Zvirevo 18 - Shona Bible 1949, revised 2002（SNA2002）

1Anozviparadzanisa navamwe,

anongotsvaka kuda kwake,

Anorwa nohuchenjeri hwose kwahwo.

2Benzi harifariri kunzwisisa,

Asi kuti mwoyo waro ufukurwe.

3Kana akaipa achisvika, kuzvidza kwasvikawo;

Pamwechete nezvinonyadzisa, kushora kunouyawo.

4Mashoko omuromo womunhu akaita

semvura yakadzika;

Sorukova runoyerera, setsime rouchenjeri.

5Kutsaura akaipa hazvina kunaka;

Kana kuramba akarurama pakutonga.

6Miromo yebenzi inouyisa kukakavara;

Muromo waro unodana kurohwa.

7Muromo webenzi ndiko kuparadzwa kwaro;

Miromo yaro musungo womweya waro.

8Mashoko omucheri akaita sezvimedu zvinozipa,

Zvinoburukira mukati-kati momuviri.

9Naiye ane usimbe pakubata kwake,

Munun'una womuparadzi.

10Zita raJehovha inhare yakasimba;

Wakarurama anovangiramo ndokuchengetwa.

11Pfuma yomupfumi ndiwo musha wake wakasimba,

Uye sorusvingo rurefu pakufunga kwake.

12Mwoyo womunhu anozvikudza kuparadzwa kusati kwasvika;

Kuzvininipisa kunotangira kukudzwa.

13Anopindura asati anzwa,

Zvichava kwaari upenzi nokunyadziswa.

14Mweya womunhu unomusimbisa

pakurwara kwake;

Asi mweya wakaputsika ungamutswa nani?

15Mwoyo wowakachenjera unowana zivo;

Nzeve yowakachenjera inotsvaka zivo.

16Chipo chomunhu chinomuwanira nzvimbo,

Chinomuisa pamberi pavakuru.

17Anotanga kutambirwa mhaka yake

anenge akarurama;

Asi wokwake anosvika womuferefeta.

18Mijenya inogumisa kukakavara;

Inotema chirevo pakati pavane simba.

19Hama yatadzirwa inopfuura guta rakasimba;

Kukakavara kwakafanana nezvipfigiso zveimba yamambo.

20Dumbu romunhu rinogutiswa nezvibereko zvomuromo wake;

Achagutiswa nezvakawanda zvemiromo yake.

21Rurimi rune simba pamusoro porufu noupenyu;

Vanoruda vachadya zvibereko zvarwo.

22Awana mukadzi awana chinhu chakanaka,

Avigirwa nyasha yaJehovha.

23Murombo anokumbira achinyengetera;

Asi mupfumi anopindura nehasha.

24Munhu ane shamwari zhinji anoparadzwa;

Asi shamwari iriko inonamatira kupfuura hama.
