Zvirevo 13
1 Mwanakomana akachenjera anoteerera kurayira kwababa vake, asi mudadi haateereri kana achitsiurwa.
A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
2 Kubva pazvibereko zvomuromo wake munhu achadya zvinhu zvakanaka, asi vasina kutendeka vanofarira kumanikidza.
A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
3 Uyo anobata muromo wake anochengeta upenyu hwake, asi uyo anokurumidzira kutaura achaparadzwa.
Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
4 Simbe inopanga asi igoshayiwa chinhu, asi zvishuvo zvavanoshingaira zvichazadziswa.
The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
5 Vakarurama vanovenga nhema, asi vakaipa vanouyisa kunyadziswa nokunyangadza.
A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
6 Kururama kunorinda munhu ane unhu hwakanaka, asi kuipa kunowisira mutadzi pasi.
Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
7 Mumwe munhu anozviti mupfumi, asi asina chinhu; mumwewo anozviti murombo, asi aine upfumi huzhinji.
There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
8 Upfumi hwomunhu hunogona kudzikinura upenyu hwake, asi murombo haana chinomutyisidzira.
A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
9 Chiedza cheakarurama chinopenya kwazvo; asi mwenje woakaipa uchadzimwa.
The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Kuzvikudza kunongouyisa kukakavara chete, asi uchenjeri hunowanikwa mune avo vanogamuchira kurayirwa.
Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
11 Mari yakawanikwa zvisakarurama ichakurumidza kupera, asi uyo anounganidza mari zvishoma nezvishoma achaita kuti iwande.
The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
12 Tariro kana ichinonoka inoodza mwoyo, asi chishuvo chazadziswa muti woupenyu.
The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
13 Uyo anozvidza kurayirwa achazozviripira izvozvo, asi uyo anokudza murayiro achawana mubayiro.
He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
14 Kudzidzisa kwowakachenjera itsime roupenyu, rinobvisa munhu pamusungo worufu.
The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
15 Kunzwisisa kwakanaka kunowanisa nyasha, asi nzira yavasina kutendeka ihukutu.
Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
16 Munhu wose akachenjera anoita zvinhu noruzivo, asi benzi rinoratidza upenzi hwaro.
Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
17 Nhume yakaipa inowira munjodzi, asi munyai akatendeka anouya nokuporesa.
A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
18 Uyo anozvidza kurayirwa achava murombo uye achanyadziswa, asi ani naani anoteerera kurayirwa achakudzwa.
Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
19 Chishuvo chazadziswa chinozipa pamweya, asi mapenzi anovenga kusiya zvakaipa.
A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
20 Uyo anofamba navakachenjera achachenjerawo, asi shamwari yamapenzi ichakuvadzwa.
He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
21 Zvakaipa zvinotevera mutadzi, asi kubudirira ndiwo mugove wavakarurama.
Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
22 Munhu akanaka anosiyira vana vevana vake nhaka, asi upfumi hwomutadzi hunounganidzirwa vakarurama.
The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
23 Munda womurombo ungabereka zvokudya zvakawanda, asi kusaruramisira kunozvitsvairira kure.
Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
24 Anorega kushandisa shamhu anovenga mwanakomana wake, asi uyo anomuda anochenjerera kumuranga.
He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
25 Vakarurama vanodya zvinogutsa mwoyo yavo, asi dumbu reakaipa richanzwa nzara.
The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
