Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
Ilmi ogeessi gorsa abbaa isaa dhagaʼa; qoostuun namaa immoo dheekkamsa hin dhaggeeffatu.
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
Namni waan afaan isaatii baʼuun waan gaariin gammada; namni hin amanamne garuu jeequmsaaf ariifata.
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
Namni arraba isaa eeggatu, jireenya isaa eeggata; kan of eeggachuu malee dubbatu immoo baduuf ariifata.
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
Fedhiin dhibaaʼaa yoom iyyuu hin guutamu; fedhiin nama jabaatee hojjetuu immoo guutumaan ni milkaaʼa.
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
Namni qajeelaan soba jibba; namni hamaan garuu qaanii fi salphina fida.
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
Qajeelummaatu nama tolaa tiksa; hamminni garuu cubbamaa galaafata.
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
Namni tokko sooressa of fakkeessa; garuu homaa hin qabu; tokko immoo hiyyeessa of fakkeessa; garuu qabeenya guddaa qaba.
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
Soorumni nama tokkoo furii jireenya isaa taʼuu dandaʼa; hiyyeessi garuu ifannaa hin dhagaʼu.
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Ifni nama qajeelaa akka gaarii ifa; ibsaan nama hamaa garuu ni dhaama.
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
Of tuulummaan lola qofa baayʼisa; ogummaan garuu warra gorsa dhagaʼan biratti argamti.
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
Maallaqni karaa sobaatiin dhufu dafee bada; namni xinnoo xinnoon maallaqa walitti qabatu garuu ni kuufata.
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
Abdiin lafa irra harkifatu garaa nama dhukkubsa; hawwiin guutamu garuu muka jireenyaa ti.
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
Namni gorsa tuffatu badiisa ofitti fida; kan ajaja ulfeessu immoo badhaasa argata.
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
Barsiisni nama ogeessaa burqaa jireenyaa ti; kiyyoo duʼaa irraas nama deebisa.
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
Hubannaan gaariin surraa argamsiisa; karaan warra hin amanamnee garuu badiisatti isaan geessa.
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
Namni qalbii qabu kam iyyuu beekumsaan hojjeta; gowwaan immoo gowwummaa isaa mulʼisa.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
Ergamaan hamaan rakkoo keessa seena; ergamaan amanamaan garuu fayyina fida.
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
Namni adabamuu jibbu ni hiyyooma; ni qaanaʼas; kan sirreeffama kabaju immoo ulfina argata.
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
Hawwiin guutame namatti miʼaawa; gowwoonni garuu waan hamaa irraa deebiʼuu balfu.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
Namni nama ogeessa wajjin deemu ogeessa taʼa, michuun gowwootaa garuu ni miidhama.
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
Wanni hamaan cubbamoota ariʼata; badhaadhummaan immoo badhaasa qajeelotaa ti.
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
Namni gaariin ilmaan ilmaan isaatiif dhaala dabarsa; qabeenyi nama cubbamaa garuu qajeeltotaaf kuufama.
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
Qonnaan hiyyeessaa midhaan guddaa baasa; murtiin jalʼaan garuu haxaaʼee duraa balleessa.
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
Namni harcummee qusatu ilma isaa jibba; kan ilma ofii jaallatu immoo ilaallachaa isa adaba.
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Namni qajeelaan hamma quufutti nyaata; garaan nama hamaa garuu ni beelaʼa.
