Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
Gowwaa daba dubbatuu mannaa hiyyeessa amanamummaadhaan jiraatu wayya.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
Namni beekumsa hin qabne gaarii miti; miilli jarjarus karaa irraa jalʼata.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
Gowwummaan namaa karaa isaa jalʼisa; garaan isaa immoo Waaqayyotti aara.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
Badhaadhummaan michoota hedduu nama argachiisa; hiyyeessi garuu michoota isaa irraa gargar baʼa.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
Namni sobaan dhugaa baʼu utuu hin adabamin hin hafu; namni soba odeessuus jalaa hin baʼu.
6 Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
Namni hedduun bulchaa biratti surraa argachuu barbaada; namni hundis michuu nama waa namaa kennuu ti.
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.
Obboloonni hiyyeessaa hundinuu isa jibbu; yoos michoonni isaa hammam caalaa isa irraa haa fagaatan ree! Inni kadhachaa isaan duukaa buʼu iyyuu isaan eessattuu hin argaman.
8 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
Namni qalbii qabu ofii isaa jaallata; namni hubannaa jaallatu ni milkaaʼa.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
Namni sobaan dhugaa baʼu utuu hin adabamin hin hafu; namni soba odeessus ni bada.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
Jireenya qananii jiraachuun gowwaaf hin malu; yoos ilmaan mootii bulchuun garbichaaf hammam caalaa haa hammaatu ree?
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
Ogummaan nama tokkoo obsa kennaaf; balleessaa namaa irra darbuunis isaaf ulfina.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
Dheekkamsi mootii akkuma aaduu leencaa ti, surraan isaa immoo akkuma fixeensa marga irratti.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
Ilmi gowwaan abbaa isaatiif badiisa; niitiin nyakkiftunis akka mana yeroo hundumaa dhimmisuu ti.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
Manaa fi qabeenyi warra ofii irraa dhaalamu; niitii qalbii qabdu garuu Waaqayyotu namaaf kenna.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
Dhibaaʼummaan hirriba guddaa namatti buusa; namni hojii malee taaʼus ni beelaʼa.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
Namni ajaja eegu lubbuu isaa eeggata; kan karaa isaa tuffatu immoo ni duʼa.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
Namni hiyyeessaaf garaa laafu Waaqayyoof liqeessa; Waaqnis waan inni hojjete sanaaf isa badhaasa.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
Yeroo abdiin jirutti ilma kee adabadhu; akka inni duʼuufis calʼistee hin ilaalin.
19 A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
Namni dafee aaru adabamuu qaba; ati yoo isa oolchite, amma illee akkasuma gochuu qabda.
20 Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.
Gorsa namaa dhaggeeffadhu; sirreeffamas fudhadhu; dhuma irratti ati nama ogeessa taata.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
Garaa namaa keessa karoora baayʼeetu jira; garuu wanni fiixaan baʼu kaayyoo Waaqayyoo ti.
22 That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.
Wanni namni hawwu jaalala dhuma hin qabnee dha; sobduu taʼuu mannaa hiyyeessa taʼuu wayya.
23 The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
Waaqayyoon sodaachuun jireenyatti nama geessa; yoos namni boqonnaadhaan jiraata; rakkinnis isa hin argatu.
24 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.
Dhibaaʼaan harka isaa waciitii keessa kaaʼa; gara afaan isaattis hin deebifatu!
25 Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
Qoostuu garafi; wallaalaan hubannaa argataa; nama qalbii qabu ifadhu; inni beekumsa argataatii.
26 He that destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewde and shamefull childe.
Namni abbaa isaa saamu, haadha isaas kan manaa ariʼu, ilma qaanii fi salphina fiduu dha.
27 My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
Yaa ilma ko, mee qajeelfama dhaggeeffachuu dhiisi; ati dubbii beekumsaa irraa ni baddaa.
28 A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
Dhuga baʼaan faayidaa hin qabne murtii qajeelaa tuffata; afaan hamootaa immoo hammina liqimsa.
29 But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
Qoostotaaf adabbii, dugda gowwootaatiif immoo rukuttaatu qopheeffama.
