Pwovèb 30
1 Men pawòl Agou, pitit Jake, moun peyi Masa. Men deklarasyon nonm lan te fè: Mwen bouke, Bondye! Mwen bouke, Bondye! Mwen pa kapab ankò!
[the] words of - Agur [the] son of Jakeh the oracle [the] utterance of the man to Ithiel to Ithiel and Ukal.
2 Mwen sòt pase panyen pèsi. Se pa moun mwen ye. Mwen pa gen lespri tankou tout moun.
That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
3 Mwen pa janm konnen sa ki rele konesans. Mwen pa konprann anyen nan bagay Bondye.
And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
4 Ki moun ki janm moute nan syèl, apre sa ki redesann sou latè? Ki moun ki janm ranmase van yo nan men l'? Ki moun ki janm mare dlo yo nan rad li? Ki moun ki fikse limit tè a? Ki jan li rele? Ki jan pitit li rele? Di m' non, si ou konnen?
Who? has he gone up heaven - and has he come down? who? has he gathered [the] wind - in hands his who? has he wrapped [the] waters - in cloak who? has he set up all [the] ends of [the] earth what? [is] name his and what? [is] [the] name of son his for you know.
5 Bondye toujou kenbe pawòl li. Li pwoteje tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li.
Every word of God [is] refined [is] a shield he for [those who] take refuge in him.
6 Pa fè l' di sa li pa di. Si ou fè sa, l'a fè ou repwòch, l'a fè tout moun wè se mantò ou ye.
May not you add to words his lest he should rebuke you and you will be proved a liar.
7 Bondye, se de bagay ase mwen mande ou: Tanpri, pa refize m' yo anvan mwen mouri.
Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.
8 Men yo: Pa kite m' bay manti pou m' twonpe moun. Pa fè m' ni rich ni pòv. Ban m' kantite manje mwen bezwen pou m' viv la.
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.
9 Si mwen gen twòp, m'a vire do ba ou, m'a di mwen pa konnen ki moun ou ye. Si mwen pa gen ase, m'a vòlò, m'a fè yo pase ou nan betiz.
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.
10 Pa janm pale yon domestik mal devan mèt li. L'a madichonnen ou, l'a fè ou peye bouch ou.
May not you slander a slave to (master his *Q(K)*) lest he should curse you and you will be held guilty.
11 Gen yon kalite moun k'ap bay papa yo madichon, ki pa gen konsiderasyon pou manman yo.
A generation father its it curses and mother its not it blesses.
12 Gen yon lòt kalite moun ki konprann yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Men, pi mal pase yo nanpwen.
A generation [is] pure in own eyes its and from excrement its not it has been washed.
13 Gen yon lòt kalite moun ankò ki mete nan tèt yo yo pa kanmarad pesonn, wa pa kouzen yo.
A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
14 Gen yon lòt kalite moun, se bèt nan bwa yo ye. Pou yo viv, y'ap devore malere yo, y'ap pwofite sou pòv yo.
A generation - [are] swords teeth its and [are] knives jaw bones its to devour afflicted [people] from [the] earth and needy [people] from humankind.
15 Sansi gen de pitit fi: tou de gen menm non, yo rele: Ban mwen! Ban mwen! Gen twa bagay ki pa janm di ase. Sa m'ap di la a! Gen kat bagay ki pa janm di se kont.
[belong] to A leech - two daughters give - give three [things] they not they are satisfied four [things] not they say enough.
16 Men yo: Se peyi kote mò yo ye a, se fanm ki pa ka fè pitit, se tè a ki pa janm bwè kont dlo li, epi se dife. Bagay sa yo pa janm di ase. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol and barrenness of a womb land [which] not it is satisfied water and fire [which] not it says enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 Yon pitit ki pase papa l' nan betiz, ki pa respekte lòd manman l', chen gen pou devore kadav li nan raje, zwezo nan bwa va manje grenn je li.
An eye - [which] it mocks a father so it may despise obedience of a mother they will pluck out it [the] ravens of [the] wadi and they will eat it [the] young of an eagle.
18 Gen twa bagay mwen pa janm ka konprann. Sa m'ap di la a! Gen kat bagay konsa.
Three [things] they they are [too] wonderful for me (and four [things] *Q(k)*) not I know them.
19 Men yo: Se jan malfini plane nan syèl la, se jan koulèv mache sou wòch, se jan bato kouri sou lanmè, se jan gason ak fanm rive fè lamou.
[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.
20 Men ki jan fanm k'ap twonpe mari yo fè: Lè yo fin fè sa y'ap fè a, yo benyen byen pwòp, epi yo di: Mwen pa fè anyen ki mal.
[is] thus - [the] way of A woman adulterous she eats and she wipes clean mouth her and she says not I have done wickedness.
21 Gen twa bagay ki fè latè tranble. Sa m'ap di la a! Gen kat bagay moun pa ka sipòte.
Under three [things] it quakes [the] earth and under four [things] not it is able to bear up.
22 Men yo: Se yon esklav ki rive chèf, se yon moun sòt ki gen tou sa li bezwen,
Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
23 se yon fanm ki pa t' janm jwenn moun renmen l' epi ki resi mare yon nòs, se yon sèvant ki pran plas metrès li.
Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.
24 Gen kat ti bèt sou latè, gen lespri pase yo nanpwen:
Four [things] they [are] small [things] of [the] earth and they [are] wise [things] made wise.
25 Se foumi: yo tou fèb, men yo pase tout sezon chalè ap fè pwovizyon mete la.
The ants [are] a people not strong and they prepared in the summer food their.
26 Se chat mawon: yo pa pi fò pase sa. Men, yo fè kay yo nan twou wòch.
Rock badgers [are] a people not mighty and they made in the rock[s] home their.
27 Se krikèt vèt: yo pa gen chèf, men yo mache pa bann.
A king not [belongs] to the locust and it went out dividing all of it.
28 Se zandolit: ou ka pran yo nan men ou. Men, ou jwenn yo nan palè wa yo.
A lizard in [two] hands you will grasp and it [is] in [the] palaces of a king.
29 Gen twa bagay ki bèl lè y'ap mache. Sa m'ap di la a! Gen kat bagay ki gen bèl demach:
Three [things] they [are] doing well of step and four [things] [are] doing well to walk.
30 Se lyon, se li ki pi fò nan tout zannimo, li pa pè yo yonn.
A lion [is] mighty among the animal[s] and not it turns back from before anything.
31 Se bouk kabrit. Se chwal sele bride. Se wa lè y'ap mache devan lame yo.
A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
32 Si ou te sòt jouk pou ou te rive fè grandizè, kalkile sou sa ou fè a: Pe bouch ou!
If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
33 Si ou bat lèt, l'ap fè bè. Si ou frape yon moun sou men l', l'ap senyen. Si ou nan pouse dife, ou nan gwo kont.
For squeezing of milk it brings forth butter and squeezing of a nose it brings forth blood and squeezing of anger it brings forth strife.
