Proverbs 26 (BOKCV)
1 Kama theluji wakati wa kiangazi au mvua wakati wa mavuno,ndivyo asivyostahili heshima mpumbavu. 2 Kama shomoro apigapigavyo mabawa yakeau mbayuwayu katika kuruka kwake kasi,ndivyo ilivyo laana isiyo na sababu haimpati mtu. 3 Mjeledi kwa farasi, lijamu kwa punda,nayo fimbo kwa migongo ya wapumbavu! 4 Usimjibu mpumbavu sawasawa na upumbavu wake,ama wewe mwenyewe utakuwa kama yeye. 5 Mjibu mpumbavu sawasawa na upumbavu wake,ama atakuwa mwenye hekima machoni pake mwenyewe. 6 Kama vile ilivyo kujikata miguu au kunywa hasara,ndivyo ilivyo kutuma ujumbe kwa mkono wa mpumbavu. 7 Kama miguu ya kiwete inavyoningʼiniandivyo ilivyo mithali katika kinywa cha mpumbavu. 8 Kama kufunga jiwe kwenye kombeo,ndivyo ilivyo kumpa mpumbavu heshima. 9 Kama mwiba kwenye mkono wa mlevindivyo ilivyo mithali kinywani mwa mpumbavu. 10 Kama mpiga upinde ambaye hujeruhi ovyo,ndivyo alivyo yeye aajiriye mpumbavu au yeyote apitaye njiani. 11 Kama mbwa ayarudiavyo matapiko yake,ndivyo mpumbavu arudiavyo upumbavu wake. 12 Je, unamwona mtu ajionaye mwenye hekimamachoni pake mwenyewe?Liko tumaini zaidi kwa mpumbavu kuliko kwake. 13 Mvivu husema, “Yuko simba barabarani,simba mkali anazunguka mitaa!” 14 Kama vile mlango ugeukavyo kwenye bawaba zake,ndivyo mvivu ajigeuzavyo kitandani mwake. 15 Mtu mvivu hutumbukiza mkono wake kwenye sahani,naye huchoka kuupeleka kwenye kinywa chake. 16 Mtu mvivu ni mwenye hekima machoni pake mwenyewe,kuliko watu saba wawezao kujibu kwa busara. 17 Kama yeye amkamataye mbwa kwa masikio,ndivyo alivyo mtu apitaye njiani na kujiingiza kwenye ugomvi usiomhusu. 18 Kama mtu mwendawazimuatupaye vijinga vya moto au mishale ya kufisha, 19 ndivyo alivyo mtu amdanganyaye jirani yake na kusema,“Nilikuwa nikifanya mzaha tu!” 20 Bila kuni moto huzimika;pasipo uchongezi ugomvi humalizika. 21 Kama makaa juu ya makaa yanayowaka, na kama kuni kwenye moto,ndivyo alivyo mtu mgomvi kwa kuchochea ugomvi. 22 Maneno ya mchongezi ni kama chakula kitamu;huingia sehemu za ndani sana za mtu. 23 Kama rangi ingʼaayo iliyopakwa kwenye vyombo vya udongondivyo ilivyo midomo laini pamoja na moyo mbaya. 24 Mtu mwenye nia ya kudhuru wengine hujificha kwa maneno ya midomo yake,lakini moyoni mwake huficha udanganyifu. 25 Ingawa maneno yake huvutia, usimwamini,kwa maana machukizo saba hujaza moyo wake. 26 Nia yake ya kudhuru wengine inaweza kufichwa na udanganyifu,lakini uovu wake utafichuliwa kwenye kusanyiko. 27 Kama mtu akichimba shimo, atatumbukia ndani yake,kama mtu akivingirisha jiwe, litamrudia. 28 Ulimi wa uongo, huwachukia wale unaowaumiza,nacho kinywa cha kujipendekeza hutenda uharibifu.
