Proverbs 8
1 Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
Haddaba xigmaddu sow ma dhawaaqin? Waxgarashaduna codkeedii sow kor uma qaadin?
2 On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands.
Waxay taagan tahay meelaha sarreeya Oo jidka agtiisa ah, meesha waddooyinku ku kulmaan.
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
Oo waxay ka qaylisaa irdaha agtooda, Meesha magaalada laga soo galo, Iyo meesha albaabbada laga soo galoba.
4 “I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
Nimanyahow, idinkaan idiin dhawaaqayaa, Oo codkayguna wuxuu u yeedhayaa binu-aadmiga.
5 You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
Garaadlaawayaashow, miyir lahaada, Nacasyadoy, waxgarasho qalbiga ku haysta.
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
I maqla, waayo, waxaan ku hadlayaa waxyaalo wanaagsan, Oo waxaan bushimaha u kala qaadayaa waxyaalo qumman.
7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Maxaa yeelay, afkaygu run buu ku hadlayaa; Oo bushimahayguna shar bay karhaan.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
Erayada afkayga oo dhammi waa xaq, Oo innaba wax qalloocan ama maroorsan lagama helo.
9 They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
Iyagu dhammaantood waa u cad yihiin kii wax garanaya, Oo waana u qumman yihiin kuwa aqoonta hela.
10 Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.
Edbintayda qaata, lacagse ha qaadanina, Oo aqoontana ka hor doorta dahabka saafiga ah.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
Waayo, xigmaddu waa ka sii wanaagsan tahay luulka, Oo wax alla waxa la damci karo oo dhanna iyada lalama simi karo.
12 “I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
Anigoo xigmad ahu, waxaan la fadhiyaa miyir, Oo waxaan helaa aqoon iyo digtoonaan.
13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waa in sharka la naco. Kibirka, iyo madaxweynaanta, iyo jidka sharka, Iyo afka qalloocan ayaan anigu necbahay.
14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
Talo iyo xigmad anigaa iska leh, Oo waxaan ahay waxgarasho, xoogna waan leeyahay.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Boqorradu gacantayday wax ku xukumaan, Oo amiirraduna amarkaygay garta ku gooyaan.
16 By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
Taliyayaasha iyo saraakiisha iyo weliba xaakinnada dunida oo dhammuna Anigay wax iigu taliyaan.
17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
Anigu kuwa i jecel waan jeclahay, Oo kuwa aad iyo aad ii doonaana way i heli doonaan.
18 With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.
Anigaa iska leh taajirnimo iyo sharaf. Iyo weliba maal raagaya iyo xaqnimoba.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.
Midhahaygu way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin dahab, haah, oo xataa dahab aad u wanaagsan way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin, Oo waxa ii kordhaana way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin lacag la doortay.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,
Anigu waxaan ku socdaa jidka xaqnimada, Iyo waddooyinka garta dhexdooda,
21 that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
Si aan kuwa i jecel uga dhigo inay maal dhaxlaan, Oo aan khasnadahooda ugu buuxiyo.
22 “Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
Rabbigu wuxuu i lahaan jiray bilowgii jidkiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii hore ka hor.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
Aniga aakhirada hore waa lay taagay, waxaan jiray bilowgii ugu horreeyey, Ama intaan dunidu jirin ka hor.
24 When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water.
Anigu waxaan dhashay intaan moolal jirin ka hor, Iyo intaanay jirin ilo biyo ka buuxaan.
25 Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;
Intaan la qotomin buuraha Iyo kuraha ka hor ayaan anigu dhashay,
26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
Intaanuu isagu samayn dhulka iyo berrimmada, Amase ciiddii dunida ugu horraysay.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
Markuu samooyinka hagaajiyey anigu waan joogay, Markuu xariijinta ku wareejiyey moolka dushiisa,
28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
Markuu cirka sare taagay, Markii ilaha moolku xoog yeesheen,
29 when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
Markuu badda xad u yeelay Si aan biyuhu amarkiisa ugu xadgudbin, Markuu aasaaskii dhulka dhigay,
30 then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
Markaas anigu isagaan dhinac joogay, anigoo ah sidii hawlhoggaamiye, Oo anigu maalin kasta faraxiisaan ahaa, Oo mar kasta hortiisaan ku rayrayn jiray;
31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
Waxaan ku rayrayn jiray inta dhulkiisa la degay, Oo waxaan ku farxi jiray binu-aadmiga.
32 “Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla; Waayo, waxaa barakaysan kuwa jidadkayga xajiya.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.
Edbinta dhegaysta, oo caqli yeesha, Oo ha diidina.
34 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
Waxaa barakaysan ninka i maqla, Oo maalin kasta irdahayga igu dhawra, Oo albaabbadayda igu suga.
35 For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.
Waayo, ku alla kii i helaa wuxuu helaa nolol, Oo Rabbiguna raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa.
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”
Laakiinse kii igu dembaabaa naftiisuu wax yeelaa, Kuwa aniga i neceb oo dhammu waxay jecel yihiin dhimasho.
