< Proverbs 14 >
1 Wise women build houses: but a foolish one digs [hers] down with her hands.
Naag kastoo caqli lahu gurigeeday dhistaa, Laakiinse nacasaddu gacmaheeday ku dumisaa.
2 He that walks uprightly fears the Lord; but he that is perverse in his ways shall be dishonoured.
Kii qummanaantiisa ku socda ayaa Rabbiga ka cabsada, Laakiinse kii jidkiisa ku qalloocan wuu quudhsadaa isaga.
3 Out of the mouth of fools [comes] a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise preserve them.
Afka nacasyada waxaa ka soo biqla kibir; Laakiinse kuwa caqliga leh bushimahooda ayaa iyaga dhawri doona.
4 Where no oxen are, the cribs are clean; but where there is abundant produce, the strength of the ox is apparent.
Meeshii aan dibi joogin qabaalkii ay wax ka cuni jireen waa baabbah; Laakiinse kordhinta badanu waxay ku timaadaa xoogga dibiga.
5 A faithful witness does not lie; but an unjust witness kindles falsehoods.
Markhaatigii aamin ahu been ma sheego, Laakiinse markhaatigii been ahu been buu ku hadlaa.
6 You shall seek wisdom with bad men, and shall not find it; but discretion is easily available with the prudent.
Kii wax quudhsadaa xigmad buu doondoonaa, mana helo, Laakiinse aqoontu waa u fudud dahay kii waxgarasho leh.
7 All things are adverse to a foolish man; but wise lips are the weapons of discretion.
Nacaska hortiisa ka fogow, Waayo, bushimihiisa aqoon ka heli maysid.
8 The wisdom of the prudent will understand their ways; but the folly of fools leads astray.
Ninkii miyir leh xigmaddiisu waa inuu jidkiisa gartaa, Laakiinse nacasyada nacasnimadoodu waa khiyaano.
9 The houses of transgressors will need purification; but the houses of the just are acceptable.
Nacasyadu dembigay ku majaajiloodaan, Laakiinse kuwa qumman waxaa ku dhex jirta raallinimo.
10 [If] a man's mind is intelligent, his soul is sorrowful; and when he rejoices, he has no fellowship with pride.
Qalbigu qadhaadhnimadiisuu yaqaan, Oo shisheeyena farxaddiisa lama qaybsado.
11 The houses of ungodly men shall be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly shall stand.
Guriga kuwa sharka leh waa la afgembiyi doonaa, Laakiinse taambuugga kuwa qummanu waa barwaaqoobi doonaa.
12 There is a way which seems to be right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depths of hell. ()
Waxaa jirta waddo dadka la hagaagsan, Laakiinse dhammaadkeedu waa waddooyinka dhimashada.
13 Grief mingles not with mirth; and joy in the end comes to grief.
Qalbigu xataa qosol waa ku murugoodaa, Oo farxad dhammaadkeeduna waa caloolxumo.
14 A stout-hearted [man] shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man with his own thoughts.
Kii xaqnimada qalbigiisa dib ugaga noqdaa jidkiisuu ka dhergi doonaa, Oo ninkii wanaagsanuna wuxuu ka dhergi doonaa naftiisa.
15 The simple believes every word: but the prudent man betakes himself to afterthought.
Kii garaaddaranu eray kasta wuu rumaystaa, Laakiinse kii miyir lahu socodkiisa aad buu u fiiriyaa.
16 A wise man fears, and departs from evil; but the fool trusts in himself, and joins himself with the transgressor.
Ninkii caqli lahu waa cabsadaa, oo sharka wuu ka noqdaa; Laakiinse nacasku waa ciishoodaa, wuuna isku kalsoon yahay.
17 A passionate man acts inconsiderately; but a sensible man bears up under many things.
Kii degdeg u cadhoodaa nacasnimuu wax ku sameeyaa, Oo ninkii sharnimo hindisana waa la neceb yahay.
