Ecclesiastes 10
1 Dying flies spoil the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a small and shortlived folly.
Diqsiyadii dhintay saliidda cadarsameeyaha way qudhmiyaan, oo nacasnimadii yaruna saasoo kalay kan xigmadda loo sharfo u bi'isaa.
2 The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand.
Ninkii xigmad leh qalbigiisu xagga midigtuu u jeedaa, laakiinse nacaska qalbigiisu xagga bidixduu u jeedaa.
3 Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas be himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.
Oo weliba kan nacaska ahu markuu jidka marayo wuu caqli yaraadaa, oo ku alla kii uu arkaba wuxuu u sheegaa inuu nacas yahay.
4 If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease.
Haddii taliyahu kugu dhirfo, meeshaada ha ka dhaqaaqin, waayo, qalbiqabowgu xumaano waaweyn wuu qabowjiyaa.
5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince:
Waxaa jira wax shar ah oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, waxaana weeye qalad taliyaha ka yimaada.
6 A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath.
Nacasnimadu waxay joogtaa meelo sarsare oo waaweyn oo taajiriintuna waxay fadhiyaan meel hoose.
7 I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants.
Waxaan arkay addoommo fardo fuushan, iyo amiirro sida addoommo oo kale lugaynaya.
8 He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Kii god qodaa isagaa ku dhici doona, oo ku alla kii deyr dumiyana abeesaa qaniini doonta.
9 He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them.
Ku alla kii dhagaxyo rujiyaaba wuu ku dhaawacmi doonaa, oo kii qoryo jejebiyaana isagaa khatar ku geli doona.
10 If the iron be blunt, and be not as before, but be made blunt, with much labour it shall be sharpened: and after industry shall follow wisdom.
Haddii birtu af beesho, oo aan la soofayn, waa in xoog badan lagu sii kordhiyaa, laakiinse xigmaddu faa'iido bay leedahay si loogu liibaano.
11 If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly.
Haddii abeeso wax qaniinto iyadoo aan la falfalin, markaas ka dib falfalowgu waxtar ma leh.
12 The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.
Kii xigmad leh erayada afkiisu waa raxmad miidhan, laakiinse bushimaha nacasku isaga qudhiisay baabbi'iyaan.
13 The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.
Erayada afkiisa bilowgoodu waa nacasnimo, oo dhammaadka hadalkiisuna waa waalli baas.
14 A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Nacasku hadalkiisa wuu badiyaa, waxa ahaan doona binu-aadmigu garan maayo, oo waxa dabadiis dhici doonana bal yaa u sheegi kara?
15 The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not bow to go to the city.
Nacasyada hawshoodu midkood kastaba way daalisaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu xataa sida magaalada loo tago ma yaqaan.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and when the princes eat in the morning.
Dalkow, adaa iska hoogay, markii boqorkaagu ilmo yar yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay aroortii wax cunaan!
17 Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, and whose princes eat in due season for refreshment, and not for riotousness.
Dalkow, waad barakaysan tahay, markii boqorkaagu nin gobeed yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay wakhti habboon wax u cunaan inay xoog ku yeeshaan ee aan ahayn inay sakhraamaan!
18 By slothfulness a building shall be brought down, and through the weakness of hands, the house shall drop through.
Caajisnimo badan saqafku waa ku dumaa, oo shuqulla'aanta gacmahana gurigaa ku darroora.
19 For laughter they make bread, and wine that the living may feast: and all things obey money.
Diyaafadda waxaa loo dhigaa qosol aawadiis, khamriguna naftuu u raaxeeyaa, oo lacagtu wax kastaba way ka jawaabtaa.
20 Detract not the king, no not in thy thought; and speak not evil of the rich man in thy private chamber: because even the birds of the air will carry thy voice, and he that hath wings will tell what thou hast said.
Boqorka ha ku caayin xataa fikirkaaga, oo taajirkana ha ku caayin qolladdaada jiifka, waayo, shimbir hawada duusha ayaa codkaaga qaadi doonta, oo wax baalal leh ayaa xaalka sheegi doona.
