Proverbs 23
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, thou shalt consider well, what is before thee;
Markaad u fadhiisatid inaad taliye wax la cuntid, Aad uga fiirso waxa hortaada yaal,
2 And shalt put a knife to thy throat, if, of great appetite, thou art:
Oo mindi cunaha iska saar Haddaad tahay nin hunguri weyn.
3 Do not crave his dainties, for, the same, are deceitful food.
Cuntadiisa macaan ha damcin, Waayo, waa cunto khiyaaneed.
4 Do not toil to get wealth, of thine own understanding, forbear:
Ha isku daalin si aad taajir ku noqotid. Oo xigmaddaadana ka joogso.
5 Wilt thou let thine eye fly thereupon, when it is nothing? for it will, surely make, itself wings, Like an eagle, will it wing its way across the heavens.
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 the food of him that hath a begrudging eye, neither crave thou his dainties;
Kan isha sharka leh kibistiisa ha cunin, Cuntadiisa macaanna ha damcin,
7 For, just as he hath thought in his own mind, so, he is: Eat and drink! he may say to thee, but, his heart, is not with thee.
Waayo, isagu waxaa weeye siduu qalbiga kaga fikiro; Wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Cun oo cab, Laakiinse qalbigiisu kulama jiro.
8 As for thy morsel thou hast eaten, thou shalt vomit it, so shalt thou waste thy things so sweet.
Wixii aad cuntay waad soo mantagi doontaa, Oo erayadaadii macaanaana way kaa lumi doonaan.
9 In the ears of a dullard, do not speak, for he will despise the good sense of thy words.
Nacas waxba ha kula hadlin, Waayo, isagu xigmadda hadalkaaga wuu quudhsan doonaa.
10 Do not move back the ancient boundary, and, into the fields of the fatherless, do not enter;
Soohdintii hore ha durkin, Beeraha agoommadana ha dhex gelin,
11 For, their near of kin, is strong, he, will plead their cause with thee.
Waayo, bixiyahoodu waa xoog badan yahay; Oo isaga ayaa dacwadooda kugu qaadi doona.
12 Bring, to correction, thy heart, and thine ears, to the sayings of knowledge.
Qalbigaaga edbinta u jeedi, Oo dhegahana erayada aqoonta.
13 Do not withhold, from a child, correction, When thou smitest him with the rod, he shall 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 thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii qalbigaagu caqli leeyahay, Qalbigayguna wuu farxi doonaa.
16 So shall my reins exult, when thy lips speak the things that are right.
Haah, oo xataa uurkaygu wuu rayrayn doonaa, Markay bushimahaagu wax qumman ku hadlaan.
17 Let not thy heart be envious of sinners, only of the reverence of Yahweh, all day long;
Qalbigaagu yaanu dembilayaal ka hinaasin, Laakiinse maalinta oo dhan Rabbiga ka cabso.
18 For surely there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.
Waayo, hubaal waxaa jira abaalgud, Oo rajadaaduna kaama go'i doonto.
19 Hear, thou, my son, and be wise, and lead forward, in duty, thy heart.
Wiilkaygiiyow, i maqal, oo caqli yeelo, Oo qalbigaagana jidka ku toosi.
20 Do not be among them who tipple with wine, —among them who are gluttons;
Ha dhex joogin khamriyacabyada Iyo kuwa hunguriweynaanta hilibka u cuna,
21 For, the tippler and the glutton, shall come to poverty, and, rags, shall Slumber put on!
Waayo, kii sakhraan ah iyo kii hunguri weynuba way caydhoobi doonaan, Oo lulona nin calal bay u xidhi doontaa.
22 Hearken to thy father here, who begat thee, and despise not, when she is old, thy mother.
Dhegayso aabbahaagii ku dhalay, Oo hooyadaana ha quudhsan markay gabowdo.
23 Truth, buy thou, but do not sell, wisdom, and correction, and understanding.
Runta soo iibso, oo ha sii iibin, Oo weliba waxaad ku sii darsataa xigmadda iyo edbinta iyo waxgarashada.
24 Greatly shall exult, the father of a righteous man, and, he that begetteth a wise son, shall rejoice in him:
Kii xaq ah aabbihiis aad buu u farxi doonaa, Oo kii ilmo caqli leh dhalaana farxad buu ka heli doonaa.
25 Rejoice shall thy father and thy mother, yea she, shall exult, who bare thee.
Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaaba ha farxeen, Oo tii ku dhashayna ha rayrayso.
26 Oh give, my son, thy mind unto me, and let, thine eyes, observe, my ways;
Wiilkaygiiyow, qalbigaaga i sii, Oo indhahaaguna jidadkayga ha dhawreen.
27 For, a deep chasm, is the unchaste woman, and, a narrow pit, the female unknown;
Waayo, dhillo waa booraan dheer, Oo naag qalaadna waa god cidhiidhi ah.
28 Yea, she, as for prey, lieth in wait, and, the treacherous among mankind, she causeth to abound.
Sida tuug oo kale ayay u gabbataa, Oo waxay dadka ku dhex badisaa khaayinnada.
29 Who hath woe? Who hath outcry of pain? Who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? Who hath needless wounds? Who hath dullness of 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 They who tarry over wine, they who go in to search for mixed wine.
Waa kuwa wakhti dheer ku raaga khamriga, Waana kuwa u taga inay doondoontaan khamri laysku daray.
31 Do not look on wine when it becometh red, when it giveth in the cup its sparkle, glideth down smoothly.
Ha fiirin khamrigu markuu casaado, Markuu koobka ka dhex dhalaalo, Iyo markuu si wanaagsan u shubmayoba.
32 Its after effect, is that, like a serpent, it biteth, and, like a viper, it doth sting.
Ugu dambaysta wuxuu wax u qaniinaa sida abeesada, Oo sida jilbiskana wax buu u qaniinaa.
33 Thine eyes, will see strange women, and, thy heart, will speak perverse things:
Indhahaagu waxay arki doonaan naago qalaad, Oo qalbigaaguna wuxuu ku hadli doonaa waxyaalo qalloocan.
34 So shalt thou become, as one lying down in the heart of the sea, —or as one lying down on the top of the mastgear:
Oo waxaad ahaan doontaa sida kan badda dhexdeeda jiifsada, Ama sida ka dakhalka dhaladiisa sare seexda.
35 They smote me—I felt no pain, They struck me down—I noticed it not, —When shall I wake up? I will go on, I will seek it, again!
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.
