1Kii inta wax badan la canaanto ka madax adkaadaa, Dhaqso buu u jabi doonaa, dawona ma leh.
1He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.
2Markii kuwa xaqa ahu amarka haystaan, dadku wuu reyreeyaa, Laakiinse markii kuwa sharka lahu xukunka wataan, dadku wuu taahaa.
2When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
3Kii xigmad jecelu aabbihiisuu ka farxiyaa, Laakiinse kii dhillooyin raacaa maalkiisuu khasaariyaa.
3Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
4Boqorku gar buu dalka ku dhisaa, Laakiinse kii laaluush jecelu wuu dumiyaa.
4The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.
5Ninkii deriskiisa faaniyaa Shabag dabin ah ayuu cagihiisa hor dhigaa.
5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
6Ninkii shar ah xadgudubkiisa waxaa ku jira dabin, Laakiinse kii xaq ahu waa iska heesaa oo reyreeyaa.
6An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.
7Kii xaq ahu wuxuu ka war hayaa dacwadda masaakiinta, Laakiinse kii shar ahu ma yaqaan aqoontaas.
7The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.
8Kuwa wax quudhsadaa magaalay dab qabadsiiyaan, Laakiinse kuwa caqliga lahu cadhay qabowjiyaan.
8Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
9Haddii nin caqli leh nin nacas ah la doodo, Nasasho ma jirto hadduu cadhoodo iyo hadduu qosloba.
9If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
10Dhiigyocabyadu kii kaamil ah way neceb yihiin, Laakiinse kuwa qumman waxay doondoonaan inay naftiisa badbaadshaan.
10The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity; and they seek the life of the upright.
11Nacasku cadhadiisa oo dhan buu soo saaraa, Laakiinse kii caqli lahu dib buu u ceshadaa, wuuna aamusnaadaa.
11A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.
12Haddii taliye been dhegaysto, Midiidinyadiisa oo dhammu waa wada shar miidhan.
12If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked.
13Miskiinka iyo khaayinku way wada kulmaan, Oo labadoodaba Rabbigu indhahooduu iftiimiyaa.
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both.
14Boqorkii daacadnimo masaakiinta ugu xukuma, Carshigiisu wuu dhisnaan doonaa weligiisba.
14The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
15Usha iyo canaantu caqli bay keenaan, Laakiinse ilmihii layska daayaa ceeb buu hooyadiis u soo jiidaa.
15The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
16Markii kuwa sharka lahu bataan, xadgudub baa sii kordha, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah ayaa dhiciddooda arki doona.
16When the wicked increase, sin increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
17Wiilkaaga edbi, oo isna wuu ku nasin doonaa, Haah, naftaada wuu ka farxin doonaa.
17Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
18Markii aan muujinu jirin dadku waa halligmaa, Laakiinse kii sharciga dhawraa waa barakaysan yahay.
18Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed.
19Addoon hadal kuma edeb yeesho, Waayo, in kastoo uu garanayo ka jawaabi maayo.
19A servant can’t be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
20Ma aragtay nin hadalkiisa ku degdega? Kaas waxaa ka rajo roon nacas.
20Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21Kii addoonkiisa si wanaagsan u soo koriya tan iyo yaraantiisa, Ugu dambaysta wiil buu u noqon doonaa.
21He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end.
22Ninkii xanaaq badanu muran buu kiciyaa. Ninkii cadho kululuna xadgudub buu badsadaa.
22An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin.
23Nin kibirkiisu hoos buu u dejin doonaa, Laakiinse kii is-hoosaysiiyaa sharaf buu heli doonaa.
23A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.
24Ku alla kii tuug la shirkoobaa naftiisuu nacaa, Habaarkuu maqlaa, laakiinse waxba kama sheego.
24Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.
25Dadka ka cabsashadiisu wax bay dabtaa, Laakiinse kii Rabbiga isku halleeyaa wuu nabad geli doonaa.
25The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.
26Kuwo badan baa taliyaha raallinimo ka doona, Laakiinse dadka garsooriddiisu waxay ka timaadaa xagga Rabbiga.Ninkii xaqdaranu waa u karaahiyo kuwa xaqa ah, Oo kii jidka ku qummanuna waa u karaahiyo kii shar ah.
26Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.
27Ninkii xaqdaranu waa u karaahiyo kuwa xaqa ah, Oo kii jidka ku qummanuna waa u karaahiyo kii shar ah.
27A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
