7 ¶ God shall overthrow the wicked, and they shall not be any longer, but the house of the righteous shall remain.

8 ¶ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

Nin waxaa loogu bogi doonaa sida xigmaddiisu tahay, Laakiinse kii qalbigiisu qalloocan yahay waa la quudhsan doonaa.

Kii la fudaydsado oo midiidin lahu Waa ka wanaagsan yahay kii isweyneeya oo cunto u baahan.

10 ¶ The righteous is merciful even unto his beast, but the piety of the wicked is cruel.

14 ¶ Man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

Nacaska xanaaqiisa haddiiba waa la gartaa, Laakiinse ninkii miyir lahu ceebtuu qariyaa.

17 ¶ He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

Kii runta ku hadlaa wuxuu muujiyaa xaqnimada, Laakiinse markhaatiga beenta ahu wuxuu muujiyaa khiyaanada.

18 ¶ There are those that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is medicine.

Waxaa jira mid u hadla sida seef wax mudaysa, Laakiinse kan caqliga leh carrabkiisu waa caafimaad.

19 ¶ The lip of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Bushintii runta sheegtaa weligeedba way sii taagnaan doontaa, Laakiinse carrabkii beenta sheegaa daqiiqad buu joogaa.

20 ¶ Deceit is in the heart of those whose thoughts are evil, but joy in that of those whose thoughts are good.

26 ¶ The righteous causes his neighbour to consider: but the way of the wicked causes them to err.

Kan xaqa ahu deriskiisuu hanuuniyaa, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh jidkoodu wuu ambiyaa iyaga.

Jidka xaqnimada nolol baa taal; Oo waddadeedana dhimasho kuma jirto.
