Proverbs 28
1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer, And the righteous is confident as a young lion.
Munhu akaipa anotiza kusina anomudzinganisa, asi vakarurama vakashinga seshumba.
2 By the transgression of a land its heads are many, And by an understanding man, Who knows right—it is prolonged.
Kana nyika ikapanduka, inova navatungamiri vakawanda, asi munhu anonzwisisa uye ane ruzivo anochengetedza runyararo.
3 A man—poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
Mutongi anomanikidza varombo akaita semvura inokukura ichisiya pasina zvirimwa.
4 Those forsaking the Law praise the wicked, Those keeping the Law plead against them.
Avo vanorasa murayiro vanorumbidza vakaipa, asi avo vanochengeta murayiro vanovapikisa.
5 Evil men do not understand judgment, And those seeking YHWH understand all.
Vanhu vakaipa havanzwisisi kururamisira, asi avo vanotsvaka Jehovha vanozvinzwisisa kwazvo.
6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
Zviri nani kuva murombo ane mafambiro akarurama pane mupfumi ane nzira dzakatsauka.
7 Whoever is keeping the Law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons Causes his father to blush.
Uyo anochengeta murayiro mwanakomana akachenjera, asi anofambidzana navanhu vane madyo anonyadzisa baba vake.
8 Whoever is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, Gathers it for one favoring the poor.
Uyo anowedzera pfuma yake nokutengesa nomutengo uri pamusoro-soro, anozviunganidzira mumwe, uyo anozonzwira varombo tsitsi.
9 Whoever is turning his ear from hearing the Law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination.
Kana munhu akaramba kunzwa murayiro nenzeve dzake, kunyange minyengetero yake inonyangadza.
10 Whoever is causing the upright to err in an evil way, He falls into his own pit, And the perfect inherits good.
Uyo anotungamirira vakarurama panzira yakaipa, achawira mumuteyo wake pachake, asi vasina mhosva vachagamuchira nhaka yakanaka.
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searches him.
Munhu akapfuma angazviti akachenjera pakuona kwake, asi murombo ane njere anomuonorora.
12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
Kana vakarurama vachikunda, kune mufaro mukuru; asi kana akaipa akava pachigaro chokutonga, vanhu vanohwanda.
13 Whoever is covering his transgressions does not prosper, And he who is confessing and forsaking has mercy.
Uyo anofukidzira zvivi zvake haabudiriri, asi ani naani anozvireurura uye agozvirasa achawana nyasha.
14 O the blessedness of a man fearing continually, And whoever is hardening his heart falls into evil.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anogara achitya Jehovha, asi uyo anoomesa mwoyo wake achawira mudambudziko.
15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked ruler over a poor people.
Seshumba inoomba, kana bere rinodzingirira, ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaipa anobata ushe pamusoro pavarombo.
16 A leader lacking understanding multiplies oppressions, Whoever is hating dishonest gain prolongs days.
Mutongi anoshusha haana njere, asi uyo anovenga pfuma yakapambwa achararama kwamakore mazhinji.
17 A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Flees to the pit, [and] none takes hold on him [to help].
Munhu anoshushikana nemhosva yake yokuuraya, acharamba ari wokutiza kusvikira pakufa; ngapasava nomunhu anomutsigira.
18 Whoever is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falls at once.
Uyo ano mufambiro wakarurama anogara akachengetedzeka, asi uyo ane nzira dzakatsauka achawa nokukurumidza.
19 Whoever is tilling his ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoever is pursuing vanity, Is filled [with] poverty.
Uyo anorima munda wake achava nezvokudya zvakawanda, asi uyo anodzinganisana nezviroto achava nourombo hwakamufanira.
20 A steadfast man has multiplied blessings, And whoever is hastening to be rich is not acquitted.
Munhu akatendeka acharopafadzwa zvikuru, asi uyo anokara pfuma haangaregi kurangwa.
21 [It] is not good to discern faces, And a man transgresses for a piece of bread.
Kuita rusarura hakuna kunaka, asi kunyange zvakadaro munhu anogona kuita zvakaipa kuti awane chimedu chechingwa.
22 The man [with] an evil eye [is] troubled for wealth, And he does not know that want meets him.
Munhu anonyima ane shungu dzokuda kupfuma asingazivi kuti urombo hwakamugaririra.
23 Whoever is reproving a man finds grace afterward, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
Uyo anotsiura munhu iye achawana nyasha dzakawanda pakupedzisira, kupfuura uyo ane rurimi runonyengera.
24 Whoever is robbing his father or his mother, And is saying, “It is not transgression,” He is a companion to a destroyer.
Uyo anobira baba kana mai vake achiti, “Hazvina kuipa,” ndiye shamwari youya anoparadza.
25 Whoever is proud in soul stirs up contention, And whoever is trusting on YHWH is made fat.
Munhu ane ruchiva anomutsa kupesana, asi uyo anovimba naJehovha achabudirira.
26 Whoever is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoever is walking in wisdom is delivered.
Uyo anovimba nesimba rake ibenzi, asi uyo anofamba muuchenjeri achachengetedzeka.
27 Whoever is giving to the poor has no lack, And whoever is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
Uyo anopa kuvarombo haangashayiwi chinhu, asi uyo anotsinzina meso ake kuvarombo achagamuchira kutukwa kuzhinji.
28 A man is hidden in the rising of the wicked, And the righteous multiply in their destruction!
Kana akaipa achienda pachigaro chokutonga, vanhu vanohwanda; asi kana vakaipa vachiparara, vakarurama vanowanda.
