Proverbs 11
1 A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.
Waaqayyo madaalii hin amanamne ni balfa; madaalii dhugaatti immoo ni gammada.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh contempt, but, with the modest, is wisdom.
Gaafa of tuuluun dhufu, salphinatu dhufa; gad of qabiisa wajjin immoo ogummaatu dhufa.
3 The integrity of the upright, shall guide them, but, the crookedness of the treacherous, shall be their ruin.
Amanamummaan tolootaa isaan dura deema; warri hin amanamne garuu dabuma isaaniitiin badu.
4 Wealth, shall not profit, in the day of wrath, but, righteousness, shall deliver from death.
Guyyaa dheekkamsaatti qabeenyi faayidaa hin qabu; qajeelummaan garuu duʼa jalaa nama baasa.
5 The righteousness of the blameless, shall smooth his way, but, by his own lawlessness, shall the lawless one, fall.
Qajeelummaan warra mudaa hin qabnee karaa qajeelaa baasaaf; hamoonni garuu hamminuma isaaniitiin badu.
6 The righteousness of the upright, shall deliver them, but, by their own craving, shall the treacherous be captured.
Qajeelummaan tolootaa isaan oolcha; warri hin amanamne garuu hawwii hamaadhaan qabamu.
7 When the lawless man dieth, his expectation, perisheth, and, the hope of strong men, hath vanished.
Yeroo namni hamaan duʼu, abdiin isaas ni bada; wanni namni hamaan eeggatus ni barbadeeffama.
8 The righteous man, out of distress, is delivered, then cometh a lawless man into his place.
Namni qajeelaan rakkoo jalaa ni baafama; rakkoon sunis qooda isaa nama hamaa irra gaʼa.
9 With the mouth, a profane man destroyeth his neighbour, but, through knowledge, shall righteous men be delivered.
Namni Waaqatti hin bulle dubbii afaan isaatiin ollaa isaa balleessa; namni qajeelaan immoo beekumsaan miliqa.
10 When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.
Yommuu namni qajeelaan badhaadhu magaalaan ni gammada; yommuu namni hamaan barbadaaʼu immoo iyya gammachuutu dhagaʼama.
11 When the upright are blessed, exalted is the city, but, by the mouth of the lawless, it is overthrown.
Eebba nama tolaatiin magaalaan ulfina argata; afaan nama hamaatiin garuu ni barbadeeffama.
12 He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, lacketh sense, but, a man of understanding, observeth silence.
Namni sammuu hin qabne ollaa isaa tuffata; kan hubannaa qabu garuu ni calʼisa.
13 He that goeth about talebearing, revealeth a secret, but, he that is faithful in spirit, concealeth a matter.
Namni odeessu dhoksaa gad baasa; kan amanamu garuu icciitii eega.
14 With no guidance, a people will fall, but, safety, lieth in the greatness of the counsellor.
Qajeelfama dhabiisaan sabni ni kufa; baayʼina gorsitootaatiin garuu nagaatu argama.
15 He that becometh surety for a stranger, goeth to utter ruin, but, he that hateth striking hands, is secure.
Namni nama hin beekneef wabii taʼu ni rakkata; namni namaaf kakachuuf jedhee harka dhaʼuu didu immoo nagaan jiraata.
16 A gracious wife, obtaineth honour, but, the diligent, shall obtain wealth.
Dubartiin gara laafettiin ulfina argatti; namoonni garaa dhagaa immoo qabeenya qofa argatu.
17 The man of lovingkindness, dealeth well with his own soul, but the cruel man, troubleth his own flesh.
Namni gaariin of fayyada; gara jabeessi garuu rakkina ofitti fida.
18 The lawless man, earneth the wages of falsehood, but, he that soweth righteousness, hath the reward of fidelity.
Namni hamaan mindaa sobaa argata; kan qajeelummaa facaafatu immoo badhaasa dhugaa argata.
19 A righteous son, [turneth] to life, but, he that pursueth wickedness, to his own death.
Namni qajeelaan dhugumaan jireenya argata; kan waan hamaa duukaa buʼu garuu gara duʼaa argata.
20 The abomination of Yahweh, are they of perverse heart, but, his delight, are the men of blameless life.
Waaqayyo warra yaada jalʼaa qaban balfa; warra karaan isaanii mudaa hin qabnetti immoo ni gammada.
21 Hand to hand, the wicked man shall not be held innocent, but, the seed of the righteous, hath been delivered.
Waan kana hubadhu: Namni hamaan utuu hin adabamin hin hafu; qajeeltonni garuu bilisa baʼu.
22 As a ring of gold in the snout of a swine, is a woman of beauty who hath abandoned discretion.
Dubartiin miidhagduun qalbii hin qabne akkuma qubeelaa warqee kan funyaan booyyeetti jirtuu ti.
23 The desire of the righteous, is only good, the expectation of the lawless, is wrath.
Wanni qajeeltonni hawwan gaarii taʼaaf; abdiin hamootaa garuu dheekkamsa qofa taʼa.
24 There is who scattereth, and increaseth yet more, and who withholdeth of what is due, only to come to want.
Namni tokko toluma waa namaa kenna; taʼus ittuma caalchisee sooroma; kaan immoo waan kennuu malu dhowwata; taʼus inuma hiyyooma.
25 The liberal soul, shall be enriched, and, he that refresheth, shall himself also be refreshed.
Namni arjaan ni badhaadha; namni warra kaan dheebuu baasu ofii isaatii illee dheebuu baʼa.
26 He that keepeth back corn, the populace will curse him, but there is, a blessing, for the head of him that selleth.
Nama dhoksee midhaan kuufatu sabni ni abaara; kan gurguruuf fedhii qabu immoo eebbatu gonfoo taʼaaf.
27 He that diligently seeketh good, aimeth at favour, but, he that studieth mischief, it shall come on himself.
Namni waan gaarii barbaadu carraa gaarii argata; hamminni garuu nama hammina barbaadutti dhufa.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, the same, shall fall, but, like the leaf, shall the righteous break forth.
Namni sooruma ofii isaa abdatu kam iyyuu ni kufa; qajeelaan garuu akkuma baala magariisaatti lalisa.
29 He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the wind, but, a servant, shall the foolish be, to the wise in heart.
Namni maatii isaatti rakkoo fidu bubbee qofa dhaala; gowwaan immoo garbicha nama ogeessaa taʼa.
30 The fruit of the righteous, is a tree of life, and, he that rescueth souls, is wise.
Iji nama qajeelaa muka jireenyaa ti; namni lubbuu namaa baraaru immoo ogeessa.
31 Lo! the righteous, in the earth shall be recompensed, how much more the lawless and the sinner.
Erga qajeeltonni lafa irratti gatii isaanii argatanii, namni Waaqatti hin bullee fi cubbamaan hammam caalaa haa argatanii ree!
