< Proverbs 4 >
1 Listen to O children [the] correction of a father and be attentive to know understanding.
Wiilashoy, aabbe edbintiisa maqla, Oo u jeesta inaad wax garataan.
2 For instruction good I give to you instruction my may not you neglect.
Waayo, anigu waxaan idin siiyaa tacliin wanaagsan, Haddaba cilmigayga ha ka tegina.
3 If a son I was of father my tender and only [child] before mother my.
Waayo, aniguba waxaan aabbahay u ahaa wiil, Oo mid yar oo bacbac ah oo madi ah ayaan u ahaa hooyaday.
4 And he taught me and he said to me let it hold fast to words my heart your keep commandments my and live.
Isagu wax buu i baray, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Qalbigaagu erayadayda ha xajisto; Amarradaydana dhawr, oo waad noolaan doontaa.
5 Acquire wisdom acquire understanding may not you forget and may not you turn aside from [the] utterances of mouth my.
Xigmadda doono, waxgarashadana doono; Hana illoobin, oo erayada afkaygana dib ha uga noqon.
6 May not you abandon her and she will keep you love her and she will guard you.
Xigmadda ha ka tegin, oo way ku nabad gelin doontaa. Jeclow, oo way ku dhawri doontaa.
7 [is] first Wisdom acquire wisdom and by all acquisition your acquire understanding.
Xigmaddu wax walbay ugu horraysaa, sidaas daraaddeed xigmadda doono; Wax kastoo aad hesho weliba waxgarasho doono.
8 Esteem her and she will exalt you she will honor you if you will embrace her.
Iyada sarraysii, oo iyana way ku dallicin doontaa; Oo sharaf bay kuu yeeli doontaa markaad iyada isku duubtid.
9 She will put to head your a wreath of grace a crown of beauty she will give you.
Iyadu waxay madaxaaga siin doontaa wax sharraxsan, Oo waxayna kuu yeeli doontaa taaj quruxsan.
10 Listen O son my and receive words my so they may increase for you years of life.
Wiilkaygiiyow, maqal oo hadalladayda aqbal. Oo sannadaha cimrigaaguna way badnaan doonaan.
11 [the] way of Wisdom I taught you I led you in tracks of uprightness.
Anigu waxaan ku baray jidkii xigmadda; Oo waxaan kugu hoggaamiyey waddooyinkii qummanaanta.
12 When walking you not anyone will hinder step[s] your and if you will run not you will stumble.
Markii aad socotid tallaabooyinkaagu cidhiidhi ma noqon doonaan, Oo haddaad oroddidna ma turunturoon doontid.
13 Take hold on discipline may not you let go keep her for she [is] life your.
Edbinta xajiso, oo ha iska sii deyn; Hayso, waayo, iyadu waa noloshaada,
14 In [the] path of wicked [people] may not you go and may not you advance in [the] way of evil [people].
Waddada kuwa sharka leh ha gelin, Oo jidka xumaanfalayaashana ha qaadin.
15 Avoid it may not you pass along on it turn aside from on it and pass on.
Ka leexo, hana marin, Ka noqo oo hareer ka mar.
16 For not they will sleep if not they do harm and it is taken away sleep their if not (they bring injury. *Q(K)*)
Waayo, iyagu ma seexdaan haddaanay xumaan falin, Oo hurdadoodana waa laga qaadaa iyagoo cid kufiya mooyaane.
17 For they eat [the] bread of wickedness and [the] wine of violence they drink.
Waayo, iyagu waxay cunaan kibistii sharnimada, Oo waxay cabbaan khamrigii dulmiga.
18 And [the] path of righteous [people] [is] like a light of brightness [which] goes and [which] shines until [the] established [part] of the day.
Laakiinse waddada kuwa xaqa ahu waa sida iftiinka waaberiga oo kale, Kaas oo hadba soo kordha ilaa uu noqdo maalin cad.
19 [the] way of Wicked [people] [is] like darkness not they know on what? are they stumbling.
Jidka kuwa sharka lahuna waa sida gudcurka oo kale. Oo iyagu garan maayaan waxay ku turunturoodaan.
20 O son my to words my be attentive! to utterances my incline ear your.
Wiilkaygiiyow, erayadayda dhegayso, Oo hadalladaydana dhegta u dhig.
21 Do not let them depart from eyes your keep them in [the] midst of heart your.
Indhahaaga hortooda yaanay ka fogaan, Oo qalbigaaga dhexdiisa ku hayso,
22 For [are] life they to [those who] find them and to all flesh his health.
Waayo, iyagu waa u nolol kuwa hela, Oo jidhkooda oo dhanna waa u caafimaad.
23 More than all guarding guard heart your for [are] from it [the] sources of life.
Digtoonaan qalbigaaga u dhawr, Waayo, isagay noloshu ka soo baxdaaye.
24 Remove from yourself crookedness of mouth and deviousness of lips put far away from yourself.
Af qalloocan iska saar, Oo bushimo maroorsanna iska fogee.
25 Eyes your before let them look and eyelids your let them look straight before you.
Indhahaagu qummaati wax ha u fiiriyeen, Oo indhahaaga daboolkooduna si toosan hortaada ha u eegeen.
26 Make level [the] track of foot your and all ways your let them be steadfast.
Waddada cagahaaga aad ugu fiirso, Oo jidadkaaga oo dhammuna ha toosnaadeen.
27 May not you turn aside right and left turn aside foot your from evil.
Xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona ha u leexan, Oo cagtaadana xumaanta ka fogee.
