29 Kii inta wax badan la canaanto ka madax adkaadaa,
Dhaqso buu u jabi doonaa, dawona ma leh.
Markii kuwa xaqa ahu amarka haystaan, dadku wuu reyreeyaa,
Laakiinse markii kuwa sharka lahu xukunka wataan, dadku wuu taahaa.
Kii xigmad jecelu aabbihiisuu ka farxiyaa,
Laakiinse kii dhillooyin raacaa maalkiisuu khasaariyaa.
Boqorku gar buu dalka ku dhisaa,
Laakiinse kii laaluush jecelu wuu dumiyaa.
Ninkii deriskiisa faaniyaa
Shabag dabin ah ayuu cagihiisa hor dhigaa.
Ninkii shar ah xadgudubkiisa waxaa ku jira dabin,
Laakiinse kii xaq ahu waa iska heesaa oo reyreeyaa.
Kii xaq ahu wuxuu ka war hayaa dacwadda masaakiinta,
Laakiinse kii shar ahu ma yaqaan aqoontaas.
Kuwa wax quudhsadaa magaalay dab qabadsiiyaan,
Laakiinse kuwa caqliga lahu cadhay qabowjiyaan.
Haddii nin caqli leh nin nacas ah la doodo,
Nasasho ma jirto hadduu cadhoodo iyo hadduu qosloba.
10 Dhiigyocabyadu kii kaamil ah way neceb yihiin,
Laakiinse kuwa qumman waxay doondoonaan inay naftiisa badbaadshaan.
11 Nacasku cadhadiisa oo dhan buu soo saaraa,
Laakiinse kii caqli lahu dib buu u ceshadaa, wuuna aamusnaadaa.
12 Haddii taliye been dhegaysto,
Midiidinyadiisa oo dhammu waa wada shar miidhan.
13 Miskiinka iyo khaayinku way wada kulmaan,
Oo labadoodaba Rabbigu indhahooduu iftiimiyaa.
14 Boqorkii daacadnimo masaakiinta ugu xukuma,
Carshigiisu wuu dhisnaan doonaa weligiisba.
15 Usha iyo canaantu caqli bay keenaan,
Laakiinse ilmihii layska daayaa ceeb buu hooyadiis u soo jiidaa.
16 Markii kuwa sharka lahu bataan, xadgudub baa sii kordha,
Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah ayaa dhiciddooda arki doona.
17 Wiilkaaga edbi, oo isna wuu ku nasin doonaa,
Haah, naftaada wuu ka farxin doonaa.
18 Markii aan muujinu jirin dadku waa halligmaa,
Laakiinse kii sharciga dhawraa waa barakaysan yahay.
19 Addoon hadal kuma edeb yeesho,
Waayo, in kastoo uu garanayo ka jawaabi maayo.
20 Ma aragtay nin hadalkiisa ku degdega?
Kaas waxaa ka rajo roon nacas.
21 Kii addoonkiisa si wanaagsan u soo koriya tan iyo yaraantiisa,
Ugu dambaysta wiil buu u noqon doonaa.
22 Ninkii xanaaq badanu muran buu kiciyaa.
Ninkii cadho kululuna xadgudub buu badsadaa.
23 Nin kibirkiisu hoos buu u dejin doonaa,
Laakiinse kii is-hoosaysiiyaa sharaf buu heli doonaa.
24 Ku alla kii tuug la shirkoobaa naftiisuu nacaa,
Habaarkuu maqlaa, laakiinse waxba kama sheego.
25 Dadka ka cabsashadiisu wax bay dabtaa,
Laakiinse kii Rabbiga isku halleeyaa wuu nabad geli doonaa.
26 Kuwo badan baa taliyaha raallinimo ka doona,
Laakiinse dadka garsooriddiisu waxay ka timaadaa xagga Rabbiga.
27 Ninkii xaqdaranu waa u karaahiyo kuwa xaqa ah,
Oo kii jidka ku qummanuna waa u karaahiyo kii shar ah.
