Proverbs 9
1 wisdom to build house: home her to hew pillar her seven
Inhlakanipho enkulu yakhe indlu yayo, ibaze insika zayo eziyisikhombisa.
2 to slaughter slaughter her to mix wine her also to arrange table her
Ihlabe okuhlatshwayo kwayo, ixubanise iwayini layo, futhi yalungisa itafula layo.
3 to send: depart maiden her to call: call out upon single/height height town
Ithume incekukazi zayo, iyamemeza engqongeni zendawo eziphakemeyo zomuzi zisithi:
4 who? simple to turn aside: depart here/thus lacking heart to say to/for him
Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; oswele ingqondo, ithi kuye:
5 to go: come! to feed on in/on/with food: bread my and to drink in/on/with wine to mix
Wozani, lidle okwesinkwa sami, linathe okwewayini engilixubanisileyo.
6 to leave: forsake simple and to live and to bless in/on/with way: conduct understanding
Yekelani abangelalwazi liphile, lihambe ngokuqonda ngendlela yokuqedisisa.
7 to discipline to mock to take: recieve to/for him dishonor and to rebuke to/for wicked blemish his
Osola isiklolodi uzizuzela ihlazo, lokhuza okhohlakeleyo uzizuzela isici.
8 not to rebuke to mock lest to hate you to rebuke to/for wise and to love: lover you
Ungasoli isiklolodi, hlezi sikuzonde; sola ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuthanda.
9 to give: give to/for wise and be wise still to know to/for righteous and to add teaching
Nika ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuba lokhu ehlakanipha; fundisa olungileyo, njalo uzakwandisa ukufunda.
10 beginning wisdom fear LORD and knowledge holy understanding
Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, lolwazi lwabangcwele luyikuqedisisa.
11 for in/on/with me to multiply day your and to add to/for you year life
Ngoba ngami insuku zakho zizakwandiswa, leminyaka yempilo yengezelelwe kuwe.
12 if be wise be wise to/for you and to mock to/for alone you to lift: bear
Uba uhlakaniphile, uzakuba uzihlakaniphele; uba ukloloda, uzakuthwala wedwa.
13 woman stupidity to roar naivite and not to know what?
Owesifazana oyisithutha ulomsindo, kalangqondo, kazi lutho.
14 and to dwell to/for entrance house: home her upon throne: seat height town
Ngoba uhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni, endaweni eziphakemeyo zomuzi,
15 to/for to call: call to to/for to pass way: journey [the] to smooth way their
ukubiza abadlulayo ngendlela, abahamba beqondile emikhondweni yabo, esithi:
16 who? simple to turn aside: depart here/thus and lacking heart and to say to/for him
Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; loswele ingqondo, uthi kuye:
17 water to steal be sweet and food: bread secrecy be pleasant
Amanzi ebiweyo amnandi, lesinkwa sensitha siyahlabusa.
