¹Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

¹Xigmaddu gurigeeday dhisatay, Toddobadeedii tiirna way xaradhay.

²She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

²Neefafkeedii ayay qashay, oo waxay isku dartay khamrigeedii; Miiskeediina way diyaarisay.

³She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

³Oo gabdhaheedii midiidinnada ahaa ayay dirtay, oo waxay ka qaylinaysaa Magaalada meelaha ugu sarreeya, iyadoo leh,

⁴Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

⁴Ku alla kii garaaddaranu, halkan ha u soo leexdo. Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,

⁵Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

⁵Kaalaya oo kibistayda wax ka cuna, Oo khamriga aan isku darayna wax ka cabba.

⁶Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

⁶Garaadlaawayaashow, nacasnimada iska daaya, oo noolaada, Oo jidka waxgarashadana mara.

⁷He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

⁷Kii mid wax quudhsada toosiyaa, cay buu isu soo jiidaa, Oo kii kan sharka leh canaantana, ceeb baa ku dhacda.

⁸Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁸Mid wax quudhsada ha canaanan, waaba intaas oo uu ku necbaadaaye, Nin caqli leh canaano, oo isna wuu ku jeclaan doonaa.

⁹Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

⁹Nin caqli leh wax bar, oo isna caqli wuu sii yeelan doonaa. Nin xaq ah wax bar, oo isna waxbarasho wuu sii korodhsan doonaa.

¹⁰The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

¹⁰Rabbiga in laga cabsado waa xigmadda bilowgeeda, Oo Kan quduuska ah in la aqoonsadona waa waxgarasho.

¹¹For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

¹¹Waayo, maalmahaagu anigay igu badan doonaan, Oo cimrigaaguna waa sii kordhi doonaa.

¹²If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

¹²Haddaad caqli leedahay naftaadaad caqli u leedahay, Laakiinse haddaad wax quudhsato, adiga uun baa waxquudhsashadaada xambaaran doona.

¹³A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

¹³Naagta nacasadda ahu waa qaylo badan tahay, Iyadu way garaaddaran tahay, oo waxba ma taqaan.

¹⁴For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

¹⁴Waayo, waxay fadhiisataa illinka gurigeeda, Oo kursi bay ku fadhiisataa meelaha sarsare ee magaalada,

¹⁵To call passengers who go right on their ways:

¹⁵Inay u yeedho kuwa jidka maraya, Iyagoo jidadkooda iska sii soconaya,

¹⁶Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

¹⁶Ku alla kii garaaddaranu halkan ha u soo leexdo, Oo kii waxgarasho u baahanna waxay ku leedahay,

¹⁷Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

¹⁷Biyo la soo xaday way macaan yihiin. Oo cunto qarsoodi loo cunaana wax bay ka farxisaa.Laakiinse isagu garan maayo in kuwii dhintay ay halkaas joogaan, Iyo in martideedii ay She'ool guntiisa ku jiraan.

¹⁸But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

¹⁸Laakiinse isagu garan maayo in kuwii dhintay ay halkaas joogaan, Iyo in martideedii ay She'ool guntiisa ku jiraan.
