Maahmaahyadii 25
1 Oo weliba kuwanuna waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan, Oo boqorkii Yahuudah oo Xisqiyaah ahaa raggiisii ay soo guuriyeen.
These, too, are parables of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transferred.
2 Waa u ammaan Ilaah inuu xaal qariyo, Laakiinse waa u ammaan boqorrada inay xaal baadhaan.
It is to the glory of God to conceal a word, and it is to the glory of kings to investigate speech.
3 Sida samadu u sarrayso, oo dhulkuna u gun dheer yahay, Ayaan qalbiga boqorrada loo baadhi karin.
Heaven above, and earth below, and the heart of kings are each unsearchable.
4 Lacagta wasakhda ka qaad, Oo dabadeedna waxaa lacagshubaha uga soo bixi doona weel.
Take away the tarnish from silver, and a most pure vessel will go forth.
5 Boqorka hortiisa kuwa sharka leh ka fogee, Oo carshigiisuna xaqnimuu ku taagnaan doonaa.
Take away impiety from the face of the king, and his throne shall be made firm by justice.
6 Ha isweynweynayn boqorka hortiisa, Oo kuwa waaweyn meeshoodana ha istaagin.
Do not appear glorious before the king, and do not stand in the place of the great.
7 Amiirkii aad indhahaaga ku aragtay Intii hortiisa lagu hoosaysiin lahaa, Waxaa kuu wanaagsan iyadoo lagu yidhaahdo, Halkan sare kaalay.
For it is better that it should be said to you, “Ascend to here,” than that you should be humbled before the prince.
8 Dirir degdeg ha ugu bixin, Waaba intaasoo aad ugu dambaysta garan weydaa waxaad samayn lahayd, Markii uu deriskaagu ku ceebeeyey dabadeed.
The things that your eyes have seen, do not offer hastily in a quarrel, lest afterward you may not be able to make amends, when you have dishonored your friend.
9 Dacwadaada deriskaaga kala dood, Laakiinse mid kale xaalkiisa qarsoon ha sheegin,
Argue your case with your friend, and do not reveal the secret to an outsider,
10 Waaba intaas oo uu ku caayaa kii maqlaa, Oo aanay ceebtaadu kaa hadhin.
lest perhaps he may insult you, when he has heard it, and he might not cease to reproach you. Grace and friendship free a man; preserve these for yourself, lest you fall under reproach.
11 Hadalkii si hagaagsan loogu hadlaa Wuxuu la mid yahay tufaaxyo dahab ah oo lagu dhex sameeyey taswiiro lacag ah.
Whoever speaks a word at an opportune time is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
12 Kii caqli leh oo wax canaantaa wuxuu dhegta wax maqasha oo addeecda ula mid yahay Hilqado dahab ah iyo wax laysku sharraxo oo dahab saafiya ah.
Whoever reproves the wise and obedient ear is like an earring of gold with a shining pearl.
13 Wargeeyihii aamin ahu wuxuu kuwii isaga soo diray ula mid yahay Qabowga barafka cad oo wakhtiga beergooyska, Waayo, isagu wuxuu qabowjiyaa nafta sayidyadiisa.
Just like the cold of snow in a time of harvest, so also is a faithful messenger to him who sent him: he causes his soul to rest.
14 Ku alla kii hadiyad been ah isku faaniyaa Wuxuu la mid yahay daruuro iyo dabayl aan roob lahayn.
A man who boasts and does not fulfill his promises is like clouds and wind, when rain does not follow.
15 Waxaa xaakin wax lagu oggolaysiiyaa dulqaadasho badan, Carrab macaanuna laftuu jebiyaa.
By patience, a leader shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
16 Malab ma heshay? In kugu filan oo keliya ka cun, Waaba intaas oo intaad ka dheregto aad soo hunqaacdaaye.
You have discovered honey; eat what is sufficient for you, lest perhaps, being filled up, you may vomit it.
17 Cagtaadu ha ku yaraato guriga deriskaaga, Waaba intaasoo uu kaa daalaa oo uu ku necbaadaaye.
Withdraw your feet from the house of your neighbor, lest, when he has had his fill, he may hate you.
18 Ninkii deriskiisa marag been ah ku furaa Waa sida budh iyo seef iyo fallaadh af badan oo kale.
A man who speaks false testimony against his neighbor is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow.
19 In wakhtiga dhibaatada nin aaminlaawe ah laysku halleeyo Waa sida ilig jaban iyo cag murkacatay oo kale.
Whoever sets his hopes on the unfaithful in a day of anguish is like a rotten tooth and weary foot,
20 Kii qalbi murugaysan u gabyaa Waa sida mid maalin qabow huwiska iska qaada iyo sida khal soodhe lagu shubo oo kale.
and like one who loosens his garment in cold weather. Whoever sings verses to a wicked heart is like vinegar on baking soda. Just like a moth to a garment, and a worm to wood, so too does the sadness of a man do harm to the heart.
21 Cadowgaagu hadduu gaajaysan yahay, wax uu cuno sii, Hadduu harraadsan yahayna waraabi,
If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 Waayo, dhuxulo dab ah ayaad madaxiisa ku tuuli doontaa, Oo Rabbiguna waa kuu abaalgudi doonaa.
For you will gather hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will repay you.
23 Dabaysha woqooyi roob bay keentaa, Sidaas oo kale carrabkii xan badanna weji cadhaysan buu keenaa.
The north wind brings forth the rain, and a sorrowful face brings forth a detracting tongue.
24 In guriga dushiisa dhinac laga joogo ayaa ka roon In guri weyn naag muran badan lala joogo.
It is better to sit in a corner of the attic, than with an argumentative woman and in a shared house.
25 Warkii wanaagsan oo dal fog ka yimaadaa Waa sida biyo qabow ay naf harraadsan u yihiin oo kale.
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so too are good reports from a far away land.
26 Ninkii xaq ah ee kii shar leh isu dhiibaa Waa sida durdur qasmay iyo sida il biyood oo wasakhowday oo kale.
The just falling down before the impious is like a fountain stirred up by feet and like a corrupted spring.
27 In malab badan la cunaa ma wanaagsana, Sidaas oo kalena in ammaan la doondoontaa ammaan ma aha.
Just as whoever eats too much honey, it is not good for him, so also whoever is an investigator of what is majestic will be overwhelmed by glory.
28 Kii aan ruuxiisa u talin karinu Waa sida magaalo duntay oo aan derbi lahayn oo kale.
Just like a city lying in the open and without surrounding walls, so also is a man who is unable to restrain his own spirit in speaking.
