Proverbs 17
1 Better [is] a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.
Wuxoogaa cunto qallalan ah oo xasilloonaanu la jirto Ayaa ka wanaagsan guri hilib allabari ka buuxo oo diriru la jirto.
2 A wise servant rules over a son causing shame, And he apportions an inheritance in the midst of brothers.
Addoonkii caqli lahu wuxuu xukumi doonaa wiilkii ceeb soo jiida, Oo walaalaha ayuu la dhaxal geli doonaa.
3 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts [is] YHWH.
Weelka lacagta lagu safeeyo lacagtaa iska leh, oo foornadana dahabkaa iska leh, Laakiinse Rabbigu qalbiyaduu imtixaamaa.
4 An evildoer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.
Xumaanfaluhu wuxuu maqlaa bushimaha shar leh, Oo beenaaluhuna wuxuu dhegaystaa carrabka xun.
5 Whoever is mocking at the poor Has reproached his Maker, Whoever is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.
Ku alla kii miskiinka ku majaajiloodaa wuxuu caayaa Kan sameeyey, Kii belaayooyin ku farxaana ma taqsiir la'aan doono.
6 Sons’ sons [are] the crown of old men, And the glory of sons [are] their fathers.
Odayaasha waxaa taaj u ah carruurta carruurtooda, Oo sharafta carruurtuna waa aabbayaashood.
7 A lip of excellence is not fitting for a fool, much less a lip of falsehood for a noble.
Hadalkii weynu nacas uma eka, Sidaas oo kalena bushimihii been sheegaa amiir uma eka.
8 A stone of grace [is] the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Wherever it turns, it prospers.
Hadiyaddu waxay kii haysta la tahay sida dhagax qaali ah, Oo meel alla meeshay u leexataba way ku barwaaqowdaa.
9 Whoever is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoever is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.
Kii xadgudub qariyaa jacayl buu doondoonaa, Laakiinse kii xaal ku noqnoqdaa saaxiibbuu kala kaxeeyaa.
10 Rebuke comes down on the intelligent More than one hundred stripes on a fool.
Canaantu waxay ninkii garasho leh u tartaa In ka badan boqol jeedal oo nacas lagu dhuftay ay u taraan.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.
Ninkii shar lahu wuxuu doondoonaa caasinimo keliya, Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa isaga lagu diri doonaa farriingeeye aan naxariis lahayn.
12 The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And—not a fool in his folly.

14 The beginning of contention [is] a letting out of waters, And leave the strife before it is meddled with.
Muranka bilowgiisu waa sida biyo la soo faruuray. Haddaba isqabashada iska daa intaan lays ilaaqin.
15 Whoever is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these [are] an abomination to YHWH.
Kii kan sharka leh xaq ka dhiga, iyo kii kan xaqa ah gardarro ku xukuma, Labadaba Rabbigu aad buu u karhaa.
16 Why [is] this—a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart—there is none?
Lacagta nacaska gacantiisa ku jirtaa bal maxay u tartaa inuu xigmad ku soo iibsado, Waayo, isagu garasho ma leh?
17 The friend is loving at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
Had iyo goor saaxiibba saaxiibkii wuu jecel yahay, Walaalna wuxuu u dhashay dhibaato.
18 A man lacking heart is striking hands, He becomes a guarantor before his friend.
Ninkii garaaddaranu gacan buu dhaar ugu dhiibaa, Oo wuxuu dammiin ku noqdaa deriskiisa hortiisa.
19 Whoever is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoever is making his entrance high is seeking destruction.
Kii xadgudub jecelu muran buu jecel yahay, Oo kii iriddiisa sarraysiiyaana wuxuu doondoontaa baabba'.
20 The perverse of heart does not find good, And the [one] turned in his tongue falls into evil.
Kii qalbi qalloocan lahu wanaag ma helo, Oo kii carrab maroorsan lahuna wuxuu ku dhex dhacaa belaayo.
21 Whoever is begetting a fool has affliction for it, Indeed, the father of a fool does not rejoice.
Kii nacas dhalaa murugtiisuu u dhalaa, Oo nacas aabbihiisna farxad ma leh.
22 A rejoicing heart does good to the body, And a struck spirit dries the bone.
Qalbigii faraxsanu waa dawo wanaagsan, Laakiinse qalbigii jabanu lafahuu engejiyaa.
23 The wicked takes a bribe from the bosom, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
Ninkii shar lahu laabtuu laaluush ka qaataa, Si uu jidadka garta u qalloociyo.
24 The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool—at the end of the earth.
Xigmaddu waxay hor joogtaa kii garasho leh; Laakiinse nacaska indhihiisu waxay eegaan dhulka darafkiisa.
25 A foolish son [is] a provocation to his father, And bitterness to her bearing him.
Wiilkii nacas ahu waa u murug aabbihiis, Waana u qadhaadh tii dashay.
26 Also, [it] is not good to fine the righteous, To strike nobles for uprightness.
Weliba ma wanaagsana in kii xaq ah la taqsiiro, Ama in kuwa sharafka leh qummanaantooda aawadeed wax loogu dhufto.
27 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding.
Kii hadalkiisa yareeyaa, aqoon buu leeyahay, Oo kii qalbigiisu qabow yahayna waa nin garasho leh.
28 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips [seems] intelligent!
Xataa nacasku markuu iska aamusan yahay waxaa loo yaqaan mid caqli leh, Kii bushimihiisa isku qabtana nin miyir leh.
