< Zvirevo 25 >
1 Izvi ndizvo zvimwe zvirevo zvaSoromoni, zvakanyorwa namachinda aHezekia mambo weJudha:
Also these ben the Parablis of Salomon, whiche the men of Ezechie, kyng of Juda, translatiden.
2 Kukudzwa kwaMwari kuviga chinhu; kunzvera nyaya ndiko kukudzwa kwamadzimambo.
The glorie of God is to hele a word; and the glorie of kyngis is to seke out a word.
3 Sokukwirira kwakaita denga nokudzika kwakaita nyika, saizvozvowo mwoyo yamadzimambo haigoni kunzverwa.
Heuene aboue, and the erthe bynethe, and the herte of kyngis is vnserchable.
4 Bvisa marara pasirivha, panobva pabuda zvinoshandiswa nomuumbi wemidziyo yesirivha;
Do thou a wei rust fro siluer, and a ful cleene vessel schal go out.
5 bvisa akaipa pamberi pamambo, ipapo chigaro chake choushe chichasimbiswa kubudikidza nokururama.
Do thou awei vnpite fro the cheer of the kyng, and his trone schal be maad stidfast bi riytfulnesse.
6 Usazvikudza pamberi pamambo, uye usazvipa chigaro pakati pavanhu vakuru;
Appere thou not gloriouse bifore the kyng, and stonde thou not in the place of grete men.
7 Zviri nani kuti ati kwauri, “Kwira pano,” pano kuti akunyadzise pamberi pavanhu vanoremekedzwa.
For it is betere, that it be seid to thee, Stie thou hidur, than that thou be maad low bifore the prince.
8 Zvawakaona nameso ako usakurumidze kuzvikwidza kumatare edzimhosva, nokuti uchazoiteiko pamagumo, kana muvakidzani wako akakunyadzisa?
Brynge thou not forth soone tho thingis in strijf, whiche thin iyen sien; lest aftirward thou maist not amende, whanne thou hast maad thi frend vnhonest.
9 Kana uchipikisana nomuvakidzani wako, usarase chivimbo chomumwe munhu,
Trete thi cause with thi frend, and schewe thou not priuyte to a straunge man;
10 kana kuti uyo achazvinzwa angangokunyadzisa, uye uchazoramba uine chimiro chakaipa.
lest perauenture he haue ioye of thi fal, whanne he hath herde, and ceesse not to do schenschipe to thee. Grace and frenschip delyueren, whiche kepe thou to thee, that thou be not maad repreuable.
11 Shoko rataurwa nenguva yakafanira rakafanana namaapuro egoridhe mumidziyo yesirivha.
A goldun pomel in beddis of siluer is he, that spekith a word in his time.
12 Semhete yomunzeve yegoridhe kana chishongo chegoridhe rakaisvonaka, ndizvo zvakaita kutsiura kwomunhu akachenjera, kunzeve inoteerera.
A goldun eere ryng, and a schinynge peerle is he, that repreueth a wijs man, and an eere obeiynge.
13 Nhume yakatendeka kune anoituma yakafanana nokutonhorera kwechando panguva yokukohwa; inonyevenutsa mweya yavanatenzi vake.
As the coold of snow in the dai of heruest, so a feithful messanger to hym that sente `thilke messanger, makith his soule to haue reste.
14 Samakore nemhepo zvisina mvura, ndizvo zvakaita munhu anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvipo zvaasingapi.
A cloude and wind, and reyn not suynge, is a gloriouse man, and not fillynge biheestis.
15 Kubudikidza nomwoyo murefu mutongi anogona kunyengetedzwa, uye rurimi runyoro runogona kuvhuna mapfupa.
A prince schal be maad soft bi pacience; and a soft tunge schal breke hardnesse.
16 Kana wawana uchi, idya hunokuringana chete, hukawandisa, ucharutsa.
Thou hast founde hony, ete thou that that suffisith to thee; lest perauenture thou be fillid, and brake it out.
17 Usanyanyoenda pamba pomuvakidzani wako, ukanyanya kuendapo, achakuvenga.
Withdrawe thi foot fro the hous of thi neiybore; lest sum tyme he be fillid, and hate thee.
18 Setsvimbo kana munondo kana museve unopinza, ndizvo zvakaita munhu anopa uchapupu hwenhema achipikisa muvakidzani wake.
A dart, and a swerd, and a scharp arowe, a man that spekith fals witnessing ayens his neiybore.
19 Sezino rakaora kana tsoka yakaremara, ndizvo zvakafanana nokuvimba nomunhu asina kutendeka panguva yokutambudzika.
A rotun tooth, and a feynt foot is he, that hopith on an vnfeithful man in the dai of angwisch,
20 Souya anokurura nguo musi unotonhora, kana sevhiniga inodururwa pasoda, ndizvo zvinoita uyo anoimbira nziyo kumwoyo wakaremerwa.
and leesith his mentil in the dai of coold. Vynegre in a vessel of salt is he, that singith songis to the worste herte. As a mouyte noieth a cloth, and a worm noieth a tree, so the sorewe of a man noieth the herte.
21 Kana muvengi wako ane nzara, mupe zvokudya adye; kana aine nyota, mupe mvura anwe.
If thin enemy hungrith, feede thou him; if he thirstith, yyue thou watir to hym to drinke;
22 Mukuita izvi, uchaunganidzira mazimbe anopisa pamusoro wake, uye Jehovha achakupa mubayiro.
for thou schalt gadere togidere coolis on his heed; and the Lord schal yelde to thee.
23 Semhepo yokumusoro inouyisa mvura, naizvozvo rurimi rwakaipa runouyisa zviso zvakashatirwa.
The north wind scatereth reynes; and a sorewful face distrieth a tunge bacbitinge.
24 Zviri nani kugara pakona redenga reimba pano kugara mumba nomudzimai anokakavara.
It is betere to sitte in the corner of an hous without roof, than with a womman ful of chidyng, and in a comyn hous.
25 Semvura inotonhorera kumweya wakaneta ndizvo zvakaita nhau dzakanaka dzinobva kunyika iri kure.
Coold watir to a thirsti man; and a good messanger fro a fer lond.
26 Sechitubu chizere madhaka kana tsime rasvibiswa, ndizvo zvakaita munhu akarurama anopa mukana kumunhu akaipa.
A welle disturblid with foot, and a veyne brokun, a iust man fallinge bifore a wickid man.
27 Hazvina kunaka kudya uchi huzhinji, kana kuti munhu azvitsvakire kukudzwa kwake iye.
As it is not good to hym that etith myche hony; so he that is a serchere of maieste, schal be put doun fro glorie.
28 Seguta rakakoromoka masvingo ndizvo zvakaita munhu asingagoni kuzvibata.
As a citee opyn, and with out cumpas of wallis; so is a man that mai not refreyne his spirit in speking.
