Kilichotarajiwa kikikawia kuja moyo huugua, bali tumaini lililotimizwa ni mti wa uzima.
Proverbs 13:12 in English
Proverbs 13:12 · Berean Standard Bible
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Context
10Kiburi huzalisha magomvi tu,
bali hekima hupatikana kwa wale wanaozingatia ushauri. 11Fedha isiyo ya halali hupungua,
bali yeye akusanyaye fedha kidogo kidogo huongezeka. 12Kilichotarajiwa kikikawia kuja moyo huugua,
bali tumaini lililotimizwa ni mti wa uzima. 13Yeye anayedharau mafundisho anajiletea maangamizi,
bali yeye anayeheshimu agizo hupewa tuzo. 14Mafundisho ya mwenye busara ni chemchemi ya uzima,
ili kumwepusha mtu na mitego ya mauti.
