Proverbs 13
1 A wise son, [cometh of] a father’s correction, but, a scoffer, heareth not a rebuke.
Ilmi ogeessi gorsa abbaa isaa dhagaʼa; qoostuun namaa immoo dheekkamsa hin dhaggeeffatu.
2 Of the fruit of his mouth, shall a man eat what is good, but, the soul of the treacherous, [shall be sated with] violence.
Namni waan afaan isaatii baʼuun waan gaariin gammada; namni hin amanamne garuu jeequmsaaf ariifata.
3 He that watcheth his mouth, guardeth his soul, He that openeth wide his lips, [it shall be] his ruin.
Namni arraba isaa eeggatu, jireenya isaa eeggata; kan of eeggachuu malee dubbatu immoo baduuf ariifata.
4 The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.
Fedhiin dhibaaʼaa yoom iyyuu hin guutamu; fedhiin nama jabaatee hojjetuu immoo guutumaan ni milkaaʼa.
5 A word of falsehood, the righteous man, hateth, but, the lawless, causeth shame and disgrace.
Namni qajeelaan soba jibba; namni hamaan garuu qaanii fi salphina fida.

7 There is who feigneth himself rich, yet hath nothing at all, who pleadeth poverty, yet hath great substance.
Namni tokko sooressa of fakkeessa; garuu homaa hin qabu; tokko immoo hiyyeessa of fakkeessa; garuu qabeenya guddaa qaba.
8 The ransom of a man’s life, is his wealth, but, the poor, heareth not rebuke.
Soorumni nama tokkoo furii jireenya isaa taʼuu dandaʼa; hiyyeessi garuu ifannaa hin dhagaʼu.
9 The light of the righteous, rejoiceth, but, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out.
Ifni nama qajeelaa akka gaarii ifa; ibsaan nama hamaa garuu ni dhaama.

Of tuulummaan lola qofa baayʼisa; ogummaan garuu warra gorsa dhagaʼan biratti argamti.
11 Wealth gotten by greed, diminisheth, but, he that gathereth by little, increaseth.

16 Every prudent man, maketh use of knowledge, but, a dullard, spreadeth folly.
Namni qalbii qabu kam iyyuu beekumsaan hojjeta; gowwaan immoo gowwummaa isaa mulʼisa.
17 A lawless messenger, falleth into mischief, but, a faithful herald, bringeth healing.
Ergamaan hamaan rakkoo keessa seena; ergamaan amanamaan garuu fayyina fida.
18 Poverty and contempt, are for him that neglecteth correction, but, he that regardeth reproof, shall be honoured.
Namni adabamuu jibbu ni hiyyooma; ni qaanaʼas; kan sirreeffama kabaju immoo ulfina argata.
19 A desire fulfilled, is sweet to the soul, but it is, an abomination to the lawless, to depart from evil.
Hawwiin guutame namatti miʼaawa; gowwoonni garuu waan hamaa irraa deebiʼuu balfu.
20 He that walketh with the wise, becometh wise, but, the friend of dullards, becometh foolish.
Namni nama ogeessa wajjin deemu ogeessa taʼa, michuun gowwootaa garuu ni miidhama.

22 A good man, leaveth an inheritance to children’s children, but, laid up for the righteous, is the wealth of the sinner.
Namni gaariin ilmaan ilmaan isaatiif dhaala dabarsa; qabeenyi nama cubbamaa garuu qajeeltotaaf kuufama.
23 Much food, is in the fallow ground of the poor, but there is that is swept away, for want of justice.
Qonnaan hiyyeessaa midhaan guddaa baasa; murtiin jalʼaan garuu haxaaʼee duraa balleessa.

25 The righteous, eateth to satisfy his appetite, but, the belly of the lawless, shall want.
Namni qajeelaan hamma quufutti nyaata; garaan nama hamaa garuu ni beelaʼa.
