Maahmaahyadii 25
1 Oo weliba kuwanuna waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan, Oo boqorkii Yahuudah oo Xisqiyaah ahaa raggiisii ay soo guuriyeen.
These are the miscellaneous instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Ezekias king of Judea copied out.
2 Waa u ammaan Ilaah inuu xaal qariyo, Laakiinse waa u ammaan boqorrada inay xaal baadhaan.
The glory of God conceals a matter: but the glory of a king honors business.
3 Sida samadu u sarrayso, oo dhulkuna u gun dheer yahay, Ayaan qalbiga boqorrada loo baadhi karin.
Heaven is high, and earth is deep, and a king's heart is unsearchable.
4 Lacagta wasakhda ka qaad, Oo dabadeedna waxaa lacagshubaha uga soo bixi doona weel.
Beat the drossy silver, and it shall be made entirely pure.
5 Boqorka hortiisa kuwa sharka leh ka fogee, Oo carshigiisuna xaqnimuu ku taagnaan doonaa.
Slay the ungodly from before the king, and his throne shall prosper in righteousness.
6 Ha isweynweynayn boqorka hortiisa, Oo kuwa waaweyn meeshoodana ha istaagin.
Be not boastful in the presence of the king, and remain not in the places of princes;
7 Amiirkii aad indhahaaga ku aragtay Intii hortiisa lagu hoosaysiin lahaa, Waxaa kuu wanaagsan iyadoo lagu yidhaahdo, Halkan sare kaalay.
for [it is] better for you that it should be said, Come up to me, than that [one] should humble you in the presence of the prince; speak of that which your eyes have seen.
8 Dirir degdeg ha ugu bixin, Waaba intaasoo aad ugu dambaysta garan weydaa waxaad samayn lahayd, Markii uu deriskaagu ku ceebeeyey dabadeed.
Get not suddenly into a quarrel, lest you repent at last.
9 Dacwadaada deriskaaga kala dood, Laakiinse mid kale xaalkiisa qarsoon ha sheegin,
Whenever your friend shall reproach you, retreat backward, despise [him] not;
10 Waaba intaas oo uu ku caayaa kii maqlaa, Oo aanay ceebtaadu kaa hadhin.
lest your friend continue to reproach you, so your quarrel and enmity shall not depart, but shall be to you like death. Favour and friendship set [a man] free, which do you keep for yourself, lest you be made liable to reproach; but take heed to your ways peaceably.
11 Hadalkii si hagaagsan loogu hadlaa Wuxuu la mid yahay tufaaxyo dahab ah oo lagu dhex sameeyey taswiiro lacag ah.
[As] a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, so [is it] to speak a [wise] word.
12 Kii caqli leh oo wax canaantaa wuxuu dhegta wax maqasha oo addeecda ula mid yahay Hilqado dahab ah iyo wax laysku sharraxo oo dahab saafiya ah.
In an ear-ring of gold a precious sardius is also set; [so is] a wise word to an obedient ear.
13 Wargeeyihii aamin ahu wuxuu kuwii isaga soo diray ula mid yahay Qabowga barafka cad oo wakhtiga beergooyska, Waayo, isagu wuxuu qabowjiyaa nafta sayidyadiisa.
As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger [refreshes] those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.
14 Ku alla kii hadiyad been ah isku faaniyaa Wuxuu la mid yahay daruuro iyo dabayl aan roob lahayn.
As winds and clouds and rains are most evident [objects], so is he that boasts of a false gift.
15 Waxaa xaakin wax lagu oggolaysiiyaa dulqaadasho badan, Carrab macaanuna laftuu jebiyaa.
In longsuffering is prosperity to kings, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.
16 Malab ma heshay? In kugu filan oo keliya ka cun, Waaba intaas oo intaad ka dheregto aad soo hunqaacdaaye.
Having found honey, eat [only] what is enough, lest haply you be filled, and vomit it up.
17 Cagtaadu ha ku yaraato guriga deriskaaga, Waaba intaasoo uu kaa daalaa oo uu ku necbaadaaye.
Enter sparingly into your friend's house, lest he be satiated with your company, and hate you.
18 Ninkii deriskiisa marag been ah ku furaa Waa sida budh iyo seef iyo fallaadh af badan oo kale.
[As] a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, so also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.
19 In wakhtiga dhibaatada nin aaminlaawe ah laysku halleeyo Waa sida ilig jaban iyo cag murkacatay oo kale.
The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.
20 Kii qalbi murugaysan u gabyaa Waa sida mid maalin qabow huwiska iska qaada iyo sida khal soodhe lagu shubo oo kale.
As vinegar is bad for a sore, so trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. As a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, so the grief of a man hurts the heart.
21 Cadowgaagu hadduu gaajaysan yahay, wax uu cuno sii, Hadduu harraadsan yahayna waraabi,
If your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;
22 Waayo, dhuxulo dab ah ayaad madaxiisa ku tuuli doontaa, Oo Rabbiguna waa kuu abaalgudi doonaa.
for so doing you shall heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward you [with] good.
23 Dabaysha woqooyi roob bay keentaa, Sidaas oo kale carrabkii xan badanna weji cadhaysan buu keenaa.
The north wind raises clouds; so an impudent face provokes the tongue.
24 In guriga dushiisa dhinac laga joogo ayaa ka roon In guri weyn naag muran badan lala joogo.
[It is] better to dwell on a corner of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.
25 Warkii wanaagsan oo dal fog ka yimaadaa Waa sida biyo qabow ay naf harraadsan u yihiin oo kale.
As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.
26 Ninkii xaq ah ee kii shar leh isu dhiibaa Waa sida durdur qasmay iyo sida il biyood oo wasakhowday oo kale.
As if one should stop a well, and corrupt a spring of water, so [is it] unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.
27 In malab badan la cunaa ma wanaagsana, Sidaas oo kalena in ammaan la doondoontaa ammaan ma aha.
[It is] not good to eat much honey; but it is right to honor venerable sayings.
28 Kii aan ruuxiisa u talin karinu Waa sida magaalo duntay oo aan derbi lahayn oo kale.
As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without counsel.
