< Maahmaahyadii 13 >
1 Wiilkii caqli lahu wuxuu maqlaa edbinta aabbihiis, Laakiinse kii wax quudhsadaa canaanta ma maqlo.
A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
2 Nin wuxuu wax wanaagsan ku cuni doonaa midhaha afkiisa, Laakiinse khaayinnada naftoodu waxay cuni doontaa midhaha dulmiga.
A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
3 Kii afkiisa dhawraa wuxuu dhawraa naftiisa, Laakiinse kii bushimihiisa aad u kala qaadaa wuu baabbi'i doonaa.
He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
4 Kii caajis ah naftiisu wax bay damacdaa, mana hesho, Laakiinse nafta kii dadaala waa la barwaaqaysiin doonaa.
The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
5 Ninkii xaq ahu beenta wuu neceb yahay, Laakiinse ninkii shar lahu waa karaahiyo, wuuna ceeboobaa.
The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
6 Xaqnimadu kii jidkiisu qumman yahay ayay ilaalisaa, Laakiinse sharnimadu dembilaha ayay afgembidaa.
Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
7 Waxaa jira nin hodan iska dhiga laakiinse aan waxba haysan, Oo waxaa jira mid miskiin iska dhiga laakiinse maal badan leh.
A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
8 Nin wuxuu noloshiisa ku furtaa maalkiisa, Laakiinse miskiinku canaanta ma maqlo.
A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
9 Iftiinka kuwa xaqa ahu weligii wuu reyreeyaa, Laakiinse laambadda kuwa sharka leh waa la bakhtiin doonaa.
There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
10 Isqabasho oo keliya ayaa kibir ka timaada, Laakiinse kii waanada qaata waxaa la jirta xigmad.
The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
11 Maalkii degdeg lagu helaa wuu dhinmi doonaa, Laakiinse kan hawl wax ku soo urursadaa waa sii korodhsan doonaa.
Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
12 Rajadii raagtaa qalbigay bukaysiisaa, Laakiinse markii wixii la doonayay la helo waa geed nololeed.
Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
13 Ku alla kii erayga quudhsadaa halligaad ayuu isu keenaa, Laakiinse kii amarka ka cabsada waa loo abaalgudi doonaa.
He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
14 Ninkii caqli leh waxbariddiisu waa il nololeed, In dabinnada dhimashada laga leexdo.
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
15 Waxgarashadii wanaagsan raalli baa laga noqdaa, Laakiinse jidka khaayinnadu waa xun yahay.
Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
16 Nin kasta oo miyir lahu aqoon buu ku shaqeeyaa, Laakiinse nacasku nacasnimuu fidiyaa.
A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
17 Wargeeyihii shar lahu xumaan buu ku dhex dhacaa, Laakiinse ergadii aamin ahu waa caafimaad.
A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
18 Caydhnimo iyo ceebba waxaa lahaan doona kii edbinta diida, Laakiinse kii canaanta maqla waa la murwayn doonaa.
Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.
19 Wixii la doonayay oo la gaadhay nafta way u macaan tahay, Laakiinse nacasyadu aad bay u karhaan inay sharka ka fogaadaan.
To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
20 Kii kuwa caqliga leh la socdaa, caqli buu yeelan doonaa, Laakiinse kii nacasyada raacaa waa baabbi'i doonaa.
Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
21 Dembilayaasha waxaa eryada shar, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah abaal wanaagsan baa loo gudi doonaa.
Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
22 Ninkii wanaagsanu dhaxal buu uga tagaa carruurta carruurtiisa, Oo maalka dembilahana waxaa loo kaydiyaa kuwa xaqa ah.
The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
23 Beerta masaakiinta waxaa ku taal cunto badan, Laakiinse gardarro aawadeed in baa loo baabbi'iyaa.
There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
24 Kii ushiisa ceshadaa wiilkiisuu neceb yahay; Laakiinse kii wiilkiisa jecelu aad buu u edbiyaa.
He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
25 Kan xaqa ahu wax buu cunaa ilaa naftiisu dheregto, Laakiinse caloosha kuwa sharka lahu way baahnaan doontaa.
The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.
