Yaa ilma ko, gorsa abbaa keetii dhaggeeffadhu; barsiisa haadha keetii illee hin gatin.
9 For - [will be] a wreath of favor they for head your and necklaces for neck your.
Wanni kun mataa kee miidhagsuudhaaf gonfoo, morma kee bareechuudhaaf immoo faaya siif taʼa.
10 O son my if they will entice you sinners may not you be willing.
Yaa ilma ko, yoo cubbamoonni sossobanii ofitti si harkisan, tole hin jedhiniif.
11 If they will say come! with us let us lie in wait for blood let us lie hidden for an innocent [one] without cause.
Yoo isaan, “Nu wajjin kottu; riphnee dhiiga namaa dhangalaasnaa; nama balleessaa hin qabne galaafachuudhaafis dhokannee eeggannaa;
12 Let us engulf them like Sheol alive and complete like [those who] go down of [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
kottu akkuma awwaalaa jiraatti isaan liqimsinaa; akkuma warra boolla keessa buufamaniis guutumaan guutuutti isaan liqimsinaa; (Sheol h7585)
13 All wealth prized we will find we will fill houses our plunder.
nu waan gatii qabu kan gosa hundaa ni arganna; manneen keenya illee boojuudhaan guuttanna;
14 Lot your you will cast in midst of us a bag one it will belong to all of us.
ixaa kee nu wajjin buufadhu; nus korojoo tokko si wajjin qooddannaa” siin jedhan,
15 O son my may not you walk in [the] way with them restrain foot your from pathway their.
yaa ilma ko, ati isaan wajjin hin deemin; miilla keetiin karaa isaanii irra illee hin ejjetin;
16 For feet their to evil they run and they may make haste to shed blood.
miilli isaanii cubbuutti ariifataatii; isaan dhiiga dhangalaasuuf jarjaru.
17 For in vain [is] spread out the net in [the] eyes of every owner of a wing.
Utuma simbirroonni hundi arganuu, kiyyoo buusuun waan gatii hin qabnee dha!
18 And they for own blood their they lie in wait they lie hidden for own life their.
Namoonni kunneen dhiiguma ofii isaanii riphanii eeggatu; lubbuma ofii isaanii gaadu!
19 [are] thus [the] paths of Every [one who] gains unjustly unjust gain [the] life of owners its it will take.
Kun dhuma warra qabeenya karaa hamaadhaan argamu duukaa buʼan hundaa ti; wanni akkasii jireenya warra isa argatanii balleessa.
20 Wisdom in the street it cries aloud in the open places she gives voice her.
Ogummaan karaa irratti guddiftee iyyiti; iddoo wal gaʼii uummataattis sagalee ishee ol fudhatti.
21 At [the] top of noisy [places] she calls out at [the] entrances of [the] gates in the city sayings her she utters.
Isheen fiixee daandii irraa iyyiti; karra magaalaa duraas akkana jettee dubbatti:
22 Until when? - O naive people will you love naivete and mockers mockery do they delight in? themselves and fools will they hate? knowledge.
“Isin warri homaa hin beekne kun hamma yoomiitti karaa keessan kan faayidaa hin qabne sana jaallattu? Warri namatti qoosan hamma yoomiitti qoosaa sanatti gammadanii gowwoonnis beekumsa jibbu?
23 You will turn back to rebuke my here! I will pour out to you spirit my let me declare words my you.
Mormii koo qalbeeffadhaa; ani yaada koo isinii nan dhangalaasa; dubbii koos isiniifin ibsa.
24 Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
Garuu sababii isin yeroo ani isin waametti diddanii yeroo ani harka balʼifadhetti namni tokko iyyuu na hin dhaggeeffatiniif,
25 And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
waan isin gorsa koo hunda tuffattanii dheekkamsa koo dhagaʼuu diddaniif,
26 Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.
anis badiisa keessanitti nan kolfa, yeroo balaan isinitti dhufuttis nan qoosa;
27 When comes (like devastation *Q(K)*) dread your and calamity your like a storm-wind it will arrive when comes on you trouble and distress.
yeroo balaan akkuma bubbeetti isin fudhatutti, yeroo badiisni akkuma bubbee hamaatti isin haxaaʼutti, yeroo dhiphinaa fi rakkinni isinitti dhufutti ani isinittan qoosa.
28 Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
“Yeroo sana isaan na waammatu; ani garuu isaan jalaa hin owwaadhu; isaan na barbaadu; garuu na hin argatan.
29 Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
Isaan waan beekumsa jibbanii Waaqayyoon sodaachuu illee filachuu didaniif,
30 Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
waan gorsa koo fudhachuu didanii dheekkamsa koos tuffataniif,
31 So they may eat from [the] fruit of way their and from own schemes their they will be surfeited.
isaan gatii karaa isaanii ni nyaatu; buʼaa jalʼina isaaniis ni quufu.
32 For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
Gowwoota waa dagachuutu isaan balleessaatii; quufni gowwootaa isaanuma balleessa;
33 And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
namni na dhaggeeffatu kam iyyuu garuu nagaadhaan jiraata; inni qabbanaan jiraata; wanni hamaanis isa hin sodaachisu.”
