UmTshumayeli 10
1 Njengoba impukane ezifele phakathi kwamakha ziwenza anuke kubi, kunjalo lobuwula obuncinyane bugabhela ukuhlakanipha lodumo.
Flies of death it causes to stink it ferments [the] oil of a perfumer [is] weighty more than wisdom more than honor folly a little.
2 Inhliziyo yolungileyo ikhungathekela ekulungeni, kodwa inhliziyo yesiwula ikhungathekela ebubini.
[the] heart of A wise [person] [is] to right [hand] his and [the] heart of a fool [is] to left [hand] his.
3 Loba ehamba nje emgwaqweni oyisiwula kalangqondo, utshengisa loba ngubani ubuphukuphuku bakhe.
And also on the way (like when a fool *Q(K)*) [is] going heart his is lacking and he says to everyone [is] a fool he.
4 Aluba umbusi ekuthukuthelela, ungasuki esikhundleni sakho; ukuthobeka kungathoba umonakalo obungaba khona.
If [the] spirit of the ruler it will go up towards you place your may not you leave for calmness it will cause to rest sins great.
5 Bukhona ububi esengibubonile ngaphansi kwelanga, kuliphutha elenziwa ngumbusi:
There [is] an evil [which] I have seen under the sun like an inadvertence that [is] going forth from to before the ruler.
6 Iziwula ziphakanyiselwa ezikhundleni ezinengi eziphezulu, kodwa abanothileyo belezikhundla eziphansi.
It is put folly in high places many and rich [people] in the low place they sit.
7 Sengibone izichaka zigade amabhiza, kuthi amakhosana ahambe ngezinyawo njengezichaka.
I have seen slaves on horses and princes [who] walk like slaves on the ground.
8 Lowo ogebha umgodi angawela kuwo; odiliza umduli angalunywa yinyoka.
[one who] digs A pit in it he will fall and [one who] breaks through a wall it will bite him a snake.
9 Oqhekeza amatshe angalinyazwa yiwo; obanda inkuni angaba sengozini yazo.
[one who] quarries Stones he will be hurt by them [one who] cleaves wood he will be endangered by them.
10 Lapho ihloka libuthundu ubukhali balo bungalolwanga, kudingeka amandla amanengi kodwa ubungcitshi buyaphumelelisa.
If it is blunt the iron [axe] and he not faces he has sharpened and strength he will make strong and [is] advantage (to give success *Q(k)*) wisdom.
11 Nxa inyoka ihle ilume ingakalunjwa, umlumbi kaselanzuzo.
If it will bite the snake with not charming and there not [is] profit for [the] master of the tongue.
12 Amazwi aphuma emlonyeni wesihlakaniphi amnandi, kodwa isiwula sichithwa yizindebe zaso.
[the] words of [the] mouth of A wise [person] [are] favor and [the] lips of a fool it swallows him.
13 Ekuqaleni amazwi aso ayibuwula; ekucineni aseyikuwumana okubi
[the] beginning of [the] words of Mouth his [is] folly and [the] end of mouth his [is] madness evil.
14 njalo isiwula sanda ngamazwi. Kakho okwaziyo okuzayo ngubani ongamazisa okuzakwenzakala ngemva kwakhe na?
And the fool he multiplies words not he knows the person what? that will be and which it will be from after him who? will he tell to him.
15 Umtshikatshika wesiwula uyasidinisa; kasiyazi indlela eya edolobheni.
[the] toil of Fools it wearies him that not he knows to walk to a city.
16 Maye kuwe, wena lizwe onkosi yalo yayiyisichaka, amakhosana akho azitika ngamadili ekuseni.
Woe! to you O land that king your [is] a youth and princes your in the morning they eat.
17 Ubusisiwe wena, wena lizwe onkosi yalo izalwa esikhosini amakhosana alo adla ngezikhathi eziqondileyo edlela ukuqina hatshi ukudakwa.
How blessed [are] you O land that king your [is] a son of nobles and princes your at the appropriate time they eat for strength and not for drinking.
18 Nxa indoda ilivila intungo ziyabhensa; nxa izandla zayo ziyekethisa indlu iyavuza.
In laziness it sinks the rafter[s] and in lowering of hands it leaks the house.
19 Idili lenzelwa ukujabula, lewayini lenza impilo ibe mnandi, kodwa imali yiyo impendulo yakho konke.
For laughter [people are] making food and wine it makes glad life and money it answers everything.
20 Ungayithuki inkosi lasemicabangweni yakho, loba uqalekise abanothileyo loba usendlini yakho yokulala, ngoba mhlawumbe inyoni yasemoyeni ingawathwala amazwi akho, loba inyoni ephaphayo ingayabika okutshoyo.
Also in mind your a king may not you curse and in [the] chambers of lying down your may not you curse a rich [person] for bird of the heavens it will carry the sound and an owner (of wings *Q(K)*) it will tell [the] matter.
