Proverbs 27
1 Boast not for tomorrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
Usazvirumbidza pamusoro pezuva ramangwana, nokuti hauzivi zvingauyiswa nezuva.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.
Rega mumwe akurumbidze, kwete muromo wako; mumwe munhuwo zvake, kwete miromo yako iwe.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
Ibwe rinorema uye jecha mutoro, asi kudenhwa nebenzi kunorema kupfuura zvose.
4 Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
Hasha dzine utsinye uye kutsamwa kunokurira, asi ndiani angamira pamberi pomunhu ane godo?
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
Kutsiurwa pachena kuri nani pane rudo rwakavanzika.
6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
Maronda okukuvadzwa neshamwari anogamuchirika, asi kutsvoda kwomuvengi kunonyengera.
7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
Uyo akaguta anovenga uchi, asi kune ane nzara kunyange zvinovava zvinozipa.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.
Seshiri inorasika kubva padendere rayo, ndizvo zvakaita munhu anorasika kubva pamusha wake.
9 Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.
Mafuta nezvinonhuhwira zvinouyisa mufaro kumwoyo, uye kunaka kwoushamwari kunobva padzidziso dzake dzakanaka.
10 Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
Usarasa shamwari yako kana shamwari yababa vako, uye usangoenda kumba yehama yako kana wawirwa nedambudziko chete, muvakidzani ari pedyo ari nani kupfuura hama iri kure.
11 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
Iva wakachenjera, mwanakomana wangu, ugofadza mwoyo wangu; ipapo ndichagona kupindura ani naani anondishora.
12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
Munhu akangwara anoona njodzi agovanda, asi asina mano anoramba achienda uye agokuvadzwa nayo.
13 Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
Torera nguo uyo anozviita rubatso kumutorwa; uitore semhiko kana achinge aiita rubatso kumukadzi asingazvibati.
14 He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
Kana munhu akafumira rungwanangwana kukwazisa muvakidzani wake achidaidzirisa zvichaonekwa sechituko.
15 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
Mudzimai anokakavara akafanana nemvura inoramba ichidonha-donha mushure mokunge kwanaya;
16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.
kumudzivisa zvakafanana nokudzivisa mhepo, kana kuchingidzira mafuta noruoko.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Simbi inorodza simbi, saizvozvowo mumwe munhu anorodza mumwe.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.
Uyo anochengeta muonde achadya zvibereko zvawo, uye uyo anochengeta tenzi wake achakudzwa.
19 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
Sezvo mvura ichiratidza chiso, saizvozvowo mwoyo womunhu unoratidza munhu.
Rufu nokuparadza hazvimboguti, kunyangewo maziso omunhu haaguti. (Sheol h7585)
21 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
Hari ndeyokunyautsira sirivha uye choto ndechokunatsa goridhe, asi munhu anoedzwa nerumbidzo yaanowana.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
Kunyange ukatswa benzi muduri, kumutswa sezviyo nomutswi, haungabvisi upenzi hwake maari.
23 Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:
Iva nechokwadi kuti unoziva mamiriro amakwai ako, uchengete zvakanaka mapoka ako;
24 For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.
nokuti pfuma haigari nokusingaperi, uye korona haigari kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.
25 The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.
Kana uswa hukabviswa, uye bumhudza rikabuda, nesora rikaunganidzwa kubva kuzvikomo,
26 Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.
makwayana achakuwanisa zvokupfeka, uye mbudzi nomutengo womunda.
27 Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
Uchava nomukaka wembudzi wakawanda wokudya iwe nemhuri yako, uye wokuraramisa varandakadzi vako.
