Maahmaahyadii 6
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad deriskaaga dammiin u noqotid, Ama haddaad shisheeye gacanta dhaar ugu dhiibtid,
My son, if thou have become surety for thy neighbour, —have struck for a stranger thy hands,
2 Markaas waxaa lagugu dabay erayada afkaaga, Oo waxaa lagugu qabtay erayada afkaaga.
Thou hast been snared by the sayings of thy mouth, —thou hast been caught by the sayings of thy mouth.
3 Haddaba, wiilkaygiiyow, bal waxan samee oo isa samatabbixi, Waayo, gacantii deriskaagii waad gashay; U tag, oo is-hoosaysii, oo deriskaaga bari.
Do this then, my son, and deliver thyself, When thou hast come into the hand of thy neighbour, Go, haste thee, and urge thy neighbour;
4 Indhahaaga hurdo ha isugu keenin, Oo indhahaaga daboolkoodana lulo ha isugu qaban.
Do not give sleep to thine eyes, or slumber to thine eyelashes;
5 Isu samatabbixi sida cawl gacanta ugaadhsadaha uga baxsato, Iyo sida shimbir gacanta shimbirdabaha uga baxsato.
Deliver thyself, as a gazelle out of the hand, and as a bird, out of the hand of the fowler.
6 Kaaga caajiska ahow, bal qudhaanjada u tag, Oo bal jidadkeeda u fiirso oo caqli yeelo,
Go to the ant, thou sluggard, observe her ways, and be wise;
7 Iyadoo aan lahayn madaxweyne, Sirkaal iyo taliye toona,
Which, having no harvest, scribe, or ruler,
8 Ayay guga cuntadeeda soo diyaarsataa, Oo quudkeedana waxay soo urursataa wakhtiga beeraha la goosto.
Prepareth, in the summer, her food, hath collected, in the harvest, her sustenance.
9 Haddaba kaaga caajiska ahow, ilaa goormaad hurdaysaa? Goormaadse hurdadaada ka toosaysaa?
How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie? how long ere thou rise from thy 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.
So shall come in, as a highwayman, thy poverty, and, thy want, as one armed with a shield.
12 Qofkii waxmatare ah, iyo ninkii sharrow ahuba, Wuxuu ku socdaa af qalloocan;
An abandoned man, a man of iniquity, [is he] who—goeth on in perversity of mouth;
13 Indhihiisuu ku baaqaa, oo cagihiisuu ku hadlaa, Oo faruhuu wax ku baraa;
Winketh with his eyes, speaketh with his foot, pointeth with his fingers;
14 Qalbigiisa qalloocnaan baa ku jirta, had iyo goorna wuxuu ku fikiraa shar, Oo wuxuu beeraa muran.
[Hath] perverse things in his heart, deviseth mischief on every occasion, strifes, he sendeth forth.
15 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed masiibadiisu degdeg bay u iman doontaa, Oo dhaqso buu u jabi doonaa, dawona ma leh.
For this cause, suddenly cometh his doom, in a moment, shall he be torn in pieces and there be no mending.
16 Waxaa jira lix waxyaalood oo uu Rabbigu neceb yahay, Haah, toddoba ayaa naftiisu aad u karahdaa,
These six things, doth Yahweh hate, yea, seven, are the abomination of his soul: —
17 Waana indho kibir badan, carrab been sheega, Iyo gacmo dhiig aan eed lahayn daadiya,
Eyes that are lofty, a tongue that is false, and hands shedding innocent blood;
18 Qalbi male shar ah hindisa, Iyo cago xumaan ku degdega,
A heart contriving iniquitous devices, feet hasting to run into mischief;
19 Markhaati been ah oo been sheega, Iyo kii muran dad walaalo ah ku dhex beera.
One that uttereth lies—a false witness, and one sending forth strifes between brethren.
20 Wiilkaygiiyow, qaynuunka aabbahaa xaji, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin.
Observe thou, my son, the commandment of thy father, and do not decline from the instruction of thy mother:
21 Had iyo goorba qalbiga ku sido, Oo qoortana ku xidho.
Bind them upon thy heart continually, fasten them upon thy neck;
22 Markaad socotid wuu ku hoggaamin doonaa, Oo markaad seexatidna wuu ku dhawri doonaa, Markaad toostidna wuu kula hadli doonaa.
When thou walkest abroad, it shall guide thee, when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee, when thou wakest, it shall speak to thee:
23 Waayo, qaynuunku waa laambad, amarkuna waa iftiin, Oo canaanashada edbintuna waa jidkii nolosha,
For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction:
24 Inay kaa dhawraan naagta sharka ah, Iyo sasabashada carrabka naagta qalaad.
To keep thee from the wicked woman, from the flattery of the tongue of her that is a stranger.
25 Quruxdeeda qalbigaaga ha ka damcin, Oo yaanay indhaheeda daboolkooda kugu sasaban.
Do not covet her beauty, in thy heart, neither let her take thee, by her eyelashes;
26 Waayo, naag dhillo ah aawadeed waxaa nin la gaadhsiiyaa go' kibis ah, Oo dhilladuna waxay ugaadhsataa nafta qaaligaa.
Because, for the sake of an impure woman, [a man may be brought] even to a cake of bread, —and, a man’s wife, for a precious soul, may hunt!
27 Miyuu nin laabta dab ku qaadi karaa, Iyadoo aan dharkiisu guban?
Can a man snatch up fire in his bosom, and, his clothes, not be burned?
28 Miyuu mid dhuxul kulul ku kor socon karaa, Iyadoo aan cagihiisu guban?
Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and, his feet, not be burned?
29 Haddaba sidaas oo kaluu noqdaa kii naagta deriskiisa u tagaa, Oo ku alla kii iyada taabtaaba ma taqsiir la'aan doono.
So, he that goeth in unto his neighbour’s wife, no man shall be guiltless who toucheth her!
30 Dadku tuug ma quudhsadaan hadduu wax xado Inuu naftiisa dhergiyo markuu gaajoodo,
Men despise not a thief, when he stealeth, to satisfy his appetite, because he is famished;
31 Laakiinse haddii isaga la qabto waa inuu toddoba jibbaar u magdhabaa, Waa inuu ku bixiyaa waxa gurigiisa yaal oo dhan.
Yet, if found, he must pay back sevenfold, All the substance of his house, must he give:
32 Kii naag ka sinaystaa wuu caqli daranyahay, Oo kii sidaas yeelaa naftiisuu halligaa.
He that committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh sense, A destroyer of his own life, is he that doeth it;
33 Oo wuxuu heli doonaa dhaawacyo iyo sharafdarro; Oo ceebtiisana lama tirtiri doono innaba.
Smiting and shame, shall he find, and, his reproach, shall not be wiped out;
34 Waayo, hinaaso waa nin cadhadiis. Maalinta aarsashadana isagu ma tudhi doono.
For, jealousy, is the rage of a man, nor will he spare, in the day of avenging;
35 Isagu innaba mag kaa qaadan maayo, oo sinaba kuula heshiin maayo, In kastoo aad hadiyado badan siisid.
He will not look, at any ransom, neither will he consent, though thou increase the bribe.
