1 T he wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Kuwa sharka lahu waxay cararaan iyadoo aan ciduna eryanayn, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ahu waxay u dhiirran yihiin sida libaax oo kale.

2 W hen a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but when the ruler is a man of discernment, understanding, and knowledge, its stability will long continue.

Waddan xadgudubkiisa aawadiis amiirradu way badan yihiin, Laakiinse ninkii waxgarasho iyo aqoon leh dowladdiisu way sii raagtaa.

3 A poor man who oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

Miskiin masaakiinta dulmaa Waa sida roob dhulka xaadha oo aan cunto ka tegin.

4 T hose who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them.

Kuwa sharciga ka tagaa waxay ammaanaan kuwa sharka leh, Laakiinse kuwa sharciga dhawra ayaa iyaga la dirira.

5 E vil men do not understand justice, but they who crave and seek the Lord understand it fully.

Nimanka sharka lahu garsooridda ma gartaan, Laakiinse kuwa Rabbiga doondoonaa wax walbay gartaan.

6 B etter is the poor man who walks in his integrity than he who willfully goes in double and wrong ways, though he is rich.

Kii jidad qalloocan ku socda, in kastoo uu taajir yahay, Waxaa ka roon miskiinka daacadnimadiisa ku socda.

7 W hoever keeps the law is a wise son, but he who is a companion of gluttons and the carousing, self-indulgent, and extravagant shames his father.

Ku alla kii sharciga dhawraa waa wiil caqli leh, Laakiinse kii raaca kuwa cirta weyn, aabbihiisuu ceebeeyaa.

8 H e who by charging excessive interest and who by unjust efforts to get gain increases his material possession gathers it for him who is kind and generous to the poor.

Kii korsaar iyo ribo maalkiisa ku korodhsadaa, Wuxuu u ururin doonaa mid masaakiinta u naxariista.

9 H e who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination, hateful and revolting.

Kii dhegtiisa ka leexiya inuu sharciga maqlo, Xataa baryootankiisu waa karaahiyo.

10 W hoever leads the upright astray into an evil way, he will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.

Ku alla kii kuwa xaqa ah jid shar ah ku ambiyaa, Isagaa ku dhici doona godkiisa, Laakiinse kuwa qummanu wax wanaagsan bay dhaxli doonaan.

11 T he rich man is wise in his own eyes and conceit, but the poor man who has understanding will find him out.

Taajirku waa isla caqli weyn yahay, Laakiinse miskiinka waxgarashada leh ayaa isaga kashifa.

12 W hen the righteous triumph, there is great glory and celebration; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

Kuwa xaqa ahu markay guulaystaan, waxaa jirta ammaan weyn, Laakiinse markii kuwa sharka lahu sara kacaan dadku waa dhuuntaa.

13 H e who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy.

Kii xadgudubyadiisa qariyaa ma liibaani doono, Laakiinse kii qirta oo haddana ka tagaa, naxariis buu heli doonaa.

14 B lessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is the man who reverently and worshipfully fears at all times, but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Ninkii mar kasta cabsadaa waa barakaysan yahay, Laakiinse kii qalbigiisa sii adkeeyaa masiibuu ku dhici doonaa.

15 L ike a roaring lion or a ravenous and charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

Taliyihii shar lahu wuxuu dadka masaakiintaa ku yahay Sida libaax ciyaya iyo sida orso weerar ah oo kale.

16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness and unjust gain shall prolong his days.

Amiirkii garaaddaranu waa nin dulun weyn, Laakiinse kii neceb faa'iidada xaqdarrada ah cimrigiisuu dheerayn doonaa.

17 I f a man willfully sheds the blood of a person, he is fleeing to the pit (the grave) and hastening to his own destruction; let no man stop him!

Ninkii nin dhiiggiis qabaa Wuxuu u carari doonaa godka, oo ninna yaanu ka joojin.

18 H e who walks uprightly shall be safe, but he who willfully goes in double and wrong ways shall fall in one of them.

Ku alla kii si qumman u socda waa la samatabbixin doonaa, Laakiinse kii si qalloocan laba jid ugu socdaa haddiiba wuu dhici doonaa.

19 H e who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless people and pursuits will have poverty enough.

Kii dhulkiisa beertaa, cunto badan buu ka dhergi doonaa, Laakiinse kii waxmatarayaal raacaa wuxuu ka dhergi doonaa caydhnimo.

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich shall not go unpunished.

Ninkii aamin ahu aad buu u barakoobi doonaa, Laakiinse kii taajirnimo ku degdegaa ma taqsiir la'aan doono.

21 T o have respect of persons and to show partiality is not good, neither is it good that man should transgress for a piece of bread.

Ma wanaagsana in dadka loo kala eexdo, Iyo inuu nin xabbad kibis ah u xadgudbo toona.

22 H e who has an evil and covetous eye hastens to be rich and knows not that want will come upon him.

Kii taajirnimo ku degdegaa waa qumay, Mana oga inuu caydhoobi doono.

23 H e who rebukes a man shall afterward find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.

Kii nin canaantaa wuxuu marka dambe heli doonaa Raallinimo ka badan kan carrabka ku faaniya.

24 W hoever robs his father or his mother and says, This is no sin—he is in the same class as a destroyer.

Kii aabbihiis ama hooyadiis wax ka dhaca oo haddana yidhaahda, Taasu xadgudub ma aha, Wuxuu saaxiib la yahay kii wax dumiya.

25 H e who is of a greedy spirit stirs up strife, but he who puts his trust in the Lord shall be enriched and blessed.

Kii hunguri weynu muran buu kiciyaa, Laakiinse kii Rabbiga isku halleeya waa la barwaaqaysiin doonaa.

26 H e who leans on, trusts in, and is confident of his own mind and heart is a fool, but he who walks in skillful and godly Wisdom shall be delivered.

Kii qalbigiisa isku halleeyaa waa nacas, Laakiinse ku alla kii si caqli ah u socda waa la samatabbixin doonaa.

27 H e who gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will have many a curse.

Kii miskiinka wax siiyaa ma baahan doono, Laakiinse kii indhaha ka qarsada aad baa loo habaari doonaa.

28 W hen the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase and become many.

Markii kuwa sharka lahu kacaan dadku waa dhuuntaa, Laakiinse markay halligmaan, kuwa xaqa ahu way sii kordhaan.
