Maahmaahyadii 27
1 Berrito ha ku faanin, Waayo, ma ogid waxay maalinu keeni doonto.
Boast not thyself of to-morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth!
2 Mid kale ha ku faaniyo oo yaanu afkaagu ku faanin, Shisheeye ha ku ammaano, oo yaanay bushimahaagu ku ammaanin.
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 Dhagax waa culus yahay, oo cammuuduna way miisaan weyn tahay, Laakiinse waxaa labadoodaba ka sii culus nacas cadhadiis.
A stone is heavy and sand is weighty; But a fool's wrath is heavier than both.
4 Cadho waa naxariisdarro, xanaaqna waa daad, Laakiinse bal yaa hinaaso is-hor taagi kara?
Wrath is cruel, and anger overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 Canaantii bayaan ahu Waa ka wanaagsan tahay jacaylkii qarsoon.
Better is open rebuke Than love kept concealed.
6 Saaxiib nabrihiisu waa daacadnimo, Laakiinse cadow dhunkashooyinkiisu waa khiyaano miidhan.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 Naftii dheregsanu xataa awlallada malabka waa ka yaqyaqsataa, Laakiinse naftii gaajaysan wax kasta oo qadhaadhuba way u macaan yihiin.
He who is fed to the full loatheth the honeycomb; But to the hungry any bitter thing is sweet.
8 Ninkii hoygiisa ka warwareegaa Waa sida shimbir buulkeeda ka warwareegta oo kale.
As a bird that wandereth from its nest, So is a man who wandereth from his place.
9 Saliidda iyo cadarku qalbigay ka farxiyaan, Sidaas oo kalena waxaa nin ka farxiya macaanka saaxiibkiis oo ka yimaada talada qalbiga.
Oil and perfume gladden the heart; Sweet also is one's friend by hearty counsel.
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.
Thine own friend and thy father's friend forsake not; And go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity. Better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.
11 Wiilkaygiiyow, caqli yeelo, oo qalbigayga ka farxi, Si aan ugu jawaabo kii i caayaba.
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may give an answer to him that reproacheth me.
12 Ninkii miyir lahu sharkuu arkaa, wuuna dhuuntaa, Laakiinse garaadlaawayaashu way iska sii maraan, oo waana la taqsiiraa.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; The simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Kii qof qalaad dammiinta dharkiisa ka qaad, Oo kii naag qalaad dammiintana isaga rahmad ahaan u hay.
Take his garment who is surety for another; Yea, take a pledge of him who is bound for a stranger.
14 Kii intuu aroor hore kaco saaxiibkiis cod dheer ugu duceeya, Waxaa loo qaadan doonaa habaar.
He who blesseth his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early for it, It shall be accounted to him as a curse.
15 Maalin roobaabeed dhibicyadeeda aan kala go'in Iyo naag muran badanu waa isku mid.
A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a quarrelsome wife are alike.
16 Ku alla kii iyada celiyaa, dabayshuu celiyaa. Gacantiisa midigna saliid bay qabataa.
He who restraineth her restraineth the wind; And his right hand layeth hold of oil.
17 Bir baa bir afaysa, Oo sidaas oo kale nin baa saaxiibkiis afeeya.
Iron sharpeneth iron; So one man sharpeneth the face of another.
18 Ku alla kii berde xannaanaystaa midhihiisuu cuni doonaa. Oo kii sayidkiisa dhawrana waa la murwayn doonaa.
He that watcheth the fig-tree shall eat its fruit; So he that is careful for his master shall come to honor.
19 Sida fool biyaha dhexdooda fool uga muuqdo, Ayaa nin qalbigiisu nin kale ugu muuqdaa.
As in water face answereth to face, So doth the heart of man to man.
20 She'ool iyo halligaadu weligood ma dhergaan, Dadka indhihiisu weligood ma dhergaan. (Sheol h7585)
The realms of the dead are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
21 Weelka lacagta lagu safeeyo lacagtaa iska leh, oo foornadana dahabkaa iska leh, Sidaas oo kalena nin waxaa lagu tijaabiyaa ammaantiisa.
The refining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; So let a man be to the mouth that giveth him praise.
22 In kastoo aad nacas tib iyo mooye hadhuudh kula tuntid, Weliba nacasnimadiisu ka tegi mayso isaga.
Though thou shouldst beat a fool in a mortar, Among bruised wheat, with a pestle, Yet will not his folly depart from him.
23 Aad ugu dadaal inaad ogaatid xaalka adhigaaga, Oo lo'daadana si wanaagsan u ilaali.
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, And look well to thy herds!
24 Waayo, maalku weligiis siima raago, Taajkuna ab ka ab miyuu waaraa?
For riches last not for ever; Not even a crown endureth from generation to generation.
25 Cawska qallalan markii la gooyo mid cagaar ah oo jilicsan baa soo muuqda, Oo dhalatada buurahana waa la soo urursadaa.
The hay disappeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbage of the mountains is gathered in.
26 Baraarku waa kuu dhar, Oo adhiguna waa kuu qiimihii beerta.
The lambs are thy clothing, And the goats the price of thy field.
27 Waxaa jiri doona caano riyaad oo cunto ugu filan adiga iyo reerkaagaba, Iyo weliba masruufka gabdhaha kuu shaqeeya.
There is goat's milk enough for thy food, For the food of thy household, And for the sustenance of thy maidens.
