Maahmaahyadii 23
1 Markaad u fadhiisatid inaad taliye wax la cuntid, Aad uga fiirso waxa hortaada yaal,
When thou sittest to eate with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee,
2 Oo mindi cunaha iska saar Haddaad tahay nin hunguri weyn.
And put the knife to thy throte, if thou be a man giuen to the appetite.
3 Cuntadiisa macaan ha damcin, Waayo, waa cunto khiyaaneed.
Be not desirous of his deintie meates: for it is a deceiuable meate.
4 Ha isku daalin si aad taajir ku noqotid. Oo xigmaddaadana ka joogso.
Trauaile not too much to be rich: but cease from thy wisdome.
5 Ma waxaad indhaha ku dayaysaa wax aan jirin? Waayo, hubaal maalku wuxuu yeeshaa baalal, Sida gorgor samada u duula oo kale.
Wilt thou cast thine eyes vpon it, which is nothing? for riches taketh her to her wings, as an eagle, and flyeth into the heauen.
6 Kan isha sharka leh kibistiisa ha cunin, Cuntadiisa macaanna ha damcin,
Eate thou not the bread of him that hath an euil eye, neither desire his deintie meates.
7 Waayo, isagu waxaa weeye siduu qalbiga kaga fikiro; Wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Cun oo cab, Laakiinse qalbigiisu kulama jiro.
For as though he thought it in his heart, so will hee say vnto thee, Eate and drinke: but his heart is not with thee.
8 Wixii aad cuntay waad soo mantagi doontaa, Oo erayadaadii macaanaana way kaa lumi doonaan.
Thou shalt vomit thy morsels that thou hast eaten, and thou shalt lose thy sweete wordes.
9 Nacas waxba ha kula hadlin, Waayo, isagu xigmadda hadalkaaga wuu quudhsan doonaa.
Speake not in the eares of a foole: for hee will despise the wisdome of thy wordes.
10 Soohdintii hore ha durkin, Beeraha agoommadana ha dhex gelin,
Remooue not the ancient boundes, and enter not into the fieldes of the fatherlesse.
11 Waayo, bixiyahoodu waa xoog badan yahay; Oo isaga ayaa dacwadooda kugu qaadi doona.
For he that redeemeth them, is mightie: he will defend their cause against thee.
12 Qalbigaaga edbinta u jeedi, Oo dhegahana erayada aqoonta.
Apply thine heart to instruction, and thine eares to the wordes of knowledge.
13 Ilmaha edbin ha u diidin, Waayo, haddaad isaga ul ku garaacdid, ma dhiman doono.
Withhold not correction from the childe: if thou smite him with the rodde, he shall not die.
Thou shalt smite him with the rodde, and shalt deliuer his soule from hell. (Sheol h7585)
15 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii qalbigaagu caqli leeyahay, Qalbigayguna wuu farxi doonaa.
My sonne, if thine heart be wise, mine heart shall reioyce, and I also.
16 Haah, oo xataa uurkaygu wuu rayrayn doonaa, Markay bushimahaagu wax qumman ku hadlaan.
And my reynes shall reioyce, when thy lips speake righteous things.
17 Qalbigaagu yaanu dembilayaal ka hinaasin, Laakiinse maalinta oo dhan Rabbiga ka cabso.
Let not thine heart bee enuious against sinners: but let it bee in the feare of the Lord continually.
18 Waayo, hubaal waxaa jira abaalgud, Oo rajadaaduna kaama go'i doonto.
For surely there is an ende, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
19 Wiilkaygiiyow, i maqal, oo caqli yeelo, Oo qalbigaagana jidka ku toosi.
O thou my sonne, heare, and bee wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Ha dhex joogin khamriyacabyada Iyo kuwa hunguriweynaanta hilibka u cuna,
Keepe not company with drunkards, nor with gluttons.
21 Waayo, kii sakhraan ah iyo kii hunguri weynuba way caydhoobi doonaan, Oo lulona nin calal bay u xidhi doontaa.
For the drunkard and the glutton shall bee poore, and the sleeper shalbe clothed with ragges.
22 Dhegayso aabbahaagii ku dhalay, Oo hooyadaana ha quudhsan markay gabowdo.
Obey thy father that hath begotten thee, and despise not thy mother when she is olde.
23 Runta soo iibso, oo ha sii iibin, Oo weliba waxaad ku sii darsataa xigmadda iyo edbinta iyo waxgarashada.
Bye the trueth, but sell it not: likewise wisdome, and instruction, and vnderstanding.
24 Kii xaq ah aabbihiis aad buu u farxi doonaa, Oo kii ilmo caqli leh dhalaana farxad buu ka heli doonaa.
The father of the righteous shall greatly reioyce, and hee that begetteth a wise childe, shall haue ioy of him.
25 Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaaba ha farxeen, Oo tii ku dhashayna ha rayrayso.
Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall reioyce.
26 Wiilkaygiiyow, qalbigaaga i sii, Oo indhahaaguna jidadkayga ha dhawreen.
My sonne, giue mee thine heart, and let thine eyes delite in my wayes.
27 Waayo, dhillo waa booraan dheer, Oo naag qalaadna waa god cidhiidhi ah.
For a whore is as a deepe ditche, and a strange woman is as a narrowe pitte.
28 Sida tuug oo kale ayay u gabbataa, Oo waxay dadka ku dhex badisaa khaayinnada.
Also she lyeth in wait as for a praye, and she increaseth the transgressers among men.
29 Bal yaa hoog leh? Oo yaa caloolxumo leh? Oo yaa murammo leh? Oo yaa calaacal badan leh? Oo yaa u dhaawacan sababla'aan? Oo yaa indho casaan ah leh?
To whome is woe? to whome is sorowe? to whom is strife? to whom is murmuring? to whom are woundes without cause? and to whome is the rednesse of the eyes?
30 Waa kuwa wakhti dheer ku raaga khamriga, Waana kuwa u taga inay doondoontaan khamri laysku daray.
Euen to them that tarie long at the wine, to them that goe, and seeke mixt wine.
31 Ha fiirin khamrigu markuu casaado, Markuu koobka ka dhex dhalaalo, Iyo markuu si wanaagsan u shubmayoba.
Looke not thou vpon the wine, when it is red, and when it sheweth his colour in the cup, or goeth downe pleasantly.
32 Ugu dambaysta wuxuu wax u qaniinaa sida abeesada, Oo sida jilbiskana wax buu u qaniinaa.
In the ende thereof it will bite like a serpent, and hurt like a cockatrise.
33 Indhahaagu waxay arki doonaan naago qalaad, Oo qalbigaaguna wuxuu ku hadli doonaa waxyaalo qalloocan.
Thine eyes shall looke vpon strange women, and thine heart shall speake lewde things.
34 Oo waxaad ahaan doontaa sida kan badda dhexdeeda jiifsada, Ama sida ka dakhalka dhaladiisa sare seexda.
And thou shalt bee as one that sleepeth in the middes of the sea, and as hee that sleepeth in the toppe of the maste.
35 Waxaad odhan doontaa, Wax bay igu dhufteen, laakiin waxba ima yeelin. Way i garaaceen, iskamana aanan garan; Bal goormaan toosi doonaa? Weli mar kalaan doonan doonaa.
They haue stricken mee, shalt thou say, but I was not sicke: they haue beaten mee, but I knew not, when I awoke: therefore will I seeke it yet still.
