Proverbs 23
1 When you sit down to eat with a leader, pay close attention to what has been set before your face,
Markaad u fadhiisatid inaad taliye wax la cuntid, Aad uga fiirso waxa hortaada yaal,
2 and put a knife to your throat, if, in such a way, you could hold your soul in your own power.
Oo mindi cunaha iska saar Haddaad tahay nin hunguri weyn.
3 Do not desire his foods, in which is the bread of deceit.
Cuntadiisa macaan ha damcin, Waayo, waa cunto khiyaaneed.
4 Do not be willing to labor so that you may be enriched. But set limits by your prudence.
Ha isku daalin si aad taajir ku noqotid. Oo xigmaddaadana ka joogso.
5 Do not raise your eyes toward wealth that you are not able to have. For they will make themselves wings, like those of an eagle, and they will fly in the sky.
Ma waxaad indhaha ku dayaysaa wax aan jirin? Waayo, hubaal maalku wuxuu yeeshaa baalal, Sida gorgor samada u duula oo kale.
6 Do not eat with an envious man, and do not desire his foods.
Kan isha sharka leh kibistiisa ha cunin, Cuntadiisa macaanna ha damcin,
7 For, like a seer and an interpreter of dreams, he presumes what he does not know. “Eat and drink,” he will say to you; and his mind is not with you.
Waayo, isagu waxaa weeye siduu qalbiga kaga fikiro; Wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Cun oo cab, Laakiinse qalbigiisu kulama jiro.
8 The foods that you had eaten, you will vomit up. And you will lose the beauty in your words.
Wixii aad cuntay waad soo mantagi doontaa, Oo erayadaadii macaanaana way kaa lumi doonaan.
9 Do not speak into the ears of the unwise. They will despise the doctrine of your eloquence.
Nacas waxba ha kula hadlin, Waayo, isagu xigmadda hadalkaaga wuu quudhsan doonaa.
10 Do not touch the boundaries of little ones, and do not enter into the field of the fatherless.
Soohdintii hore ha durkin, Beeraha agoommadana ha dhex gelin,
11 For their close relative is strong, and he will judge their case against you.
Waayo, bixiyahoodu waa xoog badan yahay; Oo isaga ayaa dacwadooda kugu qaadi doona.
12 Let your heart enter into doctrine, and let your ears enter into words of knowledge.
Qalbigaaga edbinta u jeedi, Oo dhegahana erayada aqoonta.
13 Do not be willing to take away discipline from a child. For if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
Ilmaha edbin ha u diidin, Waayo, haddaad isaga ul ku garaacdid, ma dhiman doono.
Ul baad isaga ku garaaci doontaa, Oo naftiisaad She'ool ka samatabbixin doontaa. (Sheol h7585)
15 My son, if your soul will become wise, my heart will be glad with you.
Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii qalbigaagu caqli leeyahay, Qalbigayguna wuu farxi doonaa.
16 And my temperament will exult, when your lips will have spoken what is upright.
Haah, oo xataa uurkaygu wuu rayrayn doonaa, Markay bushimahaagu wax qumman ku hadlaan.
17 Let not your heart compete with sinners. But be in the fear of the Lord all day long.
Qalbigaagu yaanu dembilayaal ka hinaasin, Laakiinse maalinta oo dhan Rabbiga ka cabso.
18 For you will have hope in the end, and your expectation will not be taken away.
Waayo, hubaal waxaa jira abaalgud, Oo rajadaaduna kaama go'i doonto.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and direct your soul along the way.
Wiilkaygiiyow, i maqal, oo caqli yeelo, Oo qalbigaagana jidka ku toosi.
20 Do not be willing to be in the feasts of great drinkers, nor in the carousings of those who gather to feed on flesh.
Ha dhex joogin khamriyacabyada Iyo kuwa hunguriweynaanta hilibka u cuna,
21 For those who waste time drinking, and who surrender themselves to symbols, will be consumed. And those who sleep will be clothed in rags.
Waayo, kii sakhraan ah iyo kii hunguri weynuba way caydhoobi doonaan, Oo lulona nin calal bay u xidhi doontaa.
22 Listen to your father, who conceived you. And do not despise your mother, when she is old.
Dhegayso aabbahaagii ku dhalay, Oo hooyadaana ha quudhsan markay gabowdo.
23 Purchase truth, and do not sell wisdom, or doctrine, or understanding.
Runta soo iibso, oo ha sii iibin, Oo weliba waxaad ku sii darsataa xigmadda iyo edbinta iyo waxgarashada.
24 The father of the just exults in gladness; he who has conceived the wise will rejoice in him.
Kii xaq ah aabbihiis aad buu u farxi doonaa, Oo kii ilmo caqli leh dhalaana farxad buu ka heli doonaa.
25 Let your father and your mother be joyful, and may she who conceived you exult.
Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaaba ha farxeen, Oo tii ku dhashayna ha rayrayso.
26 My son, offer me your heart, and let your eyes keep to my ways.
Wiilkaygiiyow, qalbigaaga i sii, Oo indhahaaguna jidadkayga ha dhawreen.
27 For a loose woman is a deep pit, and a foreign woman is a constricted well.
Waayo, dhillo waa booraan dheer, Oo naag qalaadna waa god cidhiidhi ah.
28 She lies in wait along the way like a robber. And the incautious one whom she sees, she will put to death.
Sida tuug oo kale ayay u gabbataa, Oo waxay dadka ku dhex badisaa khaayinnada.
29 Who has woe? Whose father has woe? Who has quarrels? Who falls into pits? Who has wounds without cause? Who has watery eyes?
Bal yaa hoog leh? Oo yaa caloolxumo leh? Oo yaa murammo leh? Oo yaa calaacal badan leh? Oo yaa u dhaawacan sababla'aan? Oo yaa indho casaan ah leh?
30 Is it not those who linger over wine, and who strive to be drinking from their cups?
Waa kuwa wakhti dheer ku raaga khamriga, Waana kuwa u taga inay doondoontaan khamri laysku daray.
31 Do not gaze into the wine when it turns gold, when its color shines in the glass. It enters pleasantly,
Ha fiirin khamrigu markuu casaado, Markuu koobka ka dhex dhalaalo, Iyo markuu si wanaagsan u shubmayoba.
32 but in the end, it will bite like a snake, and it will spread poison like a king of snakes.
Ugu dambaysta wuxuu wax u qaniinaa sida abeesada, Oo sida jilbiskana wax buu u qaniinaa.
33 Your eyes will see women who are outsiders, and your heart will utter perversities.
Indhahaagu waxay arki doonaan naago qalaad, Oo qalbigaaguna wuxuu ku hadli doonaa waxyaalo qalloocan.
34 And you will be like someone sleeping in the middle of the sea, and like a pilot, fast asleep, who has lost his hold on the helm.
Oo waxaad ahaan doontaa sida kan badda dhexdeeda jiifsada, Ama sida ka dakhalka dhaladiisa sare seexda.
35 And you will say: “They have beaten me, but I did not feel pain. They have dragged me, and I did not realize it. When will I awaken and find more wine?”
Waxaad odhan doontaa, Wax bay igu dhufteen, laakiin waxba ima yeelin. Way i garaaceen, iskamana aanan garan; Bal goormaan toosi doonaa? Weli mar kalaan doonan doonaa.
