Proverbs 23
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,
Markaad u fadhiisatid inaad taliye wax la cuntid, Aad uga fiirso waxa hortaada yaal,
2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.
Oo mindi cunaha iska saar Haddaad tahay nin hunguri weyn.
3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.
Cuntadiisa macaan ha damcin, Waayo, waa cunto khiyaaneed.
4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
Ha isku daalin si aad taajir ku noqotid. Oo xigmaddaadana ka joogso.
5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
Ma waxaad indhaha ku dayaysaa wax aan jirin? Waayo, hubaal maalku wuxuu yeeshaa baalal, Sida gorgor samada u duula oo kale.
6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,
Kan isha sharka leh kibistiisa ha cunin, Cuntadiisa macaanna ha damcin,
7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so [is] he, 'Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart [is] not with thee.
Waayo, isagu waxaa weeye siduu qalbiga kaga fikiro; Wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Cun oo cab, Laakiinse qalbigiisu kulama jiro.
8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that [are] sweet.
Wixii aad cuntay waad soo mantagi doontaa, Oo erayadaadii macaanaana way kaa lumi doonaan.
9 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
Nacas waxba ha kula hadlin, Waayo, isagu xigmadda hadalkaaga wuu quudhsan doonaa.
10 Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,
Soohdintii hore ha durkin, Beeraha agoommadana ha dhex gelin,
11 For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.
Waayo, bixiyahoodu waa xoog badan yahay; Oo isaga ayaa dacwadooda kugu qaadi doona.
12 Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.
Qalbigaaga edbinta u jeedi, Oo dhegahana erayada aqoonta.
13 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
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 thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,
Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii qalbigaagu caqli leeyahay, Qalbigayguna wuu farxi doonaa.
16 And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.
Haah, oo xataa uurkaygu wuu rayrayn doonaa, Markay bushimahaagu wax qumman ku hadlaan.
17 Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But — in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
Qalbigaagu yaanu dembilayaal ka hinaasin, Laakiinse maalinta oo dhan Rabbiga ka cabso.
18 For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.
Waayo, hubaal waxaa jira abaalgud, Oo rajadaaduna kaama go'i doonto.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
Wiilkaygiiyow, i maqal, oo caqli yeelo, Oo qalbigaagana jidka ku toosi.
20 Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
Ha dhex joogin khamriyacabyada Iyo kuwa hunguriweynaanta hilibka u cuna,
21 For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.
Waayo, kii sakhraan ah iyo kii hunguri weynuba way caydhoobi doonaan, Oo lulona nin calal bay u xidhi doontaa.
22 Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.
Dhegayso aabbahaagii ku dhalay, Oo hooyadaana ha quudhsan markay gabowdo.
23 Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and 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 rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.
Kii xaq ah aabbihiis aad buu u farxi doonaa, Oo kii ilmo caqli leh dhalaana farxad buu ka heli doonaa.
25 Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.
Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaaba ha farxeen, Oo tii ku dhashayna ha rayrayso.
26 Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.
Wiilkaygiiyow, qalbigaaga i sii, Oo indhahaaguna jidadkayga ha dhawreen.
27 For a harlot [is] a deep ditch, And a strange woman [is] a strait pit.
Waayo, dhillo waa booraan dheer, Oo naag qalaadna waa god cidhiidhi ah.
28 She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.
Sida tuug oo kale ayay u gabbataa, Oo waxay dadka ku dhex badisaa khaayinnada.
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of 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 tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.
Waa kuwa wakhti dheer ku raaga khamriga, Waana kuwa u taga inay doondoontaan khamri laysku daray.
31 See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.
Ha fiirin khamrigu markuu casaado, Markuu koobka ka dhex dhalaalo, Iyo markuu si wanaagsan u shubmayoba.
32 Its latter end — as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.
Ugu dambaysta wuxuu wax u qaniinaa sida abeesada, Oo sida jilbiskana wax buu u qaniinaa.
33 Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.
Indhahaagu waxay arki doonaan naago qalaad, Oo qalbigaaguna wuxuu ku hadli doonaa waxyaalo qalloocan.
34 And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.
Oo waxaad ahaan doontaa sida kan badda dhexdeeda jiifsada, Ama sida ka dakhalka dhaladiisa sare seexda.
35 'They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake — I seek it yet again!'
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.
