Proverbs 12
1 Whoever is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoever is hating reproof [is] brutish.
Ku alla kii edbinta jecelu aqoon buu jecel yahay, Laakiinse kii canaanta necebu waa doqon.
2 The good brings forth favor from YHWH, And the man of wicked schemes He condemns.
Rabbigu ninka wanaagsan raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa. Laakiinse khaayinka wuu xukumi doonaa.
3 A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the righteous is not moved.
Ninna shar kuma dhismi doono, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah xididkooda weligiis lama dhaqaajin doono.
4 A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones [is] one causing shame.
Naagtii toolmoonu waxay ninkeeda u tahay taaj, Laakiinse tii ceebalay ahu waa sida qudhun isaga lafaha kaga jira.
5 The thoughts of the righteous [are] justice, The counsels of the wicked—deceit.
Kuwa xaqa ah fikirradoodu waa qumman yihiin, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh taladoodu waa khiyaano.
6 The words of the wicked [are]: “Lay [in] wait for blood,” And the mouth of the upright delivers them.
Kuwa sharka leh erayadoodu waa gabbasho ay u gabbadaan si ay dhiig u daadiyaan, Laakiinse kuwa qumman afkooda ayaa samatabbixin doona.
7 Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of the righteous stands.
Kuwa sharka leh waa la afgembiyaa, oo mar dambena lama arki doono, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah gurigoodu waa sii taagnaan doonaa.
8 A man is praised according to his wisdom, And the perverted of heart becomes despised.
Nin waxaa loogu bogi doonaa sida xigmaddiisu tahay, Laakiinse kii qalbigiisu qalloocan yahay waa la quudhsan doonaa.
9 Better [is] the lightly esteemed who has a servant, Than the self-honored who lacks bread.
Kii la fudaydsado oo midiidin lahu Waa ka wanaagsan yahay kii isweyneeya oo cunto u baahan.
10 The righteous knows the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
Nin xaq ahu waa u tudhaa neefkiisa, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh naxdintoodu waa naxariisla'aan oo keliya.
11 Whoever is tilling the ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoever is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
Kii dhulkiisa beertaa cunto badan buu ka dhergi doonaa, Laakiinse kii waxmatarayaal raacaa waa garaad daranyahay.
12 The wicked has desired the net of evildoers, And the root of the righteous gives.
Kan sharka lahu wuxuu damcaa dabinka xumaanfalayaasha, Laakiinse xididka kuwa xaqa ahu midhuu dhalaa.
13 The snare of the wicked [is] in transgression of the lips, And the righteous goes out from distress.
Kan sharka leh waxaa u dabin ah xadgudubka bushimihiisa, Laakiinse kan xaqa ahu dhibaatada wuu ka bixi doonaa.
14 One [is] satisfied [with] good from the fruit of the mouth, And the deed of man’s hands returns to him.
Nin wuxuu wanaag kaga dhergi doonaa midhaha afkiisa, Oo nin walbana waxa gacmihiisu sameeyaan ayaa loo abaalgudi doonaa.
15 The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, And whoever is listening to counsel [is] wise.
Nacaska jidkiisu waa la qumman yahay isaga, Laakiinse kii caqli lahu taladuu maqlaa.
16 The fool—his anger is known in a day, And the prudent is covering shame.
Nacaska xanaaqiisa haddiiba waa la gartaa, Laakiinse ninkii miyir lahu ceebtuu qariyaa.
17 Whoever utters faithfulness declares righteousness, And a false witness—deceit.
Kii runta ku hadlaa wuxuu muujiyaa xaqnimada, Laakiinse markhaatiga beenta ahu wuxuu muujiyaa khiyaanada.
18 A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
Waxaa jira mid u hadla sida seef wax mudaysa, Laakiinse kan caqliga leh carrabkiisu waa caafimaad.
19 The lip of truth is established forever, And a tongue of falsehood for a moment.
Bushintii runta sheegtaa weligeedba way sii taagnaan doontaa, Laakiinse carrabkii beenta sheegaa daqiiqad buu joogaa.
20 Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, But for counselors of peace—joy.
Kuwa sharka ku fikira qalbigooda khiyaanaa ku jirta, Laakiinse taliyayaasha nabaddu farxad bay leeyihiin.
21 No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
Sharna kan xaqa ah ku dhici maayo, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh xumaan baa ka buuxsami doonta.
22 Lying lips [are] an abomination to YHWH, And steadfast doers [are] his delight.
Bushimaha beenta sheega Rabbigu wuu karhaa. Laakiinse kuwa runta ku shaqeeya wuu ku farxaa.
23 A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaims folly.
Ninkii miyir lahu aqoontuu qariyaa, Laakiinse qalbiga nacasyadu wuxuu naadiyaa nacasnimo.
24 The hand of the diligent rules, And slothfulness becomes tributary.
Kuwa dadaala gacantoodu wax bay xukumi doontaa, Laakiinse caajisiinta hawl baa la saari doonaa.
25 Sorrow in the heart of a man bows down, And a good word makes him glad.
Ninkii caloolxumo gashaa wuu soo gotaa, Laakiinse eray wanaagsanu waa ka farxiyaa isaga.
26 The righteous searches his companion, And the way of the wicked causes them to err.
Kan xaqa ahu deriskiisuu hanuuniyaa, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh jidkoodu wuu ambiyaa iyaga.
27 The slothful does not roast his game, And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.
Ninkii caajis ahu ma dubto wuxuu soo ugaadhsaday, Laakiinse ninkii dadaala maalkiisu waa qaali.
28 In the path of righteousness [is] life, And in the way of [that] path [is] no death!
Jidka xaqnimada nolol baa taal; Oo waddadeedana dhimasho kuma jirto.
