¹Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.

¹Xigmaddu gurigeeday dhisatay, Toddobadeedii tiirna way xaradhay.

²She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.

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

³She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:

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

⁴“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

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

⁵“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!

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

⁶Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”

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

⁷He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

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

⁸Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

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

⁹Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous 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 Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

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

¹¹For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.

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

¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

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

¹³The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing.

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

¹⁴She sits 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 to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,

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

¹⁶“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

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

¹⁷“Stolen water is sweet. Food 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 doesn’t know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

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