< Proverbs 30 >

1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
Dagiti pagsasao ni Agur nga anak a lalaki ni Jakeh- ti mensahe manipud iti Dios: Imbutaktak daytoy a lalaki kenni Ithiel, kada Ithiel ken Ucal:
2 "Surely I am the most ignorant man, and do not have a man's understanding.
Pudno nga ad-adda a kaslaak iti ayup ngem iti siasinoman a tao, ken awan ti pannakaawatko a kas iti tao.
3 I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
Saanko a naadal ti kinasirib, wenno addaanak iti pannakaamo maipapan iti Nasantoan.
4 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established every part of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?
Siasino ti nagpangato iti langit ket bimmaba? Siasino ti nangurnong iti angin babaen kadagiti imana? Siasino ti nangurnong kadagiti danum babaen iti pagan-anayna? Siasino ti nangipatakder kadagiti amin a pungto ti daga? Ania ti naganna, ken ania ti nagan ti anakna? Sigurado nga ammoyo!
5 "Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Napadasen ti amin a sasao ti Dios, kalasag isuna kadagiti agkamkamang kenkuana.
6 Do not add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
Saanmo a nayonan dagiti sasaona, di la ket tubngarennaka, ket mapaneknekankanto nga ulbod.
7 "Two things I have asked of you; do not deny me before I die:
Dua a banag ti dawatek kenka, saanmo ida nga ipaidam kaniak sakbay a matayak:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;
Iyadayom kaniak ti kinaubbaw ken kinaulbod. Saanmo nga ited kaniak ti kinapanglaw wenno kinabaknang, itedmo laeng iti taraon a kasapulak.
9 lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is YHWH?' or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
Ta no addaanak ti adu unay, ilibakkanto ken ibagak a, “Siasino ni Yahweh?” Wenno no pumanglawak, agtakawakto ket ibabainkonto ti nagan ti Diosko.
10 "Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
Saanmo a dadaelen ti dayaw ti tagabu iti sangoanan ti amona, di la ket ilunodnaka ket agbiddutka.
11 There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn't bless their mother.
Ti maysa a henerasion a mangilunod iti amada ken saanda a bendisionan ti inada,
12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.
dayta ti henerasion a nadalus kadagiti bukodda a mata, ngem saanda a nadalusan manipud kadagiti rugitda.
13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes. Their eyelids are lifted up.
Dayta ti henerasion—anian a nagtangsit dagiti matada ken nakangato dagiti kalub ti matada! —
14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.
isuda ti henerasion a kasla kampilan dagiti ngipenda, ken kampit dagiti pangalda, tapno sikbabenda dagiti napanglaw iti daga ken dagiti agkasapulan manipud iti sangkataoan.
15 "The leach has two daughters: 'Give, give.' "There are three things that are never satisfied; four that do not say, 'Enough:'
Adda dua nga annak a babai ti alinta? “Ikkannak ken ikkannak,” ti sangitda. Adda tallo a banag a saan pulos a mapmapnek, uppat a saan pulos a mangibaga iti “Uston”:
16 Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn't say, 'Enough.' (Sheol h7585)
Lubong dagiti natay, ti aanakan a saan a makaipaay iti anak, ti daga a mawaw iti danum ken ti apuy a saan pulos a mangibaga iti “Uston.” (Sheol h7585)
17 "The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.
Ti mata a mang-uyaw iti ama, ken ti mang-uyaw iti panagtulnog iti ina, sippetento nga iruar dagiti uwak iti tanap dagiti matana, ket kanento isuna dagiti buitre.
18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I do not understand:
Adda tallo a nakaskasdaaw unay para kaniak, uppat a saanko a maawatan:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maiden.
ti dalan ti agila iti langit; ti dalan ti uleg iti bato; ti dalan ti bangka iti tengnga ti baybay; ken ti wagas ti lalaki iti balasang.
20 "So is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'
Daytoy ti wagas ti makikamkammalala—mangan isuna sana punasan ti ngiwatna ken ibagana nga “Awan ti nagbasolak”
21 "For three things the earth tremble, and under four, it can't bear up:
Kadagiti tallo a banag agkintayeg ti daga, ti maikauppat ti saanna a maibturan:
22 For a servant when he is king; a fool when he is filled with food;
ti tagabu nga agbalin nga ari; no mabsog iti taraon ti maag;
23 for an unloved woman when she is married; and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
no makiassawa ti babai a mabusbusor, ken no sublaten ti babaonen ti saad ti amona a babai.
24 "There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:
Uppat a banbanag iti daga ket babassit ngem nasisiribda unay:
25 the ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer.
dagiti kuton ket parsua a saan a nabileg, ngem agisagsaganada kadagiti taraonda iti kalgaw;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.
dagiti koneho ket saan a napigsa a parsua, ngem ar-aramidenda dagiti pagtaenganda kadagiti batbato.
27 The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.
Dagiti dudon ket awan ti arida, ngem nakalinyada amin nga agmartia.
28 You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.
Kadagiti alutiit, maiggamam daytoy kadagiti imam, ngem masarakan ida kadagiti palasio dagiti ari.
29 "There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going:
Adda tallo a nalimbong iti addangda, uppat a nalimbong iti pannagnada:
30 The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn't turn away for any;
ti leon, ti kapigsaan kadagiti amin nga atap nga ayup- saan a tumallikud daytoy iti aniaman;
31 the greyhound, the male goat also; and the king against whom there is no rising up.
maysa a nataer a kawitan; maysa a kalding, ken maysa nga ari nga adda iti abayna dagiti soldadona.
32 "If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth.
No nagbalinka a maag, a mangidaydayaw iti bagim, wenno no agpangpanggepka iti dakes- iyaputmo ti imam iti ngiwatmo.
33 For as the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood; so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife."
Kas iti panangbatil iti gatas a mangpatpataud iti mantikilya, ken kas iti panagdara ti agong ti maysa a tao no matiritir daytoy, kastoy met laeng ti mapasamak iti unget a mangpataud ti apa.
