< Maahmaahyadii 28 >
1 Kuwa sharka lahu waxay cararaan iyadoo aan ciduna eryanayn, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ahu waxay u dhiirran yihiin sida libaax oo kale.
The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2 Waddan xadgudubkiisa aawadiis amiirradu way badan yihiin, Laakiinse ninkii waxgarasho iyo aqoon leh dowladdiisu way sii raagtaa.
In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
3 Miskiin masaakiinta dulmaa Waa sida roob dhulka xaadha oo aan cunto ka tegin.
A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4 Kuwa sharciga ka tagaa waxay ammaanaan kuwa sharka leh, Laakiinse kuwa sharciga dhawra ayaa iyaga la dirira.
Those who forsake the Law praise the wicked; but those who keep the Law contend with them.
5 Nimanka sharka lahu garsooridda ma gartaan, Laakiinse kuwa Rabbiga doondoonaa wax walbay gartaan.
Evil men do not understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
6 Kii jidad qalloocan ku socda, in kastoo uu taajir yahay, Waxaa ka roon miskiinka daacadnimadiisa ku socda.
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
7 Ku alla kii sharciga dhawraa waa wiil caqli leh, Laakiinse kii raaca kuwa cirta weyn, aabbihiisuu ceebeeyaa.
Whoever keeps the Law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 Kii korsaar iyo ribo maalkiisa ku korodhsadaa, Wuxuu u ururin doonaa mid masaakiinta u naxariista.
He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
9 Kii dhegtiisa ka leexiya inuu sharciga maqlo, Xataa baryootankiisu waa karaahiyo.
He who turns away his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10 Ku alla kii kuwa xaqa ah jid shar ah ku ambiyaa, Isagaa ku dhici doona godkiisa, Laakiinse kuwa qummanu wax wanaagsan bay dhaxli doonaan.
Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
11 Taajirku waa isla caqli weyn yahay, Laakiinse miskiinka waxgarashada leh ayaa isaga kashifa.
The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
12 Kuwa xaqa ahu markay guulaystaan, waxaa jirta ammaan weyn, Laakiinse markii kuwa sharka lahu sara kacaan dadku waa dhuuntaa.
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13 Kii xadgudubyadiisa qariyaa ma liibaani doono, Laakiinse kii qirta oo haddana ka tagaa, naxariis buu heli doonaa.
He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
14 Ninkii mar kasta cabsadaa waa barakaysan yahay, Laakiinse kii qalbigiisa sii adkeeyaa masiibuu ku dhici doonaa.
Blessed is the man who is always reverent; but the one who hardens his heart will fall into evil.
15 Taliyihii shar lahu wuxuu dadka masaakiintaa ku yahay Sida libaax ciyaya iyo sida orso weerar ah oo kale.
As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
16 Amiirkii garaaddaranu waa nin dulun weyn, Laakiinse kii neceb faa'iidada xaqdarrada ah cimrigiisuu dheerayn doonaa.
A prince who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but one who hates ill-gotten gain will prolong his days.
17 Ninkii nin dhiiggiis qabaa Wuxuu u carari doonaa godka, oo ninna yaanu ka joojin.
A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; no one will support him.
18 Ku alla kii si qumman u socda waa la samatabbixin doonaa, Laakiinse kii si qalloocan laba jid ugu socdaa haddiiba wuu dhici doonaa.
Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
19 Kii dhulkiisa beertaa, cunto badan buu ka dhergi doonaa, Laakiinse kii waxmatarayaal raacaa wuxuu ka dhergi doonaa caydhnimo.
One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
20 Ninkii aamin ahu aad buu u barakoobi doonaa, Laakiinse kii taajirnimo ku degdegaa ma taqsiir la'aan doono.
A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 Ma wanaagsana in dadka loo kala eexdo, Iyo inuu nin xabbad kibis ah u xadgudbo toona.
To show partiality is not good; yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22 Kii taajirnimo ku degdegaa waa qumay, Mana oga inuu caydhoobi doono.
A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn't know that poverty waits for him.
23 Kii nin canaantaa wuxuu marka dambe heli doonaa Raallinimo ka badan kan carrabka ku faaniya.
One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Kii aabbihiis ama hooyadiis wax ka dhaca oo haddana yidhaahda, Taasu xadgudub ma aha, Wuxuu saaxiib la yahay kii wax dumiya.
Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer.
25 Kii hunguri weynu muran buu kiciyaa, Laakiinse kii Rabbiga isku halleeya waa la barwaaqaysiin doonaa.
One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
26 Kii qalbigiisa isku halleeyaa waa nacas, Laakiinse ku alla kii si caqli ah u socda waa la samatabbixin doonaa.
One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
27 Kii miskiinka wax siiyaa ma baahan doono, Laakiinse kii indhaha ka qarsada aad baa loo habaari doonaa.
One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28 Markii kuwa sharka lahu kacaan dadku waa dhuuntaa, Laakiinse markay halligmaan, kuwa xaqa ahu way sii kordhaan.
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
