< Proverbs 1 >
1 Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
Kuwanu waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer Binu Israa'iil,
2 For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence,
Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,
3 For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness,
In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;
4 For giving to simple ones — prudence, To a youth — knowledge and discretion.
Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.
5 (The wise doth hear and increaseth learning, And the intelligent doth obtain counsels.)
Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,
6 For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings.
Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.
7 Fear of Jehovah [is] a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!
Waxaa aqoonta ugu horreeya Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa; Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay quudhsadaan xigmadda iyo edbinta.
8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,
Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,
9 For a graceful wreath [are] they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.
Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.
Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.
11 If they say, 'Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,
Hadday kugu yidhaahdaan, Na soo raac, Aan gaadno inaynu dhiig daadinno, Oo aynu sababla'aan kuwa aan eedda lahayn si qarsoon ugu dhuumanno;
12 We swallow them as Sheol — alive, And whole — as those going down [to] the pit, (Sheol )
Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yamayska ku dhaca; (Sheol )
13 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with] spoil,
Waxaynu heli doonnaa maal qaali ah oo cayn kasta ah, Oo guryaheennana waxaynu ka buuxsan doonnaa booli;
14 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is — to all of us.'
Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;
15 My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,
Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;
16 For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.
Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.
17 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird.
Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;
18 And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.
Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.
19 So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.
Sidaas oo kalay yihiin jidadka mid kasta oo faa'iido u hunguri weyn, Oo nafta ka qaada kuwa leh.
20 Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice,
Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;
21 At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith:
Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,
22 'Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?
Kuwiinna garaadlaawayaasha ahow, ilaa goormaad garaadla'aanta sii jeclaanaysaan? Oo kuwa wax quudhsadaana, ilaa goormay quudhsashadooda ku sii farxayaan? Nacasyaduna, ilaa goormay aqoonta sii necbaanayaan?
23 Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.
Canaantayda u soo noqda; Bal eega, anigu waxaan idinku shubi doonaa ruuxayga, Oo waxaan idin ogeysiin doonaa erayadayda.
24 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,
Anigu waan idiin yeedhay, laakiinse waad i diiddeen; Oo anigu gacantaydaan soo fidiyey, oo ninnana dan kama yeelan;
25 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.
Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;
26 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,
Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;
27 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.
Markay cabsidiinnu u timaado sida duufaan oo kale, Oo belaayadiinnuna u timaado sida dabayl cirwareen ah; Oo dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi idinku yimaadaan.
28 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.
Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;
29 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.
Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;
30 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,
Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;
31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.
Haddaba iyagu waxay cuni doonaan midhihii jidkooda, Oo waxay ka dhergi doonaan taladoodii.
32 For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.
Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.
33 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And [is] quiet from fear of evil!'
Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
