32 Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, teererai kwandiri; vakaropafadzwa avo vanochengeta nzira dzangu.

33 Teererai kurayira kwangu mugova vakachenjera; musakuzvidza.

34 Akaropafadzwa munhu anoteerera kwandiri, anorinda mazuva ose pamasuo angu. Anomira pamukova womusuo wangu.

35 Nokuti ani naani anondiwana anowana upenyu uye anogamuchira nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha.

36 Asi ani naani asingandiwani anozvikuvadza; vose vanondivenga vanoda rufu.”

2 Hwakabika nyama yahwo; uye hukavhenganisa waini yahwo; hwagadzirawo tafura yahwo.

3 Hwakatuma varandakadzi vahwo, uye hunodanhidzira kubva panzvimbo yakakwirira kwazvo yeguta.

4 Kuna avo vanoshayiwa njere hunoti, “Vose vasina mano ngavauye muno!

5 Uyai, mudye zvokudya zvangu munwe waini yandavhenganisa.

6 Siyai nzira dzenyu dzisina mano mugorarama; fambai munzira yokunzwisisa.

7 “Ani naani anorayira mudadi anozvitsvakira kutukwa; ani naani anotsiura munhu akaipa anozviwanira kutukwa.

8 Usatsiura mudadi kuti arege kukuvenga; tsiura munhu akachenjera uye achakuda.

9 Rayira munhu akachenjera uye achawedzera uchenjeri hwake; dzidzisa munhu akarurama uye achawedzera kudzidza kwake.

10 “Kutya Jehovha ndiwo mavambo ouchenjeri, uye kuziva Iye Mutsvene ndiko kunzwisisa.

11 Nokuti neni mazuva ako achava mazhinji, uye makore achawedzerwa kuupenyu hwako.

12 Kana uri wakachenjera, uchenjeri hwako huchakupa mubayiro; kana uri mudadi, iwe woga ndiwe uchatambura.”

13 Mukadzi benzi ane ruzha; haana kudzikama uye haana zivo.

14 Anogara pamusuo wemba yake, napachigaro chiri panzvimbo yakakwiririsa yeguta,

15 achidanidzira kuna avo vanenge vachipfuura napo, vaya vanofamba zvakarurama nenzira yavo.

16 Anoti kuna vaya vasina njere, “Vose vasina mano ngavauye muno!

17 Mvura yakabiwa inozipa; zvokudya zvinodyirwa muchivande zvinonaka!”

18 Asi zvavasingazivi ndezvokuti mune vakafa, uye kuti vashanyi vake vari mukatikati meguva.

Zvirevo zvaSoromoni

1 Zvirevo zvaSoromoni: Mwanakomana akachenjera anofadza baba vake, asi mwanakomana benzi anosuwisa mai vake.

2 Pfuma yakawanikwa zvakaipa haibatsiri chinhu, asi kururama kunorwira parufu.

3 Jehovha haatenderi akarurama kuti anzwe nzara, asi kupanga kwowakaipa anokusundira kure.

4 Maoko ane usimbe anoita kuti munhu ave murombo, asi maoko anoshingaira anopfumisa.

5 Uyo anounganidza zvirimwa muzhizha, mwanakomana akachenjera, asi uyo anorara munguva yokukohwa, mwanakomana anonyadzisa.

6 Maropafadzo ndiwo korona yomusoro woakarurama, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.

7 Kuyeukwa kwowakarurama kuchava chikomborero, asi zita rowakaipa richaora.

8 Akachenjera pamwoyo anogamuchira mirayiro, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.

9 Munhu akarurama anofamba akachengetedzeka, asi uyo anofamba nenzira dzakaminama achabatwa.

10 Uyo anochonya neziso roruvengo anouyisa kusuwa, asi benzi rinotaura zvisina maturo richaparara.

11 Muromo womunhu akururama chitubu choupenyu, asi kuita nechisimba kuzere mumuromo womunhu akaipa.

12 Ruvengo runomutsa kupesana, asi rudo runofukidzira zvakaipa zvose.

13 Uchenjeri hunowanikwa pamiromo yavane njere, asi shamhu yakafanira musana wouyo asina njere.

14 Vanhu vakachenjera vanochengeta zivo, asi muromo webenzi unotsvaka kuparara.

15 Upfumi hwavakapfuma ndiro guta ravo rina masvingo, asi urombo ndiko kuparadzwa kwavarombo.

16 Mubayiro wavakarurama ndihwo upenyu, asi zvinowanikwa nowakaipa ndiko kurangwa.

17 Uyo anoteerera kurayira anoratidza nzira youpenyu, asi ani naani anozvidza kudzorwa anotsausa vamwe.

18 Uyo anovanza ruvengo rwake ane miromo inoreva nhema, uye ani naani anoparadzira guhwa ibenzi.

19 Kana mashoko ari mazhinji, chivi hachingashayikwi, asi uyo anodzora rurimi rwake akachenjera.

20 Rurimi rwakarurama isirivha yakaisvonaka, asi mwoyo wowakaipa haubatsiri chinhu.

21 Miromo yemunhu akarurama inosimbisa vazhinji, asi mapenzi anofa nokuda kwokushayiwa zivo.

22 Kuropafadza kwaJehovha kunowanisa upfumi, uye haawedzeri matambudziko kwahuri.

23 Benzi rinofadzwa nokuita zvakaipa, asi munhu anonzwisisa anofarira uchenjeri.

24 Zvinotyiwa nowakaipa ndizvo zvichaitika kwaari; zvinoshuviwa nowakarurama zvichapiwa kwaari.

25 Kana dutu rapfuura napo, vakaipa havazowanikwi, asi vakarurama vachamira vakasimba nokusingaperi.

26 Sevhiniga kumazino noutsi kumaziso, ndizvo zvakaita simbe kuna avo vachamutuma.

27 Kutya Jehovha kunowedzera mazuva kuupenyu, asi makore owakaipa achatapudzwa.

28 Tarisiro yowakarurama mufaro, asi tariro dzowakaipa dzichaparadzwa.

29 Nzira yaJehovha ndiyo utiziro hwavakarurama, asi ndiko kuparadzwa kwaavo vanoita zvakaipa.

30 Akarurama haangatongodzurwi, asi vakaipa havangarambi vari munyika.

31 Muromo womunhu akarurama unobudisa uchenjeri, asi rurimi rwakaipa ruchabviswa.

32 Miromo yomunhu akarurama inoziva zvakafanira, asi muromo womunhu akaipa, zvakaipa chete.
