Maahmaahyadii 25
1 Oo weliba kuwanuna waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan, Oo boqorkii Yahuudah oo Xisqiyaah ahaa raggiisii ay soo guuriyeen.
These are also proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed:
2 Waa u ammaan Ilaah inuu xaal qariyo, Laakiinse waa u ammaan boqorrada inay xaal baadhaan.
The glory of God [is] to hide a thing, And the glory of kings [is] to search out a matter.
3 Sida samadu u sarrayso, oo dhulkuna u gun dheer yahay, Ayaan qalbiga boqorrada loo baadhi karin.
The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings—[are] unsearchable.
4 Lacagta wasakhda ka qaad, Oo dabadeedna waxaa lacagshubaha uga soo bixi doona weel.
Take away dross from silver, And a vessel goes forth for the refiner,
5 Boqorka hortiisa kuwa sharka leh ka fogee, Oo carshigiisuna xaqnimuu ku taagnaan doonaa.
Take away the wicked before a king, And his throne is established in righteousness.
6 Ha isweynweynayn boqorka hortiisa, Oo kuwa waaweyn meeshoodana ha istaagin.
Do not honor yourself before a king, And do not stand in the place of the great.
7 Amiirkii aad indhahaaga ku aragtay Intii hortiisa lagu hoosaysiin lahaa, Waxaa kuu wanaagsan iyadoo lagu yidhaahdo, Halkan sare kaalay.
For better [that] he has said to you, “Come up here,” Than [that] he humbles you before a noble, Whom 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.
Do not go forth to strive, hurry, turn, What do you do in its latter end, When your neighbor causes you to blush?
9 Dacwadaada deriskaaga kala dood, Laakiinse mid kale xaalkiisa qarsoon ha sheegin,
Plead your cause with your neighbor, And do not reveal the secret counsel of another,
10 Waaba intaas oo uu ku caayaa kii maqlaa, Oo aanay ceebtaadu kaa hadhin.
Lest the hearer put you to shame, And your evil report not turn back.
11 Hadalkii si hagaagsan loogu hadlaa Wuxuu la mid yahay tufaaxyo dahab ah oo lagu dhex sameeyey taswiiro lacag ah.
Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken at its fit times.
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.
A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive 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 vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Ku alla kii hadiyad been ah isku faaniyaa Wuxuu la mid yahay daruuro iyo dabayl aan roob lahayn.
Clouds and wind without rain, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15 Waxaa xaakin wax lagu oggolaysiiyaa dulqaadasho badan, Carrab macaanuna laftuu jebiyaa.
A ruler is persuaded by long-suffering, And a soft tongue breaks a bone.
16 Malab ma heshay? In kugu filan oo keliya ka cun, Waaba intaas oo intaad ka dheregto aad soo hunqaacdaaye.
You have found honey—eat your sufficiency, Lest you are satiated [with] it, and have vomited it.
17 Cagtaadu ha ku yaraato guriga deriskaaga, Waaba intaasoo uu kaa daalaa oo uu ku necbaadaaye.
Withdraw your foot from your neighbor’s house, Lest he is satiated [with] you, and has hated you.
18 Ninkii deriskiisa marag been ah ku furaa Waa sida budh iyo seef iyo fallaadh af badan oo kale.
A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man testifying a false testimony against his neighbor.
19 In wakhtiga dhibaatada nin aaminlaawe ah laysku halleeyo Waa sida ilig jaban iyo cag murkacatay oo kale.
A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, [Is] the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
20 Kii qalbi murugaysan u gabyaa Waa sida mid maalin qabow huwiska iska qaada iyo sida khal soodhe lagu shubo oo kale.
Whoever is taking away a garment in a cold day, [Is as] vinegar on natron, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
21 Cadowgaagu hadduu gaajaysan yahay, wax uu cuno sii, Hadduu harraadsan yahayna waraabi,
If he who is hating you hungers, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirsts, cause him to drink water.
22 Waayo, dhuxulo dab ah ayaad madaxiisa ku tuuli doontaa, Oo Rabbiguna waa kuu abaalgudi doonaa.
For you are putting coals on his head, And YHWH gives repayment to you.
23 Dabaysha woqooyi roob bay keentaa, Sidaas oo kale carrabkii xan badanna weji cadhaysan buu keenaa.
A north wind brings forth rain, And a secret tongue—indignant faces.
24 In guriga dushiisa dhinac laga joogo ayaa ka roon In guri weyn naag muran badan lala joogo.
Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions, and a house of company.
25 Warkii wanaagsan oo dal fog ka yimaadaa Waa sida biyo qabow ay naf harraadsan u yihiin oo kale.
[As] cold waters for a weary soul, So [is] a good report from a far country.
26 Ninkii xaq ah ee kii shar leh isu dhiibaa Waa sida durdur qasmay iyo sida il biyood oo wasakhowday oo kale.
A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, [Is] the righteous falling before the wicked.
27 In malab badan la cunaa ma wanaagsana, Sidaas oo kalena in ammaan la doondoontaa ammaan ma aha.
The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one’s own honor—honor.
28 Kii aan ruuxiisa u talin karinu Waa sida magaalo duntay oo aan derbi lahayn oo kale.
A city broken down without walls, [Is] a man without restraint over his spirit!
