Liproverbia 28:1-28
28 Babamaswe basaba kusina yabalelekisa,Kono babalukile banani bundume sina tau.*+
2 Batu habatula* mulao mwa naha, kukabusa manduna babashutana-shutana mwa nako yekuswani,+Kono ka tuso ya muuna yanani temuho ni zibo, nduna* ukabusa nako yetelele.+
3 Mutu wa mubotana yabukula babafokola+Uswana sina pula yesinya lico kaufela.
4 Babatuhela kulatelela mulao balumbaeta babamaswe,Kono babamamela mulao bafilikanywa ki bona.+
5 Batu babamaswe habakoni kuutwisisa katulo yelukile,Kono bababata Jehova bautwisisa lika kaufela.+
6 Mubotana yazamaya ka busepahali bwahae ki yomundeKufita mufumi wa linzila zekopami.+
7 Mwana yanani kutwisiso umamela mulao,Kono mulikanaa babaca hahulu uswabisa ndatahe.+
8 Yaatisa bufumu bwahae ka kekelezo+ ni ka kuputelela babañwiUbukubukanyeza mutu yashemuba babotana.+
9 Yahana kuutwa mulao—Nihaiba tapelo yahae yanyenyisa.+
10 Yakeluseza babalukile mwa nzila yemaswe ukawela mwa musima wayepile,+Kono babasa nyazahali bakaluwa zende.+
11 Mufumi uipona kuli ubutali,+Kono mubotana yanani temuho wakona kumushungula.+
12 Babalukile habatuzi, kuba ni kanya yetuna,Kono babamaswe hababusa, batu baipata.+
13 Yapata lifoso zahae haana kukondisa,+Kono mutu kaufela yalibulela ni kulituhela ukashemubiwa.+
14 Tabo ki ya mutu yalibelela* ka nako kaufela,Kono mutu kaufela yatatafaza pilu yahae ukakena mwa ziyezi.+
15 Mubusi yamaswe yabusa batu babasa koni kuitusaUswana sina tau yehona ni bere yehalifile.+
16 Mueteleli yasina temuho uitusisa maswe maata ahae,+Kono yatoile kufumana pulofiti ka kusasepahala ukaekeza kwa bupilo bwahae.+
17 Mutu yaimezwa ki mulatu wa kusulula mali kabakala kubulaya mutu yomuñwi ukazwelapili kubaleha kufitela akena mwa libita.*+
Kusike kwaba ni mutu yaka mutusa.
18 Yazamaya asina mulatu ukapiliswa,+Kono wa linzila zekopami ukawa ka sipundumukela.+
19 Yalima simu yahae ukaba ni lico zeñata,Kono yandongwama lika zesina tuso ukakula bubotana.+
20 Mutu yasepahala ukaamuhela limbuyoti zeñata,+Kono yaakufela kufuma haana kuzwelapili asina mulatu.+
21 Haki nto yende kuketulula babañwi;+Kono mutu ukona kueza bumaswe kabakala kubata siemba sa sinkwa.
22 Mutu yanani muna* ubata hahulu bufumu,Asazibi kuli bubotana buka mukenela.
23 Mutu kaufela yafa yomuñwi nyazo+ ukashemubiwa hahulu hasamulaho+Kufita mutu yacolaula babañwi ka lulimi lwahae.
24 Mutu kaufela yauzweza ndatahe ni mahe, inzaa li: “Hakusika fosahala,”+
Ki mulikanaa sisinyi.+
25 Mutu wa mukwañuli ususueza lifapahano,Kono mutu kaufela yasepile Jehova ukakondisa.*+
26 Mutu kaufela yasepa pilu yahae ki sitoto,+Kono yazamaya ka butali ukapiliswa.+
27 Mutu kaufela yafa babotana haana sakatokwa,+Kono yakwala meeto ahae kuli asike ababona ukaatelwa ki likuto.
28 Babamaswe hababusa, batu baipata,Kono habashwa, babalukile baekezeha.+
