< Zvirevo 4 >
1 Teererai, vanakomana vangu, kurayira kwababa venyu; nyatsoteererai mugowana kunzwisisa.
E HOOLOHE mai, e na keiki, i ke ao ana a ka makua, E haliu mai hoi e ike i ka naauao.
2 Ndinokupai dzidziso yakanaka, saka regai kurasa dzidziso yangu.
No ka mea, he ike pono ka'u e haawi aku nei ia oukou, Mai haalele oukou i ko'u kanawai.
3 Pandakanga ndiri mukomana mumba mababa vangu, ndichiri muduku uye mwana mumwe chete wamai vangu,
No ka mea, he keiki no wau a ko'u makua, He malamia, a he hanaukahi imua o ko'u makuwahine.
4 baba vangu vakandidzidzisa vachiti, “Mwoyo wako ngaubatisise mashoko angu; chengeta mirayiro yangu ugorarama.
Ao mai la oia, i mai la ia'u, E hoopaa kou naau i ka'u olelo; E malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha i ola oe.
5 Wana uchenjeri, wana kunzwisisa; usakanganwa mashoko angu kana kubva paari.
E imi i ka naauao, e imi hoi i ka ike a loaa; Mai hoopoina, mai waiho wale i na olelo a ko'u waha.
6 Usarasa uchenjeri, ipapo huchakuchengeta; hude, ihwo hugokurinda.
Mai haalele oe ia mea, a nana oe e malama mai; E aloha oe ia ia, a nana oe e kiai mai.
7 Uchenjeri chinhu chikuru; naizvozvo wana uchenjeri. Kunyange huchikutorera zvose zvaunazvo, wana kunzwisisa.
O ka naauao ka mea nui, e imi i ka naauao a loaa: Me na mea a pau au e imi ai, E imi pu i ka ike a loaa.
8 Uhukudze; ipapo huchakusimudzira; uhumbundikire, ipapo huchakukudza.
E hoonani oe ia ia, nana oe e hookiekie ae; E hoohanohano ia oe i kou wa e hoopaa aku ai ia ia
9 Huchakupfekedza chishongo chenyasha mumusoro mako, uye huchakupa korona yokubwinya.”
E haawi mai ia i lei aloha no kou poe; He lei hanohano hoi kana e haawi mai ai ia oe.
10 Teerera, mwanakomana wangu, gamuchira zvandinotaura, ipapo makore oupenyu hwako achava mazhinji.
E hoolohe mai, e kuu keiki, e hoopaa i ka'u olelo; A e nui ae hoi ia oe na makahiki o kou ola ana.
11 Ndinokudzidzisa nzira youchenjeri uye ndiri kukutungamirira panzira dzakarurama.
E ao aku au ia oe ma ka aoao naauao, E kuhikuhi hoi au ia oe ma ko ala pololei.
12 Paunofamba, tsoka dzako hadzingapinganidzwi, paunomhanya, haungagumburwi.
I kou hele ana, aole e hihia kou kapuwai; A ina o holo oe aole o hina.
13 Batisisa kurayirwa, usarega kuchienda; nyatsokurinda zvakanaka, nokuti ndihwo upenyu hwako.
E hoopaa oe i ke aoia mai, mai hookuu oe; E malama oe ia ia, no ka mea, he ola ia nou.
14 Usaisa rutsoka panzira dzavakaipa, kana kufamba panzira dzavanhu vakaipa.
Ma ke alanui o ka poe hewa, mai hele oe, Mai hele hoi ma ka aoao o ka poe hewa.
15 Udzinzvenge, usafamba padziri; tsauka padziri ugopfuurira mberi.
E haalele ia wahi, mai maalo ilaila, E huli ae mai ia wahi mai, a e hele aku.
16 Nokuti havangavati vasati vaita zvakaipa; havangabatwi nehope kusvikira vaita kuti mumwe munhu aputsike.
No ka mea, aole o lakou hiamoe, ke hana hewa ole aku; Ua lele hoi ka hiamoe, ke hoohina ole ia kekahi e lakou.
17 Vanodya zvokudya zvezvakaipa, uye vanonwa waini yezvechisimba.
No ka mea, ai lakou i ka berena no ka hewa, Inu hoi lakou i ka waina no ke kaili wale,
18 Nzira yavakarurama yakafanana nechiedza chamambakwedza, chinoramba chichiwedzera kubwinya kusvikira pachiedza chamasikati makuru.
Aka, o ke ala o ka poe pono, ua like ia me ka malamalama e aa ana, E mahuahua mau ana i ke awakea loa.
19 Asi nzira yavakaipa yakaita serima guru; havazivi zvinoita kuti vagumburwe.
O ka aoao o ka poe hewa, ua like ia me ka pouli: Aole i ike i ko lakou mea e hina ai.
20 Mwanakomana wangu, nyatsoteerera zvandinotaura; teereresa kumashoko angu.
E kuu keiki e, e haliu mai ka'u olelo, I ka'u olelo hoi o huli mai ai i ka pepeiao.
21 Usaite kuti abve pameso ako, achengete pakati pomwoyo wako;
Mai noho a nalowale ia mai kou mau maka aku; E malama oe ia iloko o kou naau.
22 nokuti upenyu kuna avo vanoawana uye noutano kumuviri wose womunhu.
No ka mea, he ola ia no na mea i loaa'i ia, He laau hoola hoi no ke kino a pau.
23 Pamusoro pazvo zvose, chengetedza mwoyo wako, nokuti ndicho chitubu choupenyu.
E kiai oe i kou naau me ka malama loa; No ka mea, noloko olaila ka waipuna o ke ola.
24 Bvisa zvinotsausa pamuromo wako; kutaura kwakaora ngakuve kure nemiromo yako.
E waiho aku oe i ku waha wahahee wale, E haalele loa hoi i na lehelehe hoopunipuni.
25 Meso ako ngaatarire mberi bedzi, ramba wakatarira mberi kwako.
I nana pono ae kou mau maka, I pololei hoi kou mau lihilihi mamua ou.
26 Gadzirira tsoka dzako gwara ugofamba munzira dzakasimba chete.
E hoopololei ae i ke ala no kou mau kapuwai, A e pololei hoi kou hele ana a pau.
27 Usatsaukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe; chengetedza rutsoka rwako kuti rusaende pane zvakaipa.
Mai huli ae oe i ka lima akau aole hoi i ka lima hema; E huli nae kou wawae mai ka hewa aku.
