Maahmaahyadii 1
1 Kuwanu waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer Binu Israa'iil,
Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
2 Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,
to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
3 In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;
to receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness and judgment, and equity;
4 Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.
to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,
He that is wise will hear, and will increase learning; and the intelligent will gain wise counsels:
6 Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.
to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas.
7 Waxaa aqoonta ugu horreeya Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa; Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay quudhsadaan xigmadda iyo edbinta.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
9 Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.
for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not.
11 Hadday kugu yidhaahdaan, Na soo raac, Aan gaadno inaynu dhiig daadinno, Oo aynu sababla'aan kuwa aan eedda lahayn si qarsoon ugu dhuumanno;
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yamayska ku dhaca; (Sheol h7585)
let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; (Sheol h7585)
13 Waxaynu heli doonnaa maal qaali ah oo cayn kasta ah, Oo guryaheennana waxaynu ka buuxsan doonnaa booli;
we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;
cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse:
15 Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;
— my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;
16 Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.
for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
17 Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;
For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings.
18 Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.
And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 Sidaas oo kalay yihiin jidadka mid kasta oo faa'iido u hunguri weyn, Oo nafta ka qaada kuwa leh.
So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors.
20 Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;
Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways;
21 Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,
she calleth in the chief [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words:
22 Kuwiinna garaadlaawayaasha ahow, ilaa goormaad garaadla'aanta sii jeclaanaysaan? Oo kuwa wax quudhsadaana, ilaa goormay quudhsashadooda ku sii farxayaan? Nacasyaduna, ilaa goormay aqoonta sii necbaanayaan?
How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?
23 Canaantayda u soo noqda; Bal eega, anigu waxaan idinku shubi doonaa ruuxayga, Oo waxaan idin ogeysiin doonaa erayadayda.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour forth my spirit unto you, I will make known to you my words.
24 Anigu waan idiin yeedhay, laakiinse waad i diiddeen; Oo anigu gacantaydaan soo fidiyey, oo ninnana dan kama yeelan;
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;
25 Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;
and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;
I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 Markay cabsidiinnu u timaado sida duufaan oo kale, Oo belaayadiinnuna u timaado sida dabayl cirwareen ah; Oo dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi idinku yimaadaan.
when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:
28 Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;
— then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me.
29 Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;
Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah;
30 Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;
they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:
31 Haddaba iyagu waxay cuni doonaan midhihii jidkooda, Oo waxay ka dhergi doonaan taladoodii.
therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.
33 Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil.
