1 Munhu anoramba akaomesa mutsipa wake mushure mokutsiurwa kazhinji achaparadzwa nokukurumidza, kusina chingamubatsira.
A man that hardeneth his necke when he is rebuked, shall suddenly be destroyed and can not be cured.
2 Kana vakarurama vachiwanda, vanhu vanofara; asi kana vakaipa vachitonga, vanhu vanogomera.
When the righteous are in authoritie, the people reioyce: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
3 Munhu anoda uchenjeri anouyisa mufaro kuna baba vake, asi anoshamwaridzana nechifeve anoparadza pfuma yake.

5 Ani naani anonyengera muvakidzani wake anodzikira tsoka dzake mumbure.

6 Munhu akaipa anoteyiwa nezvivi zvake, asi munhu akarurama anogona kuimba uye agofara.

7 Vakarurama vane hanya nokururamisirwa kwavarombo, asi vakaipa havana hanya naizvozvo.

8 Vatuki vanomutsa bope muguta, asi vanhu vakachenjera vanodzora kutsamwa.
Scornefull men bring a citie into a snare: but wise men turne away wrath.
9 Kana munhu akachenjera akaenda kumatare nebenzi, benzi rinotsamwa uye rigotuka, zvokuti hapangavi norugare.
If a wise man contend with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there is no rest.
10 Vanhu vanofarira kudeura ropa vanovenga munhu akarurama, uye vanotsvaka kuuraya vakarurama.

12 Kana mutongi akateerera nhema machinda ake ose achava akaipa.
Of a prince that hearkeneth to lyes, all his seruants are wicked.
13 Murombo nomunhu anomanikidza vakafanana pachinhu ichi: Jehovha ndiye anoita kuti meso avo vose aone.
The poore and the vsurer meete together, and the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
14 Kana mambo akatonga varombo nokururamisira, chigaro chake choushe chinogara chakachengetedzeka nguva dzose.

15 Shamhu yokuranga inopa uchenjeri, asi mwana anosiyiwa akadaro achanyadzisa mai vake.

16 Kana vakaipa vachiwanda, nezvivi zvinowandawo, asi vakarurama vachaona kuwa kwavo.

17 Ranga mwanakomana wako, ipapo achakupa rugare; achauyisa mufaro kumweya wako.
Correct thy sonne and he will giue thee rest, and will giue pleasures to thy soule.
18 Pasina chizaruro, vanhu vanoramba kuzvidzora; asi akaropafadzwa uyo anochengeta murayiro.
Where there is no vision, the people decay: but he that keepeth the Lawe, is blessed.
19 Muranda haarayirwi namashoko zvawo chete, nokuti kunyange achinzwisisa, haangadaviri.

20 Unoona here munhu anotaura achikurumidza? Benzi rine tariro zhinji kupfuura iye.

23 Kuzvikudza kwomunhu kunomudzikisira pasi, asi munhu ane mweya wokuzvininipisa achawana kukudzwa.
The pride of a man shall bring him lowe: but the humble in spirit shall enioy glory.
24 Anoshamwaridzana nembavha anozvivenga iye pachake; anoiswa pasi pemhiko, asi haangakwanisi kupa uchapupu.
He that is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: he heareth cursing, and declareth it not.
25 Kutya munhu kuchava musungo, asi ani naani anovimba naJehovha achagara akachengetedzeka.
The feare of man bringeth a snare: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shalbe exalted.
26 Vazhinji vanotsvaka nyasha kumutongi, asi kururamisirwa kwomunhu kunobva kuna Jehovha.
Many doe seeke the face of the ruler: but euery mans iudgement commeth from the Lord.
27 Vakarurama vanovenga vasina kutendeka; vakaipa vanovenga vakarurama.
A wicked man is abomination to the iust, and he that is vpright in his way, is abomination to the wicked.
