Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur, son of Jakeh, [even] the oracle, —The utterance of the man, for Ithiel, for Ithiel and Ucal.
Àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ Aguri ọmọ Jake, ọ̀rọ̀ ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ tí ọkùnrin yìí sọ fún Itieli. Sí Itieli àti sí Ukali.
2 Surely, more brutish, am, I, than any man, nor doth, the understanding of a son of earth, pertain to me;
“Èmi ni aláìmòye ju nínú àwọn ènìyàn; n kò ní òye ènìyàn.
3 Neither have I learned wisdom, nor, the knowledge of the Holy Ones, can I acquire.
Èmi kò tilẹ̀ kọ́ ọgbọ́n tàbí ní ìmọ̀ ẹni mímọ́ nì.
4 Who hath ascended the heavens and then descended? Who hath gathered the wind into his two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what the name of his son, when thou knowest?
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 Every saying of God is refined, A shield, is, he, to them who seek refuge in him.
“Gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run jẹ́ aláìlábùkù; òun ni ààbò fún gbogbo ẹni fi í ṣe ibi ìpamọ́ wọn.
6 Do not add unto his words, lest he convict thee, and thou be found false.
Má ṣe fi kún ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, àìṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò bá ọ wí yóò sì sọ ọ́ di òpùrọ́.
7 Two things, have I asked of thee, withhold them not from me, ere yet I die:
“Ohun méjì ni mo ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, Olúwa; má ṣe fi wọ́n dù mí kí ń tó kú.
8 Vanity and falsehood, remove far from me, Neither poverty nor riches, give me, Feed me with the food appointed 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 Lest I be full, and deny, and say—Who is Yahweh? or lest I be impoverished and steal, and do violence to the Name of my God.
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 Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he revile thee, and thou be found guilty.
“Má ṣe ba ìránṣẹ́ lórúkọ jẹ́ lọ́dọ̀ ọ̀gá rẹ̀, kí ó má ba fi ọ́ bú, kí ìwọ má ba jẹ̀bi.
11 A generation! Its father, it revileth, and, its mother, it doth not bless.
“Àwọn kan wá ṣépè fún àwọn baba wọn tí wọn kò sì súre fún àwọn ìyá wọn.
12 A generation! Pure in its own eyes, yet, from its filth, hath it not been bathed,
Àwọn tí ó mọ́ ní ojú ara wọn síbẹ̀ tí wọn kò sì mọ́ kúrò nínú èérí wọn;
13 A generation! How lofty are its eyes, and its eyelashes uplifted.
àwọn ẹni tí ojú wọn gbéga nígbà gbogbo, tí ìwolẹ̀ wọn sì kún fún ìgbéraga.
14 A generation! Swords, are its teeth, and, knives, its incisors, —to devour the humbled out of the earth, and the needy, 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 vampire, hath two daughters, Give! Give! Three, there are will not be satisfied, four, have not said, Enough!
“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 Hades, and barrenness, —A land not satisfied with water, and fire, that saith not, Enough! (Sheol h7585)
Ibojì, inú tí ó yàgàn, ilẹ̀ tí omi kì í tẹ́lọ́rùn láéláé, àti iná, tí kì í wí láéláé pé, ‘Ó tó!’ (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young of the eagle shall eat 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 Three, things there are, too difficult for me, yea, four, which I do not understand:
“Àwọn nǹkan mẹ́ta wà tí ó jẹ́ ìyàlẹ́nu fún mi, mẹ́rin tí kò yé mi,
19 The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent on the rock, —the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.
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 So, is the way of a woman committing adultery, —she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no iniquity!
“Èyí ni ọ̀nà alágbèrè obìnrin ó jẹun ó sì nu ẹnu rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, ‘N kò ṣe ohunkóhun tí kò tọ́.’
21 Under three things, a land is stirred, yea, under four, she cannot bear up:
“Lábẹ́ nǹkan mẹ́ta ni ilé ayé ti ń wárìrì lábẹ́ ohun mẹ́rin ni kò ti lè mí fín ín.
22 Under a servant, when he reigneth, and a base man, when he is surfeited with food;
Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó di ọba aláìgbọ́n tí ó ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ oúnjẹ,
23 Under a hateful woman, when she is married, and a handmaid when she driveth out her mistress.
obìnrin tí gbogbo ènìyàn kórìíra tí ó sì wá lọ́kọ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin tí ó gbọkọ mọ́ ọ̀gá rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
24 Four, things there are, the small of the earth, —yet, they, are wiser than the wise:
“Àwọn ohun mẹ́rin ló kéré láyé síbẹ̀ wọ́n gbọ́n gidigidi.
25 The ants, a people, not strong, —yet prepare they, in summer, their food;
Àwọn èèrà jẹ́ aláìlágbára ẹ̀dá, síbẹ̀ wọ́n kó oúnjẹ wọn pamọ́ ní àsìkò òjò.
26 The conies, a people of, no power, yet set they, among the crags, their house;
Ehoro jẹ́ aláìlágbára ẹ̀dá; síbẹ̀ wọ́n ń ṣe ihò wọn sí ibi pálapàla àpáta;
27 King, is there none, to, the locusts, —yet go forth in swarms, do they all;
àwọn eṣú kò ní ọba, síbẹ̀ gbogbo wọ́n ń jáde lọ ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́
28 The lizard, with hands, reneweth its hold, —yet, the same, is in the palaces of the king.
Ọmọnílé fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ dì mú, síbẹ̀ a ń rí i ní ààfin ọba.
29 Three, things there are which step along well, ye, four, which excel in going:
“Àwọn ohun mẹ́ta ní ń bẹ tí ń rìn rere, ohun mẹ́rin ni ó dára púpọ̀ ní ìrìn rírìn:
30 The lion, hero among beasts, which turneth aside from the face of no one;
Kìnnìún, alágbára láàrín ẹranko tí kì í sá fún ohunkóhun
31 The greyhound, or the he-goat, —and a king, having a band of soldiers with him.
Ẹsin tí a dì lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́; àti òbúkọ, àti ọba láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
32 If thou hast acted basely by lifting thyself up, —if thou hast plotted evil, [put thy] hand to [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 Surely, the pressing of milk, bringeth forth curd, and, the pressing of the nose, bringeth forth blood, and, the pressing of wrath, bringeth forth 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.”
