Proverbs 18
1 For the desire thereof hee will separate himselfe to seeke it, and occupie himselfe in all wisdome.
Kii gooni isu soocaa, wuxuu doondoonaa damaciisa, Oo xigmadda oo dhanna wuu ku kacaa.
2 A foole hath no delite in vnderstanding: but that his heart may be discouered.
Nacasku waxgarashada kuma farxo, Laakiinse wuxuu ku farxaa uun inuu waxa qalbigiisa ku jira muujiyo.
3 When the wicked commeth, then commeth contempt, and with the vile man reproch.
Markii kii shar lahu yimaado waxaa kaloo timaada quudhsasho, Sharafla'aantana waxaa la timaada ceeb.
4 The words of a mans mouth are like deepe waters, and the welspring of wisdome is like a flowing riuer.
Nin afkiis erayada ku jiraa waa sida biyo gun dheer, Oo isha xigmadduna waa sida durdur socda.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to cause ye righteous to fall in iudgement.
Ma wanaagsana in kan sharka leh loo eexdo, Ama in kan xaqa ah garta lagu afgembiyo.
6 A fooles lips come with strife, and his mouth calleth for stripes.
Nacaska bushimihiisu waxay keenaan muran, Oo afkiisuna wuxuu u yeedhaa karbaash.
7 A fooles mouth is his owne destruction, and his lips are a snare for his soule.
Nacaska afkiisu waa u baabba', Oo bushimihiisuna naftiisay dabin u noqdaan.
8 The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
Kii xan badan erayadiisu waa sida cunto macaan, Oo waxay ku degaan meelaha caloosha ugu hooseeya.
9 He also that is slouthfull in his worke, is euen the brother of him that is a great waster.
Kii shuqulkiisa caajis ku ahu, Wuxuu walaal u yahay kii wax kharriba.
10 The Name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth vnto it, and is exalted.
Rabbiga magiciisu waa noobiyad xoog leh, Kii xaq ahu iyaduu ku cararaa, meel sarena wuu ku nabad galaa.
11 The rich mans riches are his strong citie: and as an hie wall in his imagination.
Ninkii taajir ah maalkiisu waa u magaalo xoog leh, Oo waa u derbi dheer sida ay la tahay isaga.
12 Before destruction the heart of a man is hautie, and before glory goeth lowlines.
Dadka qalbigiisu waa kibraa intaanu baabbi'in ka hor, Oo sharaftana waxaa ka horraysa is-hoosaysiinta.
13 He that answereth a matter before hee heare it, it is folly and shame vnto him.
Kii xaajo ka jawaabaa isagoo aan maqlin, Waa u nacasnimo iyo ceeb.
14 The spirit of a man will susteine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare it?
Nin qalbigiisu waa u adkaysan karaa cudurkiisa, Laakiinse qalbi jaban bal yaa u dulqaadan kara?
15 A wise heart getteth knowledge, and the eare of the wise seeketh learning.
Kii miyir leh qalbigiisu wuxuu helaa aqoon, Oo kuwa caqliga leh dhegtooduna waxay doondoontaa aqoon.
16 A mans gift enlargeth him, and leadeth him before great men.
Nin hadiyaddiisu meel bay u bannaysaa. Oo waxay isaga hor keentaa rag waaweyn.
17 He that is first in his owne cause, is iust: then commeth his neighbour, and maketh inquirie of him.
Kii dacwaddiisa u hor mara, mid xaq ah baa la moodaa, Laakiinse deriskiisaa ka daba yimaada oo imtixaama isaga.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and maketh a partition among the mightie.
Saamigu wuxuu joojiyaa murammo, Oo wuxuu kala kaxeeyaa kuwa xoogga badan.
19 A brother offended is harder to winne then a strong citie, and their contentions are like the barre of a palace.
In walaal la xumeeyey la soo celiyo waa ka sii adag tahay in magaalo xoog leh la qabsado, Oo murammona waa ka xoog badan yihiin qalcad biraheeda.
20 With the fruite of a mans mouth shall his belly be satisfied, and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
Nin calooshiisu waxay ka buuxsami doontaa midhaha afkiisa, Oo wuxuu isagu ka dhergi doonaa waxa bushimihiisa u kordha.
21 Death and life are in the power of ye tongue, and they that loue it, shall eate the fruite thereof.
Geeri iyo nololuba waxay ku jiraan itaalka carrabka, Oo kuwa jeceluna waxay cuni doonaan midhihiisa.
22 He that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and receiueth fauour of the Lord.
Ku alla kii afo helaa wuxuu helaa wax wanaagsan, Oo Rabbigana raallinimuu ka helaa.
23 The poore speaketh with prayers: but the rich answereth roughly.
Miskiinku baryootan buu ku hadlaa, Laakiinse taajirku si qallafsan buu ugu jawaabaa.
24 A man that hath friends, ought to shew him selfe friendly: for a friend is neerer then a brother.
Ninkii saaxiibbo badsadaa naftiisuu kharribaa, Laakiin waxaa jira saaxiib walaalkaa kaaga dhow.
