Maahmaahyadii 27
1 Berrito ha ku faanin, Waayo, ma ogid waxay maalinu keeni doonto.
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
2 Mid kale ha ku faaniyo oo yaanu afkaagu ku faanin, Shisheeye ha ku ammaano, oo yaanay bushimahaagu ku ammaanin.
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth— a stranger, and not your own lips.

The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.
8 Ninkii hoygiisa ka warwareegaa Waa sida shimbir buulkeeda ka warwareegta oo kale.
Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Saliidda iyo cadarku qalbigay ka farxiyaan, Sidaas oo kalena waxaa nin ka farxiya macaanka saaxiibkiis oo ka yimaada talada qalbiga.
Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
10 Ha ka tegin saaxiibkaa iyo aabbahaa saaxiibkiis toona, Oo maalintii masiibadaadana guriga walaalkaa ha tegin, Deris kuu dhowu waa ka wanaagsan yahay walaal kaa fog.
Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.
15 Maalin roobaabeed dhibicyadeeda aan kala go'in Iyo naag muran badanu waa isku mid.
A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
16 Ku alla kii iyada celiyaa, dabayshuu celiyaa. Gacantiisa midigna saliid bay qabataa.
restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
17 Bir baa bir afaysa, Oo sidaas oo kale nin baa saaxiibkiis afeeya.
