¹The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

¹Kuwanu waa maahmaahyadii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer Binu Israa'iil,

²To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

²Wuxuu u qoray si loo ogaado xigmadda iyo edbinta, Oo loo garto erayada waxgarashada,

³To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

³In la helo edbinta ku saabsan xigmadda, Iyo xaqnimada iyo garta iyo caaddilnimada;

⁴To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

⁴Si miyir loo siiyo garaadlaawaha, Oo aqoon iyo digtoonaanna loo yeelo ninka dhallinyarada ah.

⁵A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

⁵Ninkii caqli lahu wuu maqli doonaa, oo wuxuu korodhsan doonaa waxbarasho, Oo ninkii garaad lahuna wuxuu qabsan doonaa talada wanaagsan,

⁶To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁶Si lagu garto maahmaahda, iyo micnaynta, Iyo hadallada kuwa caqliga leh iyo xujooyinkooda.

⁷The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

⁷Waxaa aqoonta ugu horreeya Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa; Laakiinse nacasyadu waxay quudhsadaan xigmadda iyo edbinta.

⁸My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁸Wiilkaygiiyow, edbinta aabbahaa maqal, Oo amarka hooyadaana ha ka tegin,

⁹For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

⁹Waayo, waxay madaxaaga u noqon doonaan wax sharraxsan, Oo waxay kuu noqon doonaan silsilado qoorta kuu sudhan.

¹⁰My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

¹⁰Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii dembilayaal ku sasabtaan, Ha oggolaan.

¹¹If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

¹¹Hadday kugu yidhaahdaan, Na soo raac, Aan gaadno inaynu dhiig daadinno, Oo aynu sababla'aan kuwa aan eedda lahayn si qarsoon ugu dhuumanno;

¹²Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

¹²Oo iyagoo nool aynu u liqno sida qabriga oo kale, Dhammaantoodna aan juq siinno sida kuwa yaamayska ku dhaca;

¹³We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

¹³Waxaynu heli doonnaa maal qaali ah oo cayn kasta ah, Oo guryaheennana waxaynu ka buuxsan doonnaa booli;

¹⁴Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

¹⁴Nasiibkaaga iskula kaaya soo dar, Oo kulligeenna aynu kiishad qudha wada lahaanno;

¹⁵My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

¹⁵Wiilkaygiiyow, iyaga jidka ha la marin; Oo cagtaadana wadiiqadooda dib uga jooji;

¹⁶For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

¹⁶Waayo, cagahoodu waxay u ordaan shar, Oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig daadiyaan.

¹⁷Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

¹⁷Waayo, waa waxtarla'aan dabinka loo dhigaa Iyadoo ay shimbirtu u jeeddo;

¹⁸And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

¹⁸Iyagu waxay u gaadaan si dhiiggooda loo daadiyo, Oo waxay si qarsoon ugu dhuuntaan si naftooda looga qaado.

¹⁹So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

¹⁹Sidaas oo kalay yihiin jidadka mid kasta oo faa'iido u hunguri weyn, Oo nafta ka qaada kuwa leh.

²⁰Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

²⁰Xigmaddu aad bay uga qaylisaa jidka; Oo codkeedana waxay kor uga qaaddaa bannaanka;

²¹She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

²¹Waxay ka qaylisaa meesha suuqa ugu weyn; Oo iridda magaalada laga soo galo Ayay erayadeeda kaga hadashaa, iyadoo leh,

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

²²Kuwiinna garaadlaawayaasha ahow, ilaa goormaad garaadla'aanta sii jeclaanaysaan? Oo kuwa wax quudhsadaana, ilaa goormay quudhsashadooda ku sii farxayaan? Nacasyaduna, ilaa goormay aqoonta sii necbaanayaan?

²³Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

²³Canaantayda u soo noqda; Bal eega, anigu waxaan idinku shubi doonaa ruuxayga, Oo waxaan idin ogeysiin doonaa erayadayda.

²⁴Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

²⁴Anigu waan idiin yeedhay, laakiinse waad i diiddeen; Oo anigu gacantaydaan soo fidiyey, oo ninnana dan kama yeelan;

²⁵But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

²⁵Laakiinse idinku taladaydii oo dhan waad fududaysateen, Oo canaantaydiina ma aydin doonaynin;

²⁶I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁶Sidaas daraaddeed aniguna waan idinku qosli doonaa markay belaayo idinku dhacdo; Waanan idinku majaajiloon doonaa markay cabsiyu idinku soo degto;

²⁷When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

²⁷Markay cabsidiinnu u timaado sida duufaan oo kale, Oo belaayadiinnuna u timaado sida dabayl cirwareen ah; Oo dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi idinku yimaadaan.

²⁸Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

²⁸Markaasay ii yeedhan doonaan, laakiinse anigu uma aan jawaabi doono; Oo horay ii doondooni doonaan, laakiinse ima ay heli doonaan;

²⁹For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

²⁹Waayo, waxay nebcaadeen aqoonta, Oo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisana ma ay dooran;

³⁰They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

³⁰Iyagu taladaydii innaba ma ay doonaynin; Oo canaantaydii oo dhanna way quudhsadeen;

³¹Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

³¹Haddaba iyagu waxay cuni doonaan midhihii jidkooda, Oo waxay ka dhergi doonaan taladoodii.

³²For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

³²Waayo, garaadlaawayaasha dibunoqoshadooda ayaa iyaga dili doonta, Oo nacasyadana waxaa baabbi'in doonta barwaaqadooda.Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.

³³But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

³³Laakiinse ku alla kii aniga i maqlaa, ammaan buu u fadhiyi doonaa, Wuuna xasilloonaan doonaa, isagoo aan shar ka cabsanaynin.
