Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, King of Israel:
Fakkeenya Solomoon Ilma Daawit, mootii Israaʼel:
2 For the knowledge of wisdom and correction, for discerning the sayings of intelligence;
Ogummaa fi qajeelfama qabaachuudhaaf, dubbii beekumsa guddaa hubachuudhaaf;
3 For receiving the correction of prudence, righteousness and justice, and equity;
ogummaadhaan jiraachuudhaan, qajeelummaadhaan, murtii qajeelaa kennuu fi nama wal qixxeessuudhaan qajeelfama argachuudhaaf;
4 For giving To the simple shrewdness, To the young man, knowledge and discretion.
warra waa hin beekneef of eeggannoo kennuudhaaf, dargaggootaaf immoo beekumsaa fi hubannaa kennuudhaaf,
5 A wise man, will hear, and will increase learning, and a, discreet man, wise counsels, will acquire,
ogeeyyiin dhaggeeffatanii barumsa isaanii irratti waa haa dabalatan; warri qalbii qabanis qajeelfama haa argatan;
6 By gaining discernment of proverb, and satire, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
kunis fakkeenyaa fi hiikkaa, jechaa fi hibboo ogeeyyii hubachuudhaaf.
7 The reverence of Yahweh, is the beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and correction, the foolish have despised.
Waaqayyoon sodaachuun jalqaba ogummaa ti; gowwoonni garuu ogummaa fi adabamuu tuffatu.
8 Hear, my son, the correction of thy father, and do not reject the instruction of thy mother;
Yaa ilma ko, gorsa abbaa keetii dhaggeeffadhu; barsiisa haadha keetii illee hin gatin.
9 For, a wreath of beauty, shall they be to thy head, and chains of ornament, to thy neck.
Wanni kun mataa kee miidhagsuudhaaf gonfoo, morma kee bareechuudhaaf immoo faaya siif taʼa.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent.
Yaa ilma ko, yoo cubbamoonni sossobanii ofitti si harkisan, tole hin jedhiniif.
11 If they say—Come with us, —Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent;
Yoo isaan, “Nu wajjin kottu; riphnee dhiiga namaa dhangalaasnaa; nama balleessaa hin qabne galaafachuudhaafis dhokannee eeggannaa;
12 Let us engulf them, like hades, alive, While in health, like them who are going down to the pit; (Sheol h7585)
kottu akkuma awwaalaa jiraatti isaan liqimsinaa; akkuma warra boolla keessa buufamaniis guutumaan guutuutti isaan liqimsinaa; (Sheol h7585)
13 All costly substance, shall we find, We shall fill our houses with spoil;
nu waan gatii qabu kan gosa hundaa ni arganna; manneen keenya illee boojuudhaan guuttanna;
14 Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all.
ixaa kee nu wajjin buufadhu; nus korojoo tokko si wajjin qooddannaa” siin jedhan,
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path.
yaa ilma ko, ati isaan wajjin hin deemin; miilla keetiin karaa isaanii irra illee hin ejjetin;
16 For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood.
miilli isaanii cubbuutti ariifataatii; isaan dhiiga dhangalaasuuf jarjaru.
17 Surely, in vain, is spread the net, in the sight of aught that hath wings!
Utuma simbirroonni hundi arganuu, kiyyoo buusuun waan gatii hin qabnee dha!
18 Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life.
Namoonni kunneen dhiiguma ofii isaanii riphanii eeggatu; lubbuma ofii isaanii gaadu!
19 Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!
Kun dhuma warra qabeenya karaa hamaadhaan argamu duukaa buʼan hundaa ti; wanni akkasii jireenya warra isa argatanii balleessa.
20 Wisdom, in the open place, soundeth forth, in the broadways, she raiseth her voice;
Ogummaan karaa irratti guddiftee iyyiti; iddoo wal gaʼii uummataattis sagalee ishee ol fudhatti.
21 At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud, —at the openings of the gates in the city—her sayings, she doth utter: —
Isheen fiixee daandii irraa iyyiti; karra magaalaa duraas akkana jettee dubbatti:
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?
“Isin warri homaa hin beekne kun hamma yoomiitti karaa keessan kan faayidaa hin qabne sana jaallattu? Warri namatti qoosan hamma yoomiitti qoosaa sanatti gammadanii gowwoonnis beekumsa jibbu?
23 Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you.
Mormii koo qalbeeffadhaa; ani yaada koo isinii nan dhangalaasa; dubbii koos isiniifin ibsa.
24 Because I called, and ye refused, I stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;
Garuu sababii isin yeroo ani isin waametti diddanii yeroo ani harka balʼifadhetti namni tokko iyyuu na hin dhaggeeffatiniif,
25 But ye dismissed all my counsel, and, to my rebuke, would not yield,
waan isin gorsa koo hunda tuffattanii dheekkamsa koo dhagaʼuu diddaniif,
26 I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread;
anis badiisa keessanitti nan kolfa, yeroo balaan isinitti dhufuttis nan qoosa;
27 When cometh as a crashing your dread, and, your calamity, as a storm-wind, overtaketh, when there come upon you, distress and anguish.
yeroo balaan akkuma bubbeetti isin fudhatutti, yeroo badiisni akkuma bubbee hamaatti isin haxaaʼutti, yeroo dhiphinaa fi rakkinni isinitti dhufutti ani isinittan qoosa.
28 Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me.
“Yeroo sana isaan na waammatu; ani garuu isaan jalaa hin owwaadhu; isaan na barbaadu; garuu na hin argatan.
29 Because they hated knowledge, and, the reverence of Yahweh, did not choose;
Isaan waan beekumsa jibbanii Waaqayyoon sodaachuu illee filachuu didaniif,
30 Consented not to my counsel, disdained all my rebuke,
waan gorsa koo fudhachuu didanii dheekkamsa koos tuffataniif,
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and, with their own counsels, be filled.
isaan gatii karaa isaanii ni nyaatu; buʼaa jalʼina isaaniis ni quufu.
32 For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, —and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them.
Gowwoota waa dagachuutu isaan balleessaatii; quufni gowwootaa isaanuma balleessa;
33 Whereas, he that hearkeneth unto me, shall dwell safely, and be at rest, without dread of misfortune.
namni na dhaggeeffatu kam iyyuu garuu nagaadhaan jiraata; inni qabbanaan jiraata; wanni hamaanis isa hin sodaachisu.”
