| 1 | Impukane ezifileyo zinukisa zibilise amagcobo omthaki; ubuthutha obuncinyane benza njalo kohloniphekayo ngenxa yenhlakanipho lodumo. | Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. |
| 2 | Inhliziyo yohlakaniphileyo ingakwesokunene sakhe, kodwa inhliziyo yesithutha ingakwesokhohlo saso. | A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left. |
| 3 | Yebo-ke lapho oyisithutha ehamba endleleni, ingqondo yakhe iyasilela, uthi kuye wonke uyisithutha. | Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. |
| 4 | Uba umoya wombusi ukuvukela, ungatshiyi indawo yakho, ngoba ukuthobeka kuyathulisa iziphambeko ezinkulu. | If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. |
| 5 | Kulobubi engibubone ngaphansi kwelanga, njengesiphosiso esiphuma ebusweni bombusi: | There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: |
| 6 | Ubuwula bubekwa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo kakhulu, labanothileyo bahlala endaweni ephansi. | Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. |
| 7 | Ngibonile izigqili zigade amabhiza, leziphathamandla zihamba njengezigqili emhlabeni. | I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. |
| 8 | Ogebha umgodi uzawela kuwo; lodiliza umthangala, inyoka izamluma. | He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. |
| 9 | Osusa amatshe uzalinyazwa yiwo; obanda izigodo uzakuba sengozini ngazo. | Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. |
| 10 | Uba insimbi ibuthundu njalo engaloli ubukhali, ngakho ufanele engezelele amandla; kodwa inhlakanipho yinhle ukulungisa. | If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. |
| 11 | Uba inyoka iluma kungelakulunjwa, kakulanzuzo kungcitshi yolimi. | Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. |
| 12 | Amazwi omlomo ohlakaniphileyo alomusa, kodwa indebe zesithutha ziyasiginya. | The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. |
| 13 | Ukuqala kwamazwi omlomo waso kuyibuthutha, lokucina kwenkulumo yaso kuyibuhlanya obubi, | The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. |
| 14 | njalo isithutha sandisa amazwi. Umuntu kazi okuzakuba khona; lalokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe, ngubani ongamtshela khona? | A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? |
| 15 | Umtshikatshika wesithuthandini uyasidinisa, ngoba kasazi ukuya emzini. | The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. |
| 16 | Maye kuwe, lizwe, onkosi yakho ingumntwana, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ekuseni! | Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! |
| 17 | Ubusisiwe, lizwe, onkosi yakho iyindodana yabakhulu, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo, zidlela ukuqina, hatshi ukudakwa. | Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! |
| 18 | Ngobuvila obukhulu intungo ziyabhensa, langokuyekethisa izandla indlu iyanethela. | By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. |
| 19 | Idili lenzelwa uhleko, lewayini lithokozisa impilo; kodwa imali iyimpendulo yakho konke. | A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. |
| 20 | Lemcabangweni wakho ungayithuki inkosi, lekamelweni lakho lokulala ungamthuki onothileyo; ngoba inyoni yamazulu izathwala ilizwi, lokulamaphiko kubike udaba. | Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. |
