Ecclesiastes 10
1 Dead flies make the ointment of the perfumer fetid and putrid; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.
Diqsiyadii dhintay saliidda cadarsameeyaha way qudhmiyaan, oo nacasnimadii yaruna saasoo kalay kan xigmadda loo sharfo u bi'isaa.
2 A wise man's understanding is at his right hand; but a fool's understanding at his left.
Ninkii xigmad leh qalbigiisu xagga midigtuu u jeedaa, laakiinse nacaska qalbigiisu xagga bidixduu u jeedaa.
3 Yea also, when a fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
Oo weliba kan nacaska ahu markuu jidka marayo wuu caqli yaraadaa, oo ku alla kii uu arkaba wuxuu u sheegaa inuu nacas yahay.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.
Haddii taliyahu kugu dhirfo, meeshaada ha ka dhaqaaqin, waayo, qalbiqabowgu xumaano waaweyn wuu qabowjiyaa.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceedeth from a ruler:
Waxaa jira wax shar ah oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, waxaana weeye qalad taliyaha ka yimaada.
6 Folly is set on great heights, and the rich sit in low place.
Nacasnimadu waxay joogtaa meelo sarsare oo waaweyn oo taajiriintuna waxay fadhiyaan meel hoose.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
Waxaan arkay addoommo fardo fuushan, iyo amiirro sida addoommo oo kale lugaynaya.
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a fence, a serpent shall bite him.
Kii god qodaa isagaa ku dhici doona, oo ku alla kii deyr dumiyana abeesaa qaniini doonta.
9 Whoso quarrieth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.
Ku alla kii dhagaxyo rujiyaaba wuu ku dhaawacmi doonaa, oo kii qoryo jejebiyaana isagaa khatar ku geli doona.
10 If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength; but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Haddii birtu af beesho, oo aan la soofayn, waa in xoog badan lagu sii kordhiyaa, laakiinse xigmaddu faa'iido bay leedahay si loogu liibaano.
11 If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then the charmer hath no advantage.
Haddii abeeso wax qaniinto iyadoo aan la falfalin, markaas ka dib falfalowgu waxtar ma leh.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
Kii xigmad leh erayada afkiisu waa raxmad miidhan, laakiinse bushimaha nacasku isaga qudhiisay baabbi'iyaan.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is grievous madness.
Erayada afkiisa bilowgoodu waa nacasnimo, oo dhammaadka hadalkiisuna waa waalli baas.
14 A fool also multiplieth words; yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
Nacasku hadalkiisa wuu badiyaa, waxa ahaan doona binu-aadmigu garan maayo, oo waxa dabadiis dhici doonana bal yaa u sheegi kara?
15 The labour of fools wearieth every one of them, for he knoweth not how to go to the city.
Nacasyada hawshoodu midkood kastaba way daalisaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu xataa sida magaalada loo tago ma yaqaan.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a boy, and thy princes feast in the morning!
Dalkow, adaa iska hoogay, markii boqorkaagu ilmo yar yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay aroortii wax cunaan!
17 Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is a free man, and thy princes eat in due season, in strength, and not in drunkenness!
Dalkow, waad barakaysan tahay, markii boqorkaagu nin gobeed yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay wakhti habboon wax u cunaan inay xoog ku yeeshaan ee aan ahayn inay sakhraamaan!
18 By slothfulness the rafters sink in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.
Caajisnimo badan saqafku waa ku dumaa, oo shuqulla'aanta gacmahana gurigaa ku darroora.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life; and money answereth all things.
Diyaafadda waxaa loo dhigaa qosol aawadiis, khamriguna naftuu u raaxeeyaa, oo lacagtu wax kastaba way ka jawaabtaa.
20 Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought, and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Boqorka ha ku caayin xataa fikirkaaga, oo taajirkana ha ku caayin qolladdaada jiifka, waayo, shimbir hawada duusha ayaa codkaaga qaadi doonta, oo wax baalal leh ayaa xaalka sheegi doona.
