Wacdiyahii 5
1 Markaad guriga Ilaah tegaysid is-ilaali, waayo, inaad u dhowaatid si aad wax u maqashid way ka roon tahay inaad bixisid allabariga nacasyada oo kale, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma oga inay wax shar ah samaynayaan.
When you enter God’s temple, you should be sure to listen carefully. Doing that is better than offering sacrifices to God [and then not obeying him], which is foolish.
2 Afkaaga ha ku degdegin, oo inaad Ilaah hortiisa wax kaga hadashid ha u dhaqsan, waayo, Ilaah samaduu joogaa, adna dhulkaad joogtaa, haddaba hadalkaagu ha yaraado.
Think carefully before you speak [MTY] or before you promise God that you will do something [IDM]. [Do not forget that] God is in heaven [and he is all-powerful] and you are here on the earth, so think carefully before you [make any promises to God].
3 Waayo, riyo waxay ka dhalataa hawl badan, oo nacaska codkiisana waxaa lagu gartaa hadalkiisa badan.
If you are continually thinking [and worrying] about things, you will have bad dreams about them and not rest [well]. And the more you talk, the more likely it will be that you will say things that are foolish.
4 Markaad Ilaah nidar u nidartid waa inaadan inaad bixisid dib uga dhicin, waayo, isagu nacasyada kuma farxo ee wixii aad u nidartay bixi.
When you solemnly promise God that you will do something, do not be foolish by delaying in doing it, because God is not pleased with foolish people. Do [all] the things that you promise God that you will do.
5 Inaad nidar gasho oo aadan bixin waxaa ka wanaagsan inaadan waxba nidrin.
It is better to not promise [anything] than to promise to do something, and [then] not doing it.
6 Afkaaga ha u oggolaan inuu jidhkaaga dembaajiyo, oo malaa'igta horteedana ha ka odhan, Qalad bay ahaayeen. Bal maxaad Ilaah codkaaga ugu cadhaysiisaa si uu shuqulka gacmahaaga u baabbi'iyo?
Do not sin by promising to do something and then not doing it. And [when you promise God to do something and do not do it], do not say to God’s priest that it was a mistake for you to promise to do that. If you do that, God will certainly [RHQ] become very angry with you, and he will take from you everything that you [SYN] have worked to acquire.
7 Waayo, riyooyin iyo erayo fara badanba waxaa ku jira wax badan oo aan waxtar lahayn, laakiinse adigu Ilaah ka cabso.
Promising to do something and not doing it is like [SIM] a dream that has no value; instead, revere God [by doing what you promised him that you would do].
8 Haddaad gobol ku aragtid masaakiin la dulmayo, iyo garsoorid iyo caddaalad si xoog leh loo qalloocinayo, waxaas ha la yaabin, waayo, kan sare mid ka sii sarreeya ayaa eegaya, oo weliba waxaa jira kuwa ka sii sarreeya iyaga.
Do not be surprised if you see poor [people] being (oppressed/treated cruelly) [by powerful/influential people], or if you see judges making unjust decisions throughout the land. [That happens] because the people who do that are supervised [and cheated by] more important officials [DOU],
9 Dhulka faa'iidadiisu kulli way ka dhexaysaa, waayo, boqorka qudhiisaba waxaa looga adeegaa beerta.
and even the king forces the people to give him some of the crops that they harvest.
10 Kii lacag jecelu lacag kama dhergi doono, oo kii maal badan jeceluna faa'iido kama dhergi doono, taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
Everyone who tries to [get as much] money as they can will never think that they have enough. They will never be satisfied with the money that they have. That also is senseless.
11 Markii maalku bato kuwa cunaana way sii bataan. Maalku bal muxuu kan leh u taraa inuu indhihiisa ku fiiriyo mooyaane?
The more money that we have, the more people want us to spend our money to buy things for them. So people who have a lot of money do not [RHQ] benefit from it; they see [MTY] it when they get it, but it soon (disappears/is completely spent).
12 Ninkii hawshooda hurdadiisu waa u macaan tahay, hadduu wax yar cuno iyo hadduu wax badan cunoba, laakiinse taajirka maalkiisa badanu hurdaduu u diidaa.
Those who work hard sleep peacefully [at night], even if they do not have much food to eat. But rich [people] do not sleep well, because [they worry] about their money.
13 Waxaa jira wax shar ah oo aad u xun oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, waana maal badan oo uu kan lahu sii haysto oo uu waxyeello uun isu keeno.
I have seen [another] terrible thing that happens here on the earth [MTY]: People save [up all] their money and become rich, [but] they are not helped by saving a lot of money,
14 Oo maalkaasu wax xun buu ku baabba'aa, oo kii lahaana wiil buu dhalay, laakiinse gacantiisa waxba kuma jiraan.
[because] something happens that causes their money to be gone, and when they die, there is no money for their children to get/inherit.
15 Siduu uurka hooyadiis uga soo baxay ayuu isagoo qaawan ku tegi doonaa, siduu hore ku yimid oo kale. Oo hawshiisa aawadeedna wax uu gacanta ku qaadan karo ma qaadan doono.
When we are born, we do not bring anything with us, and when we die, we take nothing with us from all that we have earned by our working hard.
16 Oo weliba taasuna waa wax aad u xun inuu si kastaba ku tago siduu hore ku yimid oo kale; haddaba kan dabayl ku hawshooda bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu helayaa?
That also seems senseless. People bring nothing [into the world when they are born], and they leave [this world] taking nothing with them. They have worked hard, but they receive no lasting benefit [MET].
17 Oo weliba cimrigiisa oo dhan wuxuu ku cunaa gudcur, oo intaasna wuxuu ku jiraa murug, iyo cudur, iyo cadho.
[Furthermore, rich people] are always miserable [MET] and sad, and depressed/discouraged and often sick and (resentful/thinking that what has happened to them is unfair).
18 Bal eeg, waxaan gartay inay wanaagsan tahay oo habboon tahay in qof wax cuno oo wax cabbo, iyo inuu hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan ku istareexo cimrigii Ilaah siiyey oo dhan, waayo, taasu waa qaybtiisa.
So, the best thing for people to do here on the earth during the few years that God allows them to be alive is to eat and drink and to enjoy their work, because those are the things that God has given to them.
19 Oo weliba nin kasta oo Ilaah maal iyo hanti siiyey, oo haddana siiyey karti uu wax kaga cuno, oo uu kaga qayb qaato, iyo inuu hawshiisa ku reyreeyoba, taasu waa hibo Ilaah.
If people are rich and have a lot of possessions, and are able to (enjoy/be happy with) the things that they have and to enjoy their work, those things are [also] gifts from God.
20 Waayo, isagu aad uma xusuusan doono wakhtigii uu noolaa, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa farxad qalbigiisa geliya.
Those people do not worry much about [everything that has happened] during the time that they have been alive, because God enables them to be happy doing everything that they do.
