Proverbs 18
1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
Kii gooni isu soocaa, wuxuu doondoonaa damaciisa, Oo xigmadda oo dhanna wuu ku kacaa.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
Nacasku waxgarashada kuma farxo, Laakiinse wuxuu ku farxaa uun inuu waxa qalbigiisa ku jira muujiyo.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
Markii kii shar lahu yimaado waxaa kaloo timaada quudhsasho, Sharafla'aantana waxaa la timaada ceeb.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
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 person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
Ma wanaagsana in kan sharka leh loo eexdo, Ama in kan xaqa ah garta lagu afgembiyo.
6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
Nacaska bushimihiisu waxay keenaan muran, Oo afkiisuna wuxuu u yeedhaa karbaash.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
Nacaska afkiisu waa u baabba', Oo bushimihiisuna naftiisay dabin u noqdaan.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Kii xan badan erayadiisu waa sida cunto macaan, Oo waxay ku degaan meelaha caloosha ugu hooseeya.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
Kii shuqulkiisa caajis ku ahu, Wuxuu walaal u yahay kii wax kharriba.
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Rabbiga magiciisu waa noobiyad xoog leh, Kii xaq ahu iyaduu ku cararaa, meel sarena wuu ku nabad galaa.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Ninkii taajir ah maalkiisu waa u magaalo xoog leh, Oo waa u derbi dheer sida ay la tahay isaga.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
Dadka qalbigiisu waa kibraa intaanu baabbi'in ka hor, Oo sharaftana waxaa ka horraysa is-hoosaysiinta.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame to him.
Kii xaajo ka jawaabaa isagoo aan maqlin, Waa u nacasnimo iyo ceeb.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
Nin qalbigiisu waa u adkaysan karaa cudurkiisa, Laakiinse qalbi jaban bal yaa u dulqaadan kara?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Kii miyir leh qalbigiisu wuxuu helaa aqoon, Oo kuwa caqliga leh dhegtooduna waxay doondoontaa aqoon.
16 A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
Nin hadiyaddiisu meel bay u bannaysaa. Oo waxay isaga hor keentaa rag waaweyn.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
Kii dacwaddiisa u hor mara, mid xaq ah baa la moodaa, Laakiinse deriskiisaa ka daba yimaada oo imtixaama isaga.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
Saamigu wuxuu joojiyaa murammo, Oo wuxuu kala kaxeeyaa kuwa xoogga badan.
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
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 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
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: and they that love it shall eat the fruit of it.
Geeri iyo nololuba waxay ku jiraan itaalka carrabka, Oo kuwa jeceluna waxay cuni doonaan midhihiisa.
22 Whoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour from the LORD.
Ku alla kii afo helaa wuxuu helaa wax wanaagsan, Oo Rabbigana raallinimuu ka helaa.
23 The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
Miskiinku baryootan buu ku hadlaa, Laakiinse taajirku si qallafsan buu ugu jawaabaa.
24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Ninkii saaxiibbo badsadaa naftiisuu kharribaa, Laakiin waxaa jira saaxiib walaalkaa kaaga dhow.
