Solomona 30
1 HE mau wahi olelo a Agura ke keiki a Iake. He wanana; na ke kanaka i hoike mai ia Itiela; ia Itiela laua me Ukala.
THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.
2 Owau ka mea hupo loa o na kanaka, Aole o'u wahi noonoo kanaka.
Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
3 Aole i loaa ia u ka naauao, Aole hoi o'u ike i ka Mea hemolele.
For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
4 Owai ka mea i pii ae i ka lani, a i iho mai hoi? Owai ka mea i hooiliili i ka makani ma kona lima? Owai ka mea i hoopaa i na wai ma kona aahu? Owai ka mea i hoonoho i na welelau a pau o ka honua? Owai hoi kona inoa, owai ka inoa o kana keiki? E hoike mai paha oe.
Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
5 Pau loa na huaolelo a ke Akua i ka maemae; Oia ka palekaua i ka poe paulele aku ia ia.
Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
6 Mai hui ae oe i kekahi mea me kana mau huaolelo, O ao mai oia ia oe, a e lilo oe i mea wahahee.
Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
7 Elua mau mea a'u i noi aku ai ia oe, Mai aua oe mamua o ko'u make ana.
Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
8 O ka lapuwale, a o ka wahahee, E hookaawale ae mai o'u aku nei; Mai haawi mai ia'u i ka ilihune, aole hoi i ka waiwai; E hanai mai ia'u i ka ai ku pono no'u;
Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
9 O hookuku ai au, a hoole aku hoi, Me ka i ana, Owai la o Iehova? O ilihune hoi au a aihue iho, A hoohiki ino i ka inoa o ko'u Akua.
Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
10 Mai hoopii oe i ke kauwa imua o kona haku, O hooino mai oia ia oe, a e lilo oe i lawehala.
Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
11 O kekahi hanauna, hoino no i ka makuakane, Aole hoi i hoomaikai i ka makuwahine.
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
12 O kekahi hanauna hoi, he maemae ia i ko lakou maka iho, Aole hoi i holoiia ka paumaele.
There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
13 O kekahi hanauna, hookano loa na maka o lakou! Hookiekie hoi na lihilihi o lakou.
There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
14 O kekahi hanauna, he mau pahikaua ko lakou niho, He mau pahi hoi ko lakou mau kui. E ai ana i ka poe ilihune mai ka honua aku, A o ka poe nele hoi iwaena o na kanaka.
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
15 He mau kaikamahine elua ka ka omokoko, E i ana, E ho mai, e ho mai, ea. Akolu no mea piha ole, Eha hoi, aole e olelo mai, Ua ana:
The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
16 O ka lua, o ka opu pa; A o ka honua i mauu ole i ka wai; A o ke ahi, aole ana olelo mai, Ua nui. (Sheol h7585)
The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. (Sheol h7585)
17 O ka maka i hoowahawaha i kona makuakane, A hoole hoi aole e malama i kona makuwahine, E kiko iho ka poe koraka o ke awawa ia mea, A e ai iho no ka poe aito opiopio.
The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
18 Ekolu mau mea kupanaha loa ia'u, Eha hoi, aole au i ike iho.
There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
19 O ka aoao o ka aito ma ka lewa; O ka aoao o ka nahesa maluna o ka pohaku; O ka aoao o ka moku iwaena o ka moana; A o ka aoao o ke kanaka me ka wahine puupaa.
The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
20 Peneia ka aoao o ka wahine hookamakama, Ai iho la oia a holoi i kona nuku, A olelo ae, Aole au i hana hewa.
Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
21 Ekolu mau mea e haunaele ai ka honua, Eha hoi e hiki ole ai ke hoomanawanui:
For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
22 O ke kauwa ke lilo i alii; O ka mea lapuwale ke maona i ka ai;
For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
23 O ka wahine huhu wale ke mareia oia; A o ke kauwawahine he hooilina o kona hakuwahine.
For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
24 Eha mau mea liilii loa ma ka honua nei, A ua akamai loa no nae:
These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
25 O ka poe anonanona, he poe ikaika ole lakou, Hoomakaukau no nae i ke kau i ka lakou ai;
The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
26 O ka poe rabita, he poe nawaliwali lakou, Ma na pohaku hoi i hana'i i ko lakou mau hale;
The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
27 O ka poe uhini, aole o lakou alii, Hele papa no hoi lakou.
The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
28 O ka moo, lalau no oia me kona mau lima, Aia no ia ma na hale hanohano o ke alii.
The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
29 Ekolu mau mea, i maikai ka hele ana, Eha hoi i maikai ke hele ae.
There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
30 O ka liona ka mea ikaika loa o na holoholona, Aole hoi oia e huli ae mai ke alo aku o lakou a pau;
A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
31 O ka ilio hahai, a o ke kao kane hoi, A o ke alii, hiki ole ke ku e ia ia.
A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
32 Ina he lapuwale oe i kou hookiekie ana, Ina paha he manao ino kou, e kau ana ka lima ma ka waha.
If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
33 Ma ka hooluliluli ana i ka waiu e puka mai ai ka bata, Ma ka uwi ana i ka ihu e kahe mai ai ke koko; A ma ka hooioi ana i ka huhu e puka mai ai hoi ka hakaka.
When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
