Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the burden. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:
Ty fitaro’ i Agore, ana’ Ieake: onin-drehake, tinaro’ indatiy am’ Itiele, am’ Itiele naho i Okale:
2 Surely I am brutish, unlike a man, and have not the understanding of a man;
Derendereñe te am’ondaty iabio iraho; tsy amako ty hilala’ ondaty,
3 And I have not learned wisdom, that I should have the knowledge of the Holy One.
mbore tsy nianarako ty hihitse, vaho tsy amako ty fahafohinañe i Masiñey.
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?
Ia ty nionjom-b’an-dikerañe mb’eo vaho nizotso? Ia ty nahatontoñe o tiokeo an-taña’e mivokeñe? Ia ty nañolonkoloñe o ranoo an-tsaro’e ao? Ia ty nampijadoñe o hene olon-taneo? Ia ty tahina’e, naho ty tahinan’ana’e? Naho fohi’o!
5 Every word of God is tried; He is a shield unto them that take refuge in Him.
Fonga niventeñe o tsaran’ Añahareo; ie fikalañe amo mitsolok’ ama’eo.
6 Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Ko tovoña’o o tsara’eo, fa ho trevohe’e, vaho ho zoeñe t’ie bodiake.
7 Two things have I asked of Thee; deny me them not before I die:
Roe ty raha ihalaliako ama’o; ko ifoneña’o ampara’ ty hivetrahako:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with mine allotted bread;
Ahankaño amako ze vande naho haremborake, le ko atolots’ahy ndra hararahañe ndra varabey, fahano ahy ty anjarako,
9 Lest I be full, and deny, and say: 'Who is the LORD?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.
tsy mone ho vontsin-draho vaho hitety Azo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ze o Iehovà zao? ke ho rarake iraho naho hampikametse, vaho hitera ty tahinan’ Añahareko.
10 Slander not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
Ko fosà’o ami’ty tompo’e ty mpitoroñe, kera hamatse azo re, vaho ho voa-hakeo irehe.
11 There is a generation that curse their father, and do not bless their mother.
Eo ty tariratse mitety an-drae, naho tsy mitata rene;
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
ty taminga malio amo maso’eo fe mboe tsy nisasa ami’ty haleora’e,
13 There is a generation, Oh how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
ty tariratse mievoñevoñe amo maso’eo —akore ty fiandra’ o holi-maso’eo!
14 There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their great teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
Eo ty taminga hanam-pibara ho famotsi’e naho meso ho vaza’e, hampibotsek’ o misotry an-tane atoio, naho o rarake am’ondatio.
15 The horseleech hath two daughters: 'Give, give.' There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four that say not: 'Enough':
Roe ty anake vave’ ty oletse, ‘meo, meo.’ Telo ty raha mitolom-piereñe: efatse ty tsy mahafivola ty hoe: ‘eneñe izay!’
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that saith not: 'Enough.' (Sheol h7585)
Tsy mahafivola ty hoe: ‘Soa izay’ ty tsikeokeoke, i beitsiterake, i tane tsy enen-dranoy, vaho ty afo (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young vultures shall eat it.
Ty maso miteratera rae, tsy mete avoho-drene, ho tsimohe’ o koàke am-bavataneo, vaho habotse’ ty tsimalaho tora’e.
18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
Telo ty raha loho mahalatsa ahy, efatse ty tsy rendreko;
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 with a young woman.
ty liam-bantio an-dindiñe eñe, ty lia’ ty mereñe an-damilamy eo, ty lala’ o sambo añivo riakeo, vaho ty sata’ ondaty ami’ty somondrara.
20 So is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: 'I have done no wickedness.'
Zao ty satan-karapilo: Mihinañe re naho mamò-bava vaho manao ty hoe: ‘Izaho tsy nanao raty.’
21 For three things the earth doth quake, and for four it cannot endure:
Ambane’ raha telo ty mampañezeñezeñe i taney, ambane’ ty efatse re tsy mahaleo:
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a churl when he is filled with food;
ambane’ i trètreke t’ie ty mpanjaka, vaho ty dagola, t’ie etsa-kaneñe,
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
ambane’ ty rakemba tsy kokoañe t’ie engaen-dahy, vaho ty anak-ampatañe mandova aman-drakemba’e.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
Efatse ty raha kede’ ty tane toy, songa mahihitse:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
Foko tsy maozatse o vitikeo, fe halankañe’e ami’ty asara ty haneñe;
26 The rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the crags;
fifokoa tsy fatratse o trandrakeo, fe mpandranjy traño am-bato ao;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
tsy amam-panjàka o valalao, fe mirodo ki-pirimbo-ki-pirimboñe.
28 The spider thou canst take with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
Mete tsepahem-pitàñe ty tsàtsake, f’ie añ’anjombam-panjaka ao.
29 There are three things which are stately in their march, yea, four which are stately in going:
Telo ty raha midoegadoega: efatse ty mitoandratoandra:
30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
ty liona, ie maozatse amo biby iabio, tsy eo ty itsolofiña’e;
31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; and the king, against whom there is no rising up.
i akoholahiy, naho ty oselahy, vaho ty mpanjaka miatreke i valobohòn-dahindefo’ey.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast planned devices, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Naho nanao hagegean-drehe nañonjom-batañe, ke nikilily, le tehafo am-pitàñe ty falie’o.
33 For the churning of milk bringeth forth curd, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
Toe miova ho dibera ty ronono trobotroboeñe, naho mahatontom-piantsonañe te komondroeñe, vaho mampiforoforo haviñerañe t’ie troboeñe.
