Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Usamanyadire za mawa, pakuti sudziwa zimene zidzachitike pa tsikulo.
2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thine owne mouth: a stranger, and not thine owne lips.

8 As a bird that wandreth from her nest, so is a man that wandreth from his owne place.
Munthu amene wasochera ku nyumba kwake, ali monga mbalame imene yasochera pa chisa chake.
9 As oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart, so doeth the sweetenes of a mans friend by hearty counsell.
Mafuta ndi zonunkhira zimasangalatsa mtima, ndipo kukoma mtima kwa bwenzi kwagona pa malangizo ake.
10 Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.
Usasiye bwenzi lako ndiponso bwenzi la abambo ako, ndipo usapite ku nyumba ya mʼbale wako pamene wakumana ndi mavuto; mnzako wokhala naye pafupi amaposa mʼbale wako wokhala kutali.

14 He that prayseth his friend with a loude voyce, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.
Ngati munthu apatsa mnzake moni mofuwula mmamawa kwambiri, anthu adzamuyesa kuti akutemberera.
15 A continual dropping in the day of raine, and a contentious woman are alike.
Mkazi wolongolola ali ngati mvula yamvumbi.
16 He that hideth her, hideth the winde, and she is as ye oyle in his right hand, that vttereth it selfe.
Kumuletsa mkazi wotereyu zimenezi zili ngati kuletsa mphepo kapena kufumbata mafuta mʼdzanja.
17 Yron sharpeneth yron, so doeth man sharpen the face of his friend.
Chitsulo chimanoledwa ndi chitsulo chinzake, chomwechonso munthu amanoledwa ndi munthu mnzake.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eate the fruite thereof: so he that waiteth vpon his master, shall come to honour.
