Maahmaahyadii 9
1 Xigmaddu gurigeeday dhisatay, Toddobadeedii tiirna way xaradhay.
Wisdom hath builded her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars.
2 Neefafkeedii ayay qashay, oo waxay isku dartay khamrigeedii; Miiskeediina way diyaarisay.
She hath killed her fatlings; She hath mingled her wine; Yea, she hath furnished her table.
3 Oo gabdhaheedii midiidinnada ahaa ayay dirtay, oo waxay ka qaylinaysaa Magaalada meelaha ugu sarreeya, iyadoo leh,
She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth aloud 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,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither!” To him that is void of understanding she saith,
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 folly, and live! And go forward 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 who correcteth a scoffer Bringeth shame upon himself; And he who rebuketh the wicked Bringeth upon himself a stain.
8 Mid wax quudhsada ha canaanan, waaba intaas oo uu ku necbaadaaye, Nin caqli leh canaano, oo isna wuu ku jeclaan doonaa.
Rebuke not a scoffer, lest he hate thee; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
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 righteous man, and he will increase his 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 Most Holy is understanding.
11 Waayo, maalmahaagu anigay igu badan doonaan, Oo cimrigaaguna waa sii kordhi doonaa.
Yea, through me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 Haddaad caqli leedahay naftaadaad caqli u leedahay, Laakiinse haddaad wax quudhsato, adiga uun baa waxquudhsashadaada xambaaran doona.
If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou art a scoffer, thou alone must bear it.”
13 Naagta nacasadda ahu waa qaylo badan tahay, Iyadu way garaaddaran tahay, oo waxba ma taqaan.
The foolish woman is clamorous; She is very simple, and careth for nothing.
14 Waayo, waxay fadhiisataa illinka gurigeeda, Oo kursi bay ku fadhiisataa meelaha sarsare ee magaalada,
She sitteth at the door of her house, Upon a seat in the high places of the city,
15 Inay u yeedho kuwa jidka maraya, Iyagoo jidadkooda iska sii soconaya,
To call aloud to those that pass by, Who go straight forward in their ways,
16 Ku alla kii garaaddaranu halkan ha u soo leexdo, Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither!” And to him that is void of understanding she saith,
17 Biyo la soo xaday way macaan yihiin. Oo cunto qarsoodi loo cunaana wax bay ka farxisaa.
“Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
