Maahmaahyadii 9
1 Xigmaddu gurigeeday dhisatay, Toddobadeedii tiirna way xaradhay.
Wisedome hath built her house, and hewen out her seuen pillars.
2 Neefafkeedii ayay qashay, oo waxay isku dartay khamrigeedii; Miiskeediina way diyaarisay.
She hath killed her vitailes, drawen her wine, and prepared her table.
3 Oo gabdhaheedii midiidinnada ahaa ayay dirtay, oo waxay ka qaylinaysaa Magaalada meelaha ugu sarreeya, iyadoo leh,
She hath sent forth her maydens and cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie, saying,
4 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu, halkan ha u soo leexdo. Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, she sayth,
5 Kaalaya oo kibistayda wax ka cuna, Oo khamriga aan isku darayna wax ka cabba.
Come, and eate of my meate, and drinke of the wine that I haue drawen.
6 Garaadlaawayaashow, nacasnimada iska daaya, oo noolaada, Oo jidka waxgarashadana mara.
Forsake your way, ye foolish, and ye shall liue: and walke in the way of vnderstanding.
7 Kii mid wax quudhsada toosiyaa, cay buu isu soo jiidaa, Oo kii kan sharka leh canaantana, ceeb baa ku dhacda.
He that reproueth a scorner, purchaseth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himselfe a blot.
8 Mid wax quudhsada ha canaanan, waaba intaas oo uu ku necbaadaaye, Nin caqli leh canaano, oo isna wuu ku jeclaan doonaa.
Rebuke not a scorner, least he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will loue thee.
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.
Giue admonition to the wise, and he will be the wiser: teache a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 Rabbiga in laga cabsado waa xigmadda bilowgeeda, Oo Kan quduuska ah in la aqoonsadona waa waxgarasho.
The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord, and the knowledge of holy things, is vnderstanding.
11 Waayo, maalmahaagu anigay igu badan doonaan, Oo cimrigaaguna waa sii kordhi doonaa.
For thy dayes shalbe multiplied by me, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe augmented.
12 Haddaad caqli leedahay naftaadaad caqli u leedahay, Laakiinse haddaad wax quudhsato, adiga uun baa waxquudhsashadaada xambaaran doona.
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe, and if thou be a scorner, thou alone shalt suffer.
13 Naagta nacasadda ahu waa qaylo badan tahay, Iyadu way garaaddaran tahay, oo waxba ma taqaan.
A foolish woman is troublesome: she is ignorant, and knoweth nothing.
14 Waayo, waxay fadhiisataa illinka gurigeeda, Oo kursi bay ku fadhiisataa meelaha sarsare ee magaalada,
But she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate in the hie places of the citie,
15 Inay u yeedho kuwa jidka maraya, Iyagoo jidadkooda iska sii soconaya,
To call them that passe by the way, that go right on their way, saying,
16 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu halkan ha u soo leexdo, Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, shee sayth also,
17 Biyo la soo xaday way macaan yihiin. Oo cunto qarsoodi loo cunaana wax bay ka farxisaa.
Stollen waters are sweete, and hid bread is pleasant.
