Proverbs 20
1 Wiyn is a letcherouse thing and drunkenesse is ful of noise; who euere delitith in these, schal not be wijs.
Waini museki uye doro mupopoti; ani naani anotsauswa nazvo haana kuchenjera.

Vanhu vazhinji vanoti vane rudo rusingagumi, asi munhu akatendeka angawanikwa kupiko?
7 Forsothe a iust man that goith in his simplenesse, schal leeue blessid sones aftir hym.
Munhu akarurama anorarama upenyu hwakanaka; vana vake vanomutevera vakaropafadzwa.
8 A king that sittith in the seete of doom, distrieth al yuel bi his lokyng.
Kana mambo achinge agara pachigaro chake kuti atonge, anopepeta zvakaipa zvose nameso ake.
9 Who may seie, Myn herte is clene; Y am clene of synne?

16 Take thou awei the cloth of hym, that was borewe of an othere man; and for straungeris take thou awei a wed fro hym.

20 The liyt of hym that cursith his fadir and modir, schal be quenchid in the myddis of derknessis.
Kana munhu akatuka baba vake kana mai vake, mwenje wake uchadzimwa parima guru.
21 Eritage to which me haastith in the bigynnyng, schal wante blessing in the laste tyme.
Nhaka yakakurumidza kuwanikwa pakutanga haingaropafadzwi pamagumo ayo.
22 Seie thou not, Y schal yelde yuel for yuel; abide thou the Lord, and he schal delyuere thee.
Usati, “Ndichatsiva zvawanditadzira izvi!” Mirira Jehovha, uye iye achakubatsira.

28 Merci and treuthe kepen a kyng; and his trone is maad strong bi mekenesse.
Rudo nokutendeka zvinochengetedza mambo; kubudikidza norudo chigaro chake chinosimbiswa.
