Maahmaahyadii 3
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, waxbariddayda ha illoobin, Laakiin qalbigaagu amarradayda ha hayo,
[My] son, forget not my laws; but let thine heart keep my words:
2 Waayo, iyagu waxay kuu kordhin doonaan Maalmo badan iyo cimri dheer iyo nabad.
for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Naxariista iyo runtu yaanay kaa tegin, Iyaga qoorta ku xidh, Oo looxa qalbigaaga ku qor,
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; but bind them about thy neck:
4 Sidaasaad Ilaah iyo dadka hortooda Nicmo iyo sharaf uga heli doontaa.
so shalt thou find favour: and do thou provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
5 Qalbigaaga dhammaantii Rabbiga ku aamin, Oo waxgarashadaadana ha isku hallayn.
Trust in God with all thine heart; and be not exalted in thine own wisdom.
6 Jidadkaaga oo dhan isaga ku qiro, Oo isna waddooyinkaaguu toosin doonaa.
In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths.
7 Ha isla weynaan; Rabbiga ka cabso; oo sharka ka fogow.
Be not wise in thine own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.
8 Taasu waxay xundhurtaada u noqon doontaa caafimaad, Oo lafahaagana waxay u noqon doontaa dhuux.
Then shall there be health to thy body, and good keeping to thy bones.
9 Rabbiga ku murwee maalkaaga Iyo midhaha ugu horreeya waxa kuu kordha oo dhan;
Honour the Lord with thy just labours, and give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness:
10 Sidaasay maqsinnadaadu barwaaqo uga buuxsami doonaan, Macsarooyinkaaguna waxay la buuxdhaafi doonaan khamri cusub.
that thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that thy presses may burst forth with wine.
11 Wiilkaygiiyow, Rabbiga edbintiisa ha quudhsan, Oo canaantiisana ha ka daalin,
[My] son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
12 Waayo, Rabbigu ninkuu jecel yahay wuu canaantaa Sida aabbe u canaanto wiilkii uu ku faraxsan yahay.
for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.
13 Waxaa barakaysan ninkii xigmadda hela, Iyo ninkii waxgarashada mulkiya.
Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.
14 Waayo, baayacmushtarigeedu waa ka sii wanaagsan yahay baayacmushtariga lacagta, Oo faa'iidadeeduna waa ka sii wanaagsan tahay dahabka saafiga ah.
For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.
15 Way ka sii qaalisan tahay luulka, Oo waxaad jeclaan kartid oo dhanna iyada lalama simo.
And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.
16 Gacanteeda midig waxaa ku jira cimri dheeri; Gacanteeda bidixna waxaa ku jira hodonnimo iyo sharaf.
For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue.
17 Jidadkeedu waa jidad farxadeed, Oo waddooyinkeeda oo dhammuna waa nabad.
Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 Kuwii iyada qabsada waxay u tahay geed nololeed; Oo waxaa barakaysan ku alla kii iyada xajista.
She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is [a] secure [help] to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.
19 Rabbigu wuxuu dhulka ku aasaasay xigmadda, Oo samooyinkana wuxuu ku dhisay waxgarashada.
God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.
20 Aqoontiisa ayaa moolalku ku dillaaceen, Oo cirkuna wuxuu soo daadiyaa sayax.
By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.
21 Wiilkaygiiyow, waxyaalahanu yaanay indhahaaga ka tegin. Xigmadda iyo digtoonaanta xajiso.
[My] son, let [them] not pass from [thee], but keep my counsel and understanding:
22 Sidaasay naftaada nolol ugu noqon doonaan, Qoortaadana nimco.
that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck; and it shall be health to thy flesh, and safety to thy bones:
23 Markaasaad jidkaaga ammaan ku mari doontaa, Oo cagtaaduna ma turunturoon doonto.
that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble.
24 Markaad jiifsatidna ma cabsan doontid; Haah, waad jiifsan doontaa, oo hurdadaaduna way kuu macaanaan doontaa.
For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.
25 Ha ka baqin cabsi kedis ah, Iyo baabbi'inta kuwa sharka leh toona markii ay timaado.
And thou shalt not be afraid of alarm coming upon thee, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.
26 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu kuu ahaan doonaa Kan aad ku kalsoonaan karto. Oo cagtaadana wuu dhawri doonaa si aan loo qabsan.
For the Lord shall be over all thy ways, and shall establish thy foot that thou be not moved.
27 Wanaag ha u diidin kuwa uu ku habboon yahay in loo sameeyo, Markaad awood u leedahay inaad u samayso.
Forbear not to do good to the poor, whensoever thy hand may have [power] to help [him].
28 Deriskaaga ha ku odhan, Tag oo soo noqo, Berri baan ku siin doonaaye, Haddii aad markaas haysid.
Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while thou art able to do [him] good: for thou knowest not what the next day will bring forth.
29 Deriskaaga innaba xumaan ha u fikirin, Maxaa yeelay, isagu nabadgelyo buu kuu ag fadhiyaa.
Devise not evil against thy friend, living near thee and trusting in thee.
30 Ninna sababla'aan ha kula diririn, Haddaanu xumaan kugu samayn.
Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do thee some harm.
31 Ha ka hinaasin nin dadka dulmiya, Oo jidadkiisana midnaba ha dooran.
Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do thou covet their ways.
32 Maxaa yeelay, kuwa qalloocanu waa u karaahiyo Rabbiga, Laakiinse wuxuu sir la leeyahay kuwa qumman.
For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.
33 Rabbigu wuxuu inkaaraa guriga kii shar leh, Laakiinse rugta kuwa xaqa ah wuu barakeeyaa.
The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.
34 Hubaal kuwa wax quudhsada ayuu isagu quudhsadaa, Kuwa is-hoosaysiiyase nicmuu siiyaa.
The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.
35 Kuwa xigmadda leh waxay dhaxli doonaan sharaf, Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay u dallici doonaan ceeb.
The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted [their own] dishonour.
