Maahmaahyadii 3
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, waxbariddayda ha illoobin, Laakiin qalbigaagu amarradayda ha hayo,
My son, do not forget my law, but let thy heart keep my commandments.
2 Waayo, iyagu waxay kuu kordhin doonaan Maalmo badan iyo cimri dheer iyo nabad.
For length of days, and years of life, and peace, they will add to thee.
3 Naxariista iyo runtu yaanay kaa tegin, Iyaga qoorta ku xidh, Oo looxa qalbigaaga ku qor,
Let not kindness and truth forsake thee. Bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart,
4 Sidaasaad Ilaah iyo dadka hortooda Nicmo iyo sharaf uga heli doontaa.
so thou shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Qalbigaaga dhammaantii Rabbiga ku aamin, Oo waxgarashadaadana ha isku hallayn.
Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.
6 Jidadkaaga oo dhan isaga ku qiro, Oo isna waddooyinkaaguu toosin doonaa.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths.
7 Ha isla weynaan; Rabbiga ka cabso; oo sharka ka fogow.
Be not wise in thine own eyes. Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil.
8 Taasu waxay xundhurtaada u noqon doontaa caafimaad, Oo lafahaagana waxay u noqon doontaa dhuux.
It will be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Rabbiga ku murwee maalkaaga Iyo midhaha ugu horreeya waxa kuu kordha oo dhan;
Honor Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase,
10 Sidaasay maqsinnadaadu barwaaqo uga buuxsami doonaan, Macsarooyinkaaguna waxay la buuxdhaafi doonaan khamri cusub.
so thy barns shall be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
11 Wiilkaygiiyow, Rabbiga edbintiisa ha quudhsan, Oo canaantiisana ha ka daalin,
My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah, nor be weary of his reproof.
12 Waayo, Rabbigu ninkuu jecel yahay wuu canaantaa Sida aabbe u canaanto wiilkii uu ku faraxsan yahay.
For whom Jehovah loves he reproves, and he whips every son whom he receives.
13 Waxaa barakaysan ninkii xigmadda hela, Iyo ninkii waxgarashada mulkiya.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.
14 Waayo, baayacmushtarigeedu waa ka sii wanaagsan yahay baayacmushtariga lacagta, Oo faa'iidadeeduna waa ka sii wanaagsan tahay dahabka saafiga ah.
For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold.
15 Way ka sii qaalisan tahay luulka, Oo waxaad jeclaan kartid oo dhanna iyada lalama simo.
She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things thou can desire are to be compared to her.
16 Gacanteeda midig waxaa ku jira cimri dheeri; Gacanteeda bidixna waxaa ku jira hodonnimo iyo sharaf.
Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Jidadkeedu waa jidad farxadeed, Oo waddooyinkeeda oo dhammuna waa nabad.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 Kuwii iyada qabsada waxay u tahay geed nololeed; Oo waxaa barakaysan ku alla kii iyada xajista.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her.
19 Rabbigu wuxuu dhulka ku aasaasay xigmadda, Oo samooyinkana wuxuu ku dhisay waxgarashada.
Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding he established the heavens.
20 Aqoontiisa ayaa moolalku ku dillaaceen, Oo cirkuna wuxuu soo daadiyaa sayax.
By his knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21 Wiilkaygiiyow, waxyaalahanu yaanay indhahaaga ka tegin. Xigmadda iyo digtoonaanta xajiso.
My son, let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 Sidaasay naftaada nolol ugu noqon doonaan, Qoortaadana nimco.
so they shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Markaasaad jidkaaga ammaan ku mari doontaa, Oo cagtaaduna ma turunturoon doonto.
Then thou shall walk in thy way securely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 Markaad jiifsatidna ma cabsan doontid; Haah, waad jiifsan doontaa, oo hurdadaaduna way kuu macaanaan doontaa.
When thou lie down, thou shall not be afraid. Yea, thou shall lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Ha ka baqin cabsi kedis ah, Iyo baabbi'inta kuwa sharka leh toona markii ay timaado.
Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
26 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu kuu ahaan doonaa Kan aad ku kalsoonaan karto. Oo cagtaadana wuu dhawri doonaa si aan loo qabsan.
For Jehovah will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Wanaag ha u diidin kuwa uu ku habboon yahay in loo sameeyo, Markaad awood u leedahay inaad u samayso.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.
28 Deriskaaga ha ku odhan, Tag oo soo noqo, Berri baan ku siin doonaaye, Haddii aad markaas haysid.
Do not say to thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give, when thou have it by thee.
29 Deriskaaga innaba xumaan ha u fikirin, Maxaa yeelay, isagu nabadgelyo buu kuu ag fadhiyaa.
Do not devise evil against thy neighbor, since he dwells securely by thee.
30 Ninna sababla'aan ha kula diririn, Haddaanu xumaan kugu samayn.
Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.
31 Ha ka hinaasin nin dadka dulmiya, Oo jidadkiisana midnaba ha dooran.
Do not envy thou the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.
32 Maxaa yeelay, kuwa qalloocanu waa u karaahiyo Rabbiga, Laakiinse wuxuu sir la leeyahay kuwa qumman.
For the perverse man is an abomination to Jehovah, but his friendship is with the upright.
33 Rabbigu wuxuu inkaaraa guriga kii shar leh, Laakiinse rugta kuwa xaqa ah wuu barakeeyaa.
The curse of Jehovah is in the house of a wicked man, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 Hubaal kuwa wax quudhsada ayuu isagu quudhsadaa, Kuwa is-hoosaysiiyase nicmuu siiyaa.
Surely the Lord is opposed to the arrogant, but he gives grace to the lowly.
35 Kuwa xigmadda leh waxay dhaxli doonaan sharaf, Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay u dallici doonaan ceeb.
The wise shall inherit glory, but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
