1 M y son, if you have become security for your neighbor, if you have given your pledge for a stranger or another,

Wiilkaygiiyow, haddaad deriskaaga dammiin u noqotid, Ama haddaad shisheeye gacanta dhaar ugu dhiibtid,

2 Y ou are snared with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth.

Markaas waxaa lagugu dabay erayada afkaaga, Oo waxaa lagugu qabtay erayada afkaaga.

3 D o this now, my son, and deliver yourself when you have put yourself into the power of your neighbor; go, bestir and humble yourself, and beg your neighbor.

Haddaba, wiilkaygiiyow, bal waxan samee oo isa samatabbixi, Waayo, gacantii deriskaagii waad gashay; U tag, oo is-hoosaysii, oo deriskaaga bari.

4 G ive not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;

Indhahaaga hurdo ha isugu keenin, Oo indhahaaga daboolkoodana lulo ha isugu qaban.

5 D eliver yourself, as a roe or gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Isu samatabbixi sida cawl gacanta ugaadhsadaha uga baxsato, Iyo sida shimbir gacanta shimbirdabaha uga baxsato.

6 G o to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise!—

Kaaga caajiska ahow, bal qudhaanjada u tag, Oo bal jidadkeeda u fiirso oo caqli yeelo,

7 W hich, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

Iyadoo aan lahayn madaxweyne, Sirkaal iyo taliye toona,

8 P rovides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest.

Ayay guga cuntadeeda soo diyaarsataa, Oo quudkeedana waxay soo urursataa wakhtiga beeraha la goosto.

9 H ow long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

Haddaba kaaga caajiska ahow, ilaa goormaad hurdaysaa? Goormaadse hurdadaada ka toosaysaa?

10 Y et a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep—

Weliba, in yar baad seexataa, in yar baad lulootaa, Oo in yar baad gacmaha hurdo aawadeed u laabataa,

11 S o will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels and your want like an armed man.

Hadda caydhinimadaadu waxay u iman doontaa sida mid dad dhaca, Oo baahidaaduna waxay u iman doontaa sida nin hub wata.

12 A worthless person, a wicked man, is he who goes about with a perverse (contrary, wayward) mouth.

Qofkii waxmatare ah, iyo ninkii sharrow ahuba, Wuxuu ku socdaa af qalloocan;

13 H e winks with his eyes, he speaks by shuffling or tapping with his feet, he makes signs and teaches with his fingers.

Indhihiisuu ku baaqaa, oo cagihiisuu ku hadlaa, Oo faruhuu wax ku baraa;

14 W illful and contrary in his heart, he devises trouble, vexation, and evil continually; he lets loose discord and sows it.

Qalbigiisa qalloocnaan baa ku jirta, had iyo goorna wuxuu ku fikiraa shar, Oo wuxuu beeraa muran.

15 T herefore upon him shall the crushing weight of calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken, and that without remedy.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed masiibadiisu degdeg bay u iman doontaa, Oo dhaqso buu u jabi doonaa, dawona ma leh.

16 T hese six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him:

Waxaa jira lix waxyaalood oo uu Rabbigu neceb yahay, Haah, toddoba ayaa naftiisu aad u karahdaa,

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Waana indho kibir badan, carrab been sheega, Iyo gacmo dhiig aan eed lahayn daadiya,

18 A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans, feet that are swift in running to evil,

Qalbi male shar ah hindisa, Iyo cago xumaan ku degdega,

19 A false witness who breathes out lies, and he who sows discord among his brethren.

Markhaati been ah oo been sheega, Iyo kii muran dad walaalo ah ku dhex beera. Digniin Ku Saabsan Sinada

20 M y son, keep your father’s commandment and forsake not the law of your mother.

Wiilkaygiiyow, qaynuunka aabbahaa xaji, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin.

21 B ind them continually upon your heart and tie them about your neck.

Had iyo goorba qalbiga ku sido, Oo qoortana ku xidho.

22 W hen you go, they shall lead you; when you sleep, they shall keep you; and when you waken, they shall talk with you.

Markaad socotid wuu ku hoggaamin doonaa, Oo markaad seexatidna wuu ku dhawri doonaa, Markaad toostidna wuu kula hadli doonaa.

23 F or the commandment is a lamp, and the whole teaching is light, and reproofs of discipline are the way of life,

Waayo, qaynuunku waa laambad, amarkuna waa iftiin, Oo canaanashada edbintuna waa jidkii nolosha,

24 T o keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a loose woman.

Inay kaa dhawraan naagta sharka ah, Iyo sasabashada carrabka naagta qalaad.

25 L ust not after her beauty in your heart, neither let her capture you with her eyelids.

Quruxdeeda qalbigaaga ha ka damcin, Oo yaanay indhaheeda daboolkooda kugu sasaban.

26 F or on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread, and the adulteress stalks and snares the precious life.

Waayo, naag dhillo ah aawadeed waxaa nin la gaadhsiiyaa go' kibis ah, Oo dhilladuna waxay ugaadhsataa nafta qaaligaa.

27 C an a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?

Miyuu nin laabta dab ku qaadi karaa, Iyadoo aan dharkiisu guban?

28 C an one go upon hot coals and his feet not be burned?

Miyuu mid dhuxul kulul ku kor socon karaa, Iyadoo aan cagihiisu guban?

29 S o he who cohabits with his neighbor’s wife; he who touches her shall not be innocent or go unpunished.

Haddaba sidaas oo kaluu noqdaa kii naagta deriskiisa u tagaa, Oo ku alla kii iyada taabtaaba ma taqsiir la'aan doono.

30 M en do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;

Dadku tuug ma quudhsadaan hadduu wax xado Inuu naftiisa dhergiyo markuu gaajoodo,

31 B ut if he is found out, he must restore seven times; he must give the whole substance of his house.

Laakiinse haddii isaga la qabto waa inuu toddoba jibbaar u magdhabaa, Waa inuu ku bixiyaa waxa gurigiisa yaal oo dhan.

32 B ut whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks heart and understanding (moral principle and prudence); he who does it is destroying his own life.

Kii naag ka sinaystaa wuu caqli daranyahay, Oo kii sidaas yeelaa naftiisuu halligaa.

33 W ounds and disgrace will he get, and his reproach will not be wiped away.

Oo wuxuu heli doonaa dhaawacyo iyo sharafdarro; Oo ceebtiisana lama tirtiri doono innaba.

34 F or jealousy makes man furious; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

Waayo, hinaaso waa nin cadhadiis. Maalinta aarsashadana isagu ma tudhi doono.

35 H e will not consider any ransom; neither will he be satisfied, though you offer him many gifts and bribes.

Isagu innaba mag kaa qaadan maayo, oo sinaba kuula heshiin maayo, In kastoo aad hadiyado badan siisid.
