Maahmaahyadii 5
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, xigmaddayda dhegayso, Oo waxgarashadaydana dhegta u dhig;
My son, attend to my wisdom. Incline thine ear to my understanding,
2 Si aad digtoonaan u dhawrtid, Oo ay bushimahaaguna aqoon u xejiyaan.
that thou may preserve discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 Waayo, naagta qalaad bushimaheedu waxay daadiyaan malab, Oo afkeeduna saliid buu ka sii macaan yahay,
For the lips of an interloping woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 Laakiinse aakhirkeedu wuxuu u qadhaadh yahay sida geed dacareed oo kale, Wuuna af badan yahay sida seef laba af leh.
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Cagaheedu dhimashay ku dhaadhacaan, Oo tallaabooyinkeeduna waxay u jeedaan xagga She'ool, (Sheol h7585)
Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold on Sheol, (Sheol h7585)
6 Waddada nolosha iyadu aad uguma fiirsato. Jidadkeedu waa leexleexdaan, oo garan kari maysid,
so that she does not find the level path of life. Her ways are unstable, and she does not know.
7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla, Oo erayada afkayga ha ka tegina.
Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Jidkaaga ka fogee iyada, Oo albaabka gurigeeda ha u dhowaan,
Remove thy way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,
9 Si aanad sharaftaada kuwa kale u siin, Oo aanad sannadahaaga kuwa caloosha adag u siin,
lest thou give thine honor to others, and thy years to the cruel,
10 Si aan shisheeyayaal maalkaaga uga dhergin; Oo aanay wixii aad u hawshootay guri ajnabi u gelin,
lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labors be in the house of an alien,
11 Si aanad ugu dambaysta u barooran, Markay hilibkaaga iyo jidhkaaguba baabba'aan,
and thou mourn at thy latter end when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 Oo aad tidhaahdaan, Sidee baan edbin u nebcaaday, Oo qalbigayguna canaantii u quudhsaday!
and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.
13 Codkii macallimiintaydii ma aan addeecin, Oo dhegtana uma aan dhigin kuwii wax i baray!
Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 Anigu waxaan u dhowaa inaan shar kasta falo Anigoo ku dhex jira shirka iyo ururka.
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the assembly and congregation.
15 Berkeddaada biyo ka cab, Oo ceelkaagana biyo qulqulaya ka cab.
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Ma hagaag baa in ilahaagu dibadda u daataan. Oo ay durdurraduna dariiqyada maraan?
Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and streams of water in the streets?
17 Iyagu ha ahaadeen kuwaaga oo keliya, Oo yaanay u ahaan shisheeyayaal adiga kula jira.
Let them be for thyself alone, and not for strangers with thee.
18 Ishaadu ha barakaysnaato, Oo naagtaadii aad yaraanta ku guursatay ku faraxsanow.
Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of thy youth:
19 Iyadu ha kuu ahaato sida deerada jacaylka badan iyo sida cawsha quruxsan, Goor walbana naasaheedu ha ku deeqeen Oo had iyo goorna jacaylkeeda ku faraxsanow.
a loving hind and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love.
20 Haddaba wiilkaygiiyow, bal maxaad naag qalaad ugu faraxsanaanaysaa, Maxaadse naag shisheeye ah naasaheeda u qabsanaysaa?
For why should thou, my son, be ravished with an interloping woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 Waayo, jidadka dadku waxay hor yaalliin indhaha Rabbiga Oo isagaa fiiriya waddooyinkiisa oo dhan.
For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and he makes level all his paths.
22 Kan sharka leh waxaa qabsan doonta xumaantiisa, Oo waxaa isaga lagu soo xidhi doonaa xadhkaha dembigiisa.
His own iniquities shall take a wicked man, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
23 Wuxuu u dhiman doonaa edbinla'aanta, Oo isagu wuxuu ku dhex amban doonaa badnaanta nacasnimadiisa.
He shall die for lack of instruction. And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
