Proverbs 14
1 The wise among women buildeth her house; but the foolish pulleth it down with her own hands.
Naag kastoo caqli lahu gurigeeday dhistaa, Laakiinse nacasaddu gacmaheeday ku dumisaa.
2 In his uprightness walketh he that feareth the Lord; but perverse in his ways is he that despiseth him.
Kii qummanaantiisa ku socda ayaa Rabbiga ka cabsada, Laakiinse kii jidkiisa ku qalloocan wuu quudhsadaa isaga.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a stick [for his] pride; but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Afka nacasyada waxaa ka soo biqla kibir; Laakiinse kuwa caqliga leh bushimahooda ayaa iyaga dhawri doona.
4 Where no oxen are, is the crib clean; but the abundance of harvests is [only] through the strength of the ox.
Meeshii aan dibi joogin qabaalkii ay wax ka cuni jireen waa baabbah; Laakiinse kordhinta badanu waxay ku timaadaa xoogga dibiga.
5 A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness constantly uttereth lies.
Markhaatigii aamin ahu been ma sheego, Laakiinse markhaatigii been ahu been buu ku hadlaa.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none; but knowledge is easy to the man of understanding.
Kii wax quudhsadaa xigmad buu doondoonaa, mana helo, Laakiinse aqoontu waa u fudud dahay kii waxgarasho leh.
7 Go far away from a foolish man, else thou wilt [never] know the lips of knowledge.
Nacaska hortiisa ka fogow, Waayo, bushimihiisa aqoon ka heli maysid.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; but the folly of fools is deceit.
Ninkii miyir leh xigmaddiisu waa inuu jidkiisa gartaa, Laakiinse nacasyada nacasnimadoodu waa khiyaano.
9 The fool maketh a mockery of guilt; but among the upright there is good will.
Nacasyadu dembigay ku majaajiloodaan, Laakiinse kuwa qumman waxaa ku dhex jirta raallinimo.
10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy can no stranger intermeddle.
Qalbigu qadhaadhnimadiisuu yaqaan, Oo shisheeyena farxaddiisa lama qaybsado.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed: but the tent of the upright will flourish.
Guriga kuwa sharka leh waa la afgembiyi doonaa, Laakiinse taambuugga kuwa qummanu waa barwaaqoobi doonaa.
12 There is many a way which seemeth even before a man; but its end are ways unto death.
Waxaa jirta waddo dadka la hagaagsan, Laakiinse dhammaadkeedu waa waddooyinka dhimashada.
13 Even in laughter the heart feeleth pain; and at its end joy is sorrow.
Qalbigu xataa qosol waa ku murugoodaa, Oo farxad dhammaadkeeduna waa caloolxumo.
14 The backslider in heart will have enough of his own ways; and from him [departeth] the good men.
Kii xaqnimada qalbigiisa dib ugaga noqdaa jidkiisuu ka dhergi doonaa, Oo ninkii wanaagsanuna wuxuu ka dhergi doonaa naftiisa.
15 The simple believeth every word; but the prudent man understandeth his steps.
Kii garaaddaranu eray kasta wuu rumaystaa, Laakiinse kii miyir lahu socodkiisa aad buu u fiiriyaa.
16 A wise man is fearful, and departeth from evil; but the fool exciteth himself, and is confident.
Ninkii caqli lahu waa cabsadaa, oo sharka wuu ka noqdaa; Laakiinse nacasku waa ciishoodaa, wuuna isku kalsoon yahay.
17 He that is soon angry committeth folly; and a man of wicked devices is hated.
Kii degdeg u cadhoodaa nacasnimuu wax ku sameeyaa, Oo ninkii sharnimo hindisana waa la neceb yahay.
18 The simple inherit folly; but the prudent crown themselves with knowledge.
Garaadlaawayaashu nacasnimay dhaxlaan, Laakiinse kuwii miyir leh waxaa madaxa loo saaraa taaj aqoon ah.
19 The bad sink down before the good; and the wicked are at the gates of the righteous.
Kuwa sharka lahu kuwa wanaagsan hortooda ayay ku foororsadaan, Oo kuwa xunxunna waxay ku foororsadaan irdaha kuwa xaqa ah.
20 Even to his own neighbor is the poor man hateful; but the friends of the rich are many.
Miskiinka xataa deriskiisu waa neceb yahay, Laakiinse taajirku saaxiibbo badan buu leeyahay.
21 He that despiseth his neighbor is a sinner; but he that is gracious to the poor—happiness attend him!
Kii deriskiisa quudhsadaa wuu dembaabaa, Laakiinse kii miskiinka u naxariistaa waa barakaysan yahay.
22 Behold, those who contrive evil are in error; but kindness and truth attend on those who contrive what is good.
Kuwa sharka ku fikiraa sow ma qaldamaan? Laakiinse kuwa wanaagga ku fikira waxaa u ahaan doona naxariis iyo run.
23 In all painful labor there is profit; but mere words of the lips [lead] only to want.
Hawl kasta faa'iidaa ku jirta, Laakiinse hadalka bushimuhu wuxuu keenaa caydhnimo keliya.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches; but the folly of fools is [only] folly.
Kuwa caqliga leh taajkoodu waa maalkooda, Laakiinse nacasyada nacasnimadoodu waa nacasnimo keliya.
25 A deliverer of souls is the true witness; but a witness of deceit uttereth lies.
Markhaatigii run ahu nafuu samatabbixiyaa, Laakiinse kii been sheegaa waa khaayin.
26 In the fear of the Lord is the strong confidence [of man], and unto his children will it be a place of shelter.

27 The fear of the Lord is the source of life, [teaching] to avoid the snares of death.
Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waa il nololeed, Si dabinnada dhimashada looga leexdo.
28 In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the want of a population is the downfall of the prince.
Sharafta boqorku waxay ku jirtaa dadka badnaantiisa, Laakiinse baabba'a amiirku wuxuu ku jiraa dadka yaraantiisa.
29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit holdeth up [to view] his folly.
Kii cadhada u gaabiyaa waa garasho badan yahay; Laakiinse kii degdeg u cadhoodaa nacasnimuu sarraysiiyaa.
30 A sound heart is the life of the body; but jealousy is the rottenness of the bones.
Qalbigii degganu waa nolosha jidhka, Laakiinse hinaaso waa qudhunka lafaha.
31 He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker; but he that is gracious to the needy honoreth him.
Kii miskiinka dulmaa wuxuu caayaa Kan sameeyey, Laakiinse kii ka baahan u naxariistaa wuu murweeyaa.
32 Through his own evil is the wicked thrust down; but even in his death doth the righteous have confidence.
Kii shar leh waxaa lagu afgembiyaa sharnimadiisa, Laakiinse kan xaqa ahu rajuu leeyahay markuu dhinto.
33 In the heart of the man of understanding resteth wisdom: but [the little which is] in the bosom of fools is made known.
Xigmaddu waxay taal kii garasho leh qalbigiisa, Laakiinse wixii nacasyada uurkooda ku jiraa waa ismuujiyaa.
34 Righteousness exalteth a people; but the disgrace of nations is sin.
Xaqnimadu quruun way sarraysiisaa, Laakiinse dembigu waa u ceeb dad kasta.
35 The king's favor is bestowed on an intelligent servant; but his wrath is against him that deserveth shame.
Boqorka raallinimadiisa waxaa leh midiidinkii caqli ku shaqeeya, Laakiinse wuxuu u cadhoon doonaa kii ceeb sameeya.
