo;
onge mor ni wuoro ma wuon ngʼat mofuwo.

22Chuny mamor en yath maber,
to chuny mool tuoyo choke.

23Ngʼat ma timbene richo yie asoya kama opondo
mondo oketh gima kare.

24Ngʼat mariek keto rieko mondo otel,
to wenge ngʼat mofuwo bayo nyaka giko piny.

25Wuowi mofuwo kelo kuyo ni wuon mare
kod chuny lit ne ngʼat mane onywole.

26Ok en gima ber kumo ngʼat maonge ketho
kata goyo joote nikech dimbruokgi.

27Ngʼat man-gi ngʼeyo konyore gi weche kotangʼ;
to ngʼat man-gi winjo wach to ritore maber.

28Kata ngʼat mofuwo ikwano ka ngʼat mariek ka olingʼ thi;
kendo ka ngʼat mongʼeyo ka orito lewe.
