Zvirevo 10

¹Zvirevo zvaSoromoni. Mwanakomana, akachenjera, anofadza baba; Asi mwanakomana benzi anoshuwisa mai vake.The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

²fuma yakawanikwa nezvakaipa haibatsiri chinhu; Asi kururama kunorwira parufu.Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

³Jehovha haangatenderi mweya wowakarurama kuti unzwe nzara; Asi kupanga kwavakaipa unokusundira kure.The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

⁴Anobata noruoko rusine hanya, achava murombo; Asi ruoko rweasina usimbe runofumisa.He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

⁵Anounganidza muzhezha, ndiye mwanakomana wakachenjera; Asi anovata hope mukukohwa, mwanakomana anonyadzisa.He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

⁶Mikomborero iri pamusoro wowakarurama; Asi muromo wowakaipa unovanza kumanikidza.Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

⁷Kuyeukwa kwowakarurama kunovigira kuropafadzwa, Asi zita rowakaipa richaora.The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

⁸Ane moyo wakachenjera, achagamuchira mirairo; Asi ane miromo youpenzi achawisirwa pasi.The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

⁹Anofamba zvakarurama, anofamba zvakasimba; Asi anominamisa nzira dzake, achazikanwa.He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

¹⁰Anochonya neziso rake, anouyisa madambudzo; Asi ane miromo youpenzi, achawisirwa pasi.He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

¹¹Muromo wowakarurama itsime roupenyu; Asi muromo wowakaipa unovanza kumanikidza.The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

¹²Mbengo dzinomutsa kukakavara; Asi rudo runofukidza kudarika kwose.Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

¹³Pamiromo yeane njere panowanikwa uchenjeri; Asi shamhu yakafanira musana woanoshaiwa njere.In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁴Vakachenjera vanozvichengetera zivo; Asi muromo webenzi uri pedo nokuparadzwa.Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

¹⁵fuma yomufumi ndiro guta rake rakasimba; Zvinoparadza varombo ndihwo urombo hwavo.The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

¹⁶Zvaakabatira zvinoisa wakarurama kuupenyu; Zvakawanikwa nowakaipa zvinoisa kuzvivi.The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

¹⁷Anoteerera kurairirwa, ari panzira youpenyu; Asi anoramba kurairwa, anotsausa vamwe.He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

¹⁸Anovanza kuvenga, ane miromo yenhema; Ana makuhwa, ibenzi.He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

¹⁹Kudarika hakungakoni pamunhu anamashoko mazhinji; Asi anodzora miromo yake, ano huchenjeri.In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

²⁰Rurimi rwowakarurama rwakafanana nesirivha yakasarurwa; moyo wowakaipa haubatsiri chinhu.The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

²¹Miromo yowakarurama inosimbisa vazhinji; Asi mapenzi anofa nokushaiwa zivo.The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

²²Kuropafadza kwaJehovha ndiko kunofumisa; Kutambura pabasa hakuwedzeri chinhu.The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

²³Benzi rinoti kuita zvakaipa kutamba; Ndizvo zvinoitawo uchenjeri kuno ane njere.It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

²⁴Zvinotyiwa nowakaipa, ndizvo zvichamuwira; Asi wakarurama achapiwa zvaanoda.The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

²⁵Kana chamupupuri chapfuura, wakaipa haachipo; Asi wakarurama ane nheyo dzisingaperi.As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

²⁶Sezvinoita vhininga pameno, noutsi pameso, Ndizvo zvakaita simbe kuna vanomutuma.As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

²⁷Kutya Jehovha kunowedzera mazuva; Asi makore owakaipa achatapudzwa.The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

²⁸Tariro yavakarurama mufaro; Asi kutarira kwavakaipa kuchaparadzwa.The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

²⁹Nzira yaJehovha inhare kunowakarurama; Asi ndiko kuparadzwa kuna vanoita zvakaipa.The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

³⁰Wakarurama haangatongozununguswi nokusingaperi; Asi vakaipa havangarambi vagere panyika.The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

³¹Muromo wowakarurama unobudisa uchenjeri; Asi rurimi rune nhema ruchabviswa.The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

³²Miromo yowakarurama inoziva zvinofadza; Asi muromo wowakaipa unotaura zvine nhema.The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
