< Proverbs 26 >

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so, unbecoming to a dullard is honour.
Sida wakhtiga kulul aan baraf cad ugu habboonayn, oo wakhtiga beergooyska aan roob ugu habboonayn, Ayaan sharaf nacas ugu habboonayn.
2 As a sparrow in wandering, as a swallow in flying, so, a causeless curse, shall not alight.
Sida shimbir iska wareegaysa iyo sida dabafallaadh iska duulaysa, Ayaan habaarkii sababla'aan ahu cidna ugu dhacayn.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of dullards.
Jeedal faras buu ku habboon yahay, dacayna dameer, Ulina dhabarka nacaska.
4 Do not answer a dullard, according to his folly, lest, even thou thyself, become like him;
Nacas ha ugu jawaabin sida nacasnimadiisu tahay, Waaba intaasoo aad sidiisa oo kale noqotaaye.
5 Answer a dullard according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes.
Nacas ugu jawaab sida nacasnimadiisu tahay, Waaba intaasoo uu isla caqli weynaadaaye.
6 One who cutteth off feet, one who drinketh down wrong, is he who sendeth a message by the hand of a dullard.
Kii nacas gacantiis farriin u sii dhiibaa Cagahuu iska gooyaa oo khasaaruu cabbaa.
7 Useless are the legs of the lame, and a proverb, in the mouth of a dullard.
Sida lugaha curyaanku u laalaadaan Ayuu masaalkuna u yahay afka nacasyada.
8 Like tying a stone to a sling, so, is he that giveth honour, to a dullard.
Kii nacas sharaf siiyaa Wuxuu la mid yahay mid wadhaf dhagax ku xidha oo kale.
9 A brier cometh into the hand of a drunken-man, a proverb into the mouth of dullards.
Sida qodaxdu u dhex gasho sakhraan gacantiis, Ayuu masaalkuna u yahay afka nacasyada.
10 [As] an archer who woundeth every thing, [so] one who hireth a dullard, and a drunkard crossing the sea.
Kii nacaska ama kuwa jidka maraya kiraystaa Waa sida qaansoole dadka oo dhan dhaawaca oo kale.
11 As, a dog, returneth onto his own vomit, a dullard, repeateth his folly.
Nacas nacasnimadiisa ku noqnoqdaa Waa sida eey mantaggiisa ku noqnoqda oo kale.
12 Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eye, —more hope of a dullard, than of him!
Nin isla caqli weyn ma aragtay? Waxaa isaga ka rajo roon nacas.
13 Saith the sluggard, A roaring lion in the road! A tearing lion in the midst of the broadways.
Ninkii caajis ahu wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Libaax baa waddada jooga; Libaax baa jidka taagan.
14 The door, turneth on its hinges, and, the sluggard, upon his bed.
Sida albaabku birihiisa ugu noqnoqdo, Ayaa kii caajis ahuna sariirtiisa isugu rogrogaa.
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
Kii caajis ahu wuxuu gacantiisa geliyaa xeedhadiisa, Oo inuu afkiisa ku soo celiyona waa ku dhib isaga.
16 Wiser is the sluggard in his own eyes, than, seven persons, who can answer with judgment.
Kii caajis ahu waa iskala caqli badan yahay Toddoba nin oo xigmad ku jawaabi karta.
17 As he who layeth hold of the ears of a dog, is a passer-by, who giveth vent to his wrath over a quarrel, not his!
Kii isagoo jidka iska maraya isku dhex dara dirir aanu waxba ku lahayn, Wuxuu la mid yahay mid eey dhegaha qabta oo kale.
18 As a madman throwing firebrands, arrows and death,
Sida nin waalan oo rida dab, Iyo fallaadho, iyo dhimasho,
19 So, is a man who deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Was not, I, in sport?
Ayuu yahay kii intuu deriskiisa khiyaaneeyo, Haddana yidhaahda, Miyaanan cayaarayn?
20 Without wood a fire is quenched, and, where there is no tattler, strife is hushed.
Xaabola'aanta dabku waa bakhtiyaa, Oo meeshii aan mid xan badanu jooginna muranku waa ka joogsadaa.
21 Black coal to burning blocks, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man, for kindling strife.
Sida dhuxuli raran u sii shiddo, qoryona dab u sii belbeliyaan, Ayuu ninkii muran badanuna dirir u sii kiciyaa.
22 the words of a tattler, are dainties, they, therefore go down into the chambers of the inner man.
Kii xan badan erayadiisu waa sida cunto macaan, Oo waxay ku degaan meelaha caloosha ugu hooseeya.
23 Dross silver overlaid upon earthenware, so are burning lips, with a mischievous heart:
Bushimihii macaan iyo qalbigii shar lehba Waxay la mid yihiin weel dhoobo ah oo lagu dahaadhay lacag wasakhdeed.
24 With his lips, the hater dissembleth, but, within himself, he layeth up deceit:
Kii wax necebu bushimihiisuu isku yeelyeelaa, Laakiinse uurkiisuu khiyaano ku kaydsadaa.
25 Though he make gracious his voice, do not trust him, for, seven abominations, are in his heart:
Markuu si wacan u hadlo ha rumaysan, Waayo, waxaa qalbigiisa ku jira toddoba karaahiyo.
26 Hatred may clothe itself with guile, his wickedness shall be disclosed in the convocation.
In kastoo nacaybkiisu khiyaano isku daboolo, Xumaantiisa ayaa shirka lagu hor muujin doonaa.
27 He that diggeth a pit, thereinto, shall fall, and, he that rolleth a stone, upon himself, shall it return.
Ku alla kii bohol qodaaba isagaa ku dhex dhici doona, Oo kii dhagax giringiriyana, isaguu ku soo rogman doonaa.
28 A false tongue, hateth them who are crushed by it, and, a flattering mouth, worketh occasion of stumbling.
Carrabkii been sheega wuxuu neceb yahay kuwuu dhaawacay, Oo afkii wax faaniyaana wuxuu ka shaqeeyaa baabba'.
