Zvirevo 10
1 Zvirevo zvaSoromoni: Mwanakomana akachenjera anofadza baba vake, asi mwanakomana benzi anosuwisa mai vake.
The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son, maketh a glad father, but, a foolish son, is the grief of his mother.
2 Pfuma yakawanikwa zvakaipa haibatsiri chinhu, asi kururama kunorwira parufu.
The treasures of lawlessness, do not profit, but, righteousness, delivereth from death.
3 Jehovha haatenderi akarurama kuti anzwe nzara, asi kupanga kwowakaipa anokusundira kure.
Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.
4 Maoko ane usimbe anoita kuti munhu ave murombo, asi maoko anoshingaira anopfumisa.
He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.
5 Anounganidza zvirimwa muzhizha, mwanakomana akachenjera, asi anorara munguva yokukohwa, mwanakomana anonyadzisa.
He that gathereth in summer, is a prudent son, he that sleepeth long in harvest, is a son causing shame.
6 Maropafadzo ndiwo korona yomusoro woakarurama, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.
Blessings, are for the head of the righteous man, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth up wrong.
7 Kuyeukwa kwowakarurama kuchava chikomborero, asi zita rowakaipa richaora.
The memory of the righteous, yieldeth blessing, but, the name of the lawless, dieth out.
8 Akachenjera pamwoyo anogamuchira mirayiro, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.
The wise in heart, will accept commandments, but, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust away.
9 Munhu akarurama anofamba akachengetedzeka, asi uyo anofamba nenzira dzakaminama achabatwa.
He that walketh uprightly, may walk securely, but, he that maketh crooked his ways, shall be found out.
10 Uyo anochonya neziso roruvengo anouyisa kusuwa, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.
He that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow, and, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust aside.
11 Muromo womunhu akarurama chitubu choupenyu, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.
A well-spring of life, is the mouth of the righteous, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth wrong.
12 Ruvengo runomutsa kupesana, asi rudo runofukidzira zvakaipa zvose.
Hatred, stirreth up strifes, but, over all transgressions, love throweth a covering.
13 Uchenjeri hunowanikwa pamiromo yavane njere, asi shamhu yakafanira musana wouyo asina njere.
In the lips of the intelligent, is found wisdom, but, a rod, is for the back of him that lacketh sense.
14 Vanhu vakachenjera vanochengeta zivo, asi muromo webenzi unotsvaka kuparara.
Wise men, treasure up knowledge, but, the mouth of the foolish, is a terror near at hand.
15 Upfumi hwavakapfuma ndiro guta ravo rina masvingo, asi urombo ndiko kuparadzwa kwavarombo.
The substance of the rich, is his strong city, the terror of the poor, is their poverty.
16 Mubayiro wavakarurama ndihwo upenyu, asi zvinowanikwa nowakaipa ndiko kurangwa.
The labour of the righteous, [leadeth] to life, the increase of the lawless, to sin.
17 Uyo anoteerera kurayira anoratidza nzira youpenyu, asi ani naani anozvidza kudzorwa anotsausa vamwe.
On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.
18 Uyo anovanza ruvengo rwake ane miromo inoreva nhema, uye ani naani anoparadzira guhwa ibenzi.
He that concealeth hatred, hath false lips, and he that sendeth forth slander, the same, is a dullard.
19 Kana mashoko ari mazhinji, chivi hachingashayikwi, asi uyo anodzora rurimi rwake akachenjera.
In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.
20 Rurimi rwakarurama isirivha yakaisvonaka, asi mwoyo wowakaipa haubatsiri chinhu.
Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.
21 Miromo yemunhu akarurama inosimbisa vazhinji, asi mapenzi anofa nokuda kwokushayiwa zivo.
The lips of the righteous, feed multitudes, but, the foolish, for lack of sense, shall die.
22 Kuropafadza kwaJehovha kunowanisa upfumi, uye haawedzeri matambudziko kwahuri.
The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.
23 Benzi rinofadzwa nokuita zvakaipa, asi munhu anonzwisisa anofarira uchenjeri.
It is, mere sport to a stupid man, to commit lewdness, but, wisdom, pertaineth to a man of understanding.
24 Zvinotyiwa nowakaipa ndizvo zvichaitika kwaari; zvinoshuviwa nowakarurama zvichapiwa kwaari.
The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.
25 Kana dutu rapfuura napo, vakaipa havazowanikwi, asi vakarurama vachamira vakasimba nokusingaperi.
Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, [hath] an age-abiding foundation.
26 Sevhiniga kumazino noutsi kumaziso, ndizvo zvakaita simbe kuna avo vachamutuma.
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so, is the sluggard, to them who send him.
27 Kutya Jehovha kunowedzera mazuva kuupenyu, asi makore owakaipa achatapudzwa.
The reverence of Yahweh, addeth days, but, the years of the lawless, shall be shortened.
28 Tarisiro yowakarurama mufaro, asi tariro dzowakaipa dzichaparadzwa.
The hope of the righteous, shall be gladness, but, the expectation of the lawless, shall vanish.
29 Nzira yaJehovha ndiyo utiziro hwavakarurama, asi ndiko kuparadzwa kwaavo vanoita zvakaipa.
A refuge for the blameless, is the path of Yahweh, but, destruction, [awaiteth] the workers of iniquity.
30 Akarurama haangatongodzurwi, asi vakaipa havangarambi vari munyika.
The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.
31 Muromo womunhu akarurama unobudisa uchenjeri, asi rurimi rwakaipa ruchabviswa.
The mouth of the righteous, beareth the fruit of wisdom, but, a perverse tongue, shall be cut off.
32 Miromo yomunhu akarurama inoziva zvakafanira, asi muromo womunhu akaipa, zvakaipa chete.
The lips of the righteous, know what is pleasing, but, the mouth of the lawless, [speaketh] perversities.
