Maahmaahyadii 8
1 Haddaba xigmaddu sow ma dhawaaqin? Waxgarashaduna codkeedii sow kor uma qaadin?
Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice?
2 Waxay taagan tahay meelaha sarreeya Oo jidka agtiisa ah, meesha waddooyinku ku kulmaan.
Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.
3 Oo waxay ka qaylisaa irdaha agtooda, Meesha magaalada laga soo galo, Iyo meesha albaabbada laga soo galoba.
Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:
4 Nimanyahow, idinkaan idiin dhawaaqayaa, Oo codkayguna wuxuu u yeedhayaa binu-aadmiga.
O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
5 Garaadlaawayaashow, miyir lahaada, Nacasyadoy, waxgarasho qalbiga ku haysta.
O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.
6 I maqla, waayo, waxaan ku hadlayaa waxyaalo wanaagsan, Oo waxaan bushimaha u kala qaadayaa waxyaalo qumman.
Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.
7 Maxaa yeelay, afkaygu run buu ku hadlayaa; Oo bushimahayguna shar bay karhaan.
My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.
8 Erayada afkayga oo dhammi waa xaq, Oo innaba wax qalloocan ama maroorsan lagama helo.
All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
9 Iyagu dhammaantood waa u cad yihiin kii wax garanaya, Oo waana u qumman yihiin kuwa aqoonta hela.
They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.
10 Edbintayda qaata, lacagse ha qaadanina, Oo aqoontana ka hor doorta dahabka saafiga ah.
Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.
11 Waayo, xigmaddu waa ka sii wanaagsan tahay luulka, Oo wax alla waxa la damci karo oo dhanna iyada lalama simi karo.
For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.
12 Anigoo xigmad ahu, waxaan la fadhiyaa miyir, Oo waxaan helaa aqoon iyo digtoonaan.
I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.
13 Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waa in sharka la naco. Kibirka, iyo madaxweynaanta, iyo jidka sharka, Iyo afka qalloocan ayaan anigu necbahay.
The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
14 Talo iyo xigmad anigaa iska leh, Oo waxaan ahay waxgarasho, xoogna waan leeyahay.
Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.
15 Boqorradu gacantayday wax ku xukumaan, Oo amiirraduna amarkaygay garta ku gooyaan.
By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,
16 Taliyayaasha iyo saraakiisha iyo weliba xaakinnada dunida oo dhammuna Anigay wax iigu taliyaan.
By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.
17 Anigu kuwa i jecel waan jeclahay, Oo kuwa aad iyo aad ii doonaana way i heli doonaan.
I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.
18 Anigaa iska leh taajirnimo iyo sharaf. Iyo weliba maal raagaya iyo xaqnimoba.
With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice.
19 Midhahaygu way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin dahab, haah, oo xataa dahab aad u wanaagsan way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin, Oo waxa ii kordhaana way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin lacag la doortay.
For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.
20 Anigu waxaan ku socdaa jidka xaqnimada, Iyo waddooyinka garta dhexdooda,
I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21 Si aan kuwa i jecel uga dhigo inay maal dhaxlaan, Oo aan khasnadahooda ugu buuxiyo.
That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.
22 Rabbigu wuxuu i lahaan jiray bilowgii jidkiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii hore ka hor.
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
23 Aniga aakhirada hore waa lay taagay, waxaan jiray bilowgii ugu horreeyey, Ama intaan dunidu jirin ka hor.
I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.
24 Anigu waxaan dhashay intaan moolal jirin ka hor, Iyo intaanay jirin ilo biyo ka buuxaan.
The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:
25 Intaan la qotomin buuraha Iyo kuraha ka hor ayaan anigu dhashay,
The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:
26 Intaanuu isagu samayn dhulka iyo berrimmada, Amase ciiddii dunida ugu horraysay.
He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.
27 Markuu samooyinka hagaajiyey anigu waan joogay, Markuu xariijinta ku wareejiyey moolka dushiisa,
When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:
28 Markuu cirka sare taagay, Markii ilaha moolku xoog yeesheen,
When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:
29 Markuu badda xad u yeelay Si aan biyuhu amarkiisa ugu xadgudbin, Markuu aasaaskii dhulka dhigay,
When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;
30 Markaas anigu isagaan dhinac joogay, anigoo ah sidii hawlhoggaamiye, Oo anigu maalin kasta faraxiisaan ahaa, Oo mar kasta hortiisaan ku rayrayn jiray;
I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;
31 Waxaan ku rayrayn jiray inta dhulkiisa la degay, Oo waxaan ku farxi jiray binu-aadmiga.
Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.
32 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla; Waayo, waxaa barakaysan kuwa jidadkayga xajiya.
Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Edbinta dhegaysta, oo caqli yeesha, Oo ha diidina.
Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Waxaa barakaysan ninka i maqla, Oo maalin kasta irdahayga igu dhawra, Oo albaabbadayda igu suga.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.
35 Waayo, ku alla kii i helaa wuxuu helaa nolol, Oo Rabbiguna raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa.
He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
36 Laakiinse kii igu dembaabaa naftiisuu wax yeelaa, Kuwa aniga i neceb oo dhammu waxay jecel yihiin dhimasho.
But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death.
