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 son of Jakeh—the utterance: This man declared to Ithiel, to 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 like an animal than any human and I do not have the understanding of a human being.
3 Na da bagade dawa: su hamedafa lai amola na da Gode ea hou hamedafa dawa:
I have not learned wisdom, nor do I 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 has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has gathered up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
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 tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge 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 to his words, or he will discipline you, and you will be proved to be a liar.
7 Na da Dima adole ba: sa, “Gode! Na da liligi aduna Dima lalalu bogomu da defea.
Two things I ask of you, do not withhold them from 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.
Put vanity and lies far away from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, just give me the food I need.
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.
For if I have too much, I might deny you and say, “Who is Yahweh?” Or if I become poor, I might steal and profane 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 slander a slave before his master, or he will curse you and you will be held guilty.
11 Dunu oda ilia da eda se nabima: ne, gagabusa. Amola eme amoma nodone hame asigisa.
There is a generation that curses their father and does 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 is pure in their own eyes, and yet they are not washed of their filth.
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 whose eyes are raised up, and how high are their eyelids 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 swords, and their jawbones are like knives, so they may devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among humanity.
15 Hebe da idiwi aduna gala. Ela da dio afadafa gala, amo ‘Nama ima!’ Amola liligi biyaduyale amo ilia hanai da hame sadimu.
The leech has two daughters: “Give and give” they cry. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that 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)
Sheol; the barren womb; land that is never satisfied with water; and the fire that never says, “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 mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, his eyes will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, and he will be eaten by the vultures.
18 Eno liligi biyaduyale gala amo na dawa: mu gogolei.
There are three things that are too wonderful for me, four that I do not understand:
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 sky; the way of a snake on 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.”
This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and she wipes her mouth and says, “I have done nothing wrong.”
21 Liligi biyaduyale gala da wadela: idafaba: le, fedege agoane, osobo bagade da amo liligi biyaduyale gala higasa.
Under three things the earth trembles, and under four it cannot bear up:
22 (age) Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu e da hina bagade hamosa. (ageyadu) Gagaousu dunu da ha: i manu bagade nawene sadisa.
a slave when he becomes king; a fool when he is filled with food;
23 (osoda) Wadela: idafa uda amo da gawa fisa. (biyadu) Hawa: hamosu uda da ea hina uda amo ea sogebi samogene lasa.
a hated woman when she marries; and a maid when she takes the place of her mistress.
24 Osobo bagadega da ohe fonobahadidafa biyaduyale gala. Amo ohe amo da baligili bagadedafa dawa: su gala.
Four things on earth are small and yet they are very wise:
25 (age) Gedama! Amo da liligi fonobahadi amola gasa hame. Be amomane ilia da mugi oubiga ha: i manu momagesa.
the ants are creatures that are not strong, but they prepare their food in the summer;
26 (ageyadu) Amola wasigiba ea hou dawa: ma. E da gasa hame be amomane e da diasu igi adoba gagusa.
the rock badgers are not mighty creatures, but they make their homes in the rocks.
27 (osoda) Amola danuba: dawa: ma. Ilia da hina hame, amomane ilia da gilisili hagili mogodigili ahoa.
Locusts have no king, but all of them march in rank.
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.
As for the lizard, you can hold it in your two hands, yet they are found in kings' palaces.
29 Liligi biyaduyale gala ilia ahoabe hou di ba: sea, noga: iwane ba: sa.
There are three things that are stately in their stride and four that are stately in how they walk:
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, strongest among wild animals— it does not turn away from anything;
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 strutting rooster; a goat; and a king whose soldiers are beside him.
32 Amola di da gagousu dunu agoai, gasa fi hou hamosea, amola wadela: i hou hamomusa: dawa: sea, yolesima amola dawa: ma.
If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil— put your hand over your 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.
As churning milk makes butter and as one's nose will produce blood if it is twisted, so deeds done in anger produce conflict.
