Maahmaahyadii 24
1 Dad shar leh ha ka masayrin, Hana jeclaysan inaad iyaga la joogtid.
Be thou not envious of bad men, and do not long to be with them.
2 Waayo, qalbigoodu wuxuu ka fikiraa kharribaad, Oo bushimahooduna waxay ku hadlaan belaayo.
For their heart meditateth destruction, and of mischief do their lips speak.
3 Guri wuxuu ku dhismaa xigmad, Wuxuuna ku taagnaadaa waxgarasho,
Through wisdom is a house built; and through understanding is it firmly established;
4 Qawladuhuna aqoontay kaga buuxsamaan Maal kasta oo qaali ah oo qurux badan.
And through knowledge are chambers filled with all manner of precious and pleasant wealth.
5 Ninkii caqli lahu xoog buu leeyahay, Oo ninkii aqoon lahuna itaal buu sii korodhsadaa.
A wise man is [always] in power; and a man of knowledge fortifieth [his] strength.
6 Waayo, waa inaad talo wanaagsan ku dagaallantaa, Oo waxaa taliyayaal badan la jirta nabadgelyo.
For by wise counsel canst thou conduct thy war; and there is help in a multitude of counsellors.
7 Xigmaddu nacaska way ka dheer tahay, Isagu xagga iridda afkiisa kuma kala qaado.
Wisdom is too high for a fool: in the gate can he not open his mouth.
8 Kii ku fikira inuu xumaan sameeyo, Waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa belaayo-sameeye.
Him that deviseth to do evil, men call a master of wicked devices.
9 Fikirka nacasnimadu waa dembi, Kii wax quudhsadaana waa u karaahiyo dadka.
The counsel of folly is sin; and an abomination to men is the scorner.
10 Maalinta dhibaatada haddaad liicdid, Itaalkaagu waa yar yahay.
If thou despond on the day of distress, thy strength is small.
11 Samatabbixi kuwa dhimashada loo wadayo, Kuwa ku dhow in la gowracona dib uga qabo.
Deliver those that are taken unto death, and those that are moved away to the slaughter hold back.
12 Haddaad tidhaahdid, Bal eeg, waxan ma aannu garanayn, Kan qalbiyada miisaamaa miyaanu ka fiirsanayn? Oo kan naftaada dhawraa miyaanu ogayn? Oo miyaanu isagu nin walba ugu abaalgudayn sida shuqulkiisu yahay?
If thou shouldst say, Behold, we know not this man: lo, he that weigheth hearts will truly regard it, and he that keepeth thy soul will surely know it; and he will give a recompense to man according to his doing.
13 Wiilkaygiiyow, malab cun, waayo, wuu wanaagsan yahay, Oo waxaad cuntaa awlallada malabka, taas oo kuu dhadhan macaan.
Eat honey, my son, because it is good; and the fine honey, which is sweet to thy palate:
14 Oo xigmadda aqoonteeduna sidaasoo kalay naftaada u ahaan doontaa, Oo haddaad iyada heshid waxaa jiri doona abaalgud, Oo rajadaaduna ma go'i doonto.
So obtain the knowledge of wisdom for thy soul: when thou hast found her, then shall there be a [happy] future, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
15 Sida nin shar leh, ha u gabban kan xaqa ah gurigiisa, Oo rugtiisa nasashadana ha kharribin.
Lie not in wait, O wicked man! against the dwelling of the righteous; waste not his resting-place;
16 Waayo, nin xaq ahu toddoba goor buu dhacaa, wuuna soo sara kacaa haddana, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh waxaa lagu afgembiyaa belaayo.
For though the righteous were to fall seven times, he will rise up again; but the wicked shall stumble into misfortune.
17 Ha rayrayn markuu cadowgaagu dhaco, Oo qalbigaaguna yaanu farxin markuu turunturoodo,
At the fall of thy enemy do not rejoice; and at his stumbling let not thy heart be glad:
18 Waayo, waaba intaas oo Rabbigu taas arkaa, oo ay shar la ahaato indhihiisa, Oo uu dabadeedna cadhadiisa ka soo celiyaa isaga.
Lest the Lord see it and it be displeasing in his eyes, and he turn away from him his wrath.
19 Xumaanfalayaasha aawadood ha isku dhibin, Kuwa sharka lehna ha ka masayrin,
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious of the wicked;
20 Waayo, kii shar leh abaalgud ma heli doono, Oo laambadda xumaanfalayaashana waa la bakhtiin doonaa.
For there will be no [happy] future for the bad man: the lamp of the wicked will be quenched.
21 Wiilkaygiiyow, Rabbiga iyo boqorkaba ka cabso, Oo ha ku darsamin kuwa isrogrog badan,
My son, fear the Lord and the king: with those that are desirous to change do not mingle thyself;
22 Waayo, belaayadoodu si degdeg ah ayay u soo kici doontaa, Oo bal yaa yaqaan baabbi'inta labadoodaba?
For suddenly will their calamity arise; and who knoweth the ruin of both of them!
23 Oo weliba waxyaalahanuna waa wixii ay kuwa caqliga lahaa yidhaahdeen. In dadka garsooridda loogu kala eexdaa ma wanaagsana.
These things also are for the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
24 Kii kan shar leh ku yidhaahda, Xaq baad tahay, Dadyowga ayaa habaari doona, oo quruumuhuna way karhi doonaan isaga,
Him that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, will the people denounce, him will nations hold accursed;
25 Laakiinse kuwii isaga canaantaa farxad bay yeelan doonaan, Oo dushoodana waxaa ku soo degi doonta barako wanaagsan.
But to those that punish delight shall be given, and upon them shall come the blessing of the good.
26 Kii jawaab qumman ku jawaabaa Bushimuhuu dhunkadaa.
Men will kiss the lips of him that giveth a proper answer.
27 Shuqulkaaga dibadda ku hagaajiso, Oo beerta ku diyaarso, Oo dabadeedna gurigaaga dhiso.
Prepare without thy work, and make it fit in the field for thyself: and afterward build thy house.
28 Deriskaaga sababla'aan markhaati ha ku furin, Oo bushimahaagana ha ku khiyaanayn.
Be not without cause a witness against thy neighbor; for wouldst thou beguile with thy lips?
29 Hana odhan, Wixii uu igu sameeyey oo kale ayaan ku samayn doonaa, Oo ninkii sidii shuqulkiisu ahaa ayaan u abaalmarin doonaa.
Say not, As he hath done to me so will I do to him: I will recompense every man according to his doing.
30 Waxaan ag maray ninka caajiska ah beertiisa, Iyo ninka garaadka daran beercanabkiisa,
By the field of a slothful man I once passed along, and by the vineyard of a man void of sense:
31 Oo bal eeg, kulligood waxaa ka baxay qodxan, Oo dhammaantoodna waxaa qariyey maraboob, Oo derbigoodii dhagaxa ahaana waa dumay.
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, nettles had covered its surface, and its stone-wall was broken down.
32 Markaasaan eegay oo aad uga fiirsaday, Waan fiiriyey oo wax ka bartay.
And when I had indeed beheld [this] I took it to my heart: I saw it, and received a warning.
33 Weliba in yar baad seexanaysaa, oo in yar baad gam'aysaa, Oo in yar baad gacmaha hurdo u laabaysaa,
“A little [more] sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands in lying down;”
34 Haddaba caydhnimo waa kuu iman doontaa sida tuug oo kale, Oo baahina sida nin hub sita oo kale.
But then will thy poverty come like a rover; and thy wants as a man armed with a shield.
