Maahmaahyadii 2
1 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad erayadayda aqbashid, Oo aad amarradayda qalbigaaga ku haysatid,
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 Si aad dhegta xigmadda ugu dhigtid, Oo aad qalbigaagana waxgarashada ugu qabatid;
make your ears pay attention to wisdom and incline your heart to understanding.
3 Haddaad wax-kala-garashada ka daba qaylisid, Oo aad codkaaga waxgarashada kor ugu qaaddid;
If you cry out for understanding and raise your voice for it,
4 Haddaad iyada u raadisid sida lacagta oo kale, Oo aad u doondoontid sida maal qarsoon,
if you seek it like you would seek silver and search for understanding as you would seek hidden treasures,
5 Markaas waxaad garan doontaa Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa, Oo waxaad heli doontaa aqoonta Ilaah.
then you will understand the fear of Yahweh and you will find the knowledge of God.
6 Waayo, Rabbigu isagaa bixiya xigmadda, Oo afkiisa waxaa ka soo baxa aqoonta iyo waxgarashada.
For Yahweh gives wisdom, from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 Isagu kuwa xaqa ah xigmad buu u kaydiyaa, Oo kuwa daacadnimada u socdana waa u gaashaan.
He stores up sound wisdom for those who please him, he is a shield for those who walk in integrity,
8 Isagu wuxuu dhawraa waddooyinka garta, Oo wuxuu xannaaneeyaa jidka quduusiintiisa.
he guards the paths of justice and he will preserve the way of those who are faithful to him.
9 Markaasaad garan doontaa xaqnimada, iyo garta, Iyo caaddilnimada, iyo jid kasta oo wanaagsan.
Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and equity, and every good path.
10 Waayo, waxaa qalbigaaga soo geli doonta xigmadda, Oo aqoontuna waxay ka farxin doontaa naftaada;
For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Digtoonaanta baa ku xanaanayn doonta, Oo waxaa ku dhawri doonta waxgarashada,
Discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you.
12 Si lagaaga samatabbixiyo jidka kan sharka ah, Iyo dadka waxyaalaha qalloocan ku hadla,
They will rescue you from the way of evil, from those who speak perverse things,
13 Oo qummanaanta waddooyinkeeda ka taga, Si ay jidadka gudcurka ugu socdaan,
who abandon the right paths and walk in the ways of darkness.
14 Oo ay ku reyreeyaan inay xumaan falaan, Oo ay qalloocnaanta kan sharkaa ku farxaan;
They rejoice when they do evil and delight in the perversities of evil.
15 Oo jidadkoodu maroorsan yihiin, Oo waddooyinkooduna qalloocan yihiin,
They follow crooked paths, and using deception they hide their tracks.
16 In lagaa samatabbixiyo naagta qalaad, Xataa naagta qalaad oo hadalladeeda kugu sasabata,
Wisdom and discretion will save you from an adulterous woman, from an immoral woman and her flattering words.
17 Taasoo ka tagta horseedkii yaraanteeda, Oo illowda axdigii Ilaaheeda;
She forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.
18 Waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku foororaa dhimasho, Oo waddooyinkeeduna waxay ku dhaadhacaan kuwii dhintay.
For her house leads down to death and her tracks will lead you to those in the grave.
19 Kuwa iyada u gala midkoodna sooma noqdo, Oo waddooyinka noloshana ma ay helaan.
All who go in to her will not return again and they will not find the paths of life.
20 Waa inaad ku socotid jidka dadka wanaagsan, Oo aad dhawrtid waddooyinka kuwa xaqa ah.
So you will walk in the way of good people and follow the paths of righteous people.
21 Waayo, kuwa qummanu dhulkay fadhiyi doonaan, Oo kuwa kaamilka ahuna way sii joogi doonaan.
For those doing right will make a home in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it.
22 Laakiinse kuwa sharkaa waa laga gooyn doonaa dhulka, Oo khaayinnadana waa laga rujin doonaa.
But the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the faithless will be cut off from it.
