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 Yakeh, even the prophecy: the man said unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ukkal,
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 common man.
3 Na da bagade dawa: su hamedafa lai amola na da Gode ea hou hamedafa dawa:
Nor have I learned wisdom, so that I should have knowledge of the Holy One.
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 was it that ascended into heaven, and came down again? who gathered the wind in his fists? who bound the waters in a garment? who set up all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest it?”
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 saying of God is purified: he is a shield unto those 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.”
Do not add aught 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 do I request 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.
Vanity and lying words do thou remove far from me: neither poverty nor riches give thou unto me; let me eat the bread appointed unto 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 become over-full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I become poor, and steal, and trespass against 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.
Do not calumniate a servant unto his master: lest he curse thee, and thou incur guilt.
11 Dunu oda ilia da eda se nabima: ne, gagabusa. Amola eme amoma nodone hame asigisa.
There is a generation that curseth its father, and doth not bless its 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 is pure in its own eyes, and yet is not washed [clean] of its 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 its eyes! and its eyelids are so 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 whose string teeth are 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.
Insatiability hath two daughters, [crying, ] Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things which never say, 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 nether world; and a barren womb; the earth which is not satisfied with water; and the fire which never saith, 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, this shall the ravens of the valley pick out; and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Eno liligi biyaduyale gala amo na dawa: mu gogolei.
Three things there are which are too wonderful for me; and 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 the eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
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 wrong.
21 Liligi biyaduyale gala da wadela: idafaba: le, fedege agoane, osobo bagade da amo liligi biyaduyale gala higasa.
Under three things the earth trembleth, and under four which she cannot bear:
22 (age) Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu e da hina bagade hamosa. (ageyadu) Gagaousu dunu da ha: i manu bagade nawene sadisa.
Under a servant when he becometh king, and a worthless fool when he hath eaten enough bread;
23 (osoda) Wadela: idafa uda amo da gawa fisa. (biyadu) Hawa: hamosu uda da ea hina uda amo ea sogebi samogene lasa.
Under an odious woman when she is married, and a bond-woman when she dispossesseth her mistress.
24 Osobo bagadega da ohe fonobahadidafa biyaduyale gala. Amo ohe amo da baligili bagadedafa dawa: su gala.
There are four which are the little ones of the earth, and they are nevertheless exceedingly 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, therefore do they prepare in the summer their food;
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 people, therefore do they place on the rocks their houses;
27 (osoda) Amola danuba: dawa: ma. Ilia da hina hame, amomane ilia da gilisili hagili mogodigili ahoa.
The locusts have no king, and yet they go forth in troops altogether;
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 thou canst catch with [thy] hands, and yet she is in the palaces of a king.
29 Liligi biyaduyale gala ilia ahoabe hou di ba: sea, noga: iwane ba: sa.
Three there are that have a stately step, and four, that are stately 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.
The lion, the mightiest among beasts, who turneth not round from before any one;
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.
The light-legged greyhound, and the he-goat; 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 become degraded by lifting up thyself, or if thou hast devised evil, put thy hand to 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.
For the pressure of milk bringeth forth butter, and the pressure of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the pressure of wrath bringeth forth strife.
