Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom bildide an hous to him silf; he hewide out seuene pileris,
Uchenjeri hwakavaka imba yahwo; hwakaveza mbiru dzahwo nomwe.
2 he offride his slayn sacrifices, he medlide wijn, and settide forth his table.
Hwakabika nyama yahwo; uye hukagadzira waini yahwo; hwakagadzirawo tafura yahwo.
3 He sente hise handmaides, that thei schulden clepe to the tour; and to the wallis of the citee.
Hwakatuma varandakadzi vahwo, uye hunodanidzira kubva panzvimbo yakakwirira kwazvo yeguta.
4 If ony man is litil; come he to me. And wisdom spak to vnwise men,
Kuna avo vanoshayiwa njere hunoti, “Vose vasina uchenjeri ngavauye muno!
5 Come ye, ete ye my breed; and drynke ye the wiyn, which Y haue medlid to you.
Uyai, mudye zvokudya zvangu munwe waini yandagadzira.
6 Forsake ye yong childhed, and lyue ye; and go ye bi the weyes of prudence.
Siyai nzira dzenyu dzisina mano mugorarama; fambai munzira yokunzwisisa.
7 He that techith a scornere, doith wrong to him silf; and he that vndirnymmeth a wickid man, gendrith a wem to him silf.
“Ani naani anorayira mudadi anozvitsvakira kutukwa; ani naani anotsiura munhu akaipa anozviwanira kutukwa.
8 Nile thou vndirnyme a scornere; lest he hate thee. Vndirnyme thou a wise man; and he schal loue thee.
Usatsiura mudadi kuti arege kukuvenga; tsiura munhu akachenjera uye achakuda.
9 Yyue thou occasioun to a wise man; and wisdom schal be encreessid to hym. Teche thou a iust man; and he schal haste to take.
Rayira munhu akachenjera uye achawedzera uchenjeri hwake; dzidzisa munhu akarurama uye achawedzera kudzidza kwake.
10 The bigynnyng of wisdom is the dreed of the Lord; and prudence is the kunnyng of seyntis.
“Kutya Jehovha ndiwo mavambo ouchenjeri, uye kuziva Iye Mutsvene ndiko kunzwisisa.
11 For thi daies schulen be multiplied bi me; and yeeris of lijf schulen be encreessid to thee.
Nokuti neni mazuva ako achava mazhinji, uye makore achawedzerwa kuupenyu hwako.
12 If thou art wijs; thou schalt be to thi silf, and to thi neiyboris. Forsothe if thou art a scornere; thou aloone schalt bere yuel.
Kana uri wakachenjera, uchenjeri hwako huchakupa mubayiro; kana uri mudadi, iwe woga ndiwe uchatambura.”
13 A fonned womman, and ful of cry, and ful of vnleueful lustis, and that kan no thing outirli,
Mukadzi benzi ane ruzha; haana kudzikama uye haana zivo.
14 sittith in the doris of hir hous, on a seete, in an hiy place of the cite;
Anogara pamusuo wemba yake, napachigaro chiri panzvimbo yakakwiririsa yeguta,
15 to clepe men passinge bi the weie, and men goynge in her iournei.
achidanidzira kuna avo vanenge vachipfuura napo, vaya vanofamba zvakarurama nenzira yavo.
16 Who is a litil man `of wit; bowe he to me. And sche spak to a coward,
Anoti kuna vaya vasina njere, “Vose vasina mano ngavauye muno!
17 Watris of thefte ben swettere, and breed hid is swettere.
Mvura yakabiwa inozipa; zvokudya zvinodyirwa muchivande zvinonaka!”
18 And wiste not that giauntis ben there; and the gestis `of hir ben in the depthis of helle. Sotheli he that schal be applied, ether fastned, to hir; schal go doun to hellis. For whi he that goith awei fro hir; schal be saued. (Sheol h7585)
Asi zvavasingazivi ndezvokuti mune vakafa, uye kuti vanomushanyira vari mukati kati meguva. (Sheol h7585)
