Proverbs 23
1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, observe carefully what is before you,
Markaad u fadhiisatid inaad taliye wax la cuntid, Aad uga fiirso waxa hortaada yaal,
2 and put a knife to your throat if you are a person who likes to eat a lot of food.
Oo mindi cunaha iska saar Haddaad tahay nin hunguri weyn.
3 Do not crave his delicacies, for it is the food of lies.
Cuntadiisa macaan ha damcin, Waayo, waa cunto khiyaaneed.
4 Do not work too hard to gain wealth; be wise enough to know when to stop.
Ha isku daalin si aad taajir ku noqotid. Oo xigmaddaadana ka joogso.
5 Will you let your eyes light upon it? It will be gone, for it will surely take up wings like an eagle and fly off to 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 the food of one with an evil eye— and do not crave his delicacies,
Kan isha sharka leh kibistiisa ha cunin, Cuntadiisa macaanna ha damcin,
7 for he is the kind of man who counts the price of the food. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
Waayo, isagu waxaa weeye siduu qalbiga kaga fikiro; Wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Cun oo cab, Laakiinse qalbigiisu kulama jiro.
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten and you will have wasted your compliments.
Wixii aad cuntay waad soo mantagi doontaa, Oo erayadaadii macaanaana way kaa lumi doonaan.
9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
Nacas waxba ha kula hadlin, Waayo, isagu xigmadda hadalkaaga wuu quudhsan doonaa.
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of orphans,
Soohdintii hore ha durkin, Beeraha agoommadana ha dhex gelin,
11 for their Redeemer is strong and he will plead their case against you.
Waayo, bixiyahoodu waa xoog badan yahay; Oo isaga ayaa dacwadooda kugu qaadi doona.
12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
Qalbigaaga edbinta u jeedi, Oo dhegahana erayada aqoonta.
13 Do not withhold instruction from a child, for if you discipline him, 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 heart is wise, then my heart also will be glad;
Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii qalbigaagu caqli leeyahay, Qalbigayguna wuu farxi doonaa.
16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
Haah, oo xataa uurkaygu wuu rayrayn doonaa, Markay bushimahaagu wax qumman ku hadlaan.
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of Yahweh all the day.
Qalbigaagu yaanu dembilayaal ka hinaasin, Laakiinse maalinta oo dhan Rabbiga ka cabso.
18 Surely there is a future and your hope will not be cut off.
Waayo, hubaal waxaa jira abaalgud, Oo rajadaaduna kaama go'i doonto.
19 Hear—you!—my son, and be wise and direct your heart in the way.
Wiilkaygiiyow, i maqal, oo caqli yeelo, Oo qalbigaagana jidka ku toosi.
20 Do not associate with drunkards, or with gluttonous eaters of meat,
Ha dhex joogin khamriyacabyada Iyo kuwa hunguriweynaanta hilibka u cuna,
21 for the drunkard and the glutton become poor and slumber will clothe them with 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 begot you and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Dhegayso aabbahaagii ku dhalay, Oo hooyadaana ha quudhsan markay gabowdo.
23 Buy the truth, but do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
Runta soo iibso, oo ha sii iibin, Oo weliba waxaad ku sii darsataa xigmadda iyo edbinta iyo waxgarashada.
24 The father of the righteous person will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will be glad 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 glad and let her who bore you rejoice.
Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaaba ha farxeen, Oo tii ku dhashayna ha rayrayso.
26 My son, give me your heart and let your eyes observe my ways.
Wiilkaygiiyow, qalbigaaga i sii, Oo indhahaaguna jidadkayga ha dhawreen.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit, and an immoral woman is a narrow well.
Waayo, dhillo waa booraan dheer, Oo naag qalaadna waa god cidhiidhi ah.
28 She lies in wait like a robber and she increases the number of the treacherous among humanity.
Sida tuug oo kale ayay u gabbataa, Oo waxay dadka ku dhex badisaa khaayinnada.
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has fights? Who has complaining? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has bloodshot 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 Those who linger over wine, those who try the mixed wine.
Waa kuwa wakhti dheer ku raaga khamriga, Waana kuwa u taga inay doondoontaan khamri laysku daray.
31 Do not look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.
Ha fiirin khamrigu markuu casaado, Markuu koobka ka dhex dhalaalo, Iyo markuu si wanaagsan u shubmayoba.
32 In the last it bites like a serpent and it stings like an adder.
Ugu dambaysta wuxuu wax u qaniinaa sida abeesada, Oo sida jilbiskana wax buu u qaniinaa.
33 Your eyes will see strange things and your heart will utter perverse things.
Indhahaagu waxay arki doonaan naago qalaad, Oo qalbigaaguna wuxuu ku hadli doonaa waxyaalo qalloocan.
34 You will be as one who sleeps on the high seas or lies on the top of a mast.
Oo waxaad ahaan doontaa sida kan badda dhexdeeda jiifsada, Ama sida ka dakhalka dhaladiisa sare seexda.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt. They beat me, but I did not feel it. When will I wake up? I will seek another drink.”
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.
