Maahmaahyadii 1
1 Kuwanu waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer Binu Israa'iil,
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,
A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 Waxaa aqoonta ugu horreeya Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa; Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay quudhsadaan xigmadda iyo edbinta.
The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.
For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 Hadday kugu yidhaahdaan, Na soo raac, Aan gaadno inaynu dhiig daadinno, Oo aynu sababla'aan kuwa aan eedda lahayn si qarsoon ugu dhuumanno;
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yamayska ku dhaca; (Sheol h7585)
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: (Sheol h7585)
13 Waxaynu heli doonnaa maal qaali ah oo cayn kasta ah, Oo guryaheennana waxaynu ka buuxsan doonnaa booli;
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.
And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives.
19 Sidaas oo kalay yihiin jidadka mid kasta oo faa'iido u hunguri weyn, Oo nafta ka qaada kuwa leh.
So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, [saying],
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, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Canaantayda u soo noqda; Bal eega, anigu waxaan idinku shubi doonaa ruuxayga, Oo waxaan idin ogeysiin doonaa erayadayda.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Anigu waan idiin yeedhay, laakiinse waad i diiddeen; Oo anigu gacantaydaan soo fidiyey, oo ninnana dan kama yeelan;
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 Markay cabsidiinnu u timaado sida duufaan oo kale, Oo belaayadiinnuna u timaado sida dabayl cirwareen ah; Oo dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi idinku yimaadaan.
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Haddaba iyagu waxay cuni doonaan midhihii jidkooda, Oo waxay ka dhergi doonaan taladoodii.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
