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 someone else praise you and not your own mouth; a stranger and not your own lips.
3 Dhagax waa culus yahay, oo cammuuduna way miisaan weyn tahay, Laakiinse waxaa labadoodaba ka sii culus nacas cadhadiis.

A person who has eaten to the full rejects even a honeycomb, but to the hungry person, every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Ninkii hoygiisa ka warwareegaa Waa sida shimbir buulkeeda ka warwareegta oo kale.
Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who strays from where he lives.
9 Saliidda iyo cadarku qalbigay ka farxiyaan, Sidaas oo kalena waxaa nin ka farxiya macaanka saaxiibkiis oo ka yimaada talada qalbiga.
Perfume and incense make the heart rejoice, but the sweetness of a friend comes from his sincere 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.
Do not forsake your friend and your friend's father, and do not go to your brother's house on the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is nearby than a brother who is far away.
11 Wiilkaygiiyow, caqli yeelo, oo qalbigayga ka farxi, Si aan ugu jawaabo kii i caayaba.

12 Ninkii miyir lahu sharkuu arkaa, wuuna dhuuntaa, Laakiinse garaadlaawayaashu way iska sii maraan, oo waana la taqsiiraa.

Whoever gives his neighbor a blessing with a loud voice early in the morning, that blessing will be considered to be a curse!
15 Maalin roobaabeed dhibicyadeeda aan kala go'in Iyo naag muran badanu waa isku mid.
A quarreling wife is like the constant dripping on a rainy day;
16 Ku alla kii iyada celiyaa, dabayshuu celiyaa. Gacantiisa midigna saliid bay qabataa.
restraining her is like restraining the wind, or trying to catch oil in your right hand.
17 Bir baa bir afaysa, Oo sidaas oo kale nin baa saaxiibkiis afeeya.
Iron sharpens iron; in the same way, a man sharpens his friend.
18 Ku alla kii berde xannaanaystaa midhihiisuu cuni doonaa. Oo kii sayidkiisa dhawrana waa la murwayn doonaa.
The one who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and the one who protects his master will be honored.

Just as water reflects a person's face, so a person's heart reflects the person.
20 She'ool iyo halligaadu weligood ma dhergaan, Dadka indhihiisu weligood ma dhergaan. (Sheol h7585)
Just as Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, so a man's eyes 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.
A crucible is for silver and a furnace is for gold; and a person is tested when he is praised.
22 In kastoo aad nacas tib iyo mooye hadhuudh kula tuntid, Weliba nacasnimadiisu ka tegi mayso isaga.
Even if you crush a fool with the pestle—along with the grain— yet his foolishness will not leave him.
23 Aad ugu dadaal inaad ogaatid xaalka adhigaaga, Oo lo'daadana si wanaagsan u ilaali.
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks and be concerned about your herds,
24 Waayo, maalku weligiis siima raago, Taajkuna ab ka ab miyuu waaraa?
for wealth is not forever. Does a crown endure for all generations?
25 Cawska qallalan markii la gooyo mid cagaar ah oo jilicsan baa soo muuqda, Oo dhalatada buurahana waa la soo urursadaa.
You should know when the hay is gone and the new growth appears, and the time when the grass from the hills is gathered in.
26 Baraarku waa kuu dhar, Oo adhiguna waa kuu qiimihii beerta.

27 Waxaa jiri doona caano riyaad oo cunto ugu filan adiga iyo reerkaagaba, Iyo weliba masruufka gabdhaha kuu shaqeeya.
There will be goats' milk for your food—the food for your household— and nourishment for your servant girls.
