Zvirevo 5
1 Mwanakomana wangu, nyatsoteerera kuuchenjeri hwangu, teereresa kumashoko angu oungwaru,

To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.
3 Nokuti miromo yomukadzi chifeve inodonha uchi, nomutauriro wake unotedza kupfuura mafuta;

8 Fambai nenzira iri kure naye, musasvika pedyo nomusuo wemba yake,
Make far away from with her way your and may not you draw near to [the] entrance of house her.
9 kuti murege kupa vamwe zvakanaka zvesimba renyu, uye namakore enyu kuno uyo ane utsinye,

11 Pakupedzisira kwoupenyu hwako uchagomera, kana nyama nomuviri wako zvaparadzwa.
And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.
12 Uchazoti, “Mavengero andaiita kurayirwa! Mashorero aiita mwoyo wangu kudzorwa!
And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.
13 Ndakanga ndisingateereri vadzidzisi vangu, kana kunzwa varairidzi vangu.
And not I listened to [the] voice of instructor my and to teachers my not I inclined ear my.
14 Ndasvika pakuparara chaiko pakati peungano yose.”
Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.
15 Inwa mvura pachirongo chako chaicho, mvura inoerera patsime rako chairo.

A doe of loves and a goat of grace breasts her may they satisfy you at every time by love her may you be intoxicated continually.
20 Unosungirweiko, mwanakomana wangu, nomukadzi chifeve? Unombundikirireiko chipfuva chomukadzi womumwe murume?
And why? will you go astray O son my with a strange [woman] may you embrace? [the] bosom of a foreign [woman].
21 Nokuti nzira dzomunhu dziri pachena pamberi paJehovha, uye anoongorora nzira dzake dzose.
For before - [the] eyes of Yahweh [the] ways of a person and all tracks his [he is] making level.
22 Zviito zvakaipa zvomunhu akaipa zvichamusunga; tambo dzechivi chake dzichamubata iye kwazvo.
Iniquities his they will seize him the wicked [person] and by [the] cords of sin his he will be held.
