Proverbs 11
1 False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
Waaqayyo madaalii hin amanamne ni balfa; madaalii dhugaatti immoo ni gammada.
2 When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
Gaafa of tuuluun dhufu, salphinatu dhufa; gad of qabiisa wajjin immoo ogummaatu dhufa.
3 The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
Amanamummaan tolootaa isaan dura deema; warri hin amanamne garuu dabuma isaaniitiin badu.
4 Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
Guyyaa dheekkamsaatti qabeenyi faayidaa hin qabu; qajeelummaan garuu duʼa jalaa nama baasa.
5 The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
Qajeelummaan warra mudaa hin qabnee karaa qajeelaa baasaaf; hamoonni garuu hamminuma isaaniitiin badu.
6 The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
Qajeelummaan tolootaa isaan oolcha; warri hin amanamne garuu hawwii hamaadhaan qabamu.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
Yeroo namni hamaan duʼu, abdiin isaas ni bada; wanni namni hamaan eeggatus ni barbadeeffama.
8 The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
Namni qajeelaan rakkoo jalaa ni baafama; rakkoon sunis qooda isaa nama hamaa irra gaʼa.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
Namni Waaqatti hin bulle dubbii afaan isaatiin ollaa isaa balleessa; namni qajeelaan immoo beekumsaan miliqa.
10 In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
Yommuu namni qajeelaan badhaadhu magaalaan ni gammada; yommuu namni hamaan barbadaaʼu immoo iyya gammachuutu dhagaʼama.
11 By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
Eebba nama tolaatiin magaalaan ulfina argata; afaan nama hamaatiin garuu ni barbadeeffama.
12 He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
Namni sammuu hin qabne ollaa isaa tuffata; kan hubannaa qabu garuu ni calʼisa.
13 Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
Namni odeessu dhoksaa gad baasa; kan amanamu garuu icciitii eega.
14 Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
Qajeelfama dhabiisaan sabni ni kufa; baayʼina gorsitootaatiin garuu nagaatu argama.
15 Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
Namni nama hin beekneef wabii taʼu ni rakkata; namni namaaf kakachuuf jedhee harka dhaʼuu didu immoo nagaan jiraata.
16 A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
Dubartiin gara laafettiin ulfina argatti; namoonni garaa dhagaa immoo qabeenya qofa argatu.
17 Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
Namni gaariin of fayyada; gara jabeessi garuu rakkina ofitti fida.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
Namni hamaan mindaa sobaa argata; kan qajeelummaa facaafatu immoo badhaasa dhugaa argata.
19 As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
Namni qajeelaan dhugumaan jireenya argata; kan waan hamaa duukaa buʼu garuu gara duʼaa argata.
20 They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
Waaqayyo warra yaada jalʼaa qaban balfa; warra karaan isaanii mudaa hin qabnetti immoo ni gammada.
21 Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
Waan kana hubadhu: Namni hamaan utuu hin adabamin hin hafu; qajeeltonni garuu bilisa baʼu.
22 As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
Dubartiin miidhagduun qalbii hin qabne akkuma qubeelaa warqee kan funyaan booyyeetti jirtuu ti.
23 The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
Wanni qajeeltonni hawwan gaarii taʼaaf; abdiin hamootaa garuu dheekkamsa qofa taʼa.
24 There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
Namni tokko toluma waa namaa kenna; taʼus ittuma caalchisee sooroma; kaan immoo waan kennuu malu dhowwata; taʼus inuma hiyyooma.
25 The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
Namni arjaan ni badhaadha; namni warra kaan dheebuu baasu ofii isaatii illee dheebuu baʼa.
26 He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
Nama dhoksee midhaan kuufatu sabni ni abaara; kan gurguruuf fedhii qabu immoo eebbatu gonfoo taʼaaf.
27 He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
Namni waan gaarii barbaadu carraa gaarii argata; hamminni garuu nama hammina barbaadutti dhufa.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
Namni sooruma ofii isaa abdatu kam iyyuu ni kufa; qajeelaan garuu akkuma baala magariisaatti lalisa.
29 He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
Namni maatii isaatti rakkoo fidu bubbee qofa dhaala; gowwaan immoo garbicha nama ogeessaa taʼa.
30 The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
Iji nama qajeelaa muka jireenyaa ti; namni lubbuu namaa baraaru immoo ogeessa.
31 Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
Erga qajeeltonni lafa irratti gatii isaanii argatanii, namni Waaqatti hin bullee fi cubbamaan hammam caalaa haa argatanii ree!
