Proverbs 27
1 Do not make a noise about tomorrow, for you are not certain what a day's outcome may be.
Ati waaʼee boriitiin hin boonin; waan guyyaan fidu hin beektuutii.
2 Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
Namni biraa si haa jaju malee ati afaan keetiin of hin jajin; namni kaan si haa jajuu malee hidhiin kee si hin jajin.
3 A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these.
Dhagaan ni ulfaata; cirrachis baʼaa dha; tuttuqaan gowwaa garuu lachuu caalaa ulfaata.
4 Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?
Dheekkamsi gara jabeessa; aariinis guutee dhangalaʼa; hinaaffaa dura garuu eenyutu dhaabachuu dandaʼa?
5 Better is open protest than love kept secret.
Jaalala dhokfamee mannaa ifannaa ifatti baʼe wayya.
6 The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false.
Madaan michuun nama madeessu amanamaa dha; dhungachuun diinaa garuu gowwoomsaa dha.
7 The full man has no use for honey, but to the man in need of food every bitter thing is sweet.
Namni quufe damma illee ni balfa; kan beelaʼe garuu wanni hadhaaʼu iyyuu itti miʼaawa.
8 Like a bird wandering from the place of her eggs is a man wandering from his station.
Namni mana isaatii badu tokko, akkuma simbirroo manʼee isheetii badduu ti.
9 Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.
Shittoo fi ixaanni garaa nama gammachiisu; gorsi michuus garaa nama ciibsa.
10 Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.
Michoota keetii fi michoota abbaa keetii hin gatin; yoo balaan sitti dhufe mana obboleessa keetii hin dhaqin; obboleessa fagoo jiru irra ollaa dhiʼoo jiru wayya.
11 My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.
Yaa ilma ko, ogeessa taʼiitii garaa koo gammachiisi; ergasii ani nama na tuffatu hundaaf deebii kennuu nan dandaʼa.
12 The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.
Namni hubataan balaa argee jalaa dhokata; wallaalaan immoo ittuma deemee adabama.
13 Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
Nama nama ormaatiif wabii taʼe irraa uffata isaa fudhadhu; yoo inni dubartii ormaatiif wabii taʼes uffata sana qabdii qabadhu.
14 He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.
Namni tokko ganamaan sagalee ol fudhatee ollaa isaa yoo eebbise wanni sun akka abaarsaatti fudhatama.
15 Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.
Niitiin nyakkiftuun, akkuma bokkaa guyyaa roobaa dhimmisaa ooluu ti;
16 He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.
ishee ittisuun akkuma bubbee ittisuu ti yookaan akkuma zayitii harkaan qabuu ti.
17 Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.
Akkuma sibiilli sibiila qaru, namni tokko nama kaan qara.
18 Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.
Namni muka harbuu eeggatu tokko ija isaa nyaata; namni gooftaa isaa eeggatus ulfina argata.
19 Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another.
Akkuma bishaan fuula namaa argisiisu sana garaan nama tokkoo eenyummaa namichaa argisiisa.
Duʼaa fi Badiisni gonkumaa hin quufan; iji namaas akkasuma. (Sheol h7585)
21 The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.
Okkoteen waa itti baqsan meetiif; boolli ibiddaa immoo warqeef; namni immoo ulfina argatuun qorama.
22 Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.
Gowwaa mooyyee keessatti yoo tumte iyyuu, akkuma midhaaniitti muka mooyyeetiin isa bulleessite iyyuu, ati gowwummaa isa irraa hin balleessitu.
23 Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;
Haala bushaayeen kee keessa jiran sirriitti beeki; loon keetiifis xiyyeeffannaa kenni;
24 For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.
soorumni bara baraan itti hin fufuutii; gonfoonis dhaloota irraa dhalootatti hin darbu.
25 The grass comes up and the young grass is seen, and the mountain plants are got in.
Yeroo okaan haamamee biqilaa haaraan jalaan biqilee margi tulluu irraa walitti qabamutti,
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:
xobbaallaawwaniin daara baata; reʼoonni immoo gatii lafa qotiisaa siif taʼu.
27 There will be goats' milk enough for your food, and for the support of your servant-girls.
Ati ofii keetii fi maatii kee, xomboreewwan kees ittiin jiraachisuuf aannan reʼootaa baayʼee ni qabaatta.
