Emmy Kosgei - KALEWENAIK Lyrics

Listen to the sayings of Solomon,

Listen to the proverbs of elders ...

Kalenjin proverb ~

Kigile ngosamis murian kobo got nebo iyie oh eh

Kigile marorien chi kelda nebo chi iyie oh eh !

i). Listen! Wisdom is calling out in the streets and market places,

calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together ~ take a listen hmm

“fools despise wisdom and instruction..

Heed hmmm ... (proverbs 1:20 -22)

Proverbs 1:8, my son, your father’s instruction and forsake not your mother’s teaching...

Said Lemuel's mother ~

CHORUS ::: Kalenjin proverb ~

Kigile ngosamis murian kobo got nebo iyie oh eh

Kigile marorien chi kelda nebo chi iyie oh eh !

ii) How long will you lie down, O lazy one?

When will you arise from your sleep

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,

A little folding of the hands ..sleep comes”—

So your poverty will come like an approaching prowler who walks..

And your need like an armed man.

(Proverbs 6:9-11)

Go to the ant, O lazy one;

Observe her ways and be wise ~

Which, having no chief it gathers its food at harvest.

Having no Overseer nor a ruler ..

She prepares her food in the summer .

(Proverbs 6:6-8)

Take a listen....

C H O R U S .... Kalenjin proverb ~

Kigile ngosamis murian kobo got nebo iyie oh eh

Kigile marorien chi kelda nebo chi iyie oh eh !

iii).It is not for kings to drink,

   not for rulers to crave beer,

5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.

6 Let beer be for those who are perishing ~

(Proverbs 31;4'6)

Iyie oh eh hmm .. Listen ~

iii) Better a dry crust with peace and tranquility,than a house full of feasting with strife.(Proverbs 17:1)

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger ~ (Proverbs 15;1)

Words of Solomon ~

Take a listen.... iyeh oh eh...

Do not say to your neighbor go,

“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”— when you already have what he needs. (Proverbs 3:28)
