Proverbs 25
1 THESE ARE ALSO PARABLES of Salomon, which the men of Hezekiah King of Iudah copied out.
Fakkeenyawwan kunneen fakkeenyawwan Solomoon kanneen namoonni Hisqiyaas, mooticha Yihuudaa garagalchanii dha:
2 The glorie of God is to conceale a thing secret: but the Kings honour is to search out a thing.
Waa dhoksuun Waaqaaf ulfina isaa ti; waa sakattaʼanii bira gaʼuun immoo ulfina moototaa ti.
3 The heaues in height, and the earth in deepenes, and the Kings heart can no man search out.
Akkuma samiiwwan ol dheeratanii laftis gad fagaatu sana, yaadni moototaa qoratamee bira hin gaʼamu.
4 Take the drosse from the siluer, and there shall proceede a vessell for the finer.
Meetii irraa xurii baasi; ergasii tumtuun qodaa tolchuu dandaʼa.
5 Take away the wicked from the King, and his throne shall be stablished in righteousnes.
Nama hamaa fuula mootii duraa balleessi; ergasii teessoon isaa qajeelummaadhaan ni jabaata.
6 Boast not thy selfe before the King, and stand not in the place of great men.
Fuula mootii duratti ol of hin qabin; iddoo namoota gurguddaas hin dhaabatin;
7 For it is better, that it be saide vnto thee, Come vp hither, then thou to be put lower in the presece of the prince whom thine eyes haue seene.
inni fuula namoota bebeekamoo duratti si salphisuu irra, yoo inni, “As ol kottu” siin jedhe wayyaa. Ati waan ija keetiin argite,
8 Goe not foorth hastily to strife, least thou know not what to doe in the ende thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
daftee mana murtiitti hin fidin; yoo ollaan kee si qaanesse, dhuma irratti ati maal gochuu dandeessa?
9 Debate thy matter with thy neighbour, and discouer not the secret to another,
Dhimma kee ollaa kee wajjin falmadhu; iccitii nama kaanii immoo hin baasin;
10 Least he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamie doe not cease.
yoo kanaa achii namni waan sana dhagaʼee si qaanessa; maqaan hamaan siif kenname sunis sirraa hin baʼu.
11 A word spoken in his place, is like apples of golde with pictures of siluer.
Dubbiin yeroo isaatti dubbatame, akkuma hudhaa warqee kan meetii irratti hojjetamee ti.
12 He that reprooueth the wise, and the obedient eare, is as a golden earering and an ornament of fine golde.
Ifanni nama ogeessaa gurra dhaggeeffatuuf, lootii warqee yookaan faaya warqee qulqulluu ti.
13 As the colde of the snowe in the time of haruest, so is a faithfull messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soule of his masters.
Ergamaan amanamaan tokko warra isa ergataniif akkuma qabbana cabbii kan yeroo midhaan haamanii ti; inni hafuura gooftota isaa haaromsaatii.
14 A man that boasteth of false liberalitie, is like cloudes and winde without raine.
Namni kennaa namaaf hin kennineen boonu tokko akkuma duumessaa fi bubbee bokkaa hin qabnee ti.
15 A Prince is pacified by staying of anger, and a soft tongue breaketh the bones.
Obsaan bulchaa tokko garaa laafifachuun ni dandaʼama; dubbiin malaan dubbatame lafee ni cabsa.
16 If thou haue found hony, eate that is sufficient for thee, least thou be ouerfull, and vomit it.
Damma yoo argatte hamma si gaʼu nyaadhu; yoo baayʼiftee nyaatte ni diddigda.
17 Withdrawe thy foote from thy neighbours house, least he be weary of thee, and hate thee.
Mana ollaa keetii dhaquu hin baayʼisin; yoo ati miilla itti baayʼifte inni si jibba.
18 A man that beareth false witnes against his neighbour, is like an hammer and a sword, and a sharpe arrowe.
Namni sobaan ollaa isaatti dhugaa baʼu, akkuma bokkuu yookaan goraadee yookaan xiyya qara qabuu ti.
19 Confidence in an vnfaythfull man in time of trouble, is like a broken tooth and a sliding foote.
Nama hin amanamne tokko yeroo rakkootti abdachuun akkuma ilkaan cabee yookaan miilla okkoluu ti.
20 Hee that taketh away the garment in the colde season, is like vineger powred vpon nitre, or like him that singeth songs to an heauy heart.
Nama garaan isaa gaddeef sirba sirbuun akkuma nama guyyaa dhaamochaa wayyaa of irraa baasuu, yookaan madaa irratti dhangaggaaʼaa dhangalaasuu ti.
21 If hee that hateth thee be hungry, giue him bread to eate, and if he be thirstie, giue him water to drinke.
Yoo diinni kee beelaʼe waan inni nyaatu kenniif; yoo inni dheebotes bishaan inni dhugu kenniif.
22 For thou shalt lay coles vpon his head, and the Lord shall recompense thee.
Kana gochuu keetiin barbadaa ibiddaa mataa isaa irra tuulta; Waaqayyos si badhaasa.
23 As the Northwinde driueth away the raine, so doeth an angry countenance the slandering tongue.
Akkuma bubbeen kaabaa bokkaa fidu, arrabni hamatus fuula dheekkamu fida.
24 It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top, then with a contentious woman in a wide house.
Niitii nyakkiftuu wajjin mana tokko keessa jiraachuu mannaa, golee bantii manaa irra jiraachuu wayya.
25 As are the colde waters to a weary soule, so is good newes from a farre countery.
Oduun gaariin biyya fagootii dhufu, akkuma bishaan qabbanaaʼaa lubbuu dheebotteef taʼuu ti.
26 A righteous man falling downe before the wicked, is like a troubled well, and a corrupt spring.
Namni qajeelaan fuula hamootaa duratti kufu, akkuma burqaa dhoqqaaʼee yookaan boolla bishaanii faalame tokkoo ti.
27 It is not good to eate much hony: so to search their owne glory is not glory.
Damma baayʼee nyaachuun gaarii miti; ulfina mataa ofii barbaaduunis ulfina miti.
28 A man that refraineth not his appetite, is like a citie which is broken downe and without walles.
Namni of hin qabne, akkuma magaalaa dallaan isaa diigamee ti.
