2 That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
Ani dhugumaan doofaa nama hundaa gadii ti; ani hubannaa namni qabu hin qabu.
3 And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
Ani ogummaa hin baranne yookaan beekumsa Isa Qulqulluu sanaa hin qabu.

Eenyutu samiitti ol baʼee deebiʼee dhufe? Kan harki isaa bubbee walitti qabe eenyu? Namni bishaan uffataan mare eenyu? Kan daarii lafaa hunda jabeessee dhaabe eenyu? Maqaan isaatii fi maqaan ilma isaa eenyu? Mee yoo beekte natti himi!

“Yaa Waaqayyo ani wantoota lama sin kadhadha; isaanis utuu hamman jirutti ana hin dhowwatin.
8 Deceitfulness - and a word of falsehood put far away from me poverty and wealth may not you give to me let devour me [the] food of allotment my.
Gowwoomsaa fi soba narraa fageessi; hiyyummaa yookaan sooruma naaf hin kennin; garuu buddeena koo guyyaa guyyaan naaf kenni.
9 Lest I should be satisfied - and I will deny and I will say who? [is] Yahweh and lest I should become impoverished and I will steal and I will seize [the] name of God my.
Yoo kanaa achii ani akka malee quufee si ganee ‘Waaqayyo eenyuu dha?’ nan jedha; yookaan hiyyoomee hatee, akkasiin maqaa Waaqa koo nan salphisa.
10 May not you slander a slave to (master his *Q(K)*) lest he should curse you and you will be held guilty.

13 A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
dhaloota iji isaa akka malee of tuulu, kan baalleen ija isaas nama tuffatutu jira;

16 Sheol and barrenness of a womb land [which] not it is satisfied water and fire [which] not it says enough. (Sheol h7585)

19 [the] way of The eagle - in the heavens [the] way of a snake on a rock [the] way of a ship in [the] heart of [the] sea and [the] way of a man with a young woman.
Karaan risaa samii irra, karaan bofaa kattaa irra, karaan doonii galaana guddaa irra, karaan dhiiraa immoo dubartii wajjin taʼuu isaa ti.
20 [is] thus - [the] way of A woman adulterous she eats and she wipes clean mouth her and she says not I have done wickedness.