18 Fools shall have mischief for their portion; but the prudent shall take fast hold of understanding.
Garaadlaawayaashu nacasnimay dhaxlaan, Laakiinse kuwii miyir leh waxaa madaxa loo saaraa taaj aqoon ah.
19 Evil men shall fall before the good; and the ungodly shall attend at the gates of the righteous.
Kuwa sharka lahu kuwa wanaagsan hortooda ayay ku foororsadaan, Oo kuwa xunxunna waxay ku foororsadaan irdaha kuwa xaqa ah.
20 Friends will hate poor friends; but the friends of the rich are many.
Miskiinka xataa deriskiisu waa neceb yahay, Laakiinse taajirku saaxiibbo badan buu leeyahay.
21 He that dishonours the needy sins: but he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.
Kii deriskiisa quudhsadaa wuu dembaabaa, Laakiinse kii miskiinka u naxariistaa waa barakaysan yahay.
22 They that go astray devise evils: but the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: but compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.
Kuwa sharka ku fikiraa sow ma qaldamaan? Laakiinse kuwa wanaagga ku fikira waxaa u ahaan doona naxariis iyo run.
23 With every one [who is] careful there is abundance: but the pleasure-taking and indolent shall be in lack.
Hawl kasta faa'iidaa ku jirta, Laakiinse hadalka bushimuhu wuxuu keenaa caydhnimo keliya.
24 A prudent man is the crown of the wise: but the occupation of fools is evil.
Kuwa caqliga leh taajkoodu waa maalkooda, Laakiinse nacasyada nacasnimadoodu waa nacasnimo keliya.
25 A faithful witness shall deliver a soul from evil: but a deceitful [man] kindles falsehoods.
Markhaatigii run ahu nafuu samatabbixiyaa, Laakiinse kii been sheegaa waa khaayin.
26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and he leaves his children a support.
Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waxay leedahay kalsoonaan xoog leh, Oo carruurtiisuna waxay lahaan doonaan meel ay magangalaan.
27 The commandment of the Lord is a fountain of life; and it causes [men] to turn aside from the snare of death.
Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waa il nololeed, Si dabinnada dhimashada looga leexdo.
28 In a populous nation is the glory of a king: but in the failure of people is the ruin of a prince.
Sharafta boqorku waxay ku jirtaa dadka badnaantiisa, Laakiinse baabba'a amiirku wuxuu ku jiraa dadka yaraantiisa.
29 A man slow to wrath abounds in wisdom: but a man of impatient spirit is very foolish.
Kii cadhada u gaabiyaa waa garasho badan yahay; Laakiinse kii degdeg u cadhoodaa nacasnimuu sarraysiiyaa.
30 A meek-spirited man is a healer of the heart: but a sensitive heart is a corruption of the bones.
Qalbigii degganu waa nolosha jidhka, Laakiinse hinaaso waa qudhunka lafaha.
31 He that oppresses the needy provokes his Maker: but he that honours him has pity upon the poor.
Kii miskiinka dulmaa wuxuu caayaa Kan sameeyey, Laakiinse kii ka baahan u naxariistaa wuu murweeyaa.
32 The ungodly shall be driven away in his wickedness: but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.
Kii shar leh waxaa lagu afgembiyaa sharnimadiisa, Laakiinse kan xaqa ahu rajuu leeyahay markuu dhinto.
33 There is wisdom in the good heart of a man: but in the heart of fools it is not discerned.
Xigmaddu waxay taal kii garasho leh qalbigiisa, Laakiinse wixii nacasyada uurkooda ku jiraa waa ismuujiyaa.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation: but sins diminish tribes.
Xaqnimadu quruun way sarraysiisaa, Laakiinse dembigu waa u ceeb dad kasta.
35 An understanding servant is acceptable to a king; and by his good behaviour he removes disgrace.
Boqorka raallinimadiisa waxaa leh midiidinkii caqli ku shaqeeya, Laakiinse wuxuu u cadhoon doonaa kii ceeb sameeya.
