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, the king of Israel:
2 Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,
To know wisdom and instruction; to comprehend the sayings of understanding;
3 In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;
To accept the instruction of intelligence, righteousness, and justice, and equity;
4 Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.
To give to the simple prudence, to the youth knowledge and discretion.
5 Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,
The wise will hear, and will increase [his] information; and the man of understanding will obtain wise counsels:
6 Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.
To understand a proverb, and a sage sentence; the words of the wise, and their riddles.
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: wisdom and instruction fools [alone] despise.
8 Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and cast not off the teaching of thy mother;
9 Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.
For a wreath of grace are they unto thy head, and chains for thy throat.
10 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.
My son, if sinners wish to 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 should say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us watch in concealment for the uselessly innocent;
12 Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yamayska ku dhaca; (Sheol h7585)
We will swallow them up like the grave alive; and the men of integrity, 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 [kinds of] precious wealth, we will fill our houses with booty;
14 Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;
Thy lot must thou cast in our midst; one purse shall be for us all:
15 Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;
My son, walk not thou on the way with them; withhold thy foot from their path;
16 Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.
For their feet run after evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
17 Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;
For uselessly is the net spread out before the eyes of every winged bird:
18 Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.
While they lie in wait for their [own] blood; they watch in concealment 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 paths of every one that is greedy after [unlawful] gain; it taketh away the life of those that own it.
20 Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;
Wisdom crieth loudly without; in the public places she uttereth her voice;
21 Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,
At the corner of noisy streets she calleth, at the entrances of gates; in the city she sayeth her speeches:
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 take their delight in 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 back to my admonition: 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;
Whereas I called, and ye refused; I stretched out my hand, and no man was attentive;
25 Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;
And ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would not accept my admonition:
26 Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;
[Therefore] I also will truly laugh at your calamity; I will deride [you] when your terror 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 terror cometh like the tempest-cloud, and your calamity hasteneth like a whirlwind; when there come upon you distress and affliction.
28 Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;
Then will they call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me;
29 Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;
For the reason that they hated knowledge, and the fear of the Lord they did not choose;
30 Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;
[That] they would not attend to my counsel: [that] they rejected all my admonition.
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 from their own counsels shall they be satisfied.
32 Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.
For the defection of the simple will slay them, and the prosperity of fools will cause them to be lost.
33 Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
But he that hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from the dread of evil.
