Maahmaahyadii 5
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, xigmaddayda dhegayso, Oo waxgarashadaydana dhegta u dhig;
My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ears to my understanding,
2 Si aad digtoonaan u dhawrtid, Oo ay bushimahaaguna aqoon u xejiyaan.
so you may learn about discretion and your lips may protect knowledge.
3 Waayo, naagta qalaad bushimaheedu waxay daadiyaan malab, Oo afkeeduna saliid buu ka sii macaan yahay,
For the lips of an adulteress drip with 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 as bitter as wormwood, cutting like a sharp sword.
5 Cagaheedu dhimashay ku dhaadhacaan, Oo tallaabooyinkeeduna waxay u jeedaan xagga She'ool, (Sheol h7585)
Her feet go down to death; her steps go all the way to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
6 Waddada nolosha iyadu aad uguma fiirsato. Jidadkeedu waa leexleexdaan, oo garan kari maysid,
She gives no thought to the path of life. Her footsteps wander; she does not know where she is going.
7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla, Oo erayada afkayga ha ka tegina.
Now, my sons, listen to me; do not turn away from listening to the words of my mouth.
8 Jidkaaga ka fogee iyada, Oo albaabka gurigeeda ha u dhowaan,
Keep your path far away 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,
In that way you will not give away your honor to others or years of your life to a cruel person;
10 Si aan shisheeyayaal maalkaaga uga dhergin; Oo aanay wixii aad u hawshootay guri ajnabi u gelin,
strangers will not feast on your wealth; what you have worked for will not go into the house of strangers.
11 Si aanad ugu dambaysta u barooran, Markay hilibkaaga iyo jidhkaaguba baabba'aan,
At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body waste away.
12 Oo aad tidhaahdaan, Sidee baan edbin u nebcaaday, Oo qalbigayguna canaantii u quudhsaday!
You will say, “How I hated instruction and my heart despised correction!
13 Codkii macallimiintaydii ma aan addeecin, Oo dhegtana uma aan dhigin kuwii wax i baray!
I would not obey my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 Anigu waxaan u dhowaa inaan shar kasta falo Anigoo ku dhex jira shirka iyo ururka.
I was almost completely ruined in the midst of the assembly, among the gathering of the people.”
15 Berkeddaada biyo ka cab, Oo ceelkaagana biyo qulqulaya ka cab.
Drink water from your own cistern and drink running water from your own well.
16 Ma hagaag baa in ilahaagu dibadda u daataan. Oo ay durdurraduna dariiqyada maraan?
Should your springs overflow everywhere and your streams of water flow in the public squares?
17 Iyagu ha ahaadeen kuwaaga oo keliya, Oo yaanay u ahaan shisheeyayaal adiga kula jira.
Let them be for yourself alone and not for strangers with you.
18 Ishaadu ha barakaysnaato, Oo naagtaadii aad yaraanta ku guursatay ku faraxsanow.
May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in 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.
for she is a loving deer and a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you be continually intoxicated by her love.
20 Haddaba wiilkaygiiyow, bal maxaad naag qalaad ugu faraxsanaanaysaa, Maxaadse naag shisheeye ah naasaheeda u qabsanaysaa?
For why should you, my son, be captivated by an adulteress; why should you embrace the breasts of an immoral woman?
21 Waayo, jidadka dadku waxay hor yaalliin indhaha Rabbiga Oo isagaa fiiriya waddooyinkiisa oo dhan.
Yahweh sees everything a person does and watches all the paths he takes.
22 Kan sharka leh waxaa qabsan doonta xumaantiisa, Oo waxaa isaga lagu soo xidhi doonaa xadhkaha dembigiisa.
A wicked person will be seized by his own iniquities; the cords of his sin will hold him tight.
23 Wuxuu u dhiman doonaa edbinla'aanta, Oo isagu wuxuu ku dhex amban doonaa badnaanta nacasnimadiisa.
He will die because he lacks instruction; he is led astray by his great foolishness.
