Proverbs 30
1 Words of Agur, son of Jakeh, the burden, a declaration of the man to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal: I have wearied myself [for] God, I have wearied myself [for] God, and am consumed.
Jakeh a capa Agur ak awicyih taw vemyih na ni. Thlang ing Ethiel a venawh, Ethiel ingkaw Ukal a venawh vemyih na ce kqawn hy,
2 For I am more brutish than anyone, And do not have the understanding of a man.
“Thlangkhqi anglakawh ka sim kang zak awm am awm hy.
3 Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet I know the knowledge of the Holy Ones.
Cyihnaak am cawng nyng saw, thlakciim kawng awm am sim nyng.
4 Who went up to the heavens, and comes down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What [is] His Name? And what [is] His Son’s Name? Surely you know!
Unu khanna kai nawh ak kqum law tlaih? Unu a kutawh khawhlii ak bym thai? Unu hibai ing tui ak cun? Unu khawmdek a dytnaak ak cak sak? Unu ang ming, a capa ming nak sim aw?
5 Every saying of God [is] tried, He [is] a shield to those trusting in Him.
Bawipa ak awikhqi boeih taw caawtbauh kawi am awm na, Amah ak cangnaakkhqi boeih ham ziingnaak ni.
6 Do not add to His words, lest He reason with you, And you have been found false.
Ak awikhqi ce koeh sap, cekkaataw nik coet kawm saw a qai ak kqawn thlangna awm kawp ti.
7 Two things I have asked from You, Do not withhold from me before I die.
Aw Bawipa, them pakkhih ni thoeh nyng; ka thih hlanawh ni soep pe sak lah.
8 Put vanity and a lying word far from me, Do not give poverty or wealth to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,
Amak thym ingkaw qai kqawn ka venawh koeh awm sak; khawdengnaak ingkaw boeinaak awm koen ni pe, my ngawi ai tat buh mah ni pe.
9 Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, “Who [is] YHWH?” And lest I am poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the Name of my God.
Cekkataw boei nyng saw nang nim hilh kawng nyng saw 'Bawipa taw a u nu?' ti hau kawng nyng. Amawh ka kawdeng awhawm qu kawng nyng saw na thang nim ceh hau kawng nyng.
10 Do not accuse a servant to his lord, Lest he disapprove of you, and you are found guilty.
Tamnaa ce a boei venna koeh theet, quun nik khy pe kawm saw, nak khanawh thawlhnaak tla kaw.
11 A generation lightly esteems their father, And does not bless their mother.
A pa quun khy pe nawh, a nu amak kyihcah thlang awm hy.
12 A generation—pure in their own eyes, But not washed from their own filth.
Amah poeknaak awh ak ciimna ak ngai qu thlang awm nawh; cehlai a thawlhnaak caihsakna am awm hy.
13 A generation—how high are their eyes, Indeed, their eyelids are lifted up.
Khawpoek saang sak nawh hepnaak ing thlang ak toek awm hy.
14 A generation—their teeth [are] swords, And their jaw-teeth [are] knives, To consume the poor from earth, And the needy from [among] men.
A haa cimsum amyihna awm nawh, khawmdek awhkaw khawngdengkhqi ingkaw ak voetvaikhqi daih hamna cimca ing ak be thlang awm hy.
15 To the leech [are] two daughters—Give! Give! Behold, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said “Sufficiency”;
“Ni pe hlah, ni pe hlah,” tinawh ak khyy canu pakkhih ak ta litno awm hy. Amak phyi thai tlaih them pakthum awm hy, “Khoek hawh ny,” amak ti tlaih them puphli awm hy.
16 Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth—it [is] not satisfied [with] water, And fire—it has not said, “Sufficiency,” (Sheol h7585)
Phyi, ca ak qeeng phoen, tui amak phyi thai deklai ingkaw “khoek hy,” amak ti man mai awm hy. (Sheol h7585)
17 An eye that mocks at a father, And despises to obey a mother, Ravens of the valley dig it out, And young eagles eat it.
A pa ak thekhanaak ingkaw a nuk awi ak hep mik taw lamawh ak ding vangaak ing cuk kawm saw; huu ing a sa ai pe kaw.
18 Three things have been too wonderful for me, Indeed, four that I have not known:
Kawpoek ak kyi sak ik-oeih pakthum awm nawh am kang zaaksim ik-oeih pupthli awm hy.
19 The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth.
Khanna kaw huu ang dingnaak lam, Luk khan awhkaw khqui a cehnaak lam, tuicunli awhkaw lawng a cehnaak lam ingkaw tangpa ing nula a pannaak lam tloek ce ni.
20 So—the way of an adulterous woman, She has eaten and has wiped her mouth, And has said, “I have not done iniquity.”
Cemyih ceni samphaih nu a cehnaak lam taw; Ce nula ing ai nawh am kha a huih coengawh, “Them amak thum am sai nyng,” ti hy.
21 For three things has earth been troubled, And for four—it is not able to bear:
Ve them pakthum ak caming khawmdek thyyn nawh ve them pupthli awh yh thainaak am ta hy.
22 For a servant when he reigns, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,
Tamnaa ce sangpahrangna coeng nawh, thlakqaw ing aawk ai ak bena ta hy.
23 For a hated one when she rules, And a maidservant when she succeeds her mistress.
A mi hoet nula ing vaa ta nawh tamnaa nu ing a boei nu a qo pang hy.
24 Four [are] little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise:
Khawmdek khanawh ik-oeih ak zawi soeih pupthli awm nawh, cehlai cekkhqi taw ak cyi soeih na awm uhy.
25 The ants [are] a people not strong, And they prepare their food in summer,
Liing ve ak tha ak zawi soeihna bi ak sai na awm moe, khawhqai awh aawk ai cun hy.
26 hyraxes [are] a people not strong, And they place their house in a rock,
Sathel ing tha a khoehca ni a taak hlai, lungnu thelpang khuiawh a im ta hy.
27 There is no king to the locust, And it goes out—each one shouting,
Khamkhawkkhqi ing sangpahrang am ta uhy; cehlai kawoet cana cet haih thai uhy.
28 A spider with two hands takes hold, And is in the palaces of a king.
Satuiqai ing kuting tuuk thaina awm moe, sangpahrang imawh awmnaak hyn ta hy.
29 There are three going well, Indeed, four are good in going:
Qypawmnaak ing ak saangna khaw ak kham ik-oeih pakthum awm nawh ypawm cana ak cet ik-oeih pupthli awm hy:
30 An old lion—mighty among beasts, That does not turn back from the face of any,
Samthyn taw qamsa chunglak awh ak thamah soeih na awm nawh, ikawmyih ing awm a hu am voei sak khawi,
31 A girt one of the loins, Also a male goat, And a king—troops with him.
Ak thamah aihlyi kit, memcai sing ingkaw qalkap ing ak chungkoep sangpahrang ce ni.
32 If you have been foolish in lifting yourself up, And if you have devised evil—hand to mouth!
Namah ingkaw namah thangsaknaak ham amak leek them na sai mai awh aw, amak leek ik-oeih poeknaak na taak mai awhtaw, nam kha cyyp sak.
33 For the churning of milk brings out butter, And the wringing of the nose brings out blood, And the forcing of anger brings out strife!
Suktui hqoet khingnaak ing suktui khal sak nawh ni hmaqawng nawi khingnaak ing thi ak cawn sak amyihna kawsonaak ing hqo hqitnaak cawn sak hy.
