| Usiwahusudu watu waovu, Wala usitamani kuwa pamoja nao; Mithali 24:1 |
Don't be envious of evil men; Neither desire to be with them: |
| Kwa maana moyo wao hufikiri dhuluma, Na midomo yao huongea madhara. Mithali 24:2 |

Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down. |

Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction: |
| Bado kulala kidogo, kusinzia kidogo, Bado kukunja mikono upate usingizi! Mithali 24:33 |
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep; |
| Hivyo, umaskini wako huja kama mnyang'anyi, Na uhitaji wako kama mtu mwenye silaha. Mithali 24:34 |
So shall your poverty come as a robber, And your want as an armed man. |
