Maahmaahyadii 31
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii Lemuu'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Masaa ay hooyadiis bartay isaga.
The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
2 Waa maxay, wiilkaygiiyow? Waa maxay, wiilkii uurkaygow? Waa maxay, wiilkii nidarradaydow?
"Oh, my son. Oh, son of my womb. Oh, son of my vows.
3 Xooggaaga naago ha siinin, Dawyadaadana ha siinin kuwa boqorrada dumiya.
Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys 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 princes to take strong drink,
5 Waaba intaasoo ay cabbaan, oo ay sharciga illoobaan, Oo ay kuwa dhibaataysan midkood gartiisa qalloociyaan.
lest they drink, and forget the decree, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Waxa lagu sakhraamo siiya ka dhimashada ku dhow, Oo khamrigana waxaad siisaan kuwa naftoodu la qadhaadhaatay.
Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; 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 the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
9 Afka fur, oo si xaq ah u garsoor, Oo miskiinka iyo saboolka baahanba gartooda u qaad.
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."
10 Bal yaa heli kara naag wanaagsan? Waayo, qiimaheedu waa ka sii badan yahay xataa luul.
Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above 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. He shall have no lack of gain.
12 Cimrigeeda oo dhan isaga wanaag bay u samayn doontaa, Oo innaba xumaan kuma samayn doonto.
She does 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 seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
14 Iyadu waa sida doonniyaha baayacmushtariga, Oo cuntadeeda waxay ka keentaa meel fog.
She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
15 Waxay kacdaa iyadoo weli ay habeennimo tahay, Oo dadka reerkeeda ayay cunto siisaa, Oo gabdhaheedana hawshooday siisaa,
She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
16 Iyadu waxay ka fikirtaa beer, wayna soo iibsataa, Oo midhaha gacmaheeda ayay beercanab ku beerataa.
She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
17 Waxay dhexda ku xidhataa xoog, Oo gacmaheedana way xoogaysaa.
She girds her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
18 Waxay eegtaa in baayacmushtarigeedu wanaagsan yahay; Laambaddeeduna habeenkii ma bakhtido.
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
19 Waxay gacmaheeda ku fidisaa dunmiiqa, Oo sacabbadeeduna waxay qabtaan usha wareegta.
She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20 Waxay sacabkeeda u furtaa miskiinka, Oo gacmaheedana waxay u fidisaa saboolka baahan.
She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
21 Dadka reerkeeda ugama cabsato dhaxanta barafka cad, Waayo, xaaskeeda oo dhammu waxay wada qabaan dhar labanlaab ah.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 Waxay samaysataa durraaxado daabac leh, Oo dharkeeduna waxaa weeye dhar aad u wanaagsan oo guduudan.
She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Ninkeedana waxaa laga yaqaan irdaha magaalada, Markuu dhex fadhiisto waayeellada waddanka.
Her husband is respected in the gates, when 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, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Xoog iyo sharaf ayaa iyada dhar u ah; Oo wakhtiga soo socda way ku qososhaa.
Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
26 Afkeeda waxay u kala qaaddaa xigmad; Oo carrabkeedana waxaa saaran sharciga raxmadda.
She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 Waxay aad u xannaanaysaa reerkeeda, Oo kibista caajisnimadana ma cunto.
She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't 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 also praises her:
29 Dumar badan baa wanaag sameeyey, Laakiinse adigu waad ka sii wanaagsan tahay dhammaantood.
"Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."
30 Suuradwacnaantu waa khiyaano miidhan, oo quruxduna waa ceeryaamo oo kale, Laakiinse naagtii Rabbiga ka cabsata waa la ammaani doonaa.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Jehovah, she shall be praised.
31 Midhihii gacmaheeda wax ka siiya, Oo shuqulladeeduna iyada ha ku ammaaneen irdaha magaalada.
Give her of the fruit of her hands. Let her works praise her in the gates.
