Zvirevo 10
1 Zvirevo zvaSoromoni: Mwanakomana akachenjera anofadza baba vake, asi mwanakomana benzi anosuwisa mai vake.
Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
2 Pfuma yakawanikwa zvakaipa haibatsiri chinhu, asi kururama kunorwira parufu.
Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
3 Jehovha haatenderi akarurama kuti anzwe nzara, asi kupanga kwowakaipa anokusundira kure.
Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
4 Maoko ane usimbe anoita kuti munhu ave murombo, asi maoko anoshingaira anopfumisa.
Poor [is] he who is working — a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5 Anounganidza zvirimwa muzhizha, mwanakomana akachenjera, asi anorara munguva yokukohwa, mwanakomana anonyadzisa.
Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping 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, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
7 Kuyeukwa kwowakarurama kuchava chikomborero, asi zita rowakaipa richaora.
The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.
8 Akachenjera pamwoyo anogamuchira mirayiro, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.
The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.
9 Munhu akarurama anofamba akachengetedzeka, asi uyo anofamba nenzira dzakaminama achabatwa.
Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.
10 Uyo anochonya neziso roruvengo anouyisa kusuwa, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.
Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
11 Muromo womunhu akarurama chitubu choupenyu, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.
A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
12 Ruvengo runomutsa kupesana, asi rudo runofukidzira zvakaipa zvose.
Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.
13 Uchenjeri hunowanikwa pamiromo yavane njere, asi shamhu yakafanira musana wouyo asina njere.
In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
14 Vanhu vakachenjera vanochengeta zivo, asi muromo webenzi unotsvaka kuparara.
The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
15 Upfumi hwavakapfuma ndiro guta ravo rina masvingo, asi urombo ndiko kuparadzwa kwavarombo.
The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
16 Mubayiro wavakarurama ndihwo upenyu, asi zvinowanikwa nowakaipa ndiko kurangwa.
The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
17 Uyo anoteerera kurayira anoratidza nzira youpenyu, asi ani naani anozvidza kudzorwa anotsausa vamwe.
A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
18 Uyo anovanza ruvengo rwake ane miromo inoreva nhema, uye ani naani anoparadzira guhwa ibenzi.
Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
19 Kana mashoko ari mazhinji, chivi hachingashayikwi, asi uyo anodzora rurimi rwake akachenjera.
In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.
20 Rurimi rwakarurama isirivha yakaisvonaka, asi mwoyo wowakaipa haubatsiri chinhu.
The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.
21 Miromo yemunhu akarurama inosimbisa vazhinji, asi mapenzi anofa nokuda kwokushayiwa zivo.
The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
22 Kuropafadza kwaJehovha kunowanisa upfumi, uye haawedzeri matambudziko kwahuri.
The blessing of Jehovah — it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
23 Benzi rinofadzwa nokuita zvakaipa, asi munhu anonzwisisa anofarira uchenjeri.
To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
24 Zvinotyiwa nowakaipa ndizvo zvichaitika kwaari; zvinoshuviwa nowakarurama zvichapiwa kwaari.
The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
25 Kana dutu rapfuura napo, vakaipa havazowanikwi, asi vakarurama vachamira vakasimba nokusingaperi.
As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.
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 slothful to those sending him.
27 Kutya Jehovha kunowedzera mazuva kuupenyu, asi makore owakaipa achatapudzwa.
The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
28 Tarisiro yowakarurama mufaro, asi tariro dzowakaipa dzichaparadzwa.
The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth.
29 Nzira yaJehovha ndiyo utiziro hwavakarurama, asi ndiko kuparadzwa kwaavo vanoita zvakaipa.
The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
30 Akarurama haangatongodzurwi, asi vakaipa havangarambi vari munyika.
The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.
31 Muromo womunhu akarurama unobudisa uchenjeri, asi rurimi rwakaipa ruchabviswa.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.
32 Miromo yomunhu akarurama inoziva zvakafanira, asi muromo womunhu akaipa, zvakaipa chete.
The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
