Wacdiyahii 10
1 Diqsiyadii dhintay saliidda cadarsameeyaha way qudhmiyaan, oo nacasnimadii yaruna saasoo kalay kan xigmadda loo sharfo u bi'isaa.
As dead flies cause perfume to stink, so a little folly can overpower wisdom and honor.
2 Ninkii xigmad leh qalbigiisu xagga midigtuu u jeedaa, laakiinse nacaska qalbigiisu xagga bidixduu u jeedaa.
The heart of a wise person tends to the right, but the heart of a fool tends to the left.
3 Oo weliba kan nacaska ahu markuu jidka marayo wuu caqli yaraadaa, oo ku alla kii uu arkaba wuxuu u sheegaa inuu nacas yahay.
When a fool walks down a road, his thinking is deficient, proving to everyone he is a fool.
4 Haddii taliyahu kugu dhirfo, meeshaada ha ka dhaqaaqin, waayo, qalbiqabowgu xumaano waaweyn wuu qabowjiyaa.
If the emotions of a ruler rise up against you, do not leave your work. Calm can quiet down great outrage.
5 Waxaa jira wax shar ah oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, waxaana weeye qalad taliyaha ka yimaada.
There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, a kind of error that comes from a ruler:
6 Nacasnimadu waxay joogtaa meelo sarsare oo waaweyn oo taajiriintuna waxay fadhiyaan meel hoose.
Fools are given leadership positions, while successful men are given low positions.
7 Waxaan arkay addoommo fardo fuushan, iyo amiirro sida addoommo oo kale lugaynaya.
I have seen slaves riding horses, and successful men walking like slaves on the ground.
8 Kii god qodaa isagaa ku dhici doona, oo ku alla kii deyr dumiyana abeesaa qaniini doonta.
Anyone who digs a pit can fall into it, and whenever someone breaks down a wall, a snake can bite him.
9 Ku alla kii dhagaxyo rujiyaaba wuu ku dhaawacmi doonaa, oo kii qoryo jejebiyaana isagaa khatar ku geli doona.
Whoever cuts out stones can be hurt by them, and the man who chops wood is endangered by it.
10 Haddii birtu af beesho, oo aan la soofayn, waa in xoog badan lagu sii kordhiyaa, laakiinse xigmaddu faa'iido bay leedahay si loogu liibaano.
If an iron blade is dull, and a man does not sharpen it, then he must use more strength, but wisdom provides an advantage for success.
11 Haddii abeeso wax qaniinto iyadoo aan la falfalin, markaas ka dib falfalowgu waxtar ma leh.
If a snake bites before it is charmed, then there is no advantage for the charmer.
12 Kii xigmad leh erayada afkiisu waa raxmad miidhan, laakiinse bushimaha nacasku isaga qudhiisay baabbi'iyaan.
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.
13 Erayada afkiisa bilowgoodu waa nacasnimo, oo dhammaadka hadalkiisuna waa waalli baas.
As words begin to flow from a fool's mouth, foolishness comes out, and at the end his mouth flows with wicked madness.
14 Nacasku hadalkiisa wuu badiyaa, waxa ahaan doona binu-aadmigu garan maayo, oo waxa dabadiis dhici doonana bal yaa u sheegi kara?
A fool multiplies words, but no one knows what is coming. Who knows what is coming after him?
15 Nacasyada hawshoodu midkood kastaba way daalisaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu xataa sida magaalada loo tago ma yaqaan.
The toil of fools wearies them, so that they do not even know the road to town.
16 Dalkow, adaa iska hoogay, markii boqorkaagu ilmo yar yahay, oo amiirradaaduna ay aroortii wax cunaan!
Woe to you, land, if your king is a young boy, and if your leaders begin feasting in the morning!
17 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!
But blessed are you, land, if your king is the son of nobles, and if your leaders eat at the right time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 Caajisnimo badan saqafku waa ku dumaa, oo shuqulla'aanta gacmahana gurigaa ku darroora.
Because of laziness the roof sinks in, and because of idle hands the house leaks.
19 Diyaafadda waxaa loo dhigaa qosol aawadiis, khamriguna naftuu u raaxeeyaa, oo lacagtu wax kastaba way ka jawaabtaa.
People prepare food for laughter, wine brings enjoyment to life, and money fills the need for everything.
20 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.
Do not curse the king, not even in your mind, and do not curse rich people in your bedroom. For a bird of the sky might carry your words; whatever has wings can spread the matter.
