Proverbs 20
1 Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
Khamri waa dadquudhsade, waxa lagu sakhraamona waa qaylokiciye, Oo ku alla kii ku qaldamaana caqli ma laha.
2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
Boqorka cabsigeliddiisu waa sida libaaxa cidiisa, Oo ku alla kii ka xanaajiyaa, naftiisuu ku dembaabaa.
3 It is an honour for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarrelling.
Nin inuu dirir ka joogsado waa u sharaf, Laakiinse nacas waluba wuu ilaaqtamaa.
4 The sluggard will not plough by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
Kii caajis ahu qabowga aawadiis beer ma jeexo, Oo sidaas daraaddeed wakhtiga beergooyska wuu baryootami doonaa, oo waxba ma heli doono.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
Talada dadka qalbigiisa ku jirtaa waa sida biyo gun dheer, Laakiinse ninkii garasho leh ayaa ka soo dhaansan doona.
6 Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?
Dadka intooda badanu waxay naadiyaan raxmaddooda, Laakiinse nin aamin ah bal yaa heli kara?
7 A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
Ninka xaqa ah oo daacadnimadiisa ku socda, Carruurtiisu way barakaysnaadaan isaga dabadiis.
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgement scatters away all evil with his eyes.
Boqorkii carshiga garsooridda ku fadhiyaa Indhihiisuu sharka oo dhan ku kala firdhiyaa.
9 Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin”?
Bal yaa odhan kara, Qalbigayga waan nadiifiyey, Oo dembigayga waan ka daahirsanahay?
10 Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
Miisaanno kala cayn ah iyo qiyaaso kala cayn ah, Labaduba Rabbiga waa u karaahiyo.
11 Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
Xataa ilmo yar waxaa lagu yaqaan falimihiisa, Inuu shuqulkiisu daahir yahay iyo inuu hagaagsan yahayba.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD has made even both of them.
Dhegta wax maqasha iyo isha wax aragtaba, Labadaba Rabbigaa sameeyey.
13 Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
Hurdo ha jeclaan, waaba intaas oo aad caydhowdaaye. Indhaha kala qaad, oo cuntaad ka dhergi doontaa.
14 “It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
Kan wax iibsadaa wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Waa xun yahay, waa xun yahay, Laakiinse markuu tago ayuu faanaa.
15 There is gold and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
Waxaa jira dahab iyo luul badan, Laakiinse bushimihii aqoon lahu waa jawharad qaali ah.
16 Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
Kii qof qalaad dammiinta dharkiisa ka qaad, Oo markuu shisheeyayaal dammiinto, isaga rahmad ahaan u hay.
17 Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
Cuntadii khiyaano lagu helaa dadka way u macaan tahay, Laakiinse dabadeed afkiisa waxaa ka buuxsami doona quruurux.
18 Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!
Qasdi kasta waxaa lagu taagaa talo, Oo waano wanaagsan ku dagaallan.
19 He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
Kii sida mid xan badan u warwareegaa wuxuu daaha ka qaadaa waxyaalo qarsoon, Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed kii bushimihiisa kala qaada ha ku darsamin.
20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
Kii aabbihiis ama hooyadiis caaya, Laambaddiisa waxaa lagu bakhtiin doonaa gudcur dam ah.
21 An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.
Dhaxalkii markii hore degdeg lagu helay, Ugu dambaysta ma barakoobi doono.
22 Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for the LORD, and he will save you.
Ha odhan, Shar baan ka abaalgudayaa. Rabbiga sug, oo isna wuu ku badbaadin doonaa.
23 The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
Miisaanno kala cayn ahu Rabbiga waa u karaahiyo, Oo kafaddii khiyaano ahuna ma wanaagsana.
24 A man’s steps are from the LORD; how then can man understand his way?
Nin socodkiisu waa xagga Rabbiga, Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed dad sidee buu jidkiisa u garan karaa?
25 It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.
Waa u dabin nin inuu nacasnimo ku yidhaahdo, Waa quduus, Oo uu dabadeed u nidraa inuu wax weyddiiyo.
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
Boqorkii caqli lahu kuwa sharka leh wuu hufaa, Oo wuxuu dushooda marsiiyaa giringirta.
27 The spirit of man is the LORD’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
Dadka ruuxiisu waa laambaddii Rabbiga, Oo wuxuu baadhaa caloosha meelaha ugu hooseeya oo dhan.
28 Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
Naxariista iyo runtu boqorkay ilaaliyaan, Oo carshigiisuna wuxuu ku taagnaadaa naxariis.
29 The glory of young men is their strength. The splendour of old men is their grey hair.
Dhallinyarada xooggoodu waa ammaantooda, Oo cirrada odayaashuna waa quruxdooda.
30 Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.
Garaaciddii nabro yeeshaa waxay dadka ka nadiifisaa sharka, Oo dilidda karbaashkuna sidaas oo kalay u gashaa caloosha meelaha ugu hooseeya.
