Maahmaahyadii 2

1 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad erayadayda aqbashid, Oo aad amarradayda qalbigaaga ku haysatid,

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee;

2 Si aad dhegta xigmadda ugu dhigtid, Oo aad qalbigaagana waxgarashada ugu qabatid;

So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;

3 Haddaad wax-kala-garashada ka daba qaylisid, Oo aad codkaaga waxgarashada kor ugu qaaddid;

Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;

4 Haddaad iyada u raadisid sida lacagta oo kale, Oo aad u doondoontid sida maal qarsoon,

If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;

5 Markaas waxaad garan doontaa Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa, Oo waxaad heli doontaa aqoonta Ilaah.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

6 Waayo, Rabbigu isagaa bixiya xigmadda, Oo afkiisa waxaa ka soo baxa aqoonta iyo waxgarashada.

For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;

7 Isagu kuwa xaqa ah xigmad buu u kaydiyaa, Oo kuwa daacadnimada u socdana waa u gaashaan.

He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;

8 Isagu wuxuu dhawraa waddooyinka garta, Oo wuxuu xannaaneeyaa jidka quduusiintiisa.

That He may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of His godly ones.

9 Markaasaad garan doontaa xaqnimada, iyo garta, Iyo caaddilnimada, iyo jid kasta oo wanaagsan.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity, yea, every good path.

10 Waayo, waxaa qalbigaaga soo geli doonta xigmadda, Oo aqoontuna waxay ka farxin doontaa naftaada;

For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;

11 Digtoonaanta baa ku xanaanayn doonta, Oo waxaa ku dhawri doonta waxgarashada,

Discretion shall watch over thee, discernment shall guard thee;

12 Si lagaaga samatabbixiyo jidka kan sharka ah, Iyo dadka waxyaalaha qalloocan ku hadla,

To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things;

13 Oo qummanaanta waddooyinkeeda ka taga, Si ay jidadka gudcurka ugu socdaan,

Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14 Oo ay ku reyreeyaan inay xumaan falaan, Oo ay qalloocnaanta kan sharkaa ku farxaan;

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;

15 Oo jidadkoodu maroorsan yihiin, Oo waddooyinkooduna qalloocan yihiin,

Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths;

16 In lagaa samatabbixiyo naagta qalaad, Xataa naagta qalaad oo hadalladeeda kugu sasabata,

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words;

17 Taasoo ka tagta horseedkii yaraanteeda, Oo illowda axdigii Ilaaheeda;

That forsaketh the lord of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 Waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku foororaa dhimasho, Oo waddooyinkeeduna waxay ku dhaadhacaan kuwii dhintay.

For her house sinketh down unto death, and her paths unto the shades;

19 Kuwa iyada u gala midkoodna sooma noqdo, Oo waddooyinka noloshana ma ay helaan.

None that go unto her return, neither do they attain unto the paths of life;

20 Waa inaad ku socotid jidka dadka wanaagsan, Oo aad dhawrtid waddooyinka kuwa xaqa ah.

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

21 Waayo, kuwa qummanu dhulkay fadhiyi doonaan, Oo kuwa kaamilka ahuna way sii joogi doonaan.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the whole-hearted shall remain in it.

22 Laakiinse kuwa sharkaa waa laga gooyn doonaa dhulka, Oo khaayinnadana waa laga rujin doonaa.

But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the faithless shall be plucked up out of it.
