Maahmaahyadii 2
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad erayadayda aqbashid, Oo aad amarradayda qalbigaaga ku haysatid,
My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you;
2 Si aad dhegta xigmadda ugu dhigtid, Oo aad qalbigaagana waxgarashada ugu qabatid;
So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
3 Haddaad wax-kala-garashada ka daba qaylisid, Oo aad codkaaga waxgarashada kor ugu qaaddid;
Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
4 Haddaad iyada u raadisid sida lacagta oo kale, Oo aad u doondoontid sida maal qarsoon,
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:
5 Markaas waxaad garan doontaa Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa, Oo waxaad heli doontaa aqoonta Ilaah.
then you will 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 gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 Isagu kuwa xaqa ah xigmad buu u kaydiyaa, Oo kuwa daacadnimada u socdana waa u gaashaan.
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who 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 faithful ones.
9 Markaasaad garan doontaa xaqnimada, iyo garta, Iyo caaddilnimada, iyo jid kasta oo wanaagsan.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
10 Waayo, waxaa qalbigaaga soo geli doonta xigmadda, Oo aqoontuna waxay ka farxin doontaa naftaada;
For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Digtoonaanta baa ku xanaanayn doonta, Oo waxaa ku dhawri doonta waxgarashada,
Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
12 Si lagaaga samatabbixiyo jidka kan sharka ah, Iyo dadka waxyaalaha qalloocan ku hadla,
to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things;
13 Oo qummanaanta waddooyinkeeda ka taga, Si ay jidadka gudcurka ugu socdaan,
who forsake 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 perverseness of evil;
15 Oo jidadkoodu maroorsan yihiin, Oo waddooyinkooduna qalloocan yihiin,
who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths:
16 In lagaa samatabbixiyo naagta qalaad, Xataa naagta qalaad oo hadalladeeda kugu sasabata,
To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;
17 Taasoo ka tagta horseedkii yaraanteeda, Oo illowda axdigii Ilaaheeda;
who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God:
18 Waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku foororaa dhimasho, Oo waddooyinkeeduna waxay ku dhaadhacaan kuwii dhintay.
for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead.
19 Kuwa iyada u gala midkoodna sooma noqdo, Oo waddooyinka noloshana ma ay helaan.
None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
20 Waa inaad ku socotid jidka dadka wanaagsan, Oo aad dhawrtid waddooyinka kuwa xaqa ah.
that you may 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 will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
22 Laakiinse kuwa sharkaa waa laga gooyn doonaa dhulka, Oo khaayinnadana waa laga rujin doonaa.
But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be uprooted out of it.
