Proverbs 18
1 Whoever has a will to withdraw from a friend, seeks occasions; he shall be reproached at all times.
Kii gooni isu soocaa, wuxuu doondoonaa damaciisa, Oo xigmadda oo dhanna wuu ku kacaa.
2 The foolish do not accept words of prudence, unless you say what is already turning in his heart.
Nacasku waxgarashada kuma farxo, Laakiinse wuxuu ku farxaa uun inuu waxa qalbigiisa ku jira muujiyo.
3 The impious, when he has arrived within the depths of sin, thinks little of it. But ill repute and disgrace follow him.
Markii kii shar lahu yimaado waxaa kaloo timaada quudhsasho, Sharafla'aantana waxaa la timaada ceeb.
4 Words from the mouth of a man are deep waters. And the fountain of wisdom is a torrent overflowing.
Nin afkiis erayada ku jiraa waa sida biyo gun dheer, Oo isha xigmadduna waa sida durdur socda.
5 It is not good to accept the character of the impious, so as to turn away from true judgment.
Ma wanaagsana in kan sharka leh loo eexdo, Ama in kan xaqa ah garta lagu afgembiyo.
6 The lips of the foolish meddle in disputes. And his mouth provokes conflicts.
Nacaska bushimihiisu waxay keenaan muran, Oo afkiisuna wuxuu u yeedhaa karbaash.
7 The mouth of the foolish is his destruction, and his own lips are the ruin of his soul.
Nacaska afkiisu waa u baabba', Oo bushimihiisuna naftiisay dabin u noqdaan.
8 The words of the double-tongued seem simple. And they reach even to the interior of the gut. Fear casts down the lazy, but the souls of the effeminate shall go hungry.
Kii xan badan erayadiisu waa sida cunto macaan, Oo waxay ku degaan meelaha caloosha ugu hooseeya.
9 Whoever is dissolute and slack in his work is the brother of him who wastes his own works.
Kii shuqulkiisa caajis ku ahu, Wuxuu walaal u yahay kii wax kharriba.
10 The name of the Lord is a very strong tower. The just one rushes to it, and he shall be exalted.
Rabbiga magiciisu waa noobiyad xoog leh, Kii xaq ahu iyaduu ku cararaa, meel sarena wuu ku nabad galaa.
11 The substance of the wealthy is the city of his strength, and it is like a strong wall encircling him.
Ninkii taajir ah maalkiisu waa u magaalo xoog leh, Oo waa u derbi dheer sida ay la tahay isaga.
12 The heart of a man is exalted before it is crushed and humbled before it is glorified.
Dadka qalbigiisu waa kibraa intaanu baabbi'in ka hor, Oo sharaftana waxaa ka horraysa is-hoosaysiinta.
13 Whoever responds before he listens, demonstrates himself to be foolish and deserving of confusion.
Kii xaajo ka jawaabaa isagoo aan maqlin, Waa u nacasnimo iyo ceeb.
14 The spirit of a man sustains his weakness. Yet who can sustain a spirit that is easily angered?
Nin qalbigiisu waa u adkaysan karaa cudurkiisa, Laakiinse qalbi jaban bal yaa u dulqaadan kara?
15 A prudent heart shall possess knowledge. And the ear of the wise seeks doctrine.
Kii miyir leh qalbigiisu wuxuu helaa aqoon, Oo kuwa caqliga leh dhegtooduna waxay doondoontaa aqoon.
16 A man’s gift expands his way and makes space for him before leaders.
Nin hadiyaddiisu meel bay u bannaysaa. Oo waxay isaga hor keentaa rag waaweyn.
17 The just is the first accuser of himself; his friend arrives and shall investigate him.
Kii dacwaddiisa u hor mara, mid xaq ah baa la moodaa, Laakiinse deriskiisaa ka daba yimaada oo imtixaama isaga.
18 Casting a lot suppresses contentions and passes judgment, even among the powerful.
Saamigu wuxuu joojiyaa murammo, Oo wuxuu kala kaxeeyaa kuwa xoogga badan.
19 A brother who is helped by a brother is like a reinforced city, and judgments are like the bars of cities.
In walaal la xumeeyey la soo celiyo waa ka sii adag tahay in magaalo xoog leh la qabsado, Oo murammona waa ka xoog badan yihiin qalcad biraheeda.
20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be filled. And the harvest of his own lips shall satisfy him.
Nin calooshiisu waxay ka buuxsami doontaa midhaha afkiisa, Oo wuxuu isagu ka dhergi doonaa waxa bushimihiisa u kordha.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Whoever values it shall eat from its fruits.
Geeri iyo nololuba waxay ku jiraan itaalka carrabka, Oo kuwa jeceluna waxay cuni doonaan midhihiisa.
22 He who has found a good wife has found goodness, and he shall draw contentment from the Lord. He who expels a good wife expels goodness. But he who holds on to an adulteress is foolish and impious.
Ku alla kii afo helaa wuxuu helaa wax wanaagsan, Oo Rabbigana raallinimuu ka helaa.
23 The poor will speak with supplications. And the rich will express themselves roughly.
Miskiinku baryootan buu ku hadlaa, Laakiinse taajirku si qallafsan buu ugu jawaabaa.
24 A man amiable to society shall be more friendly than a brother.
Ninkii saaxiibbo badsadaa naftiisuu kharribaa, Laakiin waxaa jira saaxiib walaalkaa kaaga dhow.
