Ecclesiastes 10:20 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Usimshutumu mfalme hata ikiwa ni katika mawazo yako, au kumlaani tajiri katika chumba chako cha kulala, kwa sababu ndege wa angani wanaweza kuchukua maneno yako, naye ndege anayeruka anaweza kutoa taarifa ya yale uliyosema.
Ecclesiastes 10:20 in English
Ecclesiastes 10:20 · Berean Standard Bible
Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
Context
18Kama mtu ni mvivu paa la nyumba huinama,
kutokana na mikono milegevu, nyumba huvuja. 19Karamu hufanywa kwa ajili ya kicheko,
nao mvinyo hufurahisha maisha,
lakini fedha ni jawabu la mambo yote. 20Usimshutumu mfalme hata ikiwa ni katika mawazo yako,
au kumlaani tajiri katika chumba chako cha kulala,
kwa sababu ndege wa angani wanaweza kuchukua maneno yako,
naye ndege anayeruka anaweza kutoa taarifa ya yale uliyosema.
