< Proverbs 10 >

1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causes a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
Fakkeenyawwan Solomoon: Ilmi ogeessi abbaa isaa gammachiisa; ilmi gowwaan garuu haadha isaa gaddisiisa.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit, And righteousness delivers from death.
Qabeenyi karaa hamaadhaan horatan gatii hin qabu; qajeelummaan garuu duʼa jalaa nama baasa.
3 YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Waaqayyo akka warri qajeelaan beelaʼan hin eeyyamu; hawwii jalʼootaa garuu ni busheessa.
4 Poor [is] he who is working [with] a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent makes rich.
Harki hojii hin hojjenne nama hiyyoomsa; harki jabaatee hojii hojjetu garuu nama sooromsa.
5 Whoever is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoever is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
Namni yeroo bonaa midhaan walitti qabatu ilma ogeessa; kan yeroo midhaan galfamutti rafu immoo ilma nama qaanessuu dha.
6 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Eebbi mataa qajeeltotaatti gonfoo kaaʼa; afaan hamootaa irra garuu jeequmsatu lolaʼa.
7 The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked rots.
Yaadannoon nama qajeelaa eebba taʼa; maqaan nama hamaa garuu lafa irraa bada.
8 The wise in heart accepts commands, And a talkative fool kicks.
Namni garaa isaatti ogeessa taʼe ajaja fudhata; gowwaan oduu baayʼisu garuu ni bada.
9 Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, And whoever is perverting his ways is known.
Namni amanamaan sodaa malee deema; kan karaa isaa jalʼisu garuu ni saaxilama.
10 Whoever is winking the eye gives grief, And a talkative fool kicks.
Namni ija hamminaatiin waa namaan jedhu rakkoo uuma; gowwaan oduu baayʼisu garuu ni bada.
11 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Afaan nama qajeelaa burqaa jireenyaa ti; afaan hamootaa irra garuu jeequmsatu lolaʼa.
12 Hatred awakens contentions, And love covers over all transgressions.
Jibbi lola kakaasa; jaalalli garuu balleessaa hunda haguuga.
13 Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
Ogummaan hidhii nama waa hubatuu irratti argamti; uleen immoo dirra nama hubannaa hin qabnee irra buʼa.
14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
Namoonni ogeeyyiin beekumsa kuufatu; afaan gowwaa garuu badiisa waama.
15 The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
Qabeenyi sooreyyii isaaniif magaalaa daʼoo qabduu dha; hiyyummaan garuu badiisa hiyyeeyyii ti.
16 The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
Mindaan qajeeltotaa jireenya; galiin hamootaa garuu cubbuu fi duʼa.
17 A traveler to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoever is forsaking rebuke is erring.
Namni gorsa fudhatu karaa jireenyaa irra deema; namni adaba didu kam iyyuu garuu warra kaan karaa irraa jalʼisa.
18 Whoever is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoever is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
Namni hidhii sobuun jibba dhokfatu, kan maqaa namaa balleessus gowwaa dha.
19 In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, And whoever is restraining his lips [is] wise.
Yoo dubbiin baayʼatu, cubbuun keessaa hin dhabamu; namni arraba isaa eeggatu garuu ogeessa.
20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked—as a little thing.
Arrabni nama qajeelaa meetii filatamaa dha; garaan nama hamaa garuu faayidaa xinnoo qaba.
21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools die for lack of heart.
Arrabni nama qajeelaa nama hedduu soora; gowwoonni garuu hubannaa dhabiisaan duʼu.
22 The blessing of YHWH—it makes rich, And He adds no grief with it.
Eebbi Waaqayyoo nama sooromsa; inni rakkina tokko illee itti hin dabalu.
23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
Gowwaan amala hamaadhaan gammachuu argata; namni waa hubatu garuu ogummaatti gammada.
24 The feared thing of the wicked meets him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
Wanni namni hamaan sodaatu isumatti dhufa; hawwiin nama qajeelaa immoo ni guutamaaf.
25 As the passing by of a windstorm, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a perpetual foundation.
Yeroo bubbeen hamaan bubbisu namoonni hamoon ni badu; qajeeltonni garuu bara baraan jabaatanii jiraatu.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
Akkuma wanni dhangaggaaʼaan ilkaan miidhee, aarris ija miidhu sana namni dhibaaʼaan warra isa ergatu miidha.
27 The fear of YHWH adds days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
Waaqayyoon sodaachuun bara jireenya namaa dheeressa; umuriin nama hamaa garuu ni gabaabbata.
28 The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perishes.
Abdiin nama qajeelaa gammachuu taʼa; wanni namni hamaan eeggatu garuu ni bada.
29 The way of YHWH [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
Karaan Waaqayyoo nama qajeelaaf daʼoo dha; nama jalʼaaf garuu badiisa.
30 The righteous is not moved for all time, And the wicked do not inhabit the earth.
Qajeeltonni yoom iyyuu hin fonqolfaman; hamoonni garuu lafa irratti hin hafan.
31 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And the tongue of contrariness is cut out.
Afaan nama qajeelaa ogummaa dubbata; arrabni jalʼaan garuu ni kutama.
32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
Arrabni nama qajeelaa waan fudhatama qabu dubbata; afaan nama hamaa garuu waan jalʼaa qofa dubbata.
