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 Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
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.
Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 Na da bagade dawa: su hamedafa lai amola na da Gode ea hou hamedafa dawa:
I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
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, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son’s name, if thou canst tell?
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] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust 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 thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Na da Dima adole ba: sa, “Gode! Na da liligi aduna Dima lalalu bogomu da defea.
Two [things] have I required of thee; deny me [them] not 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 lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
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 I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who [is] the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God [in vain].
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 unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
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.
[There is] a generation [that are] pure in their own eyes, and [yet] is 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.
[There is] a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 Amola dunu oda da hame gagui dunu ilima bagadewane ogogosa amola wadela: lesimusa: dawa: sa. Ilia da amodili ilia esalusu ba: sa.
[There is] a generation, whose teeth [are as] swords, and their jaw teeth [as] knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy 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 horseleach hath two daughters, [crying], Give, give. There are three [things that] are never satisfied, [yea], four [things] say not, [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)
The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [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 despiseth to obey [his] mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Eno liligi biyaduyale gala amo na dawa: mu gogolei.
There be three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
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 with a maid.
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] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21 Liligi biyaduyale gala da wadela: idafaba: le, fedege agoane, osobo bagade da amo liligi biyaduyale gala higasa.
For three [things] the earth is disquieted, and for four [which] it cannot bear:
22 (age) Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu e da hina bagade hamosa. (ageyadu) Gagaousu dunu da ha: i manu bagade nawene sadisa.
For a servant when he reigneth; and 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.
For an odious [woman] when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 Osobo bagadega da ohe fonobahadidafa biyaduyale gala. Amo ohe amo da baligili bagadedafa dawa: su gala.
There be four [things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are] exceeding wise:
25 (age) Gedama! Amo da liligi fonobahadi amola gasa hame. Be amomane ilia da mugi oubiga ha: i manu momagesa.
The ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 (ageyadu) Amola wasigiba ea hou dawa: ma. E da gasa hame be amomane e da diasu igi adoba gagusa.
The conies [are but] a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 (osoda) Amola danuba: dawa: ma. Ilia da hina hame, amomane ilia da gilisili hagili mogodigili ahoa.
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by 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 spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
29 Liligi biyaduyale gala ilia ahoabe hou di ba: sea, noga: iwane ba: sa.
There be three [things] which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
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 [which is] strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
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 greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up.
32 Amola di da gagousu dunu agoai, gasa fi hou hamosea, amola wadela: i hou hamomusa: dawa: sea, yolesima amola dawa: ma.
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] thine hand upon thy 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.
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
