< Proverbs 21 >
1 The Lord directs the king's decisions like a stream of water that he sends whichever way he wants.
Boqorka qalbigiisu wuxuu ku jiraa gacanta Rabbiga sida webiyada biyaha ah, Oo wuxuu u leexiyaa meel alla meeshuu doonayo.
2 People think that whatever they do is fine, but the Lord looks at their motives.
Nin jidkiis waluba waa la qumman yahay isaga, Laakiinse Rabbigu qalbiyaduu miisaamaa.
3 Doing what's right and fair pleases the Lord more than sacrifices.
Waxaa Rabbigu allabari ka sii jecel yahay In xaqnimo iyo gar la sameeyo.
4 Pride and arrogance are the sins the wicked live by.
Indho qab weyn iyo qalbi kibirsan, Kuwaas oo ah kuwa sharka leh laambaddoodu waa dembi.
5 Those who plan ahead and work hard will have plenty, while those who act rashly end up poor.
Kuwa dadaala fikirradoodu waxay u geeyaan barwaaqo. Laakiinse ku alla kii degdeg badanu wuxuu u degdegaa inuu wax u baahdo oo keliya.
6 Money made by lies is like smoke in the wind—a chase that ends in death.
Khasnadihii carrab been badan lagu helaa waa sida ceeryaamo hor iyo dib loo kaxeeyey, Oo kuwa doondoontaana dhimashay doonaan.
7 The destruction caused by the wicked will destroy them, for they refuse to do what's right.
Kuwa sharka leh dhacoodu iyaguu baabbi'in doonaa, Maxaa yeelay, iyagu waxay diidaan inay gar sameeyaan.
8 Guilty people live crooked lives, but the innocent follow straight paths.
Ninkii eed badan qaba jidkiisu aad buu u qalloocan yahay, Laakiinse kii daahirsan shuqulkiisu waa hagaagsan yahay.
9 It's better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.
In guriga dushiisa dhinac laga joogo ayaa ka roon In guri weyn naag muran badan lala joogo.
10 Evil people love to do wrong, they don't care what pain they cause anyone.
Kii shar leh naftiisu xumaan bay doonaysaa, Oo deriskiisuna raallinimo kama helo hortiisa.
11 When a mocker is punished, an immature person can learn wisdom. When the wise are educated, they gain knowledge.
Markii mid wax quudhsada la taqsiiro, garaadlaawahu wuu caqliyaystaa, Oo kii caqli leh marka la edbiyona aqoon buu helaa.
12 The God of justice sees what happens in the homes of the wicked, and brings the wicked down in disaster.
Kii xaq ahu wuxuu ka fikiraa kii shar leh gurigiisa, Iyo sida kuwa sharka leh loogu afgembiyo sharnimadooda daraaddeed.
13 If you refuse to hear the cries of the poor, your cries won't be heard either.
Kii dhegihiisa u fureeyaa si aanu qaylada miskiinka u maqlin, Isaga qudhiisuna wuu qaylin doonaa, laakiinse lama maqli doono.
14 A gift given in secret calms down anger, and a hidden bribe soothes furious rage.
Hadiyaddii qarsoodi lagu bixiyaa xanaaqay qabowjisaa, Oo laaluushkii laabta laysu geliyaana cadho kulul buu qabowjiyaa.
15 When justice is done, the good are happy, but it brings terror to those who do evil.
Kii xaq ahu inuu gar sameeyo waa u farxad, Laakiinse kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeya waa u baabba'.
16 Anyone who wanders away from the path of understanding ends up with the dead.
Ninkii jidka waxgarashada ka habaabaa Wuxuu la joogi doonaa ururka kuwii dhintay.
17 If you love pleasure you'll become poor; if you love wine and olive oil you won't ever be rich.
Kii raaxaysi jecelu miskiin buu ahaan doonaa, Oo kii khamri iyo saliid jeceluna taajir ma noqon doono.
18 The wicked pay the price and not the good; those who are deceitful and not those who live right.
Kii shar lahu wuxuu furasho u noqon doonaa kii xaq ah, Khaayinkuna wuxuu furasho u noqon doonaa kii qumman.
19 It's better to live in a desert than with an argumentative and bad-tempered wife.
In lamadegaanka la joogo ayaa ka roon In naag muran iyo cadho badan lala joogo.
20 The wise hold on to their wealth and olive oil, but stupid people use up everything they have.
Khasnad qaali ah iyo saliid baa ku jira kan caqliga leh gurigiisa, Laakiinse nacasku wixiisa wuu wada liqaa.
21 If you pursue goodness and trustworthy love, you'll find life, prosperity, and honor.
Kii xaqnimo iyo naxariis raacaa Wuxuu helaa nolol iyo xaqnimo iyo sharaf.
22 The wise can overcome a city belonging to strong warriors, and tear down the fortress they trusted to protect them.
Kii caqli lahu kor buu ugu baxaa magaalada kuwa xoogga badan derbigeeda, Oo weliba xoogga ay isku hallaynayaan oo dhan ayuu hoos u ridaa.
23 If you watch what you say, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
Ku alla kii afkiisa iyo carrabkiisa dhawraa Naftiisuu dhibaatooyin ka dhawraa.
24 A proud, conceited, mocker—that's the name of those who act with insolent arrogance.
Ninkii kibirsan ee qab weyn waxaa magiciisa la yidhaahdaa quudhsade, Oo wuxuu ku shaqeeyaa cadhada kibirka.
25 Slackers die hungry because they refuse to work.
Ninkii caajis ah waxaa dila damaciisa, Waayo, gacmihiisu waxay diidaan inay hawshoodaan.
26 Some people only want more and more all the time, but the good give generously.
Waxaa jira kuwo maalinta oo dhan si hunguri weyn wax u damca, Laakiinse kii xaq ahu wax buu bixiyaa oo ma ceshado.
27 The sacrifices given by the wicked are obnoxious, worse still when they're offered with evil motives.
Ka sharka leh allabarigiisu waa karaahiyo, Oo markuu niyo xun ku bixiyona way ka sii daran tahay!
28 The lies of a false witness vanish away, but the words of a reliable witness will stand.
Markhaatifuraha beenta ahu waa baabbi'i doonaa, Laakiinse ninkii wax maqla hadalkiisu waa raagi doonaa.
29 The wicked act as bold as brass, but those who live right consider carefully what they're doing.
Ninkii shar lahu wejigiisuu adkeeyaa, Laakiinse kii qummanu jidadkiisuu u fiirsadaa.
30 Whatever wisdom, understanding, or guidance you may have is nothing before the Lord.
Ma jirto xigmad ama waxgarasho Ama talo Rabbiga ka gees ah.
31 You can get your horse ready for battle, but the victory is the Lord's.
Faraska waxaa loo diyaariyaa maalinta dagaalka, Laakiinse guusha waxaa leh Rabbiga.
