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, the revelation: the man says 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 the most ignorant man, and don’t have a man’s understanding.
3 Na da bagade dawa: su hamedafa lai amola na da Gode ea hou hamedafa dawa:
I have not learnt wisdom, neither do I have the 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 ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if 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 flawless. 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.”
Don’t you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be 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 you. Don’t deny 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 falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful 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, deny you, and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonour 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.
“Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you 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 doesn’t 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, 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.
There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! 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 like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from amongst 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 leech has two daughters: ‘Give, give.’ “There are three things that are never satisfied; four that don’t 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, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘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 at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Eno liligi biyaduyale gala amo na dawa: mu gogolei.
“There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I don’t 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 air, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship in the middle of the sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.
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.”
“So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and 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.
“For three things the earth trembles, and under four, it can’t bear up:
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 is 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.
for an unloved woman when she is married, and a servant who 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 things which are little on the earth, but they are 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 not a strong people, yet they provide 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 hyraxes 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 they advance in ranks.
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.
You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.
29 Liligi biyaduyale gala ilia ahoabe hou di ba: sea, noga: iwane ba: sa.
“There are three things which are stately in their march, four which 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, which is mightiest amongst animals, and doesn’t turn 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.
the greyhound; the male goat; and the 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 you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought 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.
For as the churning of milk produces butter, and the wringing of the nose produces blood, so the forcing of wrath produces strife.”
