Maahmaahyadii 9
1 Xigmaddu gurigeeday dhisatay, Toddobadeedii tiirna way xaradhay.
Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars.
2 Neefafkeedii ayay qashay, oo waxay isku dartay khamrigeedii; Miiskeediina way diyaarisay.
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
3 Oo gabdhaheedii midiidinnada ahaa ayay dirtay, oo waxay ka qaylinaysaa Magaalada meelaha ugu sarreeya, iyadoo leh,
She has sent out her maidservants; she calls out from the heights of the city.
4 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu, halkan ha u soo leexdo. Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.
5 Kaalaya oo kibistayda wax ka cuna, Oo khamriga aan isku darayna wax ka cabba.
“Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Garaadlaawayaashow, nacasnimada iska daaya, oo noolaada, Oo jidka waxgarashadana mara.
Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
7 Kii mid wax quudhsada toosiyaa, cay buu isu soo jiidaa, Oo kii kan sharka leh canaantana, ceeb baa ku dhacda.
He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself.
8 Mid wax quudhsada ha canaanan, waaba intaas oo uu ku necbaadaaye, Nin caqli leh canaano, oo isna wuu ku jeclaan doonaa.
Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Nin caqli leh wax bar, oo isna caqli wuu sii yeelan doonaa. Nin xaq ah wax bar, oo isna waxbarasho wuu sii korodhsan doonaa.
Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.
10 Rabbiga in laga cabsado waa xigmadda bilowgeeda, Oo Kan quduuska ah in la aqoonsadona waa waxgarasho.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 Waayo, maalmahaagu anigay igu badan doonaan, Oo cimrigaaguna waa sii kordhi doonaa.
For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
12 Haddaad caqli leedahay naftaadaad caqli u leedahay, Laakiinse haddaad wax quudhsato, adiga uun baa waxquudhsashadaada xambaaran doona.
If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage; but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences.
13 Naagta nacasadda ahu waa qaylo badan tahay, Iyadu way garaaddaran tahay, oo waxba ma taqaan.
The woman named Folly is loud; she is naive and knows nothing.
14 Waayo, waxay fadhiisataa illinka gurigeeda, Oo kursi bay ku fadhiisataa meelaha sarsare ee magaalada,
She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the heights of the city,
15 Inay u yeedho kuwa jidka maraya, Iyagoo jidadkooda iska sii soconaya,
calling out to those who pass by, who make their paths straight.
16 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu halkan ha u soo leexdo, Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.
17 Biyo la soo xaday way macaan yihiin. Oo cunto qarsoodi loo cunaana wax bay ka farxisaa.
“Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is tasty!”
