¹Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule.

¹Bal eega, boqor baa xaqnimo ku talin doona, oo amiirrona caddaalad bay wax ku xukumi doonaan.

²And each hath been as a hiding-place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding-place [from] inundation, As rivulets of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.

²Oo ninba wuxuu noqon doonaa meel dabaysha lagaga dhuunto iyo gabbaad duufaanka laga dugsado, iyo sida webiyo biya ah oo meel engegan ku yaal, iyo sida hoos dhagax weyn oo dal oommane ah ku yaal.

³And not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of hearers do attend.

³Oo kuwii arka indhahoodu ma ay awdmi doonaan, oo kuwii maqla dhegahooduna way dhegaysan doonaan.

⁴And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly.

⁴Oo kuwa wax walba ku degdega qalbigoodu aqoontuu garan doonaa, oo kuwa gangada leh carrabkooduna wuxuu diyaar u ahaan doonaa inuu bayaan u hadlo.

⁵A fool is no more called `noble,` And to a miser it is not said, `rich;`

⁵Oo mar dambe lama odhan doono, Nacasku waa gob, oo lama odhan doono, Xoolocirdoonku waa deeqsi.

⁶For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.

⁶Waayo, nacasku nacasnimuu ku hadli doonaa, oo qalbigiisuna xumaan buu samayn doonaa si uu cibaadala'aan ugu isticmaalo oo uu wax been ah Rabbiga ka sheego, inuu nafta gaajaysan sii madhiyo oo uu kii oomman cabniinkiisa gooyo.

⁷And the miser — his instruments [are] evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.

⁷Oo xoolocirdoonka hubkiisuna waa shar miidhan, oo wuxuu hindisaa hindisayaal shar ah si uu masaakiinta erayo been ah ugu baabbi'iyo, xataa haddii saboolku si qumman u hadlo.

⁸And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.

⁸Laakiinse deeqsigu wuxuu hindisaa waxyaalo deeqsinimo ah, oo wuxuu ku sii adkaan doonaa waxyaalo deeqsinimo ah.

⁹Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,

⁹Naagaha istareexsanow, kaca, oo codkayga maqla, gabdhaha aan digtoonaynow, Erayga dhegta u dhiga.

¹⁰Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not.

¹⁰Naagaha aan digtoonaynow, sannad iyo dhawr maalmood ayaad dhibtoon doontaan, waayo, canabguriddu ma jiri doonto oo midho-urursiguna ma iman doono.

¹¹Tremble ye women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,

¹¹Naagaha istareexsanow, gariira, oo kuwiinna aan digtoonaynow, dhibtooda. Ismudhxiya, oo isqaawiya, oo dhar joonyad ah dhexda ku xidha.

¹²For breasts they are lamenting, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.

¹²Beerihii wanaagsanaa iyo canabkii midhaha badnaa ee la waayay aawadood ayay naasahooda u garaaci doonaan.

¹³Over the ground of my people thorn — brier goeth up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,

¹³Oo dalka dadkayga iyo xataa guryaha farxadda oo magaalooyinka faraxsan ku yaal oo dhan waxaa ka soo bixi doona qodxan iyo yamaarug,

¹⁴Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the age, A joy of wild asses — a pasture of herds;

¹⁴maxaa yeelay, daarta boqornimada waa laga tegi doonaa, oo magaalada dadka badanna waa laga kici doonaa, oo buurta iyo munaaradduna waxay weligood ahaan doonaan godad dugaag, iyo farxad dameer banjoog ah, iyo daaqsin idaad,

¹⁵Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned.

¹⁵ilaa Ruuxa xagga sare nalagu kor shubo, oo cidladuna ay noqoto beer midho badan, oo beerta midhaha badanna sida duud oo kale lagu tiriyo.

¹⁶And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth.

¹⁶Oo markaas dabadeed ayaa caddaaladu cidlada joogi doontaa, oo xaqnimona waxay ku sii jiri doontaa beerta midhaha badan.

¹⁷And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness — Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.

¹⁷Oo xaqnimada shuqulkeeduna wuxuu ahaan doonaa nabad, xaqnimaduna weligeed waxay keeni doontaa xasilloonaan iyo kalsooni.

¹⁸And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places.

¹⁸Oo dadkayguna waxay joogi doonaan rug nabaadiino, iyo hoyaal ammaan ah, iyo meelo xasilloon oo lagu nasto.

¹⁹And it hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in the valley is the city low.

¹⁹Laakiinse roobdhagaxyaale ahu wuxuu ku soo degi doonaa duudda, oo magaaladana hoos baa loo soo dejin doonaa.Waxaa barakaysan kuwiinna biyo dhinacyadooda oo dhan wax ku abuura oo dibiga iyo dameerka u sii daaya inay daaqaan.

²⁰Happy [are] ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!

²⁰Waxaa barakaysan kuwiinna biyo dhinacyadooda oo dhan wax ku abuura oo dibiga iyo dameerka u sii daaya inay daaqaan.
