Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero
24 Usachitire nsanje anthu oyipa,
usalakalake kuti uzikhala nawo,
2 pakuti mitima yawo imalingalira chiwawa,
ndipo pakamwa pawo pamayankhula zoyambitsa mavuto.
3 Nyumba imamangidwa ndi anthu anzeru,
ndipo imakhazikika ndi anthu odziwa zinthu;
4 Munthu wodziwa zinthu angathe kudzaza zipinda zake

5 Munthu wodziwa zinthu ali ndi mphamvu yayikulu kuposa munthu wanyonga zambiri,
ndipo munthu wachidziwitso amaposa munthu wamphamvu.
6 Pafunika malangizo kuti ukamenye nkhondo.
Pakakhala aphungu ambiri kupambana kumakhalapo.
7 Nzeru ndi chinthu chapatali kwambiri kwa chitsiru;
chilibe choti chiyankhule pabwalo la milandu pa chipata.
8 Amene amakonzekera kuchita zoyipa
adzatchedwa mvundulamadzi.
9 Kukonzekera kuchita za uchitsiru ndi tchimo,
ndipo munthu wonyoza amanyansa anthu.
10 Ngati utaya mtima nthawi ya mavuto ndiye kuti
mphamvu yako ndi yochepadi!
11 Uwapulumutse amene akutengedwa kuti akaphedwe;
uwalanditse amene akuyenda movutika kupita kokaphedwa.
12 Ukanena kuti, “Koma ife sitinadziwe kanthu za izi,”
kodi Iye amene amasanthula mtima sazindikira zimenezi?
Kodi Iye amene amateteza moyo wako sazidziwa zimenezi?
Kodi Iye sadzalipira munthu malingana ndi ntchito zake?
13 Mwana wanga, uzidya uchi popeza ndi wabwino;
uchi wochokera mʼchisa cha njuchi ndi wokoma ukawulawa.
14 Udziwe kuti nzeru ndi yoteronso pa moyo wako;
ngati uyipeza nzeruyo, zinthu zidzakuyendera bwino mʼtsogolo,

15 Usachite zachifwamba nyumba ya munthu wolungama ngati munthu woyipa.
Usachite nayo nkhondo nyumba yake;
16 paja munthu wolungama akagwa kasanu nʼkawiri amadzukiriranso.
Koma woyipa adzathedwa tsoka likadzawafikira.
17 Usamakondwera ndi kugwa kwa mdani wako.
Mtima wako usamasangalale iye akapunthwa.
18 Kuopa kuti Yehova ataziona zimenezi nayipidwa nazo,
angaleke kukwiyira mdaniyo.
19 Usavutike mtima chifukwa cha anthu ochita zoyipa
kapena kuchitira nsanje anthu oyipa,
20 paja munthu woyipa alibe tsogolo.
Moyo wa anthu oyipa adzawuzimitsa ngati nyale.
21 Mwana wanga, uziopa Yehova ndi mfumu,
ndipo usamagwirizana ndi anthu owachitira mwano,
22 awiri amenewa amagwetsa tsoka mwadzidzidzi.
Ndani angadziwe mavuto amene angagwetse?
Malangizo Enanso a Anthu Anzeru
23 Malangizo enanso a anthu anzeru ndi awa:
Kukondera poweruza mlandu si chinthu chabwino:
24 Aliyense amene amawuza munthu wolakwa kuti, “Iwe ndi munthu wosalakwa,”
anthu a mitundu yonse adzamutemberera, ndi mitundu ya anthu idzayipidwa naye.
25 Koma olanga anthu oyipa zinthu zidzawayendera bwino
ndipo madalitso ochuluka adzakhala pa iwo.
26 Woyankhula mawu owona
ndiye amaonetsa chibwenzi chenicheni.
27 Ugwiriretu ntchito zako zonse,
makamaka za ku munda
ndipo pambuyo pake uyambe kumanga nyumba.
28 Usakhale mboni yotsutsa mnzako popanda chifukwa,
kapena kugwiritsa ntchito pakamwa pako kunena zachinyengo.
29 Usanene kuti, “Ine ndidzamuchitira iye monga momwe wandichitira ine;
ndidzamubwezera munthu ameneyo zimene anandichitira.”
30 Ndinkayenda mʼmbali mwa munda wa munthu waulesi
ndinadutsa munda wamphesa wa munthu wopanda nzeru.
31 Ndinapeza kuti paliponse mʼmundamo munali mutamera minga,
mʼnthaka imeneyo munali mutamera khwisa,
ndipo mpanda wake wamiyala unali utawonongeka.
32 Tsono nditaona ndinayamba kuganizira mu mtima mwanga
ndipo ndinatolapo phunziro ili:
33 Ukati, “Bwanji ndigone pangʼono,” kapena “Ndiwodzereko pangʼono,”
kapenanso “Ndipinde manja pangʼono kuti ndipumule,”
34 umphawi udzafika pa iwe ngati mbala
ndipo usiwa udzakupeza ngati munthu wachifwamba.
Proverbs 24

Proverbs 24
New International Version
Saying 20
24 Do not envy(A) the wicked,
do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence,(B)
and their lips talk about making trouble.(C)
Saying 21
3 By wisdom a house is built,(D)
and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.(E)
Saying 22
5 The wise prevail through great power,
and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war,
and victory is won through many advisers.(F)
Saying 23
7 Wisdom is too high for fools;
in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
Saying 24
8 Whoever plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin,
and people detest a mocker.
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!(G)
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.(H)
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs(I) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay(J) everyone according to what they have done?(K)
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.(L)
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.(M)
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat(N) when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,(O)
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.(P)
Saying 29
19 Do not fret(Q) because of evildoers
or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope,
and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.(R)
Saying 30
21 Fear the Lord and the king,(S) my son,
and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction(T) on them,
and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:(U)
To show partiality(V) in judging is not good:(W)
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”(X)
will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause(Y)—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”(Z)
30 I went past the field of a sluggard,(AA)
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(AB)—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.(AC)
Proverbs 24
King James Version
Proverbs 24
King James Version
24 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
