‏ Proverbs 4

Ohala miyudo kuom bedo gi rieko

1Yawuota, winjuru puonj mag wuonu;
chikuru itu eka ubed gi ngʼeyo moloyo.
2Puonj mara mamiyou beyo,
omiyo kik ujwangʼ puonjna.
3Kane pod an wuowi e od wuora,
kane pod an rawera kendo nyathi achiel kende mar minwa,
4nopuonja kowacho niya,
“Mak matek wechena gi chunyi duto,
rit chikena eka inibed mangima.
5Yud rieko kod ngʼeyo matut,
wiyi kik wil kod wechena kata weyogi.
6Kik ijwangʼ rieko to obiro bedoni ragengʼ;
here, to obiro ritoi.
7Rieko nigi duongʼ moloyo, omiyo yud rieko.
Kata obedo ni mwanduni duto nyalo rumo,
to bed gi winjo tiend wach.
8Miye duongʼ, to enotingʼi malo;
rwake chutho, to obiro miyi duongʼ.
9Enoket ogut ngʼwono e wiyi
kendo nosidhni osimbo mar duongʼ.”

10Wuoda, winji kendo yie gima awacho
eka higni mag ngimani nobed mangʼeny.
11Apuonji e yor rieko
kendo anyisi yo makare.
12Ka iwuotho, to ok inikier
bende ka iringo, to ok inichwanyri.
13Mak motegno gima isepuonjori,
kik iweye, olalni to irite maber, nikech en e ngimani.
14Kik iwuothi e yor joma timbegi mono
kata kik iluw yor jomaricho.
15Bed mabor gi yorno, kik iwuothie,
to wichri kendo iluw yori iwuon.
16Nikech ok ginyal nindo nyaka gitim gima mono;
ayula wangʼ bende ok nyal terogi kapok gimiyo ngʼato opodho.
17Timbe mamono e chiembgi ma gichamo,
to timbe ja-mahundu e divai ma gimadho.

18Yor joma kare chalo ka ugwe mar kogwen,
omedo rieny maler nyaka chiengʼ wuogi.
19To yor joricho chalo gi mudho mandiwa;
ok gingʼeyo gima miyo gichwanyore.

20Wuoda, chik iti malongʼo ne gima awacho,
chik iti maber ne wechena.
21Kik iwe gilal e wangʼi
to kan-gi e chunyi;
22nikech gikelo ngima ni jogo moyudogo
kendo gin gi ngima maber ne ringre dhano duto.
23To moloyo duto, rit chunyi,
nikech en e soko mar ngima.
24Wach ma ok adiera kik aa e dhogi;
weche mag miganga kik wuogi e dhogi.
25Rang mana nyimi tir,
ka ichomo wangʼi moriere tir e nyimi.
26Rie yore tir monego iluw
kendo luw mana yore motegno.
27Kik ibar kidhiyo korachwich kata koracham;
rit tiendi mondo kik idonji e richo.
