Maahmaahyadii 26
1 Sida wakhtiga kulul aan baraf cad ugu habboonayn, oo wakhtiga beergooyska aan roob ugu habboonayn, Ayaan sharaf nacas ugu habboonayn.
As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
2 Sida shimbir iska wareegaysa iyo sida dabafallaadh iska duulaysa, Ayaan habaarkii sababla'aan ahu cidna ugu dhacayn.
As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
3 Jeedal faras buu ku habboon yahay, dacayna dameer, Ulina dhabarka nacaska.
A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Nacas ha ugu jawaabin sida nacasnimadiisu tahay, Waaba intaasoo aad sidiisa oo kale noqotaaye.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
5 Nacas ugu jawaab sida nacasnimadiisu tahay, Waaba intaasoo uu isla caqli weynaadaaye.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
6 Kii nacas gacantiis farriin u sii dhiibaa Cagahuu iska gooyaa oo khasaaruu cabbaa.
He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
7 Sida lugaha curyaanku u laalaadaan Ayuu masaalkuna u yahay afka nacasyada.
As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
8 Kii nacas sharaf siiyaa Wuxuu la mid yahay mid wadhaf dhagax ku xidha oo kale.
As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 Sida qodaxdu u dhex gasho sakhraan gacantiis, Ayuu masaalkuna u yahay afka nacasyada.
As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Kii nacaska ama kuwa jidka maraya kiraystaa Waa sida qaansoole dadka oo dhan dhaawaca oo kale.
Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
11 Nacas nacasnimadiisa ku noqnoqdaa Waa sida eey mantaggiisa ku noqnoqda oo kale.
As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
12 Nin isla caqli weyn ma aragtay? Waxaa isaga ka rajo roon nacas.
Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
13 Ninkii caajis ahu wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Libaax baa waddada jooga; Libaax baa jidka taagan.
The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
14 Sida albaabku birihiisa ugu noqnoqdo, Ayaa kii caajis ahuna sariirtiisa isugu rogrogaa.
As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 Kii caajis ahu wuxuu gacantiisa geliyaa xeedhadiisa, Oo inuu afkiisa ku soo celiyona waa ku dhib isaga.
The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
16 Kii caajis ahu waa iskala caqli badan yahay Toddoba nin oo xigmad ku jawaabi karta.
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
17 Kii isagoo jidka iska maraya isku dhex dara dirir aanu waxba ku lahayn, Wuxuu la mid yahay mid eey dhegaha qabta oo kale.
As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
18 Sida nin waalan oo rida dab, Iyo fallaadho, iyo dhimasho,
As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
19 Ayuu yahay kii intuu deriskiisa khiyaaneeyo, Haddana yidhaahda, Miyaanan cayaarayn?
So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
20 Xaabola'aanta dabku waa bakhtiyaa, Oo meeshii aan mid xan badanu jooginna muranku waa ka joogsadaa.
When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
21 Sida dhuxuli raran u sii shiddo, qoryona dab u sii belbeliyaan, Ayuu ninkii muran badanuna dirir u sii kiciyaa.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
22 Kii xan badan erayadiisu waa sida cunto macaan, Oo waxay ku degaan meelaha caloosha ugu hooseeya.
The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Bushimihii macaan iyo qalbigii shar lehba Waxay la mid yihiin weel dhoobo ah oo lagu dahaadhay lacag wasakhdeed.
Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
24 Kii wax necebu bushimihiisuu isku yeelyeelaa, Laakiinse uurkiisuu khiyaano ku kaydsadaa.
An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
25 Markuu si wacan u hadlo ha rumaysan, Waayo, waxaa qalbigiisa ku jira toddoba karaahiyo.
When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
26 In kastoo nacaybkiisu khiyaano isku daboolo, Xumaantiisa ayaa shirka lagu hor muujin doonaa.
He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
27 Ku alla kii bohol qodaaba isagaa ku dhex dhici doona, Oo kii dhagax giringiriyana, isaguu ku soo rogman doonaa.
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
28 Carrabkii been sheega wuxuu neceb yahay kuwuu dhaawacay, Oo afkii wax faaniyaana wuxuu ka shaqeeyaa baabba'.
A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
