< Maahmaahyadii 12 >
1 Ku alla kii edbinta jecelu aqoon buu jecel yahay, Laakiinse kii canaanta necebu waa doqon.
Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
2 Rabbigu ninka wanaagsan raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa. Laakiinse khaayinka wuu xukumi doonaa.
A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
3 Ninna shar kuma dhismi doono, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah xididkooda weligiis lama dhaqaajin doono.
A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
4 Naagtii toolmoonu waxay ninkeeda u tahay taaj, Laakiinse tii ceebalay ahu waa sida qudhun isaga lafaha kaga jira.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
5 Kuwa xaqa ah fikirradoodu waa qumman yihiin, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh taladoodu waa khiyaano.
The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 Kuwa sharka leh erayadoodu waa gabbasho ay u gabbadaan si ay dhiig u daadiyaan, Laakiinse kuwa qumman afkooda ayaa samatabbixin doona.
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 Kuwa sharka leh waa la afgembiyaa, oo mar dambena lama arki doono, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah gurigoodu waa sii taagnaan doonaa.
The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 Nin waxaa loogu bogi doonaa sida xigmaddiisu tahay, Laakiinse kii qalbigiisu qalloocan yahay waa la quudhsan doonaa.
A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
9 Kii la fudaydsado oo midiidin lahu Waa ka wanaagsan yahay kii isweyneeya oo cunto u baahan.
Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
10 Nin xaq ahu waa u tudhaa neefkiisa, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh naxdintoodu waa naxariisla'aan oo keliya.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 Kii dhulkiisa beertaa cunto badan buu ka dhergi doonaa, Laakiinse kii waxmatarayaal raacaa waa garaad daranyahay.
He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
12 Kan sharka lahu wuxuu damcaa dabinka xumaanfalayaasha, Laakiinse xididka kuwa xaqa ahu midhuu dhalaa.
The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 Kan sharka leh waxaa u dabin ah xadgudubka bushimihiisa, Laakiinse kan xaqa ahu dhibaatada wuu ka bixi doonaa.
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
14 Nin wuxuu wanaag kaga dhergi doonaa midhaha afkiisa, Oo nin walbana waxa gacmihiisu sameeyaan ayaa loo abaalgudi doonaa.
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 Nacaska jidkiisu waa la qumman yahay isaga, Laakiinse kii caqli lahu taladuu maqlaa.
The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16 Nacaska xanaaqiisa haddiiba waa la gartaa, Laakiinse ninkii miyir lahu ceebtuu qariyaa.
A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17 Kii runta ku hadlaa wuxuu muujiyaa xaqnimada, Laakiinse markhaatiga beenta ahu wuxuu muujiyaa khiyaanada.
He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
18 Waxaa jira mid u hadla sida seef wax mudaysa, Laakiinse kan caqliga leh carrabkiisu waa caafimaad.
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 Bushintii runta sheegtaa weligeedba way sii taagnaan doontaa, Laakiinse carrabkii beenta sheegaa daqiiqad buu joogaa.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Kuwa sharka ku fikira qalbigooda khiyaanaa ku jirta, Laakiinse taliyayaasha nabaddu farxad bay leeyihiin.
Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21 Sharna kan xaqa ah ku dhici maayo, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh xumaan baa ka buuxsami doonta.
There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
22 Bushimaha beenta sheega Rabbigu wuu karhaa. Laakiinse kuwa runta ku shaqeeya wuu ku farxaa.
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
23 Ninkii miyir lahu aqoontuu qariyaa, Laakiinse qalbiga nacasyadu wuxuu naadiyaa nacasnimo.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 Kuwa dadaala gacantoodu wax bay xukumi doontaa, Laakiinse caajisiinta hawl baa la saari doonaa.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Ninkii caloolxumo gashaa wuu soo gotaa, Laakiinse eray wanaagsanu waa ka farxiyaa isaga.
Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
26 Kan xaqa ahu deriskiisuu hanuuniyaa, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh jidkoodu wuu ambiyaa iyaga.
The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27 Ninkii caajis ahu ma dubto wuxuu soo ugaadhsaday, Laakiinse ninkii dadaala maalkiisu waa qaali.
The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
28 Jidka xaqnimada nolol baa taal; Oo waddadeedana dhimasho kuma jirto.
In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
