< Proverbs 26 >

1 As snow in somer, and reyn in heruest; so glorie is vnsemeli to a fool.
Sechando muzhizha kana mvura pakukohwa, rukudzo haruna kufanira kubenzi.
2 For whi as a brid fliynge ouer to hiy thingis, and a sparowe goynge in to vncerteyn; so cursing brouyt forth with out resonable cause schal come aboue in to sum man.
Sezvinoita kadhimba pakubhururuka kwako, kana nyenganyenga pakubhururuka kwayo somuseve, saizvozvowo kutuka pasina mhosva hakuna zvakunoita.
3 Beting to an hors, and a bernacle to an asse; and a yerde in the bak of vnprudent men.
Tyava yakaitirwa bhiza, matomu akaitirwa mbongoro, uye shamhu musana webenzi!
4 Answere thou not to a fool bi his foli, lest thou be maad lijk hym.
Usapindura benzi maererano noupenzi hwaro, kana kuti iwe pachako uchafanana naro.
5 Answere thou a fool bi his fooli, lest he seme to him silf to be wijs.
Pindura benzi maererano noupenzi hwaro, kuti rirege kuona sokuti rakachenjera.
6 An haltinge man in feet, and drinkinge wickidnesse, he that sendith wordis by a fonned messanger.
Sokuzvigura tsoka kana kunwa bongozozo, ndizvo zvakaita kutumira shoko noruoko rwebenzi.
7 As an haltinge man hath faire leggis in veyn; so a parable is vnsemeli in the mouth of foolis.
Samakumbo echirema akangorembera ndizvo zvakaita chirevo mumuromo webenzi.
8 As he that casteth a stoon in to an heep of mercurie; so he that yyueth onour to an vnwijs man.
Sokusungira ibwe pachipfuramabwe ndizvo zvakaita kupa rukudzo kubenzi.
9 As if a thorn growith in the hond of a drunkun man; so a parable in the mouth of foolis.
Segwenzi reminzwa riri muruoko rwechidhakwa, ndizvo zvakaita chirevo chiri mumuromo webenzi.
10 Doom determyneth causis; and he that settith silence to a fool, swagith iris.
Somuwemburi weuta anopfura pose pose, ndizvo zvakaita anoshandirwa nebenzi kana nomupfuuri zvake.
11 As a dogge that turneth ayen to his spuyng; so is an vnprudent man, that rehersith his fooli.
Sembwa inodzokera kumarutsi ayo, ndizvo zvakaita benzi rinodzokorora upenzi hwaro.
12 Thou hast seyn a man seme wijs to hym silf; an vnkunnyng man schal haue hope more than he.
Unoona munhu anozviti akachenjera pakuona kwake here? Benzi rinotova netariro kupfuura iye.
13 A slow man seith, A lioun is in the weie, a liounnesse is in the foot pathis.
Simbe inoti, “Kune shumba kunzira, shumba inotyisa iri kufamba-famba munzira dzomumusha!”
14 As a dore is turned in his hengis; so a slow man in his bed.
Segonhi rinotenderera pamahinji aro, ndizvo zvinoita simbe pamubhedha wayo.
15 A slow man hidith hise hondis vndur his armpit; and he trauelith, if he turneth tho to his mouth.
Simbe inoisa ruoko rwayo mundiro; inoita usimbe hwokutadza kurudzosera kumuromo wayo.
16 A slow man semeth wysere to hym silf, than seuene men spekynge sentensis.
Simbe inozviti yakachenjera pakuona kwayo kupfuura vanhu vanomwe vanopindura nenjere.
17 As he that takith a dogge bi the eeris; so he that passith, and is vnpacient, and is meddlid with the chiding of anothir man.
Somunhu anobata imbwa nenzeve dzayo, ndizvo zvakaita mupfuuri anopindira pagakava risinei naye.
18 As he is gilti, that sendith speris and arowis in to deth;
Somupengo unopotsera zvitsiga zvomoto, kana miseve inouraya,
19 so a man that anoieth gilefuli his frend, and whanne he is takun, he schal seie, Y dide pleiynge.
ndizvo zvakaita munhu anonyengera muvakidzani wake uye achizoti, “Ndanga ndichiita zvangu je-e!”
20 Whanne trees failen, the fier schal be quenchid; and whanne a priuy bacbitere is withdrawun, stryues resten.
Pasina huni moto unodzima; pasina makuhwa kukakavara kunopera.
21 As deed coolis at quic coolis, and trees at the fier; so a wrathful man reisith chidyngis.
Sezvakaita mazimbe pazvitsiga zvinopfuta nehuni pamoto, ndizvo zvakaita munhu wegakava pakupfutidza rukave.
22 The wordis of a pryuei bacbitere ben as symple; and tho comen til to the ynneste thingis of the herte.
Mashoko eguhwa akaita semisuva yakaisvonaka inodzika mukatikati momunhu.
23 As if thou wolt ourne a vessel of erthe with foul siluer; so ben bolnynge lippis felouschipid with `the werste herte.
Sezvinopenya zvakanamirwa kunze kwomudziyo wevhu, ndizvo zvakaita miromo inotaura zvinoyevedza, asi nomwoyo wakaipa.
24 An enemy is vndirstondun bi hise lippis, whanne he tretith giles in the herte.
Muparadzi anozvivanza namatauriro ake, asi mumwoyo make akaviga ruvengo.
25 Whanne he `makith low his vois, bileue thou not to hym; for seuene wickidnessis ben in his herte.
Kunyange mashoko ake achitapira, usatenda zvaanotaura, nokuti mumwoyo make mune zvinonyangadza zvinomwe.
26 The malice of hym that hilith hatrede gilefuli, schal be schewid in a counsel.
Ruvengo rwake rungavigwa mukunyengera kwake, asi kuipa kwake kuchabudiswa pachena paungano.
27 He that delueth a diche, schal falle in to it; and if a man walewith a stoon, it schal turne ayen to hym.
Kana munhu akachera gomba, achawira mariri; kana munhu akakungurutsa ibwe, richakunguruka, richidzokera pamusoro pake.
28 A fals tunge loueth not treuth; and a slidir mouth worchith fallyngis.
Rurimi runoreva nhema runovenga varunorwadzisa, uye muromo unobata kumeso unoparadza.
