Naag kastoo caqli lahu gurigeeday dhistaa, Laakiinse nacasaddu gacmaheeday ku dumisaa.

2 H e that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

Kii qummanaantiisa ku socda ayaa Rabbiga ka cabsada, Laakiinse kii jidkiisa ku qalloocan wuu quudhsadaa isaga.

3 I n the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Afka nacasyada waxaa ka soo biqla kibir; Laakiinse kuwa caqliga leh bushimahooda ayaa iyaga dhawri doona.

4 W here no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Markhaatigii aamin ahu been ma sheego, Laakiinse markhaatigii been ahu been buu ku hadlaa.

Kii wax quudhsadaa xigmad buu doondoonaa, mana helo, Laakiinse aqoontu waa u fudud dahay kii waxgarasho leh.

7 G o from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

Nacaska hortiisa ka fogow, Waayo, bushimihiisa aqoon ka heli maysid.

8 T he wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

Ninkii miyir leh xigmaddiisu waa inuu jidkiisa gartaa, Laakiinse nacasyada nacasnimadoodu waa khiyaano.

9 F ools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

Nacasyadu dembigay ku majaajiloodaan, Laakiinse kuwa qumman waxaa ku dhex jirta raallinimo.

10 T he heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

Qalbigu qadhaadhnimadiisuu yaqaan, Oo shisheeyena farxaddiisa lama qaybsado.

Guriga kuwa sharka leh waa la afgembiyi doonaa, Laakiinse taambuugga kuwa qummanu waa barwaaqoobi doonaa.

12 T here is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Waxaa jirta waddo dadka la hagaagsan, Laakiinse dhammaadkeedu waa waddooyinka dhimashada.

13 E ven in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

Qalbigu xataa qosol waa ku murugoodaa, Oo farxad dhammaadkeeduna waa caloolxumo.

14 T he backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

Kii xaqnimada qalbigiisa dib ugaga noqdaa jidkiisuu ka dhergi doonaa, Oo ninkii wanaagsanuna wuxuu ka dhergi doonaa naftiisa.

15 T he simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Kii garaaddaranu eray kasta wuu rumaystaa, Laakiinse kii miyir lahu socodkiisa aad buu u fiiriyaa.

16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Ninkii caqli lahu waa cabsadaa, oo sharka wuu ka noqdaa; Laakiinse nacasku waa ciishoodaa, wuuna isku kalsoon yahay.

17 H e that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

Kii degdeg u cadhoodaa nacasnimuu wax ku sameeyaa, Oo ninkii sharnimo hindisana waa la neceb yahay.

18 T he simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

Garaadlaawayaashu nacasnimay dhaxlaan, Laakiinse kuwii miyir leh waxaa madaxa loo saaraa taaj aqoon ah.

21 H e that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

Kii deriskiisa quudhsadaa wuu dembaabaa, Laakiinse kii miskiinka u naxariistaa waa barakaysan yahay.

22 D o they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

Kuwa sharka ku fikiraa sow ma qaldamaan? Laakiinse kuwa wanaagga ku fikira waxaa u ahaan doona naxariis iyo run.

23 I n all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

Hawl kasta faa'iidaa ku jirta, Laakiinse hadalka bushimuhu wuxuu keenaa caydhnimo keliya.

24 T he crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

Kuwa caqliga leh taajkoodu waa maalkooda, Laakiinse nacasyada nacasnimadoodu waa nacasnimo keliya.

25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

Markhaatigii run ahu nafuu samatabbixiyaa, Laakiinse kii been sheegaa waa khaayin.

26 I n the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

28 I n the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

29 H e that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

Kii cadhada u gaabiyaa waa garasho badan yahay; Laakiinse kii degdeg u cadhoodaa nacasnimuu sarraysiiyaa.

Qalbigii degganu waa nolosha jidhka, Laakiinse hinaaso waa qudhunka lafaha.

31 H e that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

32 T he wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

Kii shar leh waxaa lagu afgembiyaa sharnimadiisa, Laakiinse kan xaqa ahu rajuu leeyahay markuu dhinto.

33 W isdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

Xigmaddu waxay taal kii garasho leh qalbigiisa, Laakiinse wixii nacasyada uurkooda ku jiraa waa ismuujiyaa.
