Proverbs 14
1 Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.
Mukadzi akachenjera anovaka imba yake, asi benzi rinoputsa imba yaro namaoko aro.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness, is one who revereth Yahweh, but, he that is crooked in his way, is one who despiseth him.
Uyo ano mufambiro wakarurama anotya Jehovha, asi uyo ano mufambiro wakatsauka anomuzvidza.
3 In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them!
Kutaura kwebenzi kunouyisa shamhu kumusana kwaro, asi miromo yavakachenjera inovadzivirira.
4 Without cattle, the crib is clean, but, much increase, is in the strength of the ox.
Kana pasina nzombe, chidyiro hachina chinhu, asi pasimba renzombe ndipo panobva kukohwa kukuru.
5 A faithful witness, will not deceive, but a false witness, uttereth deceitful things.
Chapupu chechokwadi hachinyengeri, asi chapupu chenhema chinodurura nhema.
6 A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and there is none, but, knowledge, to the discerning, is easy.
Mudadi anotsvaka uchenjeri asi anohushaya, asi ruzivo runouya zviri nyore kune anonzvera.
7 Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard, when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.
Gara kure nomunhu benzi, nokuti haungawani ruzivo kubva pamiromo yake.
8 The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.
Uchenjeri hwomunhu akangwara ndiko kunzwisisa nzira dzake, asi upenzi hwamapenzi ndihwo unyengeri.
9 the foolish, scoff at guilt, but, between the upright, is good pleasure.
Mapenzi anoseka kutendeuka pazvivi, asi kuita zvakanaka kunowanikwa pakati pavakarurama.
10 The heart, knoweth its own bitterness, and, in its joy, no stranger shareth.
Mwoyo mumwe nomumwe unoziva kutambudzika kwawo, uye hapana munhu angagoverana nawo mufaro wawo.
11 The house of the lawless, shall be destroyed, but, the tent of the upright, shall flourish.
Imba yeakaipa ichaparadzwa, asi tende rowakarurama richabudirira.
12 There is a way that enticeth a man, but, at the latter end thereof, are the ways of death!
Kune nzira inoita seyakanaka kumunhu, asi kumagumo inotungamirira kurufu.
13 Even, in laughter, the heart may be in pain, and, the latter end of gladness, be grief.
Kunyange mukuseka mwoyo unogona kurwadziwa, uye mufaro ungangoperera mukusuwa.
14 With his own ways, shall be filled the backslider in heart, and, from himself, shall a good man [be satisfied].
Vasingatendi vachapiwa mubayiro wakazara wenzira dzavo, uye munhu akanaka achapiwa mubayiro wenzira dzakewo.
15 The simple, believeth every word, but, the prudent, looketh well to his going.
Munhu asina mano anongotenda zvose zvose, asi munhu akangwara anongwarira mafambiro ake.
16 A wise man, feareth, and avoideth evil, but, a dullard, is haughty and confident.
Munhu akachenjera anotya Jehovha uye anovenga zvakaipa, asi benzi rina manyawi uye harina hanya.
17 The impatient, worketh folly, and, a man of wicked devices, is hated.
Munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoita zvinhu zvoupenzi, uye munhu anoita zvounyengeri achavengwa.
18 The simple inherit folly, but, the shrewd, crowneth himself with knowledge.
Vasina mano vachagara nhaka youpenzi, asi vakangwara vachapfekedzwa korona yezivo.
19 Abased are the wicked, before the good, and, the lawless, at the gates of the righteous.
Vanhu vakaipa vachagwadama pamberi pavakanaka, uye vakaipa pamasuo avakarurama.
20 Even by his neighbour, is a poor man hated, but, the lovers of the rich man, are many.
Varombo vanoraswa kunyange navavakidzani vavo, asi vapfumi vane shamwari zhinji.
21 He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, sinneth, but, he that sheweth favour to the afflicted, how happy is he!
Uyo anozvidza muvakidzani wake anotadza, asi akaropafadzwa ane tsitsi kune vanoshayiwa.
22 Shall they not, become vagrants, who devise evil? but, lovingkindness and faithfulness, [be to] them who devise good.
Ko, vanoronga zvakaipa havarasiki here? Asi avo vanoronga zvakanaka vanowana rudo nokutendeka.
23 By all labour, there will be abundance, but, the talk of the lips, tendeth only to want.
Kushanda nesimba kwose kunopa mubayiro, asi kungotaura kunotungamirira kuurombo bedzi.
24 the crown of the wise, is their wealth, but, the folly of dullards, is, folly.
Upfumi hwavakachenjera ikorona yavo, asi upenzi hwamapenzi hunobereka upenzi.
25 A deliverer of souls, is a faithful witness, but, he that uttereth falsehoods, is a fraud.
Chapupu chechokwadi chinoponesa upenyu, asi chapupu chenhema chinonyengera.
26 In the reverence of Yahweh, is strong security, and, his children, shall have a place of refuge.
Uyo anotya Jehovha ane nhare yakasimba, uye ichava utiziro kuvana vake.
27 The reverence of Yahweh, is a well-spring of life, that a man may avoid the snares of death.
Kutya Jehovha ndicho chitubu choupenyu, kunodzora munhu kubva pamisungo yorufu.
28 In the multitude of a people, is the majesty of the king, but, in the ceasing of population, is the ruin of the prince.
Mukuwanda kwavanhu ndimo mune ukuru hwamambo, asi pasina vanhu muchinda anoparadzwa.
29 One slow to anger, hath great understanding, but, the hasty in spirit, exalteth folly.
Munhu ane mwoyo murefu anonzwisisa, asi munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoratidza upenzi.
30 The life of the whole body, is a tranquil mind, but, a decay of the bones, is jealousy.
Mwoyo wakagadzikana unopa upenyu kumuviri, asi ruchiva runoodza mapfupa.
31 The oppressor of the poor, hath reproached his Maker, but he that sheweth favour to the needy, is one who, holdeth Him in honour.
Uyo anomanikidza varombo anoratidza kuti anozvidza Musiki wavo, asi ani naani ane hanya nevanoshayiwa anokudza Mwari.
32 By his own wickedness, shall the lawless man, be thrust down, but the righteous, seeketh refuge in his integrity.
Kana njodzi yauya, akaipa anowisirwa pasi, asi kunyange murufu akarurama ane utiziro.
33 In the heart of the intelligent, reposeth wisdom, but, in the midst of dullards, it maketh itself known.
Uchenjeri hunogara mumwoyo yavanohunzvera uye kunyange pakati pamapenzi hunozvizivisa.
34 Righteousness, exalteth a nation, but, a reproach to any people, is sin.
Kururama kunosimudzira rudzi, asi chivi chinonyadzisa vanhu vapi zvavo.
35 The good-pleasure of a king, is due to a servant who is discreet, but, his indignation, shall be against him that bringeth shame.
Mambo anofarira muranda akachenjera, asi muranda anonyadzisa achatsamwirwa naye.
