Proverbs 29
1 He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.
Namni ifannaa baayʼee booddee mataa jabaatu kam iyyuu akkuma tasaa caba; hin fayyus.
2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
Yommuu namni qajeelaan aangoo qabatutti, sabni ni ililcha; yommuu namni hamaan bulchu garuu sabni ni guunguma.
3 Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Namni ogummaa jaallatu abbaa isaa gammachiisa; miiltoon sagaagaltuu garuu qabeenya isaa barbadeessa.
4 The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.
Mootiin murtii qajeelaadhaan biyyaaf nagaa buusa; kan mattaʼaaf gaggabu immoo biyya gargar qoqqooda.
5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
Namni ollaa isaa jaju, miilluma isaatiif kiyyoo kaaʼa.
6 An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.
Namni hamaan cubbuu ofii isaatiin qabama; qajeelaan garuu ni faarfata; ni ililchas.
7 The righteous is concerned about justice for the poor. The wicked does not understand the concern.
Namni qajeelaan mirga hiyyeessaatiif dhaabata; namni hamaan garuu dhimma akkanaa hin qabu.
8 Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
Qoostonni magaalaa jeequ; ogeeyyiin garuu aarii qabbaneessu.
9 If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
Yoo ogeessi gowwaa wajjin mana murtii dhaqe, gowwaan sun ni aara yookaan ni kolfa; nagaanis hin jiraatu.
10 The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity; and they seek the life of the upright.
Namoonni dhiiga dheebotan, nama amanamaa jibbu; nama tolaas ajjeesuu barbaadu.
11 A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.
Gowwaan guutumaan guutuutti aariitti of kenna; ogeessi garuu of qaba.
12 If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked.
Yoo bulchaan tokko soba dhaggeeffate, qondaaltonni isaa hundi ni hammaatu.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both.
Hiyyeessaa fi namni nama cunqursu waan kanaan wal fakkaatu: Waaqayyo ija lachan isaaniitiifuu agartuu kenna.
14 The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
Yoo mootiin tokko wal qixxummaadhaan hiyyeeyyiif murtii kenne, teessoon isaa bara baraan jabaatee dhaabata.
15 The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
Ulee fi ifannaan ogummaa kennu; daaʼimni akkasumatti gad dhiifame garuu haadha isaa salphisa.
16 When the wicked increase, sin increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
Yommuu hamoonni aangoo qabatan, cubbuutu baayʼata; qajeeltonni garuu kufaatii jaraa argu.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
Ilma kee adabadhu, inni nagaa siif kenna; lubbuu kees ni gammachiisa.
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but he who keeps the law is blessed.
Iddoo mulʼanni hin jirretti sabni gad dhiisii taʼa; namni seera eegu garuu eebbifamaa dha.
19 A servant can't be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
Garbichi dubbii afaanii qofaan hin sirreeffamu; inni yoo hubate illee deebii hin kennuutii.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Ati nama jarjarsuun dubbatu argitee? Isa irra gowwaatu abdii caalu qaba.
21 He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end.
Nama garbicha ofii isaa ijoollummaa isaatii jalqabee qanansiisu, galgalli isaa rakkina.
22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin.
Namni aaru lola kakaasa; kan dafee aarus cubbuu hedduu hojjeta.
23 A man's pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.
Of tuulummaan namaa isuma gad deebisa; namni hafuuraan gad of qabu garuu ulfina argata.
24 Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.
Namni hattuu wajjin qooddatu lubbuu ofii isaa jibba; inni ni kakata; garuu waan tokko illee hin himu.
25 The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the LORD will be set on high.
Nama sodaachuun kiyyoo namatti taʼa; kan Waaqayyoon amanatu garuu nagaadhaan jiraata.
26 Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice comes from the LORD.
Namni hedduun bulchaa biratti surraa argachuu barbaada; murtiin qajeelaan garuu Waaqayyo biraa dhufa.
27 A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
Qajeelaan sobduu xireeffata; hamaan immoo nama tolaa jibba.
