Maahmaahyadii 19
1 Miskiinka daacadnimadiisa ku socda ayaa ka wanaagsan Nacaska bushimihiisu qalloocan yihiin.
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than one of perverse lips, who is a fool.
2 Oo weliba in naftu aqoon la'aato ma wanaagsana, Oo kii cagihiisu degdegaanna wuu ambadaa.
Also in the want of knowledge in the soul there is nothing good; and he that hasteneth with his feet misseth the right path.
3 Nin nacasnimadiisu jidkiisay qalloocisaa, Oo isagu qalbigiisa ayuu Rabbiga uga cadhoodaa.
The folly of a man perverteth his way, and against the Lord will his heart rage.
4 Maalku wuxuu badiyaa saaxiibbo, Laakiinse miskiinku saaxiibkiisa buu ka soocmaa.
Wealth bringeth many friends; but the poor becometh separated from his [only] friend.
5 Markhaatigii been ahu ma taqsiir la'aan doono, Oo kii been ku hadlaana ma baxsan doono.
A false witness shall not remain unpunished, and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.
6 Kuwa badan ayaa deeqsiga raallinimo ka baryi doona, Oo nin kastaaba waa u saaxiib kii hadiyado bixiya.
Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; and every one is the friend to him that bestoweth gifts.
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 the poor hate him: how much more do his friends go far away from him! he pursueth [their] promises; but these are [all] that he hath.
8 Kii xigmadda helaa naftiisuu jecel yahay, Oo kii waxgarashada xajistaana wax wanaagsan buu heli doonaa.
He that getteth intelligence loveth his own soul: he that guardeth understanding will find happiness.
9 Markhaatigii been ahu ma taqsiir la'aan doono, Oo kii been ku hadlaana wuu halligmi doonaa.
A false witness shall not remain unpunished, and he that uttereth lies shall perish.
10 Nacaska raaxo uma eka, Waxaana taas ka sii liita in addoon amiirro xukumo.
Delicacy is not seemly for a fool: much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 Nin miyirkiisu cadho buu ka celiyaa, Oo waxaa isaga ammaan u ah inuu xadgudub dhaafo.
It is intelligence in man to be slow in his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 Boqorka cadhadiisu waa sida libaaxa cidiisa, Laakiinse raallinimadiisu waa sida sayaxa cawska ku dega.
Like the roaring of a young lion is the wrath of a king: as dew upon the herbs is his favor.
13 Wiilkii nacas ahu waa u belaayo aabbihiis, Oo naag murammadeeduna waa sida dhibicyo aan kala go'in.
A calamity unto his father is a foolish son; and a continual dropping are the quarrels of a wife.
14 Hoy iyo hanti aabbayaashaa laga dhaxlaa, Laakiinse afo miyir leh xagga Rabbigaa laga helaa.
House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but from the Lord [cometh] an intelligent wife.
15 Caajisnimo waxay keentaa hurdo weyn, Oo qofkii caajis ahuna wuu gaajoon doonaa.
Slothfulness casteth [man] into a deep sleep; and an indolent soul will suffer hunger.
16 Kii amarka dhawraa naftiisuu dhawraa, Laakiinse kii jidadkiisa fudaydsadaa wuu dhiman doonaa.
He that observeth the commandment guardeth his own soul: but he that disregardeth [directing] his ways [aright] shall die.
17 Kii miskiinka u naxaa Rabbiguu wax amaahiyaa, Oo wanaaggii uu sameeyeyna wuu u celin doonaa.
He lendeth unto the Lord that is liberal to the poor, and his good deed will he repay unto him.
18 Wiilkaaga edbi intay rajo jirto, Laakiinse naftaada ha ku qasbin si uu u dhinto.
Chastise thy son, for there is hope; and let not thy soul spare [him] for his crying.
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 fury must suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, thou must still do it again.
20 Talada maqal, oo edbinta qaado, Si aad ugu dambaystaada caqli u yeelatid.
Hear counsel, and accept correction, in order that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 Nin qalbigiisa waxaa ku jira hindisooyin badan, Habase ahaatee waxaa taagnaan doonta talada Rabbiga.
There are many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord alone will stand firm.
22 Nin waxaa loo doonayaa waa raxmaddiisa, Oo miskiinkuna waa ka wanaagsan yahay beenaalaha.
The longing of a man is [to exercise] his kindness; and a poor man is better 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 leadeth unto life: and he [that hath it] shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 Ninkii caajis ahu wuxuu gacanta geliyaa xeedhada, Oo mar dambe xagga afkiisa uma soo celiyo.
When a slothful man hath hidden his hand in the dish, then will he 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.
Smite a scorner, and the simple will become prudent; and if one that hath understanding be admonished, he will understand knowledge.
26 Kii aabbihiis kharriba, hooyadiisna erya, Waa wiil ceeb keena oo cay soo jiida.
He that plundereth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that bringeth shame and dishonor.
27 Wiilkaygiiyow ka joogso in markaad edbinta maqashid Aad dabadeed hadalka aqoonta ka ambatid.
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth [thee] to err from the sayings of knowledge.
28 Markhaatigii waxmatare ahu gartuu quudhsadaa, Oo kan sharka leh afkiisuna wuxuu liqaa xumaan.
An ungodly witness scorneth at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth mischief.
29 Kuwa wax quudhsada waxaa loo diyaariyey xukunno, Oo dhabarka nacasyadana waxaa loo diyaariyey karbaash.
Punishments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
