Zvirevo 10
1 Zvirevo zvaSoromoni: Mwanakomana akachenjera anofadza baba vake, asi mwanakomana benzi anosuwisa mai vake.
THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother.
2 Pfuma yakawanikwa zvakaipa haibatsiri chinhu, asi kururama kunorwira parufu.

3 Jehovha haatenderi akarurama kuti anzwe nzara, asi kupanga kwowakaipa anokusundira kure.

4 Maoko ane usimbe anoita kuti munhu ave murombo, asi maoko anoshingaira anopfumisa.
A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.
5 Anounganidza zvirimwa muzhizha, mwanakomana akachenjera, asi anorara munguva yokukohwa, mwanakomana anonyadzisa.
He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion.
6 Maropafadzo ndiwo korona yomusoro woakarurama, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.

7 Kuyeukwa kwowakarurama kuchava chikomborero, asi zita rowakaipa richaora.

8 Akachenjera pamwoyo anogamuchira mirayiro, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.
The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten.
9 Munhu akarurama anofamba akachengetedzeka, asi uyo anofamba nenzira dzakaminama achabatwa.
He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.
10 Uyo anochonya neziso roruvengo anouyisa kusuwa, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.
He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten.
11 Muromo womunhu akarurama chitubu choupenyu, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.
The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 Ruvengo runomutsa kupesana, asi rudo runofukidzira zvakaipa zvose.
Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses.
13 Uchenjeri hunowanikwa pamiromo yavane njere, asi shamhu yakafanira musana wouyo asina njere.
In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.
14 Vanhu vakachenjera vanochengeta zivo, asi muromo webenzi unotsvaka kuparara.
Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction.
15 Upfumi hwavakapfuma ndiro guta ravo rina masvingo, asi urombo ndiko kuparadzwa kwavarombo.

17 Uyo anoteerera kurayira anoratidza nzira youpenyu, asi ani naani anozvidza kudzorwa anotsausa vamwe.
He that regardeth instruction, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way.

He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole.
19 Kana mashoko ari mazhinji, chivi hachingashayikwi, asi uyo anodzora rurimi rwake akachenjera.
In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.
20 Rurimi rwakarurama isirivha yakaisvonaka, asi mwoyo wowakaipa haubatsiri chinhu.

21 Miromo yemunhu akarurama inosimbisa vazhinji, asi mapenzi anofa nokuda kwokushayiwa zivo.

22 Kuropafadza kwaJehovha kunowanisa upfumi, uye haawedzeri matambudziko kwahuri.

23 Benzi rinofadzwa nokuita zvakaipa, asi munhu anonzwisisa anofarira uchenjeri.

26 Sevhiniga kumazino noutsi kumaziso, ndizvo zvakaita simbe kuna avo vachamutuma.
