Maahmaahyadii 8
1 Haddaba xigmaddu sow ma dhawaaqin? Waxgarashaduna codkeedii sow kor uma qaadin?
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 Waxay taagan tahay meelaha sarreeya Oo jidka agtiisa ah, meesha waddooyinku ku kulmaan.
She standeth on the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 Oo waxay ka qaylisaa irdaha agtooda, Meesha magaalada laga soo galo, Iyo meesha albaabbada laga soo galoba.
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors.
4 Nimanyahow, idinkaan idiin dhawaaqayaa, Oo codkayguna wuxuu u yeedhayaa binu-aadmiga.
To you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.
5 Garaadlaawayaashow, miyir lahaada, Nacasyadoy, waxgarasho qalbiga ku haysta.
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 I maqla, waayo, waxaan ku hadlayaa waxyaalo wanaagsan, Oo waxaan bushimaha u kala qaadayaa waxyaalo qumman.
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.
7 Maxaa yeelay, afkaygu run buu ku hadlayaa; Oo bushimahayguna shar bay karhaan.
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.
8 Erayada afkayga oo dhammi waa xaq, Oo innaba wax qalloocan ama maroorsan lagama helo.
All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 Iyagu dhammaantood waa u cad yihiin kii wax garanaya, Oo waana u qumman yihiin kuwa aqoonta hela.
They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Edbintayda qaata, lacagse ha qaadanina, Oo aqoontana ka hor doorta dahabka saafiga ah.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice 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 rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 Anigoo xigmad ahu, waxaan la fadhiyaa miyir, Oo waxaan helaa aqoon iyo digtoonaan.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of ingenious inventions.
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 [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Talo iyo xigmad anigaa iska leh, Oo waxaan ahay waxgarasho, xoogna waan leeyahay.
Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.
15 Boqorradu gacantayday wax ku xukumaan, Oo amiirraduna amarkaygay garta ku gooyaan.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 Taliyayaasha iyo saraakiisha iyo weliba xaakinnada dunida oo dhammuna Anigay wax iigu taliyaan.
By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.
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 those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Anigaa iska leh taajirnimo iyo sharaf. Iyo weliba maal raagaya iyo xaqnimoba.
Riches and honor [are] with me; durable riches and righteousness.
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.
My fruit [is] better than gold, yes, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 Anigu waxaan ku socdaa jidka xaqnimada, Iyo waddooyinka garta dhexdooda,
I lead in the way of righteousness, 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 cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will 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 way, before his works of old.
23 Aniga aakhirada hore waa lay taagay, waxaan jiray bilowgii ugu horreeyey, Ama intaan dunidu jirin ka hor.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 Anigu waxaan dhashay intaan moolal jirin ka hor, Iyo intaanay jirin ilo biyo ka buuxaan.
When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.
25 Intaan la qotomin buuraha Iyo kuraha ka hor ayaan anigu dhashay,
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.
26 Intaanuu isagu samayn dhulka iyo berrimmada, Amase ciiddii dunida ugu horraysay.
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 Markuu samooyinka hagaajiyey anigu waan joogay, Markuu xariijinta ku wareejiyey moolka dushiisa,
When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 Markuu cirka sare taagay, Markii ilaha moolku xoog yeesheen,
When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 Markuu badda xad u yeelay Si aan biyuhu amarkiisa ugu xadgudbin, Markuu aasaaskii dhulka dhigay,
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed 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;
Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Waxaan ku rayrayn jiray inta dhulkiisa la degay, Oo waxaan ku farxi jiray binu-aadmiga.
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.
32 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla; Waayo, waxaa barakaysan kuwa jidadkayga xajiya.
Now therefore hearken to me, O ye children: for 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, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 Waayo, ku alla kii i helaa wuxuu helaa nolol, Oo Rabbiguna raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa.
For whoever findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor from the LORD.
36 Laakiinse kii igu dembaabaa naftiisuu wax yeelaa, Kuwa aniga i neceb oo dhammu waxay jecel yihiin dhimasho.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
