Proverbs 30
1 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:
Magi e weche mag Agur wuod Jake, ma gin weche matut. Magi e weche ma Agur wachone Ithiel; adier owuoyo ne Ithiel niya, “Aol marumo, yaye Nyasaye, to pod anyalo wuoyo.
2 I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
Chutho afuwo ahinya ma ok awinjora bedo dhano; ok an kod ngʼeyo tiend wach mar dhano.
3 I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
Ok asepuonjora rieko, kata ngʼeyo mar Nyasaye, ma en Jal Maler Moloyo, bende aongego.
4 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?
En ngʼa mosedhi e polo kendo olor piny? En ngʼa mosechoko yamo moketo ei lwete? En ngʼa mosechoko pi gi lawe kata mosepimo giko mar tungʼ piny? Nyinge to en ngʼa, koso wuode to nyinge ngʼa? Nyisa ane ka ingʼeyo!
5 Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
“Wach ka wach moa kuom Nyasaye en adier; Nyasaye en okumba ne jogo mopondo kuome.
6 Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
Kik imed gimoro e wachne, to nono obiro kwedi mi onyis ni in ja-miriambo.
7 Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
“Gik moko ariyo makwayi; yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kik itama biro buti kapok atho.
8 Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
Mi wuond gi miriambo obed mabor koda; kik imiya chan kata mwandu, to miya mana chiemba mapile.
9 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.
Nimar, ka ok kamano, to anyalo bedo gi mwandu mangʼeny mi akwedi ka awacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye to en ngʼa?’ Kata anyalo bedo jachan mi akwel, mi ami nying Nyasacha wichkuot.
10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
“Kik iwuo marach kuom jatich ne ngʼat mondike nono to obiro kwongʼi, mi iyud chandruok.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
“Nitie jogo makwongʼo wuonegi kendo ok gwedh minegi;
12 A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
jogo ma paro giwegi ni giler to ok osepwodhgi kuom kethruokgi;
13 A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
jogo ma wangʼ-gi tek masungore, manenogi richo;
14 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.
joma lekegi chalo gi ligangla kendo nyipongʼ lekegi chalo pelni mabitho, mar chamo jochan manie piny, kod joma odhier manie dier ji.
15 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.
“Chwe nigi nyiri ariyo. Giywak ni, ‘Miwa! Miwa!’ “Nitie gik moko adek ma ok rom ngangʼ! Angʼwen ma ok wach ni, ‘Oromo!’
16 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)
Gin liel, ich ma ok onywol, lowo ma pi ok rom, kata mach ma ok wach ni, ‘Oromo!’ (Sheol h7585)
17 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.
“Wangʼ ma jaro wuoro, ma dagi winjo wach miyo, ibiro lodho oko kod agak manie holo, ibiro chamgi gi achudhe.
18 Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
“Nitie gik moko adek mamiya awuoro ahinya, angʼwen ma ok anyal ngʼeyo tiendgi.
19 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.
Yor ongo e kor polo, yor thuol e kor lwanda, yor yie ei nam mogingore kod yor ngʼama wuowi gi nyako.
20 Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
“Ma e yor dhako ma jachode: Ochiemo to bangʼe oyweyo dhoge, mi owach ni, ‘Ok asetimo gimoro marach.’
21 By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
“Nitie gik moko adek mateto piny, to kuom gik moko angʼwen piny ok nyal yiego:
22 By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
misumba modoko ruodh piny, kata ngʼat mofuwo mochiemo moyiengʼ,
23 By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
moro en dhako ma ok oher to okende eka mogik jatich ma nyako ma omayo dhako mondike dichwo.
24 There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
“Gik moko angʼwen matindo ni e piny, to kata kamano giriek moloyo.
25 The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
Biye gin chwech ma tekregi tin, to kata kamano gikano chiembgi e ndalo oro;
26 The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
aidha bende gin le man-gi teko matin, to giloso gondgi e kind kite,
27 The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
kata bonyo onge ruodhgi, to ka giringo gidhiyo nyime kaachiel ka gichanore ka ogend lweny.
28 The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
Kamano olele bende inyalo mako gi lwedo, to iyude kodak e ute ruoth.
29 There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
“Nitie gik moko adek ma wuodhgi lich ka irango, chutho angʼwen maringo malich miwuoro.
30 A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
Sibuor, en ratego moloyo kuom le duto, kendo onge gimoro moluoro,
31 A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
thuon gweno magar ka dwaro gwere gi wadgi, nywok, kod ruoth gi oganda mar lweny moluoro bute.
32 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.
“Ka isetimo tim fuwo ma imiyori duongʼ kendi, kata ka isechano richo, to um dhogi gi lweti!
33 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.
Mana kaka puoyo chak kelo mo, kendo goyo um chwero remo, e kaka jiwo kecho kelo lweny.”
