Maahmaahyadii 22
Somali Bible
22 Magac wanaagsan baa laga doortaa maal badan,
Oo nimcana waa ka wanaagsan tahay lacag iyo dahab.
2 Taajirka iyo miskiinku way wada kulmaan,
Oo Rabbigu waa kii kulligood sameeyey.
3 Ninkii miyir lahu sharkuu arkaa, wuuna dhuuntaa,
Laakiinse garaadlaawayaashu way iska sii maraan, waana la taqsiiraa.
4 Is-hoosaysiinta iyo Rabbiga ka cabsashadiisa abaalgudkoodu
Waxaa weeyaan hodantinimo iyo sharaf iyo nolol.
5 Qodxan iyo dabinnaba waxay yaalliin jidka ninka qalloocan,
Laakiinse kii naftiisa dhawraa waa ka fogaan doonaa iyaga.
6 Ilmo u rabbee siduu ku socon lahaa,
Oo isna xataa markuu gaboobo kama leexan doono.
7 Taajirku masaakiintuu u taliyaa
Oo kii wax amaahdaana midiidin buu u yahay kii wax amaahiya.
8 Kii xumaan beeraa wuxuu goosan doonaa belaayo,
Oo usha cadhadiisuna way dhammaan doontaa.
9 Kii il deeqsiya lahu wuu barakoobi doonaa,
Waayo, isagu wuxuu cuntadiisa wax ka siiyaa masaakiinta.
10 Kan wax quudhsada eri, oo muranku wuu bixi doonaa,
Dirirta iyo cayduna way dhammaan doonaan.
11 Kii daahirsanaanta qalbiga jecel,
Oo bushimihiisu nimco leeyihiin, xataa boqorka ayaa saaxiibkiis ahaan doona.
12 Indhaha Rabbigu waxay dhawraan ka aqoonta leh,
Laakiinse isagu wuxuu afgembiyaa erayada khaayinka.
13 Kii caajis ahu wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Libaax baa dibadda jooga,
Oo jidka dhexdiisa ayaa laygu dili doonaa.
14 Naago qalaad afkoodu waa god dheer,
Oo waxaa ku dhici doona kii xagga Rabbiga laga nacay.
15 Nacasnimadu waxay ku xidhan tahay qalbiga ilmaha.
Laakiinse usha edbintu way ka fogayn doontaa.
16 Kii miskiinka u dulma inuu maal korodhsado,
Iyo kii taajirka wax siiyaaba hubaal way baahnaan doonaan.
Erayada Kuwa Caqliga Leh
17 Dhegta u dhig, oo erayada kuwa caqliga leh maqal,
Oo qalbigana aqoontayda u jeedi.
18 Waayo, waa wax wanaagsan haddii aad uurka ku haysatid,
Oo hadday dhammaantood bushimahaaga diyaar ku ahaadaan.
19 Bal eeg, adigaan maanta iyaga ku ogeysiiyey,
Inaad Rabbiga aaminsan tahay.
20 Miyaanan waxyaalo wanaagsan kuugu qorin
Talooyinka iyo aqoonta,
21 Si aan kuu ogeysiiyo hubaasha erayada runta,
Inaad erayada runta uga jawaabtid kuwii ku soo diray?
22 Miskiinka ha dhicin, waayo, isagu waa miskiin,
Oo kan dhibaataysanna meesha iridda ha ku dulmin,
23 Waayo, Rabbiga ayaa dacwadooda u qaadi doona,
Oo kuwa iyaga dhaca naftoodana wuu dhici doonaa.
24 Ha la saaxiibin nin xanaaq badan,
Oo nin cadho kululna waa inaanad la socon,
25 Waaba intaas oo aad jidkiisa baratid,
Oo aad naftaadana dabin ku riddid.
26 Ha noqonin sida kuwa gacanta dhaar ugu dhiiba,
Ama sida kuwa deyman u dammiinta.
27 Haddaanad haysan wax aad bixiso,
Bal muxuu sariirtaada hoostaada uga la bixi?
28 Soohdinta hore oo ay awowayaashu dhigeen
Innaba ha durkin.
29 Miyaad aragtaa nin shuqulkiisa ku dadaala?
Isagu wuxuu istaagi doonaa boqorro hortood.
Oo kuwa hoose hortoodana ma istaagi doono.
Proverbs 22
New King James Version
The Value of a Good Name
22 A (A)good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold.
3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are (D)punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.
7 The (F)rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.
10 (J)Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave;
Yes, strife and reproach will cease.
11 (K)He who loves purity of heart
And has grace on his lips,
The king will be his friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge,
But He overthrows the words of the faithless.
13 (L)The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside!
I shall be slain in the streets!”
14 (M)The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;
(N)He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
(O)The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,
And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.
Sayings of the Wise
17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your heart to my knowledge;
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;
Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
19 So that your trust may be in the Lord;
I have instructed you today, even you.
20 Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,
21 (P)That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
(Q)That you may answer words of truth
To those who [d]send to you?
22 Do not rob the (R)poor because he is poor,
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;
23 (S)For the Lord will plead their cause,
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man,
And with a (T)furious man do not go,
25 Lest you learn his ways
And set a snare for your soul.
26 (U)Do not be one of those who [e]shakes hands in a pledge,
One of those who is [f]surety for debts;
27 If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take away your bed from under you?
29 Do you see a man who [h]excels in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before [i]unknown men.
