Maahmaahyadii 22
1 Magac wanaagsan baa laga doortaa maal badan, Oo nimcana waa ka wanaagsan tahay lacag iyo dahab.
A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold—good grace.
2 Taajirka iyo miskiinku way wada kulmaan, Oo Rabbigu waa kii kulligood sameeyey.
Rich and poor have met together, YHWH [is] the Maker of them all.
3 Ninkii miyir lahu sharkuu arkaa, wuuna dhuuntaa, Laakiinse garaadlaawayaashu way iska sii maraan, waana la taqsiiraa.
The prudent has seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.
4 Is-hoosaysiinta iyo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa abaalgudkoodu Waxaa weeyaan hodantinimo iyo sharaf iyo nolol.
The end of humility [is] the fear of YHWH, riches, 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 [are] in the way of the perverse, Whoever is keeping his soul is far from them.
6 Ilmo u rabbee siduu ku socon lahaa, Oo isna xataa markuu gaboobo kama leexan doono.
Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he does not turn from it.
7 Taajirku masaakiintuu u taliyaa Oo kii wax amaahdaana midiidin buu u yahay kii wax amaahiya.
The rich rules over the poor, And a servant [is] the borrower to the lender.
8 Kii xumaan beeraa wuxuu goosan doonaa belaayo, Oo usha cadhadiisuna way dhammaan doontaa.
Whoever is sowing perverseness reaps sorrow, And the rod of his anger wears out.
9 Kii il deeqsiya lahu wuu barakoobi doonaa, Waayo, isagu wuxuu cuntadiisa wax ka siiyaa masaakiinta.
The good of eye—he is blessed, For he has given of his bread to the poor.
10 Kan wax quudhsada eri, oo muranku wuu bixi doonaa, Dirirta iyo cayduna way dhammaan doonaan.
Cast out a scorner—and contention goes out, And strife and shame cease.
11 Kii daahirsanaanta qalbiga jecel, Oo bushimihiisu nimco leeyihiin, xataa boqorka ayaa saaxiibkiis ahaan doona.
Whoever is loving cleanness of heart, His lips [are] grace, A king [is] his friend.
12 Indhaha Rabbigu waxay dhawraan ka aqoonta leh, Laakiinse isagu wuxuu afgembiyaa erayada khaayinka.
The eyes of YHWH have kept knowledge, And He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
13 Kii caajis ahu wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Libaax baa dibadda jooga, Oo jidka dhexdiisa ayaa laygu dili doonaa.
The slothful has said, “A lion [is] outside, I am slain in the midst of the broad places.”
14 Naago qalaad afkoodu waa god dheer, Oo waxaa ku dhici doona kii xagga Rabbiga laga nacay.
The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit, The abhorred of YHWH falls there.
15 Nacasnimadu waxay ku xidhan tahay qalbiga ilmaha. Laakiinse usha edbintu way ka fogayn doontaa.
Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of discipline puts it far from him.
16 Kii miskiinka u dulma inuu maal korodhsado, Iyo kii taajirka wax siiyaaba hubaal way baahnaan doonaan.
He [who] is oppressing the poor to multiply his [riches], Is giving to the rich—only to want.
17 Dhegta u dhig, oo erayada kuwa caqliga leh maqal, Oo qalbigana aqoontayda u jeedi.
Incline your ear, and hear words of the wise, And set your heart to my knowledge,
18 Waayo, waa wax wanaagsan haddii aad uurka ku haysatid, Oo hadday dhammaantood bushimahaaga diyaar ku ahaadaan.
For they are pleasant when you keep them in your heart, They are prepared together for your lips.
19 Bal eeg, adigaan maanta iyaga ku ogeysiiyey, Inaad Rabbiga aaminsan tahay.
That your trust may be in YHWH, I caused you to know today, even you.
20 Miyaanan waxyaalo wanaagsan kuugu qorin Talooyinka iyo aqoonta,
Have I not written to you three times With counsels and knowledge?
21 Si aan kuu ogeysiiyo hubaasha erayada runta, Inaad erayada runta uga jawaabtid kuwii ku soo diray?
To cause you to know the certainty of sayings of truth, To return sayings of truth to those sending you.
22 Miskiinka ha dhicin, waayo, isagu waa miskiin, Oo kan dhibaataysanna meesha iridda ha ku dulmin,
Do not rob the poor because he [is] poor, And do not bruise the afflicted in the gate.
23 Waayo, Rabbiga ayaa dacwadooda u qaadi doona, Oo kuwa iyaga dhaca naftoodana wuu dhici doonaa.
For YHWH pleads their cause, And has spoiled the soul of their spoilers.
24 Ha la saaxiibin nin xanaaq badan, Oo nin cadho kululna waa inaanad la socon,
Do not show yourself friendly with an angry man, And do not go in with a man of fury,
25 Waaba intaas oo aad jidkiisa baratid, Oo aad naftaadana dabin ku riddid.
Lest you learn his paths, And have received a snare to your soul.
26 Ha noqonin sida kuwa gacanta dhaar ugu dhiiba, Ama sida kuwa deyman u dammiinta.
Do not be among those striking hands, Among sureties [for] burdens.
27 Haddaanad haysan wax aad bixiso, Bal muxuu sariirtaada hoostaada uga la bixi?
If you have nothing to pay, Why does he take your bed from under you?
28 Soohdinta hore oo ay awowayaashu dhigeen Innaba ha durkin.
Do not remove a border of ancient times, That your fathers have made.
29 Miyaad aragtaa nin shuqulkiisa ku dadaala? Isagu wuxuu istaagi doonaa boqorro hortood. Oo kuwa hoose hortoodana ma istaagi doono.
Have you seen a man speedy in his business? He stations himself before kings, He does not station himself before obscure men!
