Maahmaahyadii 30
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii Aaguur ina Yaaqeh, oo ahaa reer Masaa. Ninku wuxuu la hadlay Iitii'eel, iyo xataa Iitii'eel iyo Ukaal, oo ku yidhi,
The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
2 Hubaal anigu waan ka doqonnimo weynahay nin kastaba, Oo dad waxgarashadiisana ma lihi.
I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
3 Xigmad ma aan baran, Aqoonta Kan quduuska ahna ma aqaan.
I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
4 Yaa samada u baxay, oo ka soo degay? Yaa dabaysha gacmihiisa ku soo ururshay? Yaa biyaha dharkiisa ku guntay? Yaa dhulka darafyadiisa oo dhan dhisay? Magicii, wiilkiisana magicii, haddaad taqaan?
Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
5 Eray kasta oo Ilaah waa daahir; Oo isagu wuxuu gaashaan u yahay kuwa isaga aaminsan.
Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
6 Erayadiisa waxba ha ku darin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku canaantaa, oo lagu ogaadaa inaad beenaaleh tahay.
Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
7 Laba waxyaalood ayaan ku weyddiistay, Iyaga ha ii diidin intaanan dhiman.
Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
8 Wax aan waxtar lahayn iyo been iga fogee, Oo caydhnimo iyo taajirnimo midna ha i siin. Igu quudi cunto aanan ka maarmin,
Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
9 Waaba intaasoo intaan dhergo, aan adiga ku inkiraaye, oo aan idhaahdaa, Waa ayo Rabbigu? Amase waaba intaasoo aan miskiin noqdaa, oo intaan wax xado, Aan magaca Ilaahayga si been ah ugu hadal qaadaaye.
Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
10 Addoon sayidkiisa xan ha uga sheegin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku habaaraa, oo eed lagugu helaaye.
Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
11 Waxaa jira farcan aabbahood inkaara, Oo aan hooyadoodna u ducayn.
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12 Waxaa jira farcan isla daahirsan, Oo weliba aan nijaastoodii ka maydhmin.
A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13 Waxaa jira farcan indhahoodu aad u sarreeyaan! Oo daboolka indhahoodana kor bay u qaadaan.
A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
14 Waxaa jira farcan ilkahoodu sida seefo oo kale yihiin, oo gowsahooduna sida mindiyo oo kale yihiin, Si ay masaakiinta dhulka uga baabbi'iyaan, oo ay kuwa baahanna dadka dhexdiisa uga dhammeeyaan.
A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
15 Culaacushu waxay leedahay laba gabdhood, oo leh, Na sii, Na sii. Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo aan weligood dhergin, Haah, oo afar aan odhan, Bes, nagu filan;
The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
16 Waxaana weeye qabriga, iyo maxalka aan wax dhalayn, Iyo dhulka aan biyo ka dhergayn, Iyo dabka aan odhan, Bes, igu filan. (Sheol h7585)
Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 Isha aabbaheed ku majaajiloota, Oo quudhsata inay hooyadeed addeecdo, Waxaa la soo bixi doona tukayaasha dooxada, Oo waxaa cuni doona gorgorrada.
The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
18 Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo anigu aan aad ula yaabo, Haah, afar baan garan waayay,
Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
19 Oo iyana waxaa weeye siduu gorgor hawada u duulo, Siduu masna dhagax ugu socdo, Siday doonnina badda u maaxdo, Iyo siduu nin gabadh ula macaamiloodo.
The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.
20 Sidaas oo kale waxaa ah naag dhillo ah sideeda, Taasoo intay wax cunto afka tirtirta, Oo haddana tidhaahda, Anigu waxba xumaan ma aan samayn.
Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
21 Saddex waxyaalood ayaa dhulku la gariiraa, Oo afar baanu qaadan karin,
By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
22 Waxaana weeye addoon markuu boqor noqdo, Iyo nacas markuu cunto ka dhergo,
By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
23 Iyo naag la nacay markay guursato, Iyo gabadh addoon ahu markay sayidaddeedii meesheeda gasho.
By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
24 Waxaa jira afar waxyaalood oo dhulka ku yaryar, Laakiinse aad iyo aad u caqli badan.
There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25 Qudhaanjadu waa sida dad aan xoog badnayn, Laakiinse waxay cuntadooda soo diyaarsadaan guga.
The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26 Walooyinku waa qoon taagdaran, Oo haddana waxay guryahooda ka samaystaan dhagaxyada dhexdooda;
The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27 Ayaxu boqor ma leh, Weliba dhammaantood guuto guuto ayay u socdaan.
The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
28 Qorratadu waa wax gacanta lagu qaban karo, Weliba waxay joogtaa guryaha boqorrada.
The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
29 Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo si fiican u socda, Haah, oo afar waa socod wanaagsan yihiin.
There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30 Aar libaax oo ah kan xayawaanka ugu xoogga badan, Oo aan weliba midna dib uga noqon,
A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31 Diiqa xarragoonaya, iyo orgiga; Iyo boqorka aanay dadku gees ka ahayn.
A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32 Haddaad nacasnimo samaysay adoo isa sarraysiinaya, Ama aad wax shar ah ka fikirtay, Gacanta afka saar.
There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
33 Waayo, caanihii la lulaa subag bay soo saaraan, Sankii la maroojiyaana dhiig buu keenaa, Sidaas oo kalena cadhadii la qasbaa dirir bay keentaa.
And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
