‏ Proverbs 7

Siem kuom dhako ma jachode

1Wuoda, rit wechena
kendo ipand chikena e chunyi.
2Rit chikena to ibiro bedo mangima;
rit puonjna mana kaka dirit tong wangʼi.
3Twegi e lith lweti kendo ndikgi e chunyi maiye.
4Wach ne rieko niya, “In e nyaminwa,”
to luong ngʼeyo tiend wach ni watni;
5ginimi itangʼ ni dhako ma jachode,
inibed mabor gi dhako mabayo kaachiel,
kod wechene malombo ji.

6Ka nangʼicho oko
gie dirisa mar oda,
7ne aneno e dier joma ngʼeyogi tin,
ne afwenyo e dier yawuowi matindo,
rawera maonge gi rieko.
8Ne owuotho e wangʼ yo makadho but od dhakono,
kowuotho kochiko od dhakono,
9ka piny ngʼiringʼiri, ka piny dwaro yuso,
e kindeno ma mudho mako piny.

10Eka apoya nono dhakono nowuok mondo oromne,
korwakore kaka ochot mopongʼ gi paro marach.
11En dhako ma wangʼe tek kendo maonge wichkuot,
tiendene susni ma ok obed e ot;
12sani onene e yo, to bangʼ sa matin en kuonde chokruok,
kendo e kuonde mopondo duto oyudore.
13Omiyo nokwake mi onyodhe,
gi wangʼ matek, nowachone niya:

14“An gi misango mar lalruok e oda,
kawuononi asechopo singruok maga.
15Omiyo ne abiro mondo arom kodi,
asemanyi to koro aseyudi!
16Asepedho kitandana
gi suke mokikokiko moa Misri.
17Asekiro moo e kitandana,
gin modhi mangʼeny mangʼwe ngʼar gi mane-mane kod obala ndago.
18Bi, wadhi wayud mor mar hera nyaka piny ru,
mondo wabed mamor ka wawinjo maber e hera!
19Chwora ok nitiere dala;
osedhiyo e wuoth mabor.
20Nokawo mifukone mopongʼ gi pesa,
kendo ok obi duogo dala nyaka bangʼ ndalo mogwarore.”

21Kamano, dhakono nowuonde gi weche mamit;
mi nohoye kendo odhi kode.
22Gikanyono noluwe kodhi kode
mana ka rwadh bwoch mitero kar yengʼo,
kata ka mwanda madonjo e obeto
23nyaka asere chwowe mahob chunye,
kata ka winyo madhiyo e obadho ma ochikne,
ka ok ongʼeyo ni ngimane ni e tho!

24Koro un yawuota winjauru,
chikuru itu ne gima awacho.
25Kik uyie mondo chunyu odhi e yorene,
kata bayo e yorene.
26Oseketho ngima ji mangʼeny,
kendo osemiyo ji mathoth mak kwanre otho.
27Ode en yo malach matero ji e liel,
otelo ni ji koterogi e kuonde mag tho.
