Maahmaahyadii 2
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad erayadayda aqbashid, Oo aad amarradayda qalbigaaga ku haysatid,
Oh, my son, that thou wouldst receive my words, And treasure up my precepts within thee;
2 Si aad dhegta xigmadda ugu dhigtid, Oo aad qalbigaagana waxgarashada ugu qabatid;
That thou wouldst apply thine ear to wisdom, And incline thy heart to understanding!
3 Haddaad wax-kala-garashada ka daba qaylisid, Oo aad codkaaga waxgarashada kor ugu qaaddid;
For if thou wilt call aloud to knowledge, And lift up thy voice to understanding, —
4 Haddaad iyada u raadisid sida lacagta oo kale, Oo aad u doondoontid sida maal qarsoon,
If thou wilt 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 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; From his mouth proceed knowledge and understanding:
7 Isagu kuwa xaqa ah xigmad buu u kaydiyaa, Oo kuwa daacadnimada u socdana waa u gaashaan.
He layeth up safety for the righteous; He is a shield to them that walk uprightly:
8 Isagu wuxuu dhawraa waddooyinka garta, Oo wuxuu xannaaneeyaa jidka quduusiintiisa.
He guardeth the paths of equity, And defendeth the way of his servants.
9 Markaasaad garan doontaa xaqnimada, iyo garta, Iyo caaddilnimada, iyo jid kasta oo wanaagsan.
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and equity And uprightness, yea, every good path.
10 Waayo, waxaa qalbigaaga soo geli doonta xigmadda, Oo aqoontuna waxay ka farxin doontaa naftaada;
When wisdom entereth into thy heart, And knowledge is pleasant to thy soul,
11 Digtoonaanta baa ku xanaanayn doonta, Oo waxaa ku dhawri doonta waxgarashada,
Discretion will guard thee, Understanding will preserve thee.
12 Si lagaaga samatabbixiyo jidka kan sharka ah, Iyo dadka waxyaalaha qalloocan ku hadla,
It will deliver thee from the way of the wicked, 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 in doing evil, And delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
15 Oo jidadkoodu maroorsan yihiin, Oo waddooyinkooduna qalloocan yihiin,
Whose paths are crooked, And who are froward in their ways.
16 In lagaa samatabbixiyo naagta qalaad, Xataa naagta qalaad oo hadalladeeda kugu sasabata,
It will deliver thee from the wife of another, From the stranger, who useth smooth words;
17 Taasoo ka tagta horseedkii yaraanteeda, Oo illowda axdigii Ilaaheeda;
Who forsaketh the friend 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 to Death, And her paths to the shades of the dead:
19 Kuwa iyada u gala midkoodna sooma noqdo, Oo waddooyinka noloshana ma ay helaan.
None that go to her return again; They will not attain the paths of life.
20 Waa inaad ku socotid jidka dadka wanaagsan, Oo aad dhawrtid waddooyinka kuwa xaqa ah.
Therefore walk thou 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 righteous 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 transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
