7A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And [to] a hungry soul every bitter thing [is] sweet.
7Naftii dheregsanu xataa awlallada malabka waa ka yaqyaqsataa, Laakiinse naftii gaajaysan wax kasta oo qadhaadhuba way u macaan yihiin.
8As a bird wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering from his place.
8Ninkii hoygiisa ka warwareegaa Waa sida shimbir buulkeeda ka warwareegta oo kale.
9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one`s friend — from counsel of the soul.
9Saliidda iyo cadarku qalbigay ka farxiyaan, Sidaas oo kalena waxaa nin ka farxiya macaanka saaxiibkiis oo ka yimaada talada qalbiga.

14Kii intuu aroor hore kaco saaxiibkiis cod dheer ugu duceeya, Waxaa loo qaadan doonaa habaar.
15A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike,
15Maalin roobaabeed dhibicyadeeda aan kala go'in Iyo naag muran badanu waa isku mid.
16Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out.
16Ku alla kii iyada celiyaa, dabayshuu celiyaa. Gacantiisa midigna saliid bay qabataa.
17Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.
