| 1 | Lalezi yizaga zikaSolomoni abantu bakaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda abazikopayo. | These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out. |
| 2 | Kuludumo lukaNkulunkulu ukufihla udaba, kodwa kuludumo lwamakhosi ukuhlolisisa udaba. | It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. |
| 3 | Amazulu ngokuphakama, lomhlaba ngokujula, lenhliziyo yamakhosi kakulakuhlolisiswa. | The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. |
| 4 | Susa amanyele esiliveni, besekuphuma isitsha somncibilikisi. | Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. |
| 5 | Susa okhohlakeleyo phambi kwenkosi, besekuqiniswa isihlalo sayo sobukhosi ngokulunga. | Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. |
| 6 | Ungaziqhenyi phambi kwenkosi, njalo ungemi endaweni yezikhulu; | Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: |
| 7 | ngoba kungcono kuthiwe kuwe: Yenyukela ngapha, kulokuthi wehliswe phambi kwesiphathamandla, amehlo akho asibonileyo. | For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. |
| 8 | Ungaphangisi ukuphuma ukuyaphikisana, hlezi wenze ulutho ekucineni kwakho, lapho umakhelwane wakho esekuyangisile. | Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. |
| 9 | Mela udaba lwakho lomakhelwane wakho, kodwa ungavezi imfihlo yomunye; | Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another: |
| 10 | hlezi okuzwayo akuyangise, lesigcono sakho singaphambuki. | Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. |
| 11 | Ilizwi elikhulunywe ngokufaneleyo linjengama-apula egolide ezitsheni zesiliva ezibaziweyo. | A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. |
| 12 | Isongo legolide lesiceciso segolide elihle kungumkhuzi ohlakaniphileyo endlebeni ezwayo. | As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. |
| 13 | Isithunywa esithembekileyo kwabasithumileyo sinjengomqando weliqhwa elikhithikileyo ngosuku lokuvuna, ngoba sivuselela umphefumulo wamakhosi aso. | As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. |
| 14 | Umuntu oziqhenya ngesipho samanga unjengamayezi lomoya okungelazulu. | Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain. |
| 15 | Ngokubekezela umbusi angavunyiswa, lolimi oluthambileyo lwephula ithambo. | By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. |
| 16 | Utholile yini uluju? Dlana okwenele wena, hlezi uludle kakhulu, uluhlanze. | Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. |
| 17 | Unyawo lwakho kalungavami endlini kamakhelwane wakho, hlezi akusuthe akuzonde. | Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. |
| 18 | Umuntu ofakaza ubufakazi bamanga ngomakhelwane wakhe uyisagila lenkemba lomtshoko obukhali. | A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. |
| 19 | Ukuthemba ongathembekanga ngosuku lokuhlupheka kunjengezinyo elephukileyo, lonyawo olwenyeleyo. | Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. |
| 20 | Ohlabelela izingoma enhliziyweni edabukileyo unjengokhupha isembatho ngosuku lwamakhaza, njengeviniga phakathi kwesoda. | As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart. |
| 21 | Uba okuzondayo elambile, umnike isinkwa adle, njalo uba omile, umnike amanzi anathe; | If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: |
| 22 | ngoba uzabekelela amalahle omlilo ekhanda lakhe, leNkosi izakuvuza. | For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. |
| 23 | Umoya wenyakatho uletha izulu, lolimi lwemfihlo ubuso obulolaka. | The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. |
| 24 | Kungcono ukuhlala engonsini yophahla kulalowesifazana wezinkani lendlini yokuhlanganyela. | It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. |
| 25 | Umbiko omuhle ovela elizweni elikhatshana unjengamanzi aqandayo emphefumulweni owomileyo. | As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. |
| 26 | Olungileyo ozanyazanyiswayo phambi kokhohlakeleyo ungumthombo odungekileyo lesiphethu esonakeleyo. | A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. |
| 27 | Ukudla uluju olunengi kakulunganga; lokuthi badinge udumo lwabo kakusidumo. | It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. |
| 28 | Umuntu ongathinti umoya wakhe unjengomuzi ofohlelweyo ongelamthangala. | He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. |
