Proverbs 14
1 Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.
Dubartiin ogeettiin mana ishee ijaarratti; gowwaan immoo harkuma isheetiin mana ofii diigdi.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness, is one who revereth Yahweh, but, he that is crooked in his way, is one who despiseth him.

3 In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them!

Ati nama gowwaa irraa fagaadhu; arraba isaa irraa beekumsa hin argattuutii.
8 The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.
