Maahmaahyadii 5
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, xigmaddayda dhegayso, Oo waxgarashadaydana dhegta u dhig;
My son, pay attention to my wisdom, and incline your ear to my prudence,
2 Si aad digtoonaan u dhawrtid, Oo ay bushimahaaguna aqoon u xejiyaan.
so that you may guard your thinking, and so that your lips may preserve discipline. Do not pay attention to the deceit of a woman.
3 Waayo, naagta qalaad bushimaheedu waxay daadiyaan malab, Oo afkeeduna saliid buu ka sii macaan yahay,
For the lips of a loose woman are like a dripping honeycomb, and her voice 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 as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Cagaheedu dhimashay ku dhaadhacaan, Oo tallaabooyinkeeduna waxay u jeedaan xagga She'ool, (Sheol h7585)
Her feet descend into death, and her steps reach even to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
6 Waddada nolosha iyadu aad uguma fiirsato. Jidadkeedu waa leexleexdaan, oo garan kari maysid,
They do not walk along the path of life; her steps are wandering and untraceable.
7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla, Oo erayada afkayga ha ka tegina.
Therefore, my son, listen to me now, and do not withdraw from the words of my mouth.
8 Jidkaaga ka fogee iyada, Oo albaabka gurigeeda ha u dhowaan,
Make your way at a distance from her, and do not approach the doors of her house.
9 Si aanad sharaftaada kuwa kale u siin, Oo aanad sannadahaaga kuwa caloosha adag u siin,
Do not give your honor to foreigners, and your years to the cruel.
10 Si aan shisheeyayaal maalkaaga uga dhergin; Oo aanay wixii aad u hawshootay guri ajnabi u gelin,
Otherwise, outsiders may be filled with your strength, and your labors may be in a foreign house,
11 Si aanad ugu dambaysta u barooran, Markay hilibkaaga iyo jidhkaaguba baabba'aan,
and you may mourn in the end, when you will have consumed your flesh and your body. And so you may say:
12 Oo aad tidhaahdaan, Sidee baan edbin u nebcaaday, Oo qalbigayguna canaantii u quudhsaday!
“Why have I detested discipline, and why has my heart not been quieted by correction?
13 Codkii macallimiintaydii ma aan addeecin, Oo dhegtana uma aan dhigin kuwii wax i baray!
And why have I not listened to the voice of those who guided me? And why has my ear not inclined to my teachers?
14 Anigu waxaan u dhowaa inaan shar kasta falo Anigoo ku dhex jira shirka iyo ururka.
I have almost been with all evil in the midst of the church and of the assembly.”
15 Berkeddaada biyo ka cab, Oo ceelkaagana biyo qulqulaya ka cab.
Drink water from your own cistern and from the springs of your own well.
16 Ma hagaag baa in ilahaagu dibadda u daataan. Oo ay durdurraduna dariiqyada maraan?
Let your fountains be diverted far and wide, and divide your waters in the streets.
17 Iyagu ha ahaadeen kuwaaga oo keliya, Oo yaanay u ahaan shisheeyayaal adiga kula jira.
Hold them for yourself alone, and do not let strangers be partakers with you.
18 Ishaadu ha barakaysnaato, Oo naagtaadii aad yaraanta ku guursatay ku faraxsanow.
Let your spring be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your 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 beloved doe and most pleasing fawn. Let her breasts inebriate you at all times. Be delighted continually by her love.
20 Haddaba wiilkaygiiyow, bal maxaad naag qalaad ugu faraxsanaanaysaa, Maxaadse naag shisheeye ah naasaheeda u qabsanaysaa?
Why are you seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and why are you kept warm by the bosom of another?
21 Waayo, jidadka dadku waxay hor yaalliin indhaha Rabbiga Oo isagaa fiiriya waddooyinkiisa oo dhan.
The Lord beholds the ways of man, and he considers all his steps.
22 Kan sharka leh waxaa qabsan doonta xumaantiisa, Oo waxaa isaga lagu soo xidhi doonaa xadhkaha dembigiisa.
His own iniquities take hold of the impious, and he is bound by the cords of his own sins.
23 Wuxuu u dhiman doonaa edbinla'aanta, Oo isagu wuxuu ku dhex amban doonaa badnaanta nacasnimadiisa.
He shall die, for he has not held to discipline. And by the multitude of his foolishness, he shall be deceived.
