Maahmaahyadii 31
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii Lemuu'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Masaa ay hooyadiis bartay isaga.
These are the words of King Lemuel—the burden that his mother taught him:
2 Waa maxay, wiilkaygiiyow? Waa maxay, wiilkii uurkaygow? Waa maxay, wiilkii nidarradaydow?
What shall I say, O my son? What, O son of my womb? What, O son of my vows?
3 Xooggaaga naago ha siinin, Dawyadaadana ha siinin kuwa boqorrada dumiya.
Do not spend your strength on women or your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 Lemuu'eelow, uma eka boqorrada, uma eka boqorradu inay khamri cabbaan, Oo amiirradana uma eka inay waxa lagu sakhraamo damcaan,
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,
5 Waaba intaasoo ay cabbaan, oo ay sharciga illoobaan, Oo ay kuwa dhibaataysan midkood gartiisa qalloociyaan.
lest they drink and forget what is decreed, depriving all the oppressed of justice.
6 Waxa lagu sakhraamo siiya ka dhimashada ku dhow, Oo khamrigana waxaad siisaan kuwa naftoodu la qadhaadhaatay.
Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to the bitter in soul.
7 Ha cabbo, oo caydhnimadiisa ha illoobo, Oo dhibaatadiisana yaanu mar dambe soo xusuusan innaba.
Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Afka u fur carrablaawaha aawadiis, Si aad kuwa baabba'aya oo dhan u xaq mariso.
Open your mouth for those with no voice, for the cause of all the dispossessed.
9 Afka fur, oo si xaq ah u garsoor, Oo miskiinka iyo saboolka baahanba gartooda u qaad.
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.
10 Bal yaa heli kara naag wanaagsan? Waayo, qiimaheedu waa ka sii badan yahay xataa luul.
A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies.
11 Waayo, qalbiga ninkeedu iyaduu isku halleeyaa, Oo isagu innaba uma baahnaan doono wax booli ah.
The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he lacks nothing of value.
12 Cimrigeeda oo dhan isaga wanaag bay u samayn doontaa, Oo innaba xumaan kuma samayn doonto.
She brings him good and not harm all the days of her life.
13 Waxay doondoontaa dhogor idaad iyo geed linen la yidhaahdo. Oo iyadoo raalli ku ah ayay gacmaheeda ku shaqaysaa.
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 Iyadu waa sida doonniyaha baayacmushtariga, Oo cuntadeeda waxay ka keentaa meel fog.
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 Waxay kacdaa iyadoo weli ay habeennimo tahay, Oo dadka reerkeeda ayay cunto siisaa, Oo gabdhaheedana hawshooday siisaa,
She rises while it is still night to provide food for her household and portions for her maidservants.
16 Iyadu waxay ka fikirtaa beer, wayna soo iibsataa, Oo midhaha gacmaheeda ayay beercanab ku beerataa.
She appraises a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 Waxay dhexda ku xidhataa xoog, Oo gacmaheedana way xoogaysaa.
She girds herself with strength and shows that her arms are strong.
18 Waxay eegtaa in baayacmushtarigeedu wanaagsan yahay; Laambaddeeduna habeenkii ma bakhtido.
She sees that her gain is good, and her lamp is not extinguished at night.
19 Waxay gacmaheeda ku fidisaa dunmiiqa, Oo sacabbadeeduna waxay qabtaan usha wareegta.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 Waxay sacabkeeda u furtaa miskiinka, Oo gacmaheedana waxay u fidisaa saboolka baahan.
She opens her arms to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 Dadka reerkeeda ugama cabsato dhaxanta barafka cad, Waayo, xaaskeeda oo dhammu waxay wada qabaan dhar labanlaab ah.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household, for they are all clothed in scarlet.
22 Waxay samaysataa durraaxado daabac leh, Oo dharkeeduna waxaa weeye dhar aad u wanaagsan oo guduudan.
She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Ninkeedana waxaa laga yaqaan irdaha magaalada, Markuu dhex fadhiisto waayeellada waddanka.
Her husband is known at the city gate, where he sits among the elders of the land.
24 Waxay samaysaa dhar wanaagsan, wayna iibisaa, Oo baayacmushtarigana waxay ka iibisaa boqorro dhexda lagu xidho.
She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchants.
25 Xoog iyo sharaf ayaa iyada dhar u ah; Oo wakhtiga soo socda way ku qososhaa.
Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the days to come.
26 Afkeeda waxay u kala qaaddaa xigmad; Oo carrabkeedana waxaa saaran sharciga raxmadda.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 Waxay aad u xannaanaysaa reerkeeda, Oo kibista caajisnimadana ma cunto.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Carruurteedu way kacaan oo waxay ugu yeedhaan tan barakaysan, Oo weliba ninkeeduna wuu ammaanaa, isagoo leh;
Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband praises her as well:
29 Dumar badan baa wanaag sameeyey, Laakiinse adigu waad ka sii wanaagsan tahay dhammaantood.
“Many daughters have done noble things, but you surpass them all!”
30 Suuradwacnaantu waa khiyaano miidhan, oo quruxduna waa ceeryaamo oo kale, Laakiinse naagtii Rabbiga ka cabsata waa la ammaani doonaa.
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Midhihii gacmaheeda wax ka siiya, Oo shuqulladeeduna iyada ha ku ammaaneen irdaha magaalada.
Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her at the gates.
