Maahmaahyadii 22
1 Magac wanaagsan baa laga doortaa maal badan, Oo nimcana waa ka wanaagsan tahay lacag iyo dahab.
More choice, is a name, than great riches, beyond silver and gold, is pleasant grace.
2 Taajirka iyo miskiinku way wada kulmaan, Oo Rabbigu waa kii kulligood sameeyey.
The rich and the poor, meet together, the maker of them all, is Yahweh.
3 Ninkii miyir lahu sharkuu arkaa, wuuna dhuuntaa, Laakiinse garaadlaawayaashu way iska sii maraan, waana la taqsiiraa.
A prudent man, seeth calamity, and hideth himself, but, the simple, pass on, and suffer.
4 Is-hoosaysiinta iyo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa abaalgudkoodu Waxaa weeyaan hodantinimo iyo sharaf iyo nolol.
The reward of humility, is the reverence of Yahweh, riches, and honour, 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, —he that guardeth his soul, shall be far from them.
6 Ilmo u rabbee siduu ku socon lahaa, Oo isna xataa markuu gaboobo kama leexan doono.
Train up a youth, in the direction of his duty, even when he becometh 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, over the poor, beareth rule, —and, slave, is the borrower to the lender.
8 Kii xumaan beeraa wuxuu goosan doonaa belaayo, Oo usha cadhadiisuna way dhammaan doontaa.
He that soweth perversity, shall reap trouble, and, the rod of his wrath, shall be ready.
9 Kii il deeqsiya lahu wuu barakoobi doonaa, Waayo, isagu wuxuu cuntadiisa wax ka siiyaa masaakiinta.
A benevolent eye, the same, shall be blessed, —because he hath given of his bread to the poor.
10 Kan wax quudhsada eri, oo muranku wuu bixi doonaa, Dirirta iyo cayduna way dhammaan doonaan.
Drive away the scoffer, that strife may depart, and quarrel, and contempt may cease.
11 Kii daahirsanaanta qalbiga jecel, Oo bushimihiisu nimco leeyihiin, xataa boqorka ayaa saaxiibkiis ahaan doona.
Yahweh loveth the pure in heart, gracious are his lips, his friend is the king!
12 Indhaha Rabbigu waxay dhawraan ka aqoonta leh, Laakiinse isagu wuxuu afgembiyaa erayada khaayinka.
The eyes of Yahweh, watch over knowledge, therefore hath he overturned the words of the treacherous.
13 Kii caajis ahu wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Libaax baa dibadda jooga, Oo jidka dhexdiisa ayaa laygu dili doonaa.
Saith the sluggard, A lion outside! Amidst the broadways, shall I be slain.
14 Naago qalaad afkoodu waa god dheer, Oo waxaa ku dhici doona kii xagga Rabbiga laga nacay.
A deep chasm, is the mouth of strange women, he with whom Yahweh is indignant, falleth there.
15 Nacasnimadu waxay ku xidhan tahay qalbiga ilmaha. Laakiinse usha edbintu way ka fogayn doontaa.
Foolishness, is bound up in the heart of a youth, the rod of correction, shall drive it far from him.
16 Kii miskiinka u dulma inuu maal korodhsado, Iyo kii taajirka wax siiyaaba hubaal way baahnaan doonaan.
He that oppresseth the poor, to make increase for himself, giving to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17 Dhegta u dhig, oo erayada kuwa caqliga leh maqal, Oo qalbigana aqoontayda u jeedi.
Incline thine ear and hear the words of wise men, then, thy heart, wilt thou apply to my teaching;
18 Waayo, waa wax wanaagsan haddii aad uurka ku haysatid, Oo hadday dhammaantood bushimahaaga diyaar ku ahaadaan.
For sweet shall they be, when thou shalt keep them in thine inmost mind, they shall fit well together, upon thy lips.
19 Bal eeg, adigaan maanta iyaga ku ogeysiiyey, Inaad Rabbiga aaminsan tahay.
That in Yahweh may be thy trust, I have made them known to thee to-day, even to thee.
20 Miyaanan waxyaalo wanaagsan kuugu qorin Talooyinka iyo aqoonta,
Have I not written for thee noble things, with counsels and knowledge:
21 Si aan kuu ogeysiiyo hubaasha erayada runta, Inaad erayada runta uga jawaabtid kuwii ku soo diray?
To cause thee to know the meaning of faithful sayings, that thou mayest give back faithful sayings to them who ask thee.
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, neither crush thou the oppressed in the gate;
23 Waayo, Rabbiga ayaa dacwadooda u qaadi doona, Oo kuwa iyaga dhaca naftoodana wuu dhici doonaa.
For, Yahweh, will plead their cause, and will despoil their despoilers of life.
24 Ha la saaxiibin nin xanaaq badan, Oo nin cadho kululna waa inaanad la socon,
Do not have friendship with one given to anger, and, with a wrathful man, shall thou not enter in:
25 Waaba intaas oo aad jidkiisa baratid, Oo aad naftaadana dabin ku riddid.
Lest thou learn his ways, and take a snare to thy soul.
26 Ha noqonin sida kuwa gacanta dhaar ugu dhiiba, Ama sida kuwa deyman u dammiinta.
Be not of them who strike hands, of them who are sureties for debts:
27 Haddaanad haysan wax aad bixiso, Bal muxuu sariirtaada hoostaada uga la bixi?
If thou hast nothing to pay, why should one take away thy bed from under thee?
28 Soohdinta hore oo ay awowayaashu dhigeen Innaba ha durkin.
Do not move back the ancient boundary, which thy father’s made.
29 Miyaad aragtaa nin shuqulkiisa ku dadaala? Isagu wuxuu istaagi doonaa boqorro hortood. Oo kuwa hoose hortoodana ma istaagi doono.
Seest thou a man prompt in his business? before kings, shall he stand, he shall not stand before men who are obscure.
