Maahmaahyadii 9
1 Xigmaddu gurigeeday dhisatay, Toddobadeedii tiirna way xaradhay.
Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
2 Neefafkeedii ayay qashay, oo waxay isku dartay khamrigeedii; Miiskeediina way diyaarisay.
She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
3 Oo gabdhaheedii midiidinnada ahaa ayay dirtay, oo waxay ka qaylinaysaa Magaalada meelaha ugu sarreeya, iyadoo leh,
She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
4 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu, halkan ha u soo leexdo. Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
5 Kaalaya oo kibistayda wax ka cuna, Oo khamriga aan isku darayna wax ka cabba.
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Garaadlaawayaashow, nacasnimada iska daaya, oo noolaada, Oo jidka waxgarashadana mara.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go 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 that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
8 Mid wax quudhsada ha canaanan, waaba intaas oo uu ku necbaadaaye, Nin caqli leh canaano, oo isna wuu ku jeclaan doonaa.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he 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.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just 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 fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 Waayo, maalmahaagu anigay igu badan doonaan, Oo cimrigaaguna waa sii kordhi doonaa.
For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
12 Haddaad caqli leedahay naftaadaad caqli u leedahay, Laakiinse haddaad wax quudhsato, adiga uun baa waxquudhsashadaada xambaaran doona.
If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
13 Naagta nacasadda ahu waa qaylo badan tahay, Iyadu way garaaddaran tahay, oo waxba ma taqaan.
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
14 Waayo, waxay fadhiisataa illinka gurigeeda, Oo kursi bay ku fadhiisataa meelaha sarsare ee magaalada,
For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 Inay u yeedho kuwa jidka maraya, Iyagoo jidadkooda iska sii soconaya,
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu halkan ha u soo leexdo, Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
17 Biyo la soo xaday way macaan yihiin. Oo cunto qarsoodi loo cunaana wax bay ka farxisaa.
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
