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.
Ty fitaro’ i Agore, ana’ Ieake: onin-drehake, tinaro’ indatiy am’ Itiele, am’ Itiele naho i Okale:
2 For I am more brutish than anyone, And do not have the understanding of a man.
Derendereñe te am’ondaty iabio iraho; tsy amako ty hilala’ ondaty,
3 Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet I know the knowledge of the Holy Ones.
mbore tsy nianarako ty hihitse, vaho tsy amako ty fahafohinañe i Masiñey.
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!
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 saying of God [is] tried, He [is] a shield to those trusting in Him.
Fonga niventeñe o tsaran’ Añahareo; ie fikalañe amo mitsolok’ ama’eo.
6 Do not add to His words, lest He reason with you, And you have been found false.
Ko tovoña’o o tsara’eo, fa ho trevohe’e, vaho ho zoeñe t’ie bodiake.
7 Two things I have asked from You, Do not withhold from me before I die.
Roe ty raha ihalaliako ama’o; ko ifoneña’o ampara’ ty hivetrahako:
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,
Ahankaño amako ze vande naho haremborake, le ko atolots’ahy ndra hararahañe ndra varabey, fahano ahy ty anjarako,
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.
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 Do not accuse a servant to his lord, Lest he disapprove of you, and you are found guilty.
Ko fosà’o ami’ty tompo’e ty mpitoroñe, kera hamatse azo re, vaho ho voa-hakeo irehe.
11 A generation lightly esteems their father, And does not bless their mother.
Eo ty tariratse mitety an-drae, naho tsy mitata rene;
12 A generation—pure in their own eyes, But not washed from their own filth.
ty taminga malio amo maso’eo fe mboe tsy nisasa ami’ty haleora’e,
13 A generation—how high are their eyes, Indeed, their eyelids are lifted up.
ty tariratse mievoñevoñe amo maso’eo —akore ty fiandra’ o holi-maso’eo!
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.
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 To the leech [are] two daughters—Give! Give! Behold, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said “Sufficiency”;
Roe ty anake vave’ ty oletse, ‘meo, meo.’ Telo ty raha mitolom-piereñe: efatse ty tsy mahafivola ty hoe: ‘eneñe izay!’
16 Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth—it [is] not satisfied [with] water, And fire—it has not said, “Sufficiency,” (Sheol h7585)
Tsy mahafivola ty hoe: ‘Soa izay’ ty tsikeokeoke, i beitsiterake, i tane tsy enen-dranoy, vaho ty afo (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.
Ty maso miteratera rae, tsy mete avoho-drene, ho tsimohe’ o koàke am-bavataneo, vaho habotse’ ty tsimalaho tora’e.
18 Three things have been too wonderful for me, Indeed, four that I have not known:
Telo ty raha loho mahalatsa ahy, efatse ty tsy rendreko;
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.
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—the way of an adulterous woman, She has eaten and has wiped her mouth, And has said, “I have not done iniquity.”
Zao ty satan-karapilo: Mihinañe re naho mamò-bava vaho manao ty hoe: ‘Izaho tsy nanao raty.’
21 For three things has earth been troubled, And for four—it is not able to bear:
Ambane’ raha telo ty mampañezeñezeñe i taney, ambane’ ty efatse re tsy mahaleo:
22 For a servant when he reigns, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,
ambane’ i trètreke t’ie ty mpanjaka, vaho ty dagola, t’ie etsa-kaneñe,
23 For a hated one when she rules, And a maidservant when she succeeds her mistress.
ambane’ ty rakemba tsy kokoañe t’ie engaen-dahy, vaho ty anak-ampatañe mandova aman-drakemba’e.
24 Four [are] little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise:
Efatse ty raha kede’ ty tane toy, songa mahihitse:
25 The ants [are] a people not strong, And they prepare their food in summer,
Foko tsy maozatse o vitikeo, fe halankañe’e ami’ty asara ty haneñe;
26 hyraxes [are] a people not strong, And they place their house in a rock,
fifokoa tsy fatratse o trandrakeo, fe mpandranjy traño am-bato ao;
27 There is no king to the locust, And it goes out—each one shouting,
tsy amam-panjàka o valalao, fe mirodo ki-pirimbo-ki-pirimboñe.
28 A spider with two hands takes hold, And is in the palaces of a king.
Mete tsepahem-pitàñe ty tsàtsake, f’ie añ’anjombam-panjaka ao.
29 There are three going well, Indeed, four are good in going:
Telo ty raha midoegadoega: efatse ty mitoandratoandra:
30 An old lion—mighty among beasts, That does not turn back from the face of any,
ty liona, ie maozatse amo biby iabio, tsy eo ty itsolofiña’e;
31 A girt one of the loins, Also a male goat, And a king—troops with him.
i akoholahiy, naho ty oselahy, vaho ty mpanjaka miatreke i valobohòn-dahindefo’ey.
32 If you have been foolish in lifting yourself up, And if you have devised evil—hand to mouth!
Naho nanao hagegean-drehe nañonjom-batañe, ke nikilily, le tehafo am-pitàñe ty falie’o.
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!
Toe miova ho dibera ty ronono trobotroboeñe, naho mahatontom-piantsonañe te komondroeñe, vaho mampiforoforo haviñerañe t’ie troboeñe.
