Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Usazvirumbidza pamusoro pezuva ramangwana, nokuti hauzivi zvingauyiswa nezuva.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thy own mouth; a stranger, and not thy own lips.
Rega mumwe akurumbidze, kwete muromo wako; mumwe munhuwo zvake, kwete miromo yako iwe.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than both.
Ibwe rinorema uye jecha mutoro, asi kudenhwa nebenzi kunorema kupfuura zvose.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
Hasha dzine utsinye uye kutsamwa kunokurira, asi ndiani angamira pamberi pomunhu ane godo?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Kutsiurwa pachena kuri nani pane rudo rwakavanzika.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Maronda okukuvadzwa neshamwari anogamuchirika, asi kutsvoda kwomuvengi kunonyengera.
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
Uyo akaguta anovenga uchi, asi kune ane nzara kunyange zvinovava zvinozipa.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
Seshiri inorasika kubva padendere rayo, ndizvo zvakaita munhu anorasika kubva pamusha wake.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
Mafuta nezvinonhuhwira zvinouyisa mufaro kumwoyo, uye kunaka kwoushamwari kunobva padzidziso dzake dzakanaka.
10 Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
Usarasa shamwari yako kana shamwari yababa vako, uye usangoenda kumba yehama yako kana wawirwa nedambudziko chete, muvakidzani ari pedyo ari nani kupfuura hama iri kure.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
Iva wakachenjera, mwanakomana wangu, ugofadza mwoyo wangu; ipapo ndichagona kupindura ani naani anondishora.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Munhu akangwara anoona njodzi agovanda, asi asina mano anoramba achienda uye agokuvadzwa nayo.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for adulteress.
Torera nguo uyo anozviita rubatso kumutorwa; uitore semhiko kana achinge aiita rubatso kumukadzi asingazvibati.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
Kana munhu akafumira rungwanangwana kukwazisa muvakidzani wake achidaidzirisa zvichaonekwa sechituko.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
Mudzimai anokakavara akafanana nemvura inoramba ichidonha-donha mushure mokunge kwanaya;
16 Whoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which betrayeth itself.
kumudzivisa zvakafanana nokudzivisa mhepo, kana kuchingidzira mafuta noruoko.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Simbi inorodza simbi, saizvozvowo mumwe munhu anorodza mumwe.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit of it: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
Uyo anochengeta muonde achadya zvibereko zvawo, uye uyo anochengeta tenzi wake achakudzwa.
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
Sezvo mvura ichiratidza chiso, saizvozvowo mwoyo womunhu unoratidza munhu.
Rufu nokuparadza hazvimboguti, kunyangewo maziso omunhu haaguti. (Sheol h7585)
21 As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
Hari ndeyokunyautsira sirivha uye choto ndechokunatsa goridhe, asi munhu anoedzwa nerumbidzo yaanowana.
22 Though thou shouldest crush a fool in a mortar among grain with a pestle, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
Kunyange ukatswa benzi muduri, kumutswa sezviyo nomutswi, haungabvisi upenzi hwake maari.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
Iva nechokwadi kuti unoziva mamiriro amakwai ako, uchengete zvakanaka mapoka ako;
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
nokuti pfuma haigari nokusingaperi, uye korona haigari kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.
25 The plant appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
Kana uswa hukabviswa, uye bumhudza rikabuda, nesora rikaunganidzwa kubva kuzvikomo,
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
makwayana achakuwanisa zvokupfeka, uye mbudzi nomutengo womunda.
27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for maintenance for thy maidens.
Uchava nomukaka wembudzi wakawanda wokudya iwe nemhuri yako, uye wokuraramisa varandakadzi vako.
