Maahmaahyadii 19
1 Miskiinka daacadnimadiisa ku socda ayaa ka wanaagsan Nacaska bushimihiisu qalloocan yihiin.
Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a fool whose lips are perverse.
2 Oo weliba in naftu aqoon la'aato ma wanaagsana, Oo kii cagihiisu degdegaanna wuu ambadaa.
Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.
3 Nin nacasnimadiisu jidkiisay qalloocisaa, Oo isagu qalbigiisa ayuu Rabbiga uga cadhoodaa.
A man’s own folly subverts his way, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
4 Maalku wuxuu badiyaa saaxiibbo, Laakiinse miskiinku saaxiibkiisa buu ka soocmaa.
Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
5 Markhaatigii been ahu ma taqsiir la'aan doono, Oo kii been ku hadlaana ma baxsan doono.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.
6 Kuwa badan ayaa deeqsiga raallinimo ka baryi doona, Oo nin kastaaba waa u saaxiib kii hadiyado bixiya.
Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
7 Miskiinka walaalihiis oo dhammu way neceb yihiin, Haddaba saaxiibbadiisuna intee bay ka fogaan doonaan! Isagu hadal buu kala daba tagaa iyaga, laakiinse way tageen.
All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
8 Kii xigmadda helaa naftiisuu jecel yahay, Oo kii waxgarashada xajistaana wax wanaagsan buu heli doonaa.
He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
9 Markhaatigii been ahu ma taqsiir la'aan doono, Oo kii been ku hadlaana wuu halligmi doonaa.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
10 Nacaska raaxo uma eka, Waxaana taas ka sii liita in addoon amiirro xukumo.
Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11 Nin miyirkiisu cadho buu ka celiyaa, Oo waxaa isaga ammaan u ah inuu xadgudub dhaafo.
A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12 Boqorka cadhadiisu waa sida libaaxa cidiisa, Laakiinse raallinimadiisu waa sida sayaxa cawska ku dega.
A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 Wiilkii nacas ahu waa u belaayo aabbihiis, Oo naag murammadeeduna waa sida dhibicyo aan kala go'in.
A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
14 Hoy iyo hanti aabbayaashaa laga dhaxlaa, Laakiinse afo miyir leh xagga Rabbigaa laga helaa.
Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Caajisnimo waxay keentaa hurdo weyn, Oo qofkii caajis ahuna wuu gaajoon doonaa.
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
16 Kii amarka dhawraa naftiisuu dhawraa, Laakiinse kii jidadkiisa fudaydsadaa wuu dhiman doonaa.
He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
17 Kii miskiinka u naxaa Rabbiguu wax amaahiyaa, Oo wanaaggii uu sameeyeyna wuu u celin doonaa.
Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
18 Wiilkaaga edbi intay rajo jirto, Laakiinse naftaada ha ku qasbin si uu u dhinto.
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
19 Ninkii cadho badan waa la taqsiiri doonaa, Waayo, haddaad mar isaga samatabbixiso, haddana waa inaad mar kale sidii oo kale ku samaysaa.
A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
20 Talada maqal, oo edbinta qaado, Si aad ugu dambaystaada caqli u yeelatid.
Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
21 Nin qalbigiisa waxaa ku jira hindisooyin badan, Habase ahaatee waxaa taagnaan doonta talada Rabbiga.
Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
22 Nin waxaa loo doonayaa waa raxmaddiisa, Oo miskiinkuna waa ka wanaagsan yahay beenaalaha.
The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
23 Kii Rabbiga ka cabsada waxaa loo kaxeeyaa xagga nolosha, Wuuna sii dheregsanaan doonaa, Oo sharna loo keeni maayo.
The fear of the LORD leads to life, that one may rest content, without visitation from harm.
24 Ninkii caajis ahu wuxuu gacanta geliyaa xeedhada, Oo mar dambe xagga afkiisa uma soo celiyo.
The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25 Kan wax quudhsada garaac, oo garaadlaawaha ayaa miyir yeelan doona, Oo kii garasho leh canaano, oo isna aqoon buu sii korodhsan doonaa.
Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
26 Kii aabbihiis kharriba, hooyadiisna erya, Waa wiil ceeb keena oo cay soo jiida.
He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
27 Wiilkaygiiyow ka joogso in markaad edbinta maqashid Aad dabadeed hadalka aqoonta ka ambatid.
If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 Markhaatigii waxmatare ahu gartuu quudhsadaa, Oo kan sharka leh afkiisuna wuxuu liqaa xumaan.
A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
29 Kuwa wax quudhsada waxaa loo diyaariyey xukunno, Oo dhabarka nacasyadana waxaa loo diyaariyey karbaash.
Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
