< Proverbs 30 >
1 THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.
Àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ Aguri ọmọ Jake, ọ̀rọ̀ ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ tí ọkùnrin yìí sọ fún Itieli. Sí Itieli àti sí Ukali.
2 Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
“Èmi ni aláìmòye ju nínú àwọn ènìyàn; n kò ní òye ènìyàn.
3 For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
Èmi kò tilẹ̀ kọ́ ọgbọ́n tàbí ní ìmọ̀ ẹni mímọ́ nì.
4 Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
Ta ni ó ti gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run tí ó sì padà sọ̀kalẹ̀? Ta ni ó ti kó afẹ́fẹ́ jọ sí ihò àtẹ́lẹwọ́ rẹ̀? Ta ni ó ti ta kókó omi sétí aṣọ? Ta ni ó fi gbogbo ìpìlẹ̀ ayé lélẹ̀? Kí ni orúkọ rẹ̀, àti orúkọ ọmọ rẹ̀? Sọ fún mi bí o bá mọ̀.
5 Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
“Gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run jẹ́ aláìlábùkù; òun ni ààbò fún gbogbo ẹni fi í ṣe ibi ìpamọ́ wọn.
6 Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
Má ṣe fi kún ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, àìṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò bá ọ wí yóò sì sọ ọ́ di òpùrọ́.
7 Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
“Ohun méjì ni mo ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, Olúwa; má ṣe fi wọ́n dù mí kí ń tó kú.
8 Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
Mú èké ṣíṣe àti irọ́ jìnnà sí mi; má ṣe fún mi ní òsì tàbí ọrọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n fún mi ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ mi nìkan.
9 Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
Àìṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, mo lè ní àníjù kí n sì gbàgbé rẹ kí ń sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni Olúwa?’ Tàbí kí ń di òtòṣì kí ń sì jalè kí ń sì ṣe àìbọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ Ọlọ́run mi.
10 Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
“Má ṣe ba ìránṣẹ́ lórúkọ jẹ́ lọ́dọ̀ ọ̀gá rẹ̀, kí ó má ba fi ọ́ bú, kí ìwọ má ba jẹ̀bi.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
“Àwọn kan wá ṣépè fún àwọn baba wọn tí wọn kò sì súre fún àwọn ìyá wọn.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
Àwọn tí ó mọ́ ní ojú ara wọn síbẹ̀ tí wọn kò sì mọ́ kúrò nínú èérí wọn;
13 There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
àwọn ẹni tí ojú wọn gbéga nígbà gbogbo, tí ìwolẹ̀ wọn sì kún fún ìgbéraga.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
Àwọn ẹni tí eyín wọn jẹ́ idà àwọn tí èrìgì wọn kún fún ọ̀bẹ láti jẹ àwọn tálákà run kúrò ní ilẹ̀ ayé àwọn aláìní kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
15 The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
“Eṣúṣú ni ọmọbìnrin méjì. ‘Mú wá! Mú wá!’ ní wọn ń ké. “Àwọn nǹkan mẹ́ta kan wà tí kò ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn láéláé, mẹ́rin tí kò jẹ́ wí láéláé pé, ‘Ó tó!’:
16 The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. (Sheol )
Ibojì, inú tí ó yàgàn, ilẹ̀ tí omi kì í tẹ́lọ́rùn láéláé, àti iná, tí kì í wí láéláé pé, ‘Ó tó!’ (Sheol )
17 The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
“Ojú tí ń fi baba ṣẹ̀fẹ̀, tí ó kẹ́gàn ìgbọ́ràn sí ìyá, ẹyẹ ìwò ẹ̀bá odò ni yóò yọ ọ́, igún yóò mú un jẹ.
18 There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
“Àwọn nǹkan mẹ́ta wà tí ó jẹ́ ìyàlẹ́nu fún mi, mẹ́rin tí kò yé mi,
19 The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
ipa ẹyẹ idì ní òfúrufú ipa ejò lórí àpáta ipa ọkọ̀ ojú omi lójú agbami Òkun àti ipa ọ̀nà ọkùnrin tí ó mú wúńdíá lọ́wọ́.
20 Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
“Èyí ni ọ̀nà alágbèrè obìnrin ó jẹun ó sì nu ẹnu rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, ‘N kò ṣe ohunkóhun tí kò tọ́.’
21 For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
“Lábẹ́ nǹkan mẹ́ta ni ilé ayé ti ń wárìrì lábẹ́ ohun mẹ́rin ni kò ti lè mí fín ín.
22 For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó di ọba aláìgbọ́n tí ó ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ oúnjẹ,
23 For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
obìnrin tí gbogbo ènìyàn kórìíra tí ó sì wá lọ́kọ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin tí ó gbọkọ mọ́ ọ̀gá rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
24 These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
“Àwọn ohun mẹ́rin ló kéré láyé síbẹ̀ wọ́n gbọ́n gidigidi.
25 The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
Àwọn èèrà jẹ́ aláìlágbára ẹ̀dá, síbẹ̀ wọ́n kó oúnjẹ wọn pamọ́ ní àsìkò òjò.
26 The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
Ehoro jẹ́ aláìlágbára ẹ̀dá; síbẹ̀ wọ́n ń ṣe ihò wọn sí ibi pálapàla àpáta;
27 The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
àwọn eṣú kò ní ọba, síbẹ̀ gbogbo wọ́n ń jáde lọ ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́
28 The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
Ọmọnílé fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ dì mú, síbẹ̀ a ń rí i ní ààfin ọba.
29 There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
“Àwọn ohun mẹ́ta ní ń bẹ tí ń rìn rere, ohun mẹ́rin ni ó dára púpọ̀ ní ìrìn rírìn:
30 A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
Kìnnìún, alágbára láàrín ẹranko tí kì í sá fún ohunkóhun
31 A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
Ẹsin tí a dì lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́; àti òbúkọ, àti ọba láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
32 If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
“Bí ìwọ bá ti hùwà aṣiwèrè nípa gbígbé ara rẹ ga, tàbí tí o bá ti gbèrò ibi, da ọwọ́ rẹ bo ẹnu rẹ!
33 When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
Nítorí bí fífún omi ọmú tí í mú wàrà wá, tí fífún imú sì ń mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ jáde, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni rírú ìbínú sókè í mú ìjà wá.”
