Proverbs 17
1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.
Wuxoogaa cunto qallalan ah oo xasilloonaanu la jirto Ayaa ka wanaagsan guri hilib allabari ka buuxo oo diriru la jirto.
2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
Addoonkii caqli lahu wuxuu xukumi doonaa wiilkii ceeb soo jiida, Oo walaalaha ayuu la dhaxal geli doonaa.
3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts.
Weelka lacagta lagu safeeyo lacagtaa iska leh, oo foornadana dahabkaa iska leh, Laakiinse Rabbigu qalbiyaduu imtixaamaa.
4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
Xumaanfaluhu wuxuu maqlaa bushimaha shar leh, Oo beenaaluhuna wuxuu dhegaystaa carrabka xun.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
Ku alla kii miskiinka ku majaajiloodaa wuxuu caayaa Kan sameeyey, Kii belaayooyin ku farxaana ma taqsiir la'aan doono.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.
Odayaasha waxaa taaj u ah carruurta carruurtooda, Oo sharafta carruurtuna waa aabbayaashood.
7 Arrogant speech isn't fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
Hadalkii weynu nacas uma eka, Sidaas oo kalena bushimihii been sheegaa amiir uma eka.
8 A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
Hadiyaddu waxay kii haysta la tahay sida dhagax qaali ah, Oo meel alla meeshay u leexataba way ku barwaaqowdaa.
9 He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
Kii xadgudub qariyaa jacayl buu doondoonaa, Laakiinse kii xaal ku noqnoqdaa saaxiibbuu kala kaxeeyaa.
10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into 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; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
Ninkii shar lahu wuxuu doondoonaa caasinimo keliya, Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa isaga lagu diri doonaa farriingeeye aan naxariis lahayn.
12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
Nin ha la kulmo orso dhasheeda laga xaday, Intuu nacas nacasnimo samaynaya la kulmi lahaa.
13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
Ku alla kii wanaag xumaan ku celiyaa, Gurigiisa xumaanu ka fogaan mayso.
14 The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
Muranka bilowgiisu waa sida biyo la soo faruuray. Haddaba isqabashada iska daa intaan lays ilaaqin.
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
Kii kan sharka leh xaq ka dhiga, iyo kii kan xaqa ah gardarro ku xukuma, Labadaba Rabbigu aad buu u karhaa.
16 Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he has no understanding?
Lacagta nacaska gacantiisa ku jirtaa bal maxay u tartaa inuu xigmad ku soo iibsado, Waayo, isagu garasho ma leh?
17 A friend loves 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 void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
Ninkii garaaddaranu gacan buu dhaar ugu dhiibaa, Oo wuxuu dammiin ku noqdaa deriskiisa hortiisa.
19 He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
Kii xadgudub jecelu muran buu jecel yahay, Oo kii iriddiisa sarraysiiyaana wuxuu doondoontaa baabba'.
20 One who has a perverse heart doesn't find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
Kii qalbi qalloocan lahu wanaag ma helo, Oo kii carrab maroorsan lahuna wuxuu ku dhex dhacaa belaayo.
21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
Kii nacas dhalaa murugtiisuu u dhalaa, Oo nacas aabbihiisna farxad ma leh.
22 A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Qalbigii faraxsanu waa dawo wanaagsan, Laakiinse qalbigii jabanu lafahuu engejiyaa.
23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
Ninkii shar lahu laabtuu laaluush ka qaataa, Si uu jidadka garta u qalloociyo.
24 Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander everywhere.
Xigmaddu waxay hor joogtaa kii garasho leh; Laakiinse nacaska indhihiisu waxay eegaan dhulka darafkiisa.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
Wiilkii nacas ahu waa u murug aabbihiis, Waana u qadhaadh tii dashay.
26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
Weliba ma wanaagsana in kii xaq ah la taqsiiro, Ama in kuwa sharafka leh qummanaantooda aawadeed wax loogu dhufto.
27 He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
Kii hadalkiisa yareeyaa, aqoon buu leeyahay, Oo kii qalbigiisu qabow yahayna waa nin garasho leh.
28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
Xataa nacasku markuu iska aamusan yahay waxaa loo yaqaan mid caqli leh, Kii bushimihiisa isku qabtana nin miyir leh.
