Zvirevo 11
1 Jehovha anovenga zviero zvinonyengera, asi zviero zvakakwana zvinomufadza.
A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.
2 Kana kuzvikudza kwasvika, ipapo kunyadziswa kwasvikawo, asi uchenjeri huri kune akazvininipisa.
When pride cometh, then cometh contempt, but, with the modest, is wisdom.
3 Unhu hwavakarurama hunovatungamirira, asi vasina kutendeka vanoparadzwa nokunyengera kwavo.
The integrity of the upright, shall guide them, but, the crookedness of the treacherous, shall be their ruin.
4 Pfuma haibatsiri chinhu pazuva rokutsamwa, asi kururama kunorwira parufu.
Wealth, shall not profit, in the day of wrath, but, righteousness, shall deliver from death.
5 Kururama kwavasina chavangapomerwa kunovaruramisira nzira yavo, asi vakaipa vachaparadzwa nezvakaipa zvavo.
The righteousness of the blameless, shall smooth his way, but, by his own lawlessness, shall the lawless one, fall.
6 Kururama kwavakarurama kunovarwira, asi vasina kutendeka vanosungwa nezvishuvo zvavo zvakaipa.
The righteousness of the upright, shall deliver them, but, by their own craving, shall the treacherous be captured.
7 Kana munhu akaipa afa, tariro yake yaparara; zvose zvaaitarisira kubva pasimba rake zvaparadzwa.
When the lawless man dieth, his expectation, perisheth, and, the hope of strong men, hath vanished.
8 Munhu akarurama anonunurwa kubva mudambudziko, uye rigoenda kuno munhu akaipa panzvimbo yake.
The righteous man, out of distress, is delivered, then cometh a lawless man into his place.
9 Munhu asina umwari anoparadza muvakidzani wake nomuromo wake, asi kubudikidza nezivo akarurama anopunyuka.
With the mouth, a profane man destroyeth his neighbour, but, through knowledge, shall righteous men be delivered.
10 Vakarurama pavanobudirira, guta rinofara; vakaipa pavanoparara, kupembera nomufaro zvinonzwikwa.
When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.
11 Kubudikidza nokuropafadzwa kwomunhu akarurama, guta rinosimudzirwa, asi nomuromo womunhu akaipa rinoparadzwa.
When the upright are blessed, exalted is the city, but, by the mouth of the lawless, it is overthrown.
12 Munhu anoshayiwa uchenjeri anoseka muvakidzani wake, asi munhu anonzwisisa anodzora rurimi rwake.
He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, lacketh sense, but, a man of understanding, observeth silence.
13 Guhwa rinoparadza chivimbo, asi munhu akavimbika anochengetedza zvakavanzika.
He that goeth about talebearing, revealeth a secret, but, he that is faithful in spirit, concealeth a matter.
14 Nokuda kwokushaya utungamiri rudzi runoparara, asi varayiri vazhinji vanoita kuti kukunda kuvepo.
With no guidance, a people will fall, but, safety, lieth in the greatness of the counsellor.
15 Uyo anoisira mumwe rubatso zvirokwazvo achaona nhamo, asi ani naani anoramba kumbundana maoko achiita mhiko achapona.
He that becometh surety for a stranger, goeth to utter ruin, but, he that hateth striking hands, is secure.
16 Mukadzi ane mwoyo munyoro achakudzwa, asi varume vane utsinye vachawana pfuma chete.
A gracious wife, obtaineth honour, but, the diligent, shall obtain wealth.
17 Munhu ane tsitsi anozviitira zvakanaka iye pachake, asi munhu ane utsinye anozviunzira dambudziko.
The man of lovingkindness, dealeth well with his own soul, but the cruel man, troubleth his own flesh.
18 Munhu akaipa anowana mubayiro wokunyengedzera, asi uyo anodyara kururama anokohwa mubayiro wechokwadi.
The lawless man, earneth the wages of falsehood, but, he that soweth righteousness, hath the reward of fidelity.
19 Munhu akarurama zvechokwadi anowana upenyu, asi uyo anotevera zvakaipa anoenda kurufu rwake.
A righteous son, [turneth] to life, but, he that pursueth wickedness, to his own death.
20 Jehovha anovenga vanhu vane mwoyo yakaipa, asi anofarira avo vane nzira dzisina chadzingapomerwa.
The abomination of Yahweh, are they of perverse heart, but, his delight, are the men of blameless life.
21 Zvirokwazvo akaipa acharangwa bedzi, asi vakarurama vachasunungurwa.
Hand to hand, the wicked man shall not be held innocent, but, the seed of the righteous, hath been delivered.
22 Sezvakaita mukaro wegoridhe mumhino dzenguruve, ndizvo zvakaitawo mukadzi akanaka pachiso asi asina njere.
As a ring of gold in the snout of a swine, is a woman of beauty who hath abandoned discretion.
23 Chishuvo cheakarurama chinoguma mune zvakanaka chete, asi tariro yeakaipa inogumira mukutsamwirwa.
The desire of the righteous, is only good, the expectation of the lawless, is wrath.
24 Mumwe munhu anongopa pachena, asi achitowana zvimwe zvakawanda; mumwe anonyima zvaanofanira kupa, asi agova murombo.
There is who scattereth, and increaseth yet more, and who withholdeth of what is due, only to come to want.
25 Munhu anopavhurira achabudirira; uyo anomutsiridza vamwe achamutsiridzwawo.
The liberal soul, shall be enriched, and, he that refresheth, shall himself also be refreshed.
26 Vanhu vanotuka munhu anounganidza zviyo vamwe vasina, asi mukomborero uchava korona youyo anofarira kutengesa.
He that keepeth back corn, the populace will curse him, but there is, a blessing, for the head of him that selleth.
27 Uyo anotsvaka zvakanaka achawana nyasha, asi zvakaipa zvinosvika kune uyo anozvitsvaka.
He that diligently seeketh good, aimeth at favour, but, he that studieth mischief, it shall come on himself.
28 Ani naani anovimba noupfumi hwake achawa, asi akarurama achanaka seshizha nyoro.
He that trusteth in his riches, the same, shall fall, but, like the leaf, shall the righteous break forth.
29 Uyo anouyisa dambudziko kumhuri yake achagara nhaka yemhepo chete, uye benzi richava muranda womunhu akachenjera.
He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the wind, but, a servant, shall the foolish be, to the wise in heart.
30 Chibereko chokururama ndiwo muti woupenyu, uye anotungamirira mweya yavanhu kuruponeso ndiye akachenjera.
The fruit of the righteous, is a tree of life, and, he that rescueth souls, is wise.
31 Kana vakarurama vachiwana zvakavafanira panyika, ko, kuzoti akaipa nomutadzi!
Lo! the righteous, in the earth shall be recompensed, how much more the lawless and the sinner.
