Maahmaahyadii 6
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad deriskaaga dammiin u noqotid, Ama haddaad shisheeye gacanta dhaar ugu dhiibtid,
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
2 Markaas waxaa lagugu dabay erayada afkaaga, Oo waxaa lagugu qabtay erayada afkaaga.
if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3 Haddaba, wiilkaygiiyow, bal waxan samee oo isa samatabbixi, Waayo, gacantii deriskaagii waad gashay; U tag, oo is-hoosaysii, oo deriskaaga bari.
then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.
4 Indhahaaga hurdo ha isugu keenin, Oo indhahaaga daboolkoodana lulo ha isugu qaban.
Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
5 Isu samatabbixi sida cawl gacanta ugaadhsadaha uga baxsato, Iyo sida shimbir gacanta shimbirdabaha uga baxsato.
Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 Kaaga caajiska ahow, bal qudhaanjada u tag, Oo bal jidadkeeda u fiirso oo caqli yeelo,
Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
7 Iyadoo aan lahayn madaxweyne, Sirkaal iyo taliye toona,
Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,
8 Ayay guga cuntadeeda soo diyaarsataa, Oo quudkeedana waxay soo urursataa wakhtiga beeraha la goosto.
it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.
9 Haddaba kaaga caajiska ahow, ilaa goormaad hurdaysaa? Goormaadse hurdadaada ka toosaysaa?
How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 Weliba, in yar baad seexataa, in yar baad lulootaa, Oo in yar baad gacmaha hurdo aawadeed u laabataa,
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 Hadda caydhinimadaadu waxay u iman doontaa sida mid dad dhaca, Oo baahidaaduna waxay u iman doontaa sida nin hub wata.
and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
12 Qofkii waxmatare ah, iyo ninkii sharrow ahuba, Wuxuu ku socdaa af qalloocan;
A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
13 Indhihiisuu ku baaqaa, oo cagihiisuu ku hadlaa, Oo faruhuu wax ku baraa;
winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.
14 Qalbigiisa qalloocnaan baa ku jirta, had iyo goorna wuxuu ku fikiraa shar, Oo wuxuu beeraa muran.
With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.
15 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed masiibadiisu degdeg bay u iman doontaa, Oo dhaqso buu u jabi doonaa, dawona ma leh.
Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.
16 Waxaa jira lix waxyaalood oo uu Rabbigu neceb yahay, Haah, toddoba ayaa naftiisu aad u karahdaa,
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
17 Waana indho kibir badan, carrab been sheega, Iyo gacmo dhiig aan eed lahayn daadiya,
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 Qalbi male shar ah hindisa, Iyo cago xumaan ku degdega,
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
19 Markhaati been ah oo been sheega, Iyo kii muran dad walaalo ah ku dhex beera.
a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.
20 Wiilkaygiiyow, qaynuunka aabbahaa xaji, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin.
My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
21 Had iyo goorba qalbiga ku sido, Oo qoortana ku xidho.
Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.
22 Markaad socotid wuu ku hoggaamin doonaa, Oo markaad seexatidna wuu ku dhawri doonaa, Markaad toostidna wuu kula hadli doonaa.
When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 Waayo, qaynuunku waa laambad, amarkuna waa iftiin, Oo canaanashada edbintuna waa jidkii nolosha,
For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
24 Inay kaa dhawraan naagta sharka ah, Iyo sasabashada carrabka naagta qalaad.
to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25 Quruxdeeda qalbigaaga ha ka damcin, Oo yaanay indhaheeda daboolkooda kugu sasaban.
Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 Waayo, naag dhillo ah aawadeed waxaa nin la gaadhsiiyaa go' kibis ah, Oo dhilladuna waxay ugaadhsataa nafta qaaligaa.
For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
27 Miyuu nin laabta dab ku qaadi karaa, Iyadoo aan dharkiisu guban?
Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
28 Miyuu mid dhuxul kulul ku kor socon karaa, Iyadoo aan cagihiisu guban?
Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
29 Haddaba sidaas oo kaluu noqdaa kii naagta deriskiisa u tagaa, Oo ku alla kii iyada taabtaaba ma taqsiir la'aan doono.
So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 Dadku tuug ma quudhsadaan hadduu wax xado Inuu naftiisa dhergiyo markuu gaajoodo,
Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger.
31 Laakiinse haddii isaga la qabto waa inuu toddoba jibbaar u magdhabaa, Waa inuu ku bixiyaa waxa gurigiisa yaal oo dhan.
Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.
32 Kii naag ka sinaystaa wuu caqli daranyahay, Oo kii sidaas yeelaa naftiisuu halligaa.
He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
33 Oo wuxuu heli doonaa dhaawacyo iyo sharafdarro; Oo ceebtiisana lama tirtiri doono innaba.
Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
34 Waayo, hinaaso waa nin cadhadiis. Maalinta aarsashadana isagu ma tudhi doono.
For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.
35 Isagu innaba mag kaa qaadan maayo, oo sinaba kuula heshiin maayo, In kastoo aad hadiyado badan siisid.
He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
