Maahmaahyadii 22
1 Magac wanaagsan baa laga doortaa maal badan, Oo nimcana waa ka wanaagsan tahay lacag iyo dahab.
A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold.
2 Taajirka iyo miskiinku way wada kulmaan, Oo Rabbigu waa kii kulligood sameeyey.
The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is Maker of them all.
3 Ninkii miyir lahu sharkuu arkaa, wuuna dhuuntaa, Laakiinse garaadlaawayaashu way iska sii maraan, waana la taqsiiraa.
The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences.
4 Is-hoosaysiinta iyo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa abaalgudkoodu Waxaa weeyaan hodantinimo iyo sharaf iyo nolol.
The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD are wealth and honor and life.
5 Qodxan iyo dabinnaba waxay yaalliin jidka ninka qalloocan, Laakiinse kii naftiisa dhawraa waa ka fogaan doonaa iyaga.
Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them.
6 Ilmo u rabbee siduu ku socon lahaa, Oo isna xataa markuu gaboobo kama leexan doono.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
7 Taajirku masaakiintuu u taliyaa Oo kii wax amaahdaana midiidin buu u yahay kii wax amaahiya.
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
8 Kii xumaan beeraa wuxuu goosan doonaa belaayo, Oo usha cadhadiisuna way dhammaan doontaa.
He who sows injustice will reap disaster, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9 Kii il deeqsiya lahu wuu barakoobi doonaa, Waayo, isagu wuxuu cuntadiisa wax ka siiyaa masaakiinta.
A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
10 Kan wax quudhsada eri, oo muranku wuu bixi doonaa, Dirirta iyo cayduna way dhammaan doonaan.
Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.
11 Kii daahirsanaanta qalbiga jecel, Oo bushimihiisu nimco leeyihiin, xataa boqorka ayaa saaxiibkiis ahaan doona.
He who loves a pure heart and gracious lips will have the king for a friend.
12 Indhaha Rabbigu waxay dhawraan ka aqoonta leh, Laakiinse isagu wuxuu afgembiyaa erayada khaayinka.
The LORD’s eyes keep watch over knowledge, but He frustrates the words of the faithless.
13 Kii caajis ahu wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Libaax baa dibadda jooga, Oo jidka dhexdiisa ayaa laygu dili doonaa.
The slacker says, “There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!”
14 Naago qalaad afkoodu waa god dheer, Oo waxaa ku dhici doona kii xagga Rabbiga laga nacay.
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.
15 Nacasnimadu waxay ku xidhan tahay qalbiga ilmaha. Laakiinse usha edbintu way ka fogayn doontaa.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16 Kii miskiinka u dulma inuu maal korodhsado, Iyo kii taajirka wax siiyaaba hubaal way baahnaan doonaan.
Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty.
17 Dhegta u dhig, oo erayada kuwa caqliga leh maqal, Oo qalbigana aqoontayda u jeedi.
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise— apply your mind to my knowledge—
18 Waayo, waa wax wanaagsan haddii aad uurka ku haysatid, Oo hadday dhammaantood bushimahaaga diyaar ku ahaadaan.
for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.
19 Bal eeg, adigaan maanta iyaga ku ogeysiiyey, Inaad Rabbiga aaminsan tahay.
So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.
20 Miyaanan waxyaalo wanaagsan kuugu qorin Talooyinka iyo aqoonta,
Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
21 Si aan kuu ogeysiiyo hubaasha erayada runta, Inaad erayada runta uga jawaabtid kuwii ku soo diray?
to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?
22 Miskiinka ha dhicin, waayo, isagu waa miskiin, Oo kan dhibaataysanna meesha iridda ha ku dulmin,
Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,
23 Waayo, Rabbiga ayaa dacwadooda u qaadi doona, Oo kuwa iyaga dhaca naftoodana wuu dhici doonaa.
for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.
24 Ha la saaxiibin nin xanaaq badan, Oo nin cadho kululna waa inaanad la socon,
Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,
25 Waaba intaas oo aad jidkiisa baratid, Oo aad naftaadana dabin ku riddid.
or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
26 Ha noqonin sida kuwa gacanta dhaar ugu dhiiba, Ama sida kuwa deyman u dammiinta.
Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
27 Haddaanad haysan wax aad bixiso, Bal muxuu sariirtaada hoostaada uga la bixi?
If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
28 Soohdinta hore oo ay awowayaashu dhigeen Innaba ha durkin.
Do not move an ancient boundary stone which your fathers have placed.
29 Miyaad aragtaa nin shuqulkiisa ku dadaala? Isagu wuxuu istaagi doonaa boqorro hortood. Oo kuwa hoose hortoodana ma istaagi doono.
Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will be stationed in the presence of kings; he will not stand before obscure men.
