Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, For thou knowest not what a day bringeth forth.
Usazvirumbidza pamusoro pezuva ramangwana, nokuti hauzivi zvingauyiswa nezuva.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, A stranger, and not thine own lips.
Rega mumwe akurumbidze, kwete muromo wako; mumwe munhuwo zvake, kwete miromo yako iwe.
3 A stone [is] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both.

Hasha dzine utsinye uye kutsamwa kunokurira, asi ndiani angamira pamberi pomunhu ane godo?
5 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love.
Kutsiurwa pachena kuri nani pane rudo rwakavanzika.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy.
Maronda okukuvadzwa neshamwari anogamuchirika, asi kutsvoda kwomuvengi kunonyengera.
7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And [to] a hungry soul every bitter thing [is] sweet.
Uyo akaguta anovenga uchi, asi kune ane nzara kunyange zvinovava zvinozipa.
8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering from his place.
Seshiri inorasika kubva padendere rayo, ndizvo zvakaita munhu anorasika kubva pamusha wake.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend — from counsel of the soul.
Mafuta nezvinonhuhwira zvinouyisa mufaro kumwoyo, uye kunaka kwoushamwari kunobva padzidziso dzake dzakanaka.
10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better [is] a near neighbour than a brother afar off.
Usarasa shamwari yako kana shamwari yababa vako, uye usangoenda kumba yehama yako kana wawirwa nedambudziko chete, muvakidzani ari pedyo ari nani kupfuura hama iri kure.
11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word.
Iva wakachenjera, mwanakomana wangu, ugofadza mwoyo wangu; ipapo ndichagona kupindura ani naani anondishora.
12 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished.

14 Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him.
Kana munhu akafumira rungwanangwana kukwazisa muvakidzani wake achidaidzirisa zvichaonekwa sechituko.
15 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike,
Mudzimai anokakavara akafanana nemvura inoramba ichidonha-donha mushure mokunge kwanaya;
16 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out.
kumudzivisa zvakafanana nokudzivisa mhepo, kana kuchingidzira mafuta noruoko.
17 Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.
Simbi inorodza simbi, saizvozvowo mumwe munhu anorodza mumwe.
18 The keeper of a fig-tree eateth its fruit, And the preserver of his master is honoured.
Uyo anochengeta muonde achadya zvibereko zvawo, uye uyo anochengeta tenzi wake achakudzwa.
19 As [in] water the face [is] to face, So the heart of man to man.
Sezvo mvura ichiratidza chiso, saizvozvowo mwoyo womunhu unoratidza munhu.
Rufu nokuparadza hazvimboguti, kunyangewo maziso omunhu haaguti. (Sheol h7585)
21 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise.
Hari ndeyokunyautsira sirivha uye choto ndechokunatsa goridhe, asi munhu anoedzwa nerumbidzo yaanowana.
22 If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things — with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off him.
Kunyange ukatswa benzi muduri, kumutswa sezviyo nomutswi, haungabvisi upenzi hwake maari.
23 Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the droves,
Iva nechokwadi kuti unoziva mamiriro amakwai ako, uchengete zvakanaka mapoka ako;
24 For riches [are] not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation.
nokuti pfuma haigari nokusingaperi, uye korona haigari kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.
25 Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And gathered the herbs of mountains.
Kana uswa hukabviswa, uye bumhudza rikabuda, nesora rikaunganidzwa kubva kuzvikomo,
26 Lambs [are] for thy clothing, And the price of the field [are] he-goats,
makwayana achakuwanisa zvokupfeka, uye mbudzi nomutengo womunda.
27 And a sufficiency of goats' milk [is] for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels!
Uchava nomukaka wembudzi wakawanda wokudya iwe nemhuri yako, uye wokuraramisa varandakadzi vako.
