Sabuurradii 49
1 Dadyowga oo dhammow, bal tan maqla, Dunida kuwiinna degganow, kulligiin dhegta u dhiga,
Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
2 Kuwiinna hoose iyo kuwiinna sare, Taajirrada iyo masaakiintoy, dhammaantiin wada maqla.
both low and high, rich and poor together.
3 Afkaygu wuxuu ku hadli doonaa xigmad, Qalbigayguna wuxuu ka fikiri doonaa waxgarasho.
My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.
4 Dhegtayda waxaan u dhigi doonaa masaal, Xujadaydana waxaan ku muujin doonaa kataaradda.
I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.
5 Haddaba bal maxaan u cabsanayaa wakhtiga shar jiro, Markii xumaanu cedhbahayga ku wareegsanto?
Why should I fear in the days of evil, when depravity (moral evil) at my heels surrounds me?
6 Kuwa maalkooda isku halleeya, Oo ku faana hodantinimadooda faraha badan,
Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
7 Midkoodna walaalkiis ma furan karo, Daraaddiisna Ilaah madaxfurasho uma siin karo,
none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
8 (Waayo, furashada naftoodu waa qaali aad iyo aad, Kumana filna weligeedba, )
For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9 Inuu isagu weligiis sii noolaado, Oo aanu halligaad arkin weligiis.
That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
10 Waayo, isagu wuxuu arkaa inay dadka xigmadda lahu wada dhintaan, Iyo in nacasyada iyo doqonnaduba ay wada baabba'aan, Oo ay maalkooda kuwa kale uga tagaan.
For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Waxay ismoodsiiyaan inay guryahoodu weligoodba sii jirayaan, Iyo in meelaha rugtooda ahu ay sii raagayaan tan iyo qarniyada oo dhan, Oo dhulalkoodana way isku magacaabaan.
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
12 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu sharaf kuma waaro, Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
But man, despite his riches, does not endure. He is like the animals that perish.
13 Jidkoodanu waa kalsoonidooda nacasnimada ah, Laakiinse dadka iyaga ka dambeeya ayaa hadalkoodii u boga. (Selaah)
This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
14 Iyagu waxaa weeye adhi She'ool loo wado, Oo waxaa sida adhijir u ahaan doona dhimasho, Oo kuwa qumman ayaa iyaga subaxda u talin doona, Oo quruxdoodana waxaa baabbi'in doona She'ool, inaanay iyagu rug yeelan innaba. (Sheol h7585)
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol ·Place of the dead·. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol ·Place of the dead·, far from their mansion. (Sheol h7585)
15 Laakiinse Ilaah naftayda wuu ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'ool, Waayo, wuu i aqbali doonaa. (Selaah) (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol ·Place of the dead·, for he will receive me. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ha baqin markii mid taajiroobo, Oo ammaanta reerkiisu aad u korodho,
Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.
17 Waayo, isagu markuu dhinto waxba sii qaadan maayo, Oo ammaantiisuna ka daba geli mayso.
For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.
18 In kastoo uu naftiisa u duceeyey markuu noolaa, Oo dad adiga ku ammaana, kolkaad wax wanaagsan isu samaysid,
Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you when you do well for yourself—
19 Isagu wuxuu u tegi doonaa qarniyadii awowayaashiis, Oo iyana weligood iftiinka ma ay arki doonaan.
he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
20 Ninkii sharaf leh oo aan garaad lahaynu Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
