Maahmaahyadii 13
1 Wiilkii caqli lahu wuxuu maqlaa edbinta aabbihiis, Laakiinse kii wax quudhsadaa canaanta ma maqlo.
A wise son — the instruction of a father, And a scorner — he hath not heard rebuke.
2 Nin wuxuu wax wanaagsan ku cuni doonaa midhaha afkiisa, Laakiinse khaayinnada naftoodu waxay cuni doontaa midhaha dulmiga.
From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous — violence.
3 Kii afkiisa dhawraa wuxuu dhawraa naftiisa, Laakiinse kii bushimihiisa aad u kala qaadaa wuu baabbi'i doonaa.
Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips — ruin to him!
4 Kii caajis ah naftiisu wax bay damacdaa, mana hesho, Laakiinse nafta kii dadaala waa la barwaaqaysiin doonaa.
The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5 Ninkii xaq ahu beenta wuu neceb yahay, Laakiinse ninkii shar lahu waa karaahiyo, wuuna ceeboobaa.
A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.
6 Xaqnimadu kii jidkiisu qumman yahay ayay ilaalisaa, Laakiinse sharnimadu dembilaha ayay afgembidaa.
Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.
7 Waxaa jira nin hodan iska dhiga laakiinse aan waxba haysan, Oo waxaa jira mid miskiin iska dhiga laakiinse maal badan leh.
There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.
8 Nin wuxuu noloshiisa ku furtaa maalkiisa, Laakiinse miskiinku canaanta ma maqlo.
The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.
9 Iftiinka kuwa xaqa ahu weligii wuu reyreeyaa, Laakiinse laambadda kuwa sharka leh waa la bakhtiin doonaa.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10 Isqabasho oo keliya ayaa kibir ka timaada, Laakiinse kii waanada qaata waxaa la jirta xigmad.
A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled [is] wisdom.
11 Maalkii degdeg lagu helaa wuu dhinmi doonaa, Laakiinse kan hawl wax ku soo urursadaa waa sii korodhsan doonaa.
Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.
12 Rajadii raagtaa qalbigay bukaysiisaa, Laakiinse markii wixii la doonayay la helo waa geed nololeed.
Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life [is] the coming desire.
13 Ku alla kii erayga quudhsadaa halligaad ayuu isu keenaa, Laakiinse kii amarka ka cabsada waa loo abaalgudi doonaa.
Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed.
14 Ninkii caqli leh waxbariddiisu waa il nololeed, In dabinnada dhimashada laga leexdo.
The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
15 Waxgarashadii wanaagsan raalli baa laga noqdaa, Laakiinse jidka khaayinnadu waa xun yahay.
Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous [is] hard.
16 Nin kasta oo miyir lahu aqoon buu ku shaqeeyaa, Laakiinse nacasku nacasnimuu fidiyaa.
Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.
17 Wargeeyihii shar lahu xumaan buu ku dhex dhacaa, Laakiinse ergadii aamin ahu waa caafimaad.
A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.
18 Caydhnimo iyo ceebba waxaa lahaan doona kii edbinta diida, Laakiinse kii canaanta maqla waa la murwayn doonaa.
Whoso is refusing instruction — poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.
19 Wixii la doonayay oo la gaadhay nafta way u macaan tahay, Laakiinse nacasyadu aad bay u karhaan inay sharka ka fogaadaan.
A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an abomination to fools [is]: Turn from evil.
20 Kii kuwa caqliga leh la socdaa, caqli buu yeelan doonaa, Laakiinse kii nacasyada raacaa waa baabbi'i doonaa.
Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.
21 Dembilayaasha waxaa eryada shar, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah abaal wanaagsan baa loo gudi doonaa.
Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.
22 Ninkii wanaagsanu dhaxal buu uga tagaa carruurta carruurtiisa, Oo maalka dembilahana waxaa loo kaydiyaa kuwa xaqa ah.
A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous [is] the sinner's wealth.
23 Beerta masaakiinta waxaa ku taal cunto badan, Laakiinse gardarro aawadeed in baa loo baabbi'iyaa.
Abundance of food — the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.
24 Kii ushiisa ceshadaa wiilkiisuu neceb yahay; Laakiinse kii wiilkiisa jecelu aad buu u edbiyaa.
Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.
25 Kan xaqa ahu wax buu cunaa ilaa naftiisu dheregto, Laakiinse caloosha kuwa sharka lahu way baahnaan doontaa.
The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!
