Proverbs 10
1 A wise son makes [his] father glad: but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
Fakkeenyawwan Solomoon: Ilmi ogeessi abbaa isaa gammachiisa; ilmi gowwaan garuu haadha isaa gaddisiisa.
2 Treasures shall not profit the lawless: but righteousness shall deliver from death.
Qabeenyi karaa hamaadhaan horatan gatii hin qabu; qajeelummaan garuu duʼa jalaa nama baasa.
3 The Lord will not famish a righteous soul: but he will overthrow the life of the ungodly.
Waaqayyo akka warri qajeelaan beelaʼan hin eeyyamu; hawwii jalʼootaa garuu ni busheessa.
4 Poverty brings a man low: but the hands of the vigorous make rich. A son who is instructed shall be wise, and shall use the fool for a servant.
Harki hojii hin hojjenne nama hiyyoomsa; harki jabaatee hojii hojjetu garuu nama sooromsa.
5 A wise son is saved from heat: but a lawless son is blighted of the winds in harvest.
Namni yeroo bonaa midhaan walitti qabatu ilma ogeessa; kan yeroo midhaan galfamutti rafu immoo ilma nama qaanessuu dha.
6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but untimely grief shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
Eebbi mataa qajeeltotaatti gonfoo kaaʼa; afaan hamootaa irra garuu jeequmsatu lolaʼa.
7 The memory of the just is praised; but the name of the ungodly [man] is extinguished.
Yaadannoon nama qajeelaa eebba taʼa; maqaan nama hamaa garuu lafa irraa bada.
8 A wise man in heart will receive commandments; but he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
Namni garaa isaatti ogeessa taʼe ajaja fudhata; gowwaan oduu baayʼisu garuu ni bada.
9 He that walks simply, walks confidently; but he that perverts his ways shall be known.
Namni amanamaan sodaa malee deema; kan karaa isaa jalʼisu garuu ni saaxilama.
10 He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; but he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
Namni ija hamminaatiin waa namaan jedhu rakkoo uuma; gowwaan oduu baayʼisu garuu ni bada.
11 [There is] a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man; but destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
Afaan nama qajeelaa burqaa jireenyaa ti; afaan hamootaa irra garuu jeequmsatu lolaʼa.
12 Hatred stirs up strife; but affection covers all that do not love strife.
Jibbi lola kakaasa; jaalalli garuu balleessaa hunda haguuga.
13 He that brings forth wisdom from his lips smites the fool with a rod.
Ogummaan hidhii nama waa hubatuu irratti argamti; uleen immoo dirra nama hubannaa hin qabnee irra buʼa.
14 The wise will hide discretion; but the mouth of the hasty draws near to ruin.
Namoonni ogeeyyiin beekumsa kuufatu; afaan gowwaa garuu badiisa waama.
15 The wealth of rich men is a strong city; but poverty is the ruin of the ungodly.
Qabeenyi sooreyyii isaaniif magaalaa daʼoo qabduu dha; hiyyummaan garuu badiisa hiyyeeyyii ti.
16 The works of the righteous produce life; but the fruits of the ungodly [produce] sins.
Mindaan qajeeltotaa jireenya; galiin hamootaa garuu cubbuu fi duʼa.
17 Instruction keeps the right ways of life; but instruction unchastened goes astray.
Namni gorsa fudhatu karaa jireenyaa irra deema; namni adaba didu kam iyyuu garuu warra kaan karaa irraa jalʼisa.
18 Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.
Namni hidhii sobuun jibba dhokfatu, kan maqaa namaa balleessus gowwaa dha.
19 By a multitude of words thou shalt not escape sin; but if thou refrain thy lips thou wilt be prudent.
Yoo dubbiin baayʼatu, cubbuun keessaa hin dhabamu; namni arraba isaa eeggatu garuu ogeessa.
20 The tongue of the just is tried silver; but the heart of the ungodly shall fail.
Arrabni nama qajeelaa meetii filatamaa dha; garaan nama hamaa garuu faayidaa xinnoo qaba.
21 The lips of the righteous know sublime [truths]: but the foolish die in want.
Arrabni nama qajeelaa nama hedduu soora; gowwoonni garuu hubannaa dhabiisaan duʼu.
22 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches [him], and grief of heart shall not be added to [it].
Eebbi Waaqayyoo nama sooromsa; inni rakkina tokko illee itti hin dabalu.
23 A fool does mischief in sport; but wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.
Gowwaan amala hamaadhaan gammachuu argata; namni waa hubatu garuu ogummaatti gammada.
24 The ungodly is engulphed in destruction; but the desire of the righteous is acceptable.
Wanni namni hamaan sodaatu isumatti dhufa; hawwiin nama qajeelaa immoo ni guutamaaf.
25 When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes for ever.
Yeroo bubbeen hamaan bubbisu namoonni hamoon ni badu; qajeeltonni garuu bara baraan jabaatanii jiraatu.
26 As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so iniquity hurts those that practise it.
Akkuma wanni dhangaggaaʼaan ilkaan miidhee, aarris ija miidhu sana namni dhibaaʼaan warra isa ergatu miidha.
27 The fear of the Lord adds [length] of days: but the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
Waaqayyoon sodaachuun bara jireenya namaa dheeressa; umuriin nama hamaa garuu ni gabaabbata.
28 Joy rests long with the righteous: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
Abdiin nama qajeelaa gammachuu taʼa; wanni namni hamaan eeggatu garuu ni bada.
29 The fear of the Lord is a strong hold of the saints: but ruin [comes] to them that work wickedness.
Karaan Waaqayyoo nama qajeelaaf daʼoo dha; nama jalʼaaf garuu badiisa.
30 The righteous shall never fail: but the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.
Qajeeltonni yoom iyyuu hin fonqolfaman; hamoonni garuu lafa irratti hin hafan.
31 The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: but the tongue of the unjust shall perish.
Afaan nama qajeelaa ogummaa dubbata; arrabni jalʼaan garuu ni kutama.
32 The lips of just men drop grace: but the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
Arrabni nama qajeelaa waan fudhatama qabu dubbata; afaan nama hamaa garuu waan jalʼaa qofa dubbata.
