Malasu 30
1 Goe da gogolole sia: su A: ige (Ya: ige egefe) da amane sia: i, “Gode da namagai hame! Gode da namagai hame! Na da gasa hame hahani galebe.
The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
2 Na da dunu agoai hame. Na da ohe agoai esala. Dunu da dawa: su noga: iwane dialumu da defea. Be na da agoaiwane dawa: su da hame galebe.
I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
3 Na da bagade dawa: su hamedafa lai amola na da Gode ea hou hamedafa dawa:
I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
4 Nowa da Hebene hou huluane dawa: bela: ? Nowa da fo ea loboga gagubala: ? Amola nowa da abula gadelaiga hano gadoba: bela: ? Amola osobo bagade ea bega: huluane da nowa ea alalo ilegebela: ? Amola dia dawa: loba, e da nowala: ? Amola e da nowa ea manola: ?
Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
5 Gode E da Ea moloidafa hou hamomu ilegele sia: i, E da dafawane hamomu. Amola, E da Gaga: sudafa, amola nowa dunu da E hogoi helesea, amo dunu da gaga: su ba: mu.
Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
6 Gode Ea sia: dafa amoga dia hanai sia: mae gilisima. Di da amane hamosea, E da dima gagabomu, amola eno dunu dawa: ma: ne Gode da di da ogogole olelesu dunu olelemu.”
Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
7 Na da Dima adole ba: sa, “Gode! Na da liligi aduna Dima lalalu bogomu da defea.
Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
8 Na ogogolalosa: besa: le, na Dia fidima. Na bagade gagui agoai esalosa: besa: le o hamedafa gagui agoai esalosa: besa: le, Dia na fidima. Amaiba: le, ha: i manu na dafawane esaloma: ne lamu liligi defele nama ima.
Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
9 Na da Di gogolesa: besa: le, liligi bagadedafa nama mae ima. Amola na da liligi hamedafa gaguiba: le, wamolasa: besa: le amola Dia Dio wadela: sa: besa: le, liligi fonobahadi nama ima.
Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
10 Di da hawa: hamosu dunu amo ea hou ea hina dunuma baligidu sia: mae sia: ma. Amane hamosea, hawa: hamosu dunu da dima gagabumu, amola dia hamoi defele, di da se nabimu.
Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
11 Dunu oda ilia da eda se nabima: ne, gagabusa. Amola eme amoma nodone hame asigisa.
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12 Dunu oda ilia da amane dawa: sa, ilisu ilia da moloiwaneyale dawa: sa. Be ilia da ledodafa gala.
A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13 Goe da dunu eno ilia da amane dawa: su, ilia da ili da moloiwaneyale dawa: su. Dafawane! Ilia da ilisu noga: iwaneyale dawa: sa.
A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
14 Amola dunu oda da hame gagui dunu ilima bagadewane ogogosa amola wadela: lesimusa: dawa: sa. Ilia da amodili ilia esalusu ba: sa.
A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
15 Hebe da idiwi aduna gala. Ela da dio afadafa gala, amo ‘Nama ima!’ Amola liligi biyaduyale amo ilia hanai da hame sadimu.
The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
16 Amo liligi biyaduyale gala da, (age) Bogoi uli dogoi da hame sadimu. (ageyadu) Aligime uda da hame sadimu. (osoda) Hafoga: i osobo gibu hameba: le da hame sadimu. (biyadu) Amola lalu haba: domu gogolei amo da hame sadimu. (Sheol h7585)
Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 Nowa da eda amoma lasogole ofesega: sea, o ea eme ea da: i hamoi eso amoga ema higale ba: sea, sia misini ea da: i hodo manu da defea, amola soge buhiba amo ea si duga: mu da defea.
The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
18 Eno liligi biyaduyale gala amo na dawa: mu gogolei.
Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
19 Goe da wayalima muagadodafa hagili ahoa. Sania da gele da: iya sugi ahoana. Eno da dusagai hano wayabo amo ganodini masusa: logo hogolala. Dunu amola uda ela lamusa: magedaha.
The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.
20 Goe da uda amo da egoama baligi fa: su, amo ea hou da agoaiwane gala. E da inia dunu adole lale, ha: i nanu, ea lafi dagale, amane sia: sa, “Na da wadela: le hame hamoi.”
Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
21 Liligi biyaduyale gala da wadela: idafaba: le, fedege agoane, osobo bagade da amo liligi biyaduyale gala higasa.
By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
22 (age) Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu e da hina bagade hamosa. (ageyadu) Gagaousu dunu da ha: i manu bagade nawene sadisa.
By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
23 (osoda) Wadela: idafa uda amo da gawa fisa. (biyadu) Hawa: hamosu uda da ea hina uda amo ea sogebi samogene lasa.
By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
24 Osobo bagadega da ohe fonobahadidafa biyaduyale gala. Amo ohe amo da baligili bagadedafa dawa: su gala.
There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25 (age) Gedama! Amo da liligi fonobahadi amola gasa hame. Be amomane ilia da mugi oubiga ha: i manu momagesa.
The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26 (ageyadu) Amola wasigiba ea hou dawa: ma. E da gasa hame be amomane e da diasu igi adoba gagusa.
The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27 (osoda) Amola danuba: dawa: ma. Ilia da hina hame, amomane ilia da gilisili hagili mogodigili ahoa.
The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
28 (biyadu) Amola goma: fi ilia hou dawa: ma. Amo da liligi fonobahadi amola dia da lobo afaega gagumusa: dawa: Be ilia da hina bagade ea diasu noga: i amo ganodini esalebe ba: sa.
The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
29 Liligi biyaduyale gala ilia ahoabe hou di ba: sea, noga: iwane ba: sa.
There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30 Amo liligi biyaduyale gala da (age) Laione wa: me e da gasa bagade amola ohe enoga e baligimu da hamedei. Amola e da ohe enoba: le hame beda: sa.
A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31 (ageyadu) Goudi (osoda) Gagala gawali amo ilia da dada: lole ahoa, amola (biyadu) Hina bagade dunu ilia da ilia dunu fi ilia midadi ahoa.
A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32 Amola di da gagousu dunu agoai, gasa fi hou hamosea, amola wadela: i hou hamomusa: dawa: sea, yolesima amola dawa: ma.
There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
33 Amola dia ohe amo ea dodo maga: me biogosea, amo da bu sefe hamomu. Amola dia eno ea mia fasea, heale masunu. Amola dia da nenege degesea, se nabasu da dima doaga: mu.
And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
