Ecclesiastes 10
1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an offensive odor: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honor.
Diqsiyadii dhintay saliidda cadarsameeyaha way qudhmiyaan, oo nacasnimadii yaruna saasoo kalay kan xigmadda loo sharfo u bi'isaa.
2 A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart [is] at his left.
Ninkii xigmad leh qalbigiisu xagga midigtuu u jeedaa, laakiinse nacaska qalbigiisu xagga bidixduu u jeedaa.
3 Also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he [is] a fool.
Oo weliba kan nacaska ahu markuu jidka marayo wuu caqli yaraadaa, oo ku alla kii uu arkaba wuxuu u sheegaa inuu nacas yahay.
4 If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
Haddii taliyahu kugu dhirfo, meeshaada ha ka dhaqaaqin, waayo, qalbiqabowgu xumaano waaweyn wuu qabowjiyaa.
5 There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
Waxaa jira wax shar ah oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, waxaana weeye qalad taliyaha ka yimaada.
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
Nacasnimadu waxay joogtaa meelo sarsare oo waaweyn oo taajiriintuna waxay fadhiyaan meel hoose.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
Waxaan arkay addoommo fardo fuushan, iyo amiirro sida addoommo oo kale lugaynaya.
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Kii god qodaa isagaa ku dhici doona, oo ku alla kii deyr dumiyana abeesaa qaniini doonta.
9 Whoever removeth stones shall be hurt by them; [and] he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered by it.
Ku alla kii dhagaxyo rujiyaaba wuu ku dhaawacmi doonaa, oo kii qoryo jejebiyaana isagaa khatar ku geli doona.
10 If the iron is blunt, and he doth not whet the edge, then must he use more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
Haddii birtu af beesho, oo aan la soofayn, waa in xoog badan lagu sii kordhiyaa, laakiinse xigmaddu faa'iido bay leedahay si loogu liibaano.
11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Haddii abeeso wax qaniinto iyadoo aan la falfalin, markaas ka dib falfalowgu waxtar ma leh.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
Kii xigmad leh erayada afkiisu waa raxmad miidhan, laakiinse bushimaha nacasku isaga qudhiisay baabbi'iyaan.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
Erayada afkiisa bilowgoodu waa nacasnimo, oo dhammaadka hadalkiisuna waa waalli baas.
14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Nacasku hadalkiisa wuu badiyaa, waxa ahaan doona binu-aadmigu garan maayo, oo waxa dabadiis dhici doonana bal yaa u sheegi kara?
15 The labor of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
Nacasyada hawshoodu midkood kastaba way daalisaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu xataa sida magaalada loo tago ma yaqaan.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
Dalkow, adaa iska hoogay, markii boqorkaagu ilmo yar yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay aroortii wax cunaan!
17 Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
Dalkow, waad barakaysan tahay, markii boqorkaagu nin gobeed yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay wakhti habboon wax u cunaan inay xoog ku yeeshaan ee aan ahayn inay sakhraamaan!
18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
Caajisnimo badan saqafku waa ku dumaa, oo shuqulla'aanta gacmahana gurigaa ku darroora.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things].
Diyaafadda waxaa loo dhigaa qosol aawadiis, khamriguna naftuu u raaxeeyaa, oo lacagtu wax kastaba way ka jawaabtaa.
20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber: for a bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.
Boqorka ha ku caayin xataa fikirkaaga, oo taajirkana ha ku caayin qolladdaada jiifka, waayo, shimbir hawada duusha ayaa codkaaga qaadi doonta, oo wax baalal leh ayaa xaalka sheegi doona.
