< Maahmaahyadii 19 >
1 Miskiinka daacadnimadiisa ku socda ayaa ka wanaagsan Nacaska bushimihiisu qalloocan yihiin.
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
2 Oo weliba in naftu aqoon la'aato ma wanaagsana, Oo kii cagihiisu degdegaanna wuu ambadaa.
It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.
3 Nin nacasnimadiisu jidkiisay qalloocisaa, Oo isagu qalbigiisa ayuu Rabbiga uga cadhoodaa.
The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Jehovah.
4 Maalku wuxuu badiyaa saaxiibbo, Laakiinse miskiinku saaxiibkiisa buu ka soocmaa.
Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
5 Markhaatigii been ahu ma taqsiir la'aan doono, Oo kii been ku hadlaana ma baxsan doono.
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
6 Kuwa badan ayaa deeqsiga raallinimo ka baryi doona, Oo nin kastaaba waa u saaxiib kii hadiyado bixiya.
Many will seek the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives 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 relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him. He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
8 Kii xigmadda helaa naftiisuu jecel yahay, Oo kii waxgarashada xajistaana wax wanaagsan buu heli doonaa.
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
9 Markhaatigii been ahu ma taqsiir la'aan doono, Oo kii been ku hadlaana wuu halligmi doonaa.
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
10 Nacaska raaxo uma eka, Waxaana taas ka sii liita in addoon amiirro xukumo.
Delicate living is not appropriate 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.
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
12 Boqorka cadhadiisu waa sida libaaxa cidiisa, Laakiinse raallinimadiisu waa sida sayaxa cawska ku dega.
The king's wrath is like the roaring 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 the calamity of his father. A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping.
14 Hoy iyo hanti aabbayaashaa laga dhaxlaa, Laakiinse afo miyir leh xagga Rabbigaa laga helaa.
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
15 Caajisnimo waxay keentaa hurdo weyn, Oo qofkii caajis ahuna wuu gaajoon doonaa.
Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 Kii amarka dhawraa naftiisuu dhawraa, Laakiinse kii jidadkiisa fudaydsadaa wuu dhiman doonaa.
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
17 Kii miskiinka u naxaa Rabbiguu wax amaahiyaa, Oo wanaaggii uu sameeyeyna wuu u celin doonaa.
He who has pity on the poor lends to Jehovah; he will reward him.
18 Wiilkaaga edbi intay rajo jirto, Laakiinse naftaada ha ku qasbin si uu u dhinto.
Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not be a willing 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 hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
20 Talada maqal, oo edbinta qaado, Si aad ugu dambaystaada caqli u yeelatid.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
21 Nin qalbigiisa waxaa ku jira hindisooyin badan, Habase ahaatee waxaa taagnaan doonta talada Rabbiga.
There are many plans in a man's heart, but Jehovah's counsel will prevail.
22 Nin waxaa loo doonayaa waa raxmaddiisa, Oo miskiinkuna waa ka wanaagsan yahay beenaalaha.
That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. 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 Jehovah leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
24 Ninkii caajis ahu wuxuu gacanta geliyaa xeedhada, Oo mar dambe xagga afkiisa uma soo celiyo.
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Kan wax quudhsada garaac, oo garaadlaawaha ayaa miyir yeelan doona, Oo kii garasho leh canaano, oo isna aqoon buu sii korodhsan doonaa.
Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26 Kii aabbihiis kharriba, hooyadiisna erya, Waa wiil ceeb keena oo cay soo jiida.
He who robs his father and drives away his mother, is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Wiilkaygiiyow ka joogso in markaad edbinta maqashid Aad dabadeed hadalka aqoonta ka ambatid.
If you stop listening to 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 the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
29 Kuwa wax quudhsada waxaa loo diyaariyey xukunno, Oo dhabarka nacasyadana waxaa loo diyaariyey karbaash.
Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
