Maahmaahyadii 1
1 Kuwanu waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer Binu Israa'iil,
The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel.
2 Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,
They are for achieving wisdom and instruction, and to recognize sayings that bring insight.
3 In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;
They provide education in what makes sense, living right, judging correctly, and acting fairly.
4 Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.
They give discernment to the immature, knowledge and discretion to the young.
5 Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,
Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance,
6 Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.
understanding the proverbs and puzzles, the sayings and questions of the wise.
7 Waxaa aqoonta ugu horreeya Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa; Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay quudhsadaan xigmadda iyo edbinta.
Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.
8 Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,
My son, pay attention to your father's instruction, and don't reject your mother's teaching.
9 Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.
They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.
10 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.
My son, if evil people try to tempt you, don't give into them.
11 Hadday kugu yidhaahdaan, Na soo raac, Aan gaadno inaynu dhiig daadinno, Oo aynu sababla'aan kuwa aan eedda lahayn si qarsoon ugu dhuumanno;
They may tell you, “Come with us. Let's go and hide, ready to kill someone. Let's ambush someone for fun!
12 Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yamayska ku dhaca; (Sheol h7585)
Let's bury them alive; let's put them in the grave while they're still healthy! (Sheol h7585)
13 Waxaynu heli doonnaa maal qaali ah oo cayn kasta ah, Oo guryaheennana waxaynu ka buuxsan doonnaa booli;
We'll take from them all kinds of valuable things and fill our homes with the stuff we steal!
14 Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;
Come and join us and we'll all share what we get!”
15 Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;
My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.
16 Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.
For they rush to do evil; they hurry to commit violence and murder.
17 Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;
There's no point in trying to lure birds into a net when they can see it.
18 Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.
However, these evil people hide ready to kill others, but they themselves are the victims. They're only ambushing themselves!
19 Sidaas oo kalay yihiin jidadka mid kasta oo faa'iido u hunguri weyn, Oo nafta ka qaada kuwa leh.
This is what happens to you if you try to become rich through crime—it kills you!
20 Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;
Wisdom calls out in the streets; she shouts aloud in the squares.
21 Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,
She cries out at busy corners; she explains her message at the town gates:
22 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?
“How long will you stupid people love stupidity? How long will scornful people enjoy their mocking? How long will fools hate knowledge?
23 Canaantayda u soo noqda; Bal eega, anigu waxaan idinku shubi doonaa ruuxayga, Oo waxaan idin ogeysiin doonaa erayadayda.
Pay attention to my warnings, and I'll pour out my deepest thoughts to you—I'll explain what I know to you.
24 Anigu waan idiin yeedhay, laakiinse waad i diiddeen; Oo anigu gacantaydaan soo fidiyey, oo ninnana dan kama yeelan;
For I have called you, but you refused to listen; I reached out my hand to you, but you didn't care.
25 Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;
You ignored everything I said; you wouldn't accept any of my warnings.
26 Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;
So I'll laugh at you when you're in trouble; I'll mock you when you're in a panic.
27 Markay cabsidiinnu u timaado sida duufaan oo kale, Oo belaayadiinnuna u timaado sida dabayl cirwareen ah; Oo dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi idinku yimaadaan.
When panic rains down on you like a storm, when trouble hits you like a whirlwind, when sorrow and pain come on you,
28 Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;
then you'll call out to me for help, but I won't answer; you'll search hard for me, but won't find me.
29 Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;
Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.
30 Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;
They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.
31 Haddaba iyagu waxay cuni doonaan midhihii jidkooda, Oo waxay ka dhergi doonaan taladoodii.
So they'll have to eat the fruit of their own choices, bloated by their own devious schemes.
32 Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.
Stupid people are killed by their rebellion; foolish people are destroyed by their lack of concern.
33 Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
But everyone who listens to me will be kept safe, and will live without worrying about problems.”
