1 D oes not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice?

Haddaba xigmaddu sow ma dhawaaqin? Waxgarashaduna codkeedii sow kor uma qaadin?

2 O n top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

Waxay taagan tahay meelaha sarreeya Oo jidka agtiisa ah, meesha waddooyinku ku kulmaan.

3 B eside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:

Oo waxay ka qaylisaa irdaha agtooda, Meesha magaalada laga soo galo, Iyo meesha albaabbada laga soo galoba.

4 “ To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men.

Nimanyahow, idinkaan idiin dhawaaqayaa, Oo codkayguna wuxuu u yeedhayaa binu-aadmiga.

5 “ O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom.

Garaadlaawayaashow, miyir lahaada, Nacasyadoy, waxgarasho qalbiga ku haysta.

6 “ Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.

I maqla, waayo, waxaan ku hadlayaa waxyaalo wanaagsan, Oo waxaan bushimaha u kala qaadayaa waxyaalo qumman.

7 “ For my mouth will utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Maxaa yeelay, afkaygu run buu ku hadlayaa; Oo bushimahayguna shar bay karhaan.

8 “ All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.

Erayada afkayga oo dhammi waa xaq, Oo innaba wax qalloocan ama maroorsan lagama helo.

9 “ They are all straightforward to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.

Iyagu dhammaantood waa u cad yihiin kii wax garanaya, Oo waana u qumman yihiin kuwa aqoonta hela.

10 “ Take my instruction and not silver, And knowledge rather than choicest gold.

Edbintayda qaata, lacagse ha qaadanina, Oo aqoontana ka hor doorta dahabka saafiga ah.

11 “ For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her.

Waayo, xigmaddu waa ka sii wanaagsan tahay luulka, Oo wax alla waxa la damci karo oo dhanna iyada lalama simi karo.

12 “ I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And I find knowledge and discretion.

Anigoo xigmad ahu, waxaan la fadhiyaa miyir, Oo waxaan helaa aqoon iyo digtoonaan.

13 “ The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate.

Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisu waa in sharka la naco. Kibirka, iyo madaxweynaanta, iyo jidka sharka, Iyo afka qalloocan ayaan anigu necbahay.

14 “ Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.

Talo iyo xigmad anigaa iska leh, Oo waxaan ahay waxgarasho, xoogna waan leeyahay.

15 “ By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.

Boqorradu gacantayday wax ku xukumaan, Oo amiirraduna amarkaygay garta ku gooyaan.

16 “ By me princes rule, and nobles, All who judge rightly.

Taliyayaasha iyo saraakiisha iyo weliba xaakinnada dunida oo dhammuna Anigay wax iigu taliyaan.

17 “ I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me.

Anigu kuwa i jecel waan jeclahay, Oo kuwa aad iyo aad ii doonaana way i heli doonaan.

18 “ Riches and honor are with me, Enduring wealth and righteousness.

Anigaa iska leh taajirnimo iyo sharaf. Iyo weliba maal raagaya iyo xaqnimoba.

19 “ My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold, And my yield better than choicest silver.

Midhahaygu way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin dahab, haah, oo xataa dahab aad u wanaagsan way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin, Oo waxa ii kordhaana way ka sii wanaagsan yihiin lacag la doortay.

20 “ I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,

Anigu waxaan ku socdaa jidka xaqnimada, Iyo waddooyinka garta dhexdooda,

21 T o endow those who love me with wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.

Si aan kuwa i jecel uga dhigo inay maal dhaxlaan, Oo aan khasnadahooda ugu buuxiyo.

22 “ The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.

Rabbigu wuxuu i lahaan jiray bilowgii jidkiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii hore ka hor.

23 “ From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.

Aniga aakhirada hore waa lay taagay, waxaan jiray bilowgii ugu horreeyey, Ama intaan dunidu jirin ka hor.

24 “ When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.

Anigu waxaan dhashay intaan moolal jirin ka hor, Iyo intaanay jirin ilo biyo ka buuxaan.

25 “ Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was brought forth;

Intaan la qotomin buuraha Iyo kuraha ka hor ayaan anigu dhashay,

26 W hile He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world.

Intaanuu isagu samayn dhulka iyo berrimmada, Amase ciiddii dunida ugu horraysay.

27 “ When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,

Markuu samooyinka hagaajiyey anigu waan joogay, Markuu xariijinta ku wareejiyey moolka dushiisa,

28 W hen He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,

Markuu cirka sare taagay, Markii ilaha moolku xoog yeesheen,

29 W hen He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;

Markuu badda xad u yeelay Si aan biyuhu amarkiisa ugu xadgudbin, Markuu aasaaskii dhulka dhigay,

30 T hen I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,

Markaas anigu isagaan dhinac joogay, anigoo ah sidii hawlhoggaamiye, Oo anigu maalin kasta faraxiisaan ahaa, Oo mar kasta hortiisaan ku rayrayn jiray;

31 R ejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my delight in the sons of men.

Waxaan ku rayrayn jiray inta dhulkiisa la degay, Oo waxaan ku farxi jiray binu-aadmiga.

32 “ Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla; Waayo, waxaa barakaysan kuwa jidadkayga xajiya.

33 “ Heed instruction and be wise, And do not neglect it.

Edbinta dhegaysta, oo caqli yeesha, Oo ha diidina.

34 “ Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.

Waxaa barakaysan ninka i maqla, Oo maalin kasta irdahayga igu dhawra, Oo albaabbadayda igu suga.

35 “ For he who finds me finds life And obtains favor from the Lord.

Waayo, ku alla kii i helaa wuxuu helaa nolol, Oo Rabbiguna raalli buu ka ahaan doonaa.

36 “ But he who sins against me injures himself; All those who hate me love death.”

Laakiinse kii igu dembaabaa naftiisuu wax yeelaa, Kuwa aniga i neceb oo dhammu waxay jecel yihiin dhimasho.
