23 Markaad u fadhiisatid inaad taliye wax la cuntid,
Aad uga fiirso waxa hortaada yaal,
2 Oo mindi cunaha iska saar
Haddaad tahay nin hunguri weyn.
3 Cuntadiisa macaan ha damcin,
Waayo, waa cunto khiyaaneed.
4 Ha isku daalin si aad taajir ku noqotid.
Oo xigmaddaadana ka joogso.
5 Ma waxaad indhaha ku dayaysaa wax aan jirin?
Waayo, hubaal maalku wuxuu yeeshaa baalal,
Sida gorgor samada u duula oo kale.
6 Kan isha sharka leh kibistiisa ha cunin,
Cuntadiisa macaanna ha damcin,
7 Waayo, isagu waxaa weeye siduu qalbiga kaga fikiro;
Wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Cun oo cab,
Laakiinse qalbigiisu kulama jiro.
8 Wixii aad cuntay waad soo mantagi doontaa,
Oo erayadaadii macaanaana way kaa lumi doonaan.
9 Nacas waxba ha kula hadlin,
Waayo, isagu xigmadda hadalkaaga wuu quudhsan doonaa.
10 Soohdintii hore ha durkin,
Beeraha agoommadana ha dhex gelin,
11 Waayo, bixiyahoodu waa xoog badan yahay;
Oo isaga ayaa dacwadooda kugu qaadi doona.
12 Qalbigaaga edbinta u jeedi,
Oo dhegahana erayada aqoonta.
13 Ilmaha edbin ha u diidin,
Waayo, haddaad isaga ul ku garaacdid, ma dhiman doono.
14 Ul baad isaga ku garaaci doontaa,
Oo naftiisaad She'ool ka samatabbixin doontaa.
15 Wiilkaygiiyow, haddii qalbigaagu caqli leeyahay,
Qalbigayguna wuu farxi doonaa.
16 Haah, oo xataa uurkaygu wuu rayrayn doonaa,
Markay bushimahaagu wax qumman ku hadlaan.
17 Qalbigaagu yaanu dembilayaal ka hinaasin,
Laakiinse maalinta oo dhan Rabbiga ka cabso.
18 Waayo, hubaal waxaa jira abaalgud,
Oo rajadaaduna kaama go'i doonto.
19 Wiilkaygiiyow, i maqal, oo caqli yeelo,
Oo qalbigaagana jidka ku toosi.
20 Ha dhex joogin khamriyacabyada
Iyo kuwa hunguriweynaanta hilibka u cuna,
21 Waayo, kii sakhraan ah iyo kii hunguri weynuba way caydhoobi doonaan,
Oo lulona nin calal bay u xidhi doontaa.
22 Dhegayso aabbahaagii ku dhalay,
Oo hooyadaana ha quudhsan markay gabowdo.
23 Runta soo iibso, oo ha sii iibin,
Oo weliba waxaad ku sii darsataa xigmadda iyo edbinta iyo waxgarashada.
24 Kii xaq ah aabbihiis aad buu u farxi doonaa,
Oo kii ilmo caqli leh dhalaana farxad buu ka heli doonaa.
25 Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaaba ha farxeen,
Oo tii ku dhashayna ha rayrayso.
26 Wiilkaygiiyow, qalbigaaga i sii,
Oo indhahaaguna jidadkayga ha dhawreen.
27 Waayo, dhillo waa booraan dheer,
Oo naag qalaadna waa god cidhiidhi ah.
28 Sida tuug oo kale ayay u gabbataa,
Oo waxay dadka ku dhex badisaa khaayinnada.
29 Bal yaa hoog leh? Oo yaa caloolxumo leh? Oo yaa murammo leh?
Oo yaa calaacal badan leh? Oo yaa u dhaawacan sababla'aan?
Oo yaa indho casaan ah leh?
30 Waa kuwa wakhti dheer ku raaga khamriga,
Waana kuwa u taga inay doondoontaan khamri laysku daray.
31 Ha fiirin khamrigu markuu casaado,
Markuu koobka ka dhex dhalaalo,
Iyo markuu si wanaagsan u shubmayoba.
32 Ugu dambaysta wuxuu wax u qaniinaa sida abeesada,
Oo sida jilbiskana wax buu u qaniinaa.
33 Indhahaagu waxay arki doonaan naago qalaad,
Oo qalbigaaguna wuxuu ku hadli doonaa waxyaalo qalloocan.
34 Oo waxaad ahaan doontaa sida kan badda dhexdeeda jiifsada,
Ama sida ka dakhalka dhaladiisa sare seexda.
35 Waxaad odhan doontaa, Wax bay igu dhufteen, laakiin waxba ima yeelin.
Way i garaaceen, iskamana aanan garan;
Bal goormaan toosi doonaa? Weli mar kalaan doonan doonaa.

Saying 7
23 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
note well what[a] is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.
3 Do not crave his delicacies,(A)
for that food is deceptive.
Saying 8
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,(B)
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.(C)
Saying 9
6 Do not eat the food of a begrudging host,
do not crave his delicacies;(D)
7 for he is the kind of person
who is always thinking about the cost.[b]
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten
and will have wasted your compliments.
Saying 10
9 Do not speak to fools,
for they will scorn your prudent words.(E)
Saying 11
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone(F)
or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11 for their Defender(G) is strong;(H)
he will take up their case against you.(I)
Saying 12
12 Apply your heart to instruction(J)
and your ears to words of knowledge.
Saying 13
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
14 Punish them with the rod
and save them from death.(K)
Saying 14
15 My son, if your heart is wise,
then my heart will be glad indeed;
16 my inmost being will rejoice
when your lips speak what is right.(L)
Saying 15
17 Do not let your heart envy(M) sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.
18 There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.(N)
Saying 16
19 Listen, my son,(O) and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine(P)
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,(Q)
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Saying 17
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.(R)
23 Buy the truth and do not sell it—
wisdom, instruction and insight as well.(S)
24 The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.(T)
25 May your father and mother rejoice;
may she who gave you birth be joyful!(U)
Saying 18
26 My son,(V) give me your heart
and let your eyes delight in my ways,(W)
27 for an adulterous woman is a deep pit,(X)
and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Like a bandit she lies in wait(Y)
and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
Saying 19
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine,(Z)
who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”(AA)
