2 Nin wuxuu wax wanaagsan ku cuni doonaa midhaha afkiisa, Laakiinse khaayinnada naftoodu waxay cuni doontaa midhaha dulmiga.
A good [man] shall eat of the fruits of righteousness: but the lives of transgressors shall perish before their time.

A righteous man hates an unjust word: but an ungodly man is ashamed, and will have no confidence.
6 Xaqnimadu kii jidkiisu qumman yahay ayay ilaalisaa, Laakiinse sharnimadu dembilaha ayay afgembidaa.

There are [some] who, having nothing, enrich themselves: and there are [some] who bring themselves down in [the midst of] much wealth.

Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads [another] to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.

Sound discretion gives favor, and to know the law is the part of a sound understanding: but the ways of scorners tend to destruction.
16 Nin kasta oo miyir lahu aqoon buu ku shaqeeyaa, Laakiinse nacasku nacasnimuu fidiyaa.
Every prudent man acts with knowledge: but the fool displays his own mischief.

20 Kii kuwa caqliga leh la socdaa, caqli buu yeelan doonaa, Laakiinse kii nacasyada raacaa waa baabbi'i doonaa.
If you walk with wise men you shall be wise: but he that walks with fools shall be known.
21 Dembilayaasha waxaa eryada shar, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah abaal wanaagsan baa loo gudi doonaa.
Evil shall pursue sinners; but good shall overtake the righteous.
22 Ninkii wanaagsanu dhaxal buu uga tagaa carruurta carruurtiisa, Oo maalka dembilahana waxaa loo kaydiyaa kuwa xaqa ah.
A good man shall inherit children's children; and the wealth of ungodly men is laid up for the just.

A just [man] eats and satisfies his soul: but the souls of the ungodly are in lack.
