< Proverbs 1 >

1 These are the (proverbs/wise sayings) that come from Solomon, the King of Israel, who was the son of [King] David.
Kuwanu waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer Binu Israa'iil,
2 (These proverbs [PRS] can teach people/By studying these proverbs, people can learn) how to be wise and how to obey what these proverbs teach them. They will [also] help people to understand which teachings are wise.
Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,
3 These proverbs [PRS] will teach you how to discipline/control yourselves, how to conduct your lives, and how to do what is right and just [DOU].
In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;
4 They will show [people] who do not [yet] know much how to do things that are smart. They will show young people how to become wise and how to make good plans/decisions.
Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.
5 Those who are wise should also pay attention [to these proverbs], in order to become more wise, and those who understand [these teachings] will receive good advice/guidance.
Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,
6 Then they will be able to understand the meaning of proverbs and parables/metaphors, these wise sayings and (riddles/sayings that are difficult to understand).
Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.
7 If [you want to be] wise, you must begin by revering Yahweh. [Only] foolish people despise wisdom and good advice/discipline.
Waxaa aqoonta ugu horreeya Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa; Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay quudhsadaan xigmadda iyo edbinta.
8 My son, pay attention to what [I], your father, am teaching you. And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,
9 What we teach you [will make you respected like having] a lovely turban around your head and [like] a [beautiful] necklace to put around your neck.
Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.
10 My son, if sinners tempt/entice you [to do what is wrong], say “No” to them.
Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.
11 They may say, “Come with us! Join us! We will hide and then kill [MTY] someone [who passes by]. We will ambush some helpless/innocent people.
Hadday kugu yidhaahdaan, Na soo raac, Aan gaadno inaynu dhiig daadinno, Oo aynu sababla'aan kuwa aan eedda lahayn si qarsoon ugu dhuumanno;
12 We will kill them [HYP] and get rid of them completely, [just] like [people who are buried in] graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yamayska ku dhaca; (Sheol h7585)
13 And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
Waxaynu heli doonnaa maal qaali ah oo cayn kasta ah, Oo guryaheennana waxaynu ka buuxsan doonnaa booli;
14 [So], come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;
15 My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;
16 They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder [MTY] people.
Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.
17 It is useless to put out a (trap/net to catch a bird) because when a bird sees it, [it stays away from it].
Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;
18 But those wicked people are not like the birds, [because they do not realize] that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.
19 That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things [by violently attacking others]. They will only destroy themselves!
Sidaas oo kalay yihiin jidadka mid kasta oo faa'iido u hunguri weyn, Oo nafta ka qaada kuwa leh.
20 Wisdom [PRS] shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the (plazas/town squares).
Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;
21 Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,
22 [Wisdom says], “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things [RHQ]? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that [RHQ]? How long will you foolish people refuse to know [what things are right] [RHQ]?
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?
23 If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
Canaantayda u soo noqda; Bal eega, anigu waxaan idinku shubi doonaa ruuxayga, Oo waxaan idin ogeysiin doonaa erayadayda.
24 But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.
Anigu waan idiin yeedhay, laakiinse waad i diiddeen; Oo anigu gacantaydaan soo fidiyey, oo ninnana dan kama yeelan;
25 I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.
Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;
26 So [now], when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.
Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;
27 When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when [all kinds of things] distress you and give you trouble, [I will ridicule you!]
Markay cabsidiinnu u timaado sida duufaan oo kale, Oo belaayadiinnuna u timaado sida dabayl cirwareen ah; Oo dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi idinku yimaadaan.
28 [Wisdom also says], “When foolish people call to me [to help them], I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;
29 They refused to know [what things are right], and they decided not to revere Yahweh.
Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;
30 They would not accept my advice, and they did not pay attention when I tried to correct them.
Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;
31 So they will endure what will result [MET, DOU] from the evil way they have lived/behaved and the evil things they have planned to do.
Haddaba iyagu waxay cuni doonaan midhihii jidkooda, Oo waxay ka dhergi doonaan taladoodii.
32 Those who turn away from me are stupid/foolish; they will die because of doing that.
Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.
33 But those who pay attention to me will live peacefully and safely, and they will not be afraid that something will harm them.”
Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
