< Proverbs 8 >
1 You shall proclaim wisdom, that understanding may be obedient to you.
Haddaba xigmaddu sow ma dhawaaqin? Waxgarashaduna codkeedii sow kor uma qaadin?
2 For she is on lofty eminences, and stands in the midst of the ways.
Waxay taagan tahay meelaha sarreeya Oo jidka agtiisa ah, meesha waddooyinku ku kulmaan.
3 For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, [saying],
Oo waxay ka qaylisaa irdaha agtooda, Meesha magaalada laga soo galo, Iyo meesha albaabbada laga soo galoba.
4 You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.
Nimanyahow, idinkaan idiin dhawaaqayaa, Oo codkayguna wuxuu u yeedhayaa binu-aadmiga.
5 O you simple, understand subtlety, and you that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.
Garaadlaawayaashow, miyir lahaada, Nacasyadoy, waxgarasho qalbiga ku haysta.
6 Listen to me; for I will speak solemn [truths]; and will produce right [sayings] from my lips.
I maqla, waayo, waxaan ku hadlayaa waxyaalo wanaagsan, Oo waxaan bushimaha u kala qaadayaa waxyaalo qumman.
7 For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me.
Maxaa yeelay, afkaygu run buu ku hadlayaa; Oo bushimahayguna shar bay karhaan.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse.
Erayada afkayga oo dhammi waa xaq, Oo innaba wax qalloocan ama maroorsan lagama helo.
9 They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.
Iyagu dhammaantood waa u cad yihiin kii wax garanaya, Oo waana u qumman yihiin kuwa aqoonta hela.
10 Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.
Edbintayda qaata, lacagse ha qaadanina, Oo aqoontana ka hor doorta dahabka saafiga ah.
11 For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.
Waayo, xigmaddu waa ka sii wanaagsan tahay luulka, Oo wax alla waxa la damci karo oo dhanna iyada lalama simi karo.
12 I wisdom have lived [with] counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.
Anigoo xigmad ahu, waxaan la fadhiyaa miyir, Oo waxaan helaa aqoon iyo digtoonaan.
13 The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.
Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waa in sharka la naco. Kibirka, iyo madaxweynaanta, iyo jidka sharka, Iyo afka qalloocan ayaan anigu necbahay.
14 Counsel and safety are mine; prudence is mine, and strength is mine.
Talo iyo xigmad anigaa iska leh, Oo waxaan ahay waxgarasho, xoogna waan leeyahay.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Boqorradu gacantayday wax ku xukumaan, Oo amiirraduna amarkaygay garta ku gooyaan.
16 By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over the earth.
Taliyayaasha iyo saraakiisha iyo weliba xaakinnada dunida oo dhammuna Anigay wax iigu taliyaan.
17 I love those that love me; and they that seek me shall find [me].
Anigu kuwa i jecel waan jeclahay, Oo kuwa aad iyo aad ii doonaana way i heli doonaan.
18 Wealth and glory belong to me; yes, abundant possessions and righteousness.
Anigaa iska leh taajirnimo iyo sharaf. Iyo weliba maal raagaya iyo xaqnimoba.
19 [It is] better to have my fruit than [to have] gold and precious stones; and my produce is better than choice silver.
Midhahaygu way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin dahab, haah, oo xataa dahab aad u wanaagsan way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin, Oo waxa ii kordhaana way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin lacag la doortay.
20 I walk in ways of righteousness, and [am] conversant with the paths of judgement;
Anigu waxaan ku socdaa jidka xaqnimada, Iyo waddooyinka garta dhexdooda,
21 that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember [also] to recount the things of old.
Si aan kuwa i jecel uga dhigo inay maal dhaxlaan, Oo aan khasnadahooda ugu buuxiyo.
22 The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.
Rabbigu wuxuu i lahaan jiray bilowgii jidkiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii hore ka hor.
23 He established me before time [was] in the beginning, before he made the earth:
Aniga aakhirada hore waa lay taagay, waxaan jiray bilowgii ugu horreeyey, Ama intaan dunidu jirin ka hor.
24 even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:
Anigu waxaan dhashay intaan moolal jirin ka hor, Iyo intaanay jirin ilo biyo ka buuxaan.
25 before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.
Intaan la qotomin buuraha Iyo kuraha ka hor ayaan anigu dhashay,
26 The Lord made countries and uninhabited [tracks], and the highest inhabited parts of the world.
Intaanuu isagu samayn dhulka iyo berrimmada, Amase ciiddii dunida ugu horraysay.
27 When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:
Markuu samooyinka hagaajiyey anigu waan joogay, Markuu xariijinta ku wareejiyey moolka dushiisa,
28 and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:
Markuu cirka sare taagay, Markii ilaha moolku xoog yeesheen,
29 decree. and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:
Markuu badda xad u yeelay Si aan biyuhu amarkiisa ugu xadgudbin, Markuu aasaaskii dhulka dhigay,
30 I was by him, suiting [myself to him], I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.
Markaas anigu isagaan dhinac joogay, anigoo ah sidii hawlhoggaamiye, Oo anigu maalin kasta faraxiisaan ahaa, Oo mar kasta hortiisaan ku rayrayn jiray;
31 For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced amongst the children of men.
Waxaan ku rayrayn jiray inta dhulkiisa la degay, Oo waxaan ku farxi jiray binu-aadmiga.
32 Now then, [my] son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall listen to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla; Waayo, waxaa barakaysan kuwa jidadkayga xajiya.
33 [Hear wisdom and be wise, and be not strangers to it. ]
Edbinta dhegaysta, oo caqli yeesha, Oo ha diidina.
34 watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.
Waxaa barakaysan ninka i maqla, Oo maalin kasta irdahayga igu dhawra, Oo albaabbadayda igu suga.
35 For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and [in them] is prepared favour from the Lord.
Waayo, ku alla kii i helaa wuxuu helaa nolol, Oo Rabbiguna raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa.
36 But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls: and they that hate me love death.
Laakiinse kii igu dembaabaa naftiisuu wax yeelaa, Kuwa aniga i neceb oo dhammu waxay jecel yihiin dhimasho.
