< Dagiti Proverbio 30 >
1 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:
These are the words of Agur son of Jakeh—the burden that this man declared to Ithiel: “I am weary, O God, and worn out.
2 Pudno nga ad-adda a kaslaak iti ayup ngem iti siasinoman a tao, ken awan ti pannakaawatko a kas iti tao.
Surely I am the most ignorant of men, and I lack the understanding of a man.
3 Saanko a naadal ti kinasirib, wenno addaanak iti pannakaamo maipapan iti Nasantoan.
I have not learned wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
4 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!
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son— surely you know!
5 Napadasen ti amin a sasao ti Dios, kalasag isuna kadagiti agkamkamang kenkuana.
Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
6 Saanmo a nayonan dagiti sasaona, di la ket tubngarennaka, ket mapaneknekankanto nga ulbod.
Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7 Dua a banag ti dawatek kenka, saanmo ida nga ipaidam kaniak sakbay a matayak:
Two things I ask of You— do not refuse me before I die:
8 Iyadayom kaniak ti kinaubbaw ken kinaulbod. Saanmo nga ited kaniak ti kinapanglaw wenno kinabaknang, itedmo laeng iti taraon a kasapulak.
Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.
9 Ta no addaanak ti adu unay, ilibakkanto ken ibagak a, “Siasino ni Yahweh?” Wenno no pumanglawak, agtakawakto ket ibabainkonto ti nagan ti Diosko.
Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God.
10 Saanmo a dadaelen ti dayaw ti tagabu iti sangoanan ti amona, di la ket ilunodnaka ket agbiddutka.
Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.
11 Ti maysa a henerasion a mangilunod iti amada ken saanda a bendisionan ti inada,
There is a generation of those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
12 dayta ti henerasion a nadalus kadagiti bukodda a mata, ngem saanda a nadalusan manipud kadagiti rugitda.
There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.
13 Dayta ti henerasion—anian a nagtangsit dagiti matada ken nakangato dagiti kalub ti matada! —
There is a generation—how haughty are their eyes and pretentious are their glances—
14 isuda ti henerasion a kasla kampilan dagiti ngipenda, ken kampit dagiti pangalda, tapno sikbabenda dagiti napanglaw iti daga ken dagiti agkasapulan manipud iti sangkataoan.
there is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are knives, devouring the oppressed from the earth and the needy from among men.
15 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”:
The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
16 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 )
Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’ (Sheol )
17 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.
As for the eye that mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, may the ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures devour it.
18 Adda tallo a nakaskasdaaw unay para kaniak, uppat a saanko a maawatan:
There are three things too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:
19 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.
the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.
20 Daytoy ti wagas ti makikamkammalala—mangan isuna sana punasan ti ngiwatna ken ibagana nga “Awan ti nagbasolak”
This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
21 Kadagiti tallo a banag agkintayeg ti daga, ti maikauppat ti saanna a maibturan:
Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:
22 ti tagabu nga agbalin nga ari; no mabsog iti taraon ti maag;
a servant who becomes king, a fool who is filled with food,
23 no makiassawa ti babai a mabusbusor, ken no sublaten ti babaonen ti saad ti amona a babai.
an unloved woman who marries, and a maidservant who supplants her mistress.
24 Uppat a banbanag iti daga ket babassit ngem nasisiribda unay:
Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:
25 dagiti kuton ket parsua a saan a nabileg, ngem agisagsaganada kadagiti taraonda iti kalgaw;
The ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
26 dagiti koneho ket saan a napigsa a parsua, ngem ar-aramidenda dagiti pagtaenganda kadagiti batbato.
the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;
27 Dagiti dudon ket awan ti arida, ngem nakalinyada amin nga agmartia.
the locusts have no king, yet they all advance in formation;
28 Kadagiti alutiit, maiggamam daytoy kadagiti imam, ngem masarakan ida kadagiti palasio dagiti ari.
and the lizard can be caught in one’s hands, yet it is found in the palaces of kings.
29 Adda tallo a nalimbong iti addangda, uppat a nalimbong iti pannagnada:
There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:
30 ti leon, ti kapigsaan kadagiti amin nga atap nga ayup- saan a tumallikud daytoy iti aniaman;
a lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything;
31 maysa a nataer a kawitan; maysa a kalding, ken maysa nga ari nga adda iti abayna dagiti soldadona.
a strutting rooster; a he-goat; and a king with his army around him.
32 No nagbalinka a maag, a mangidaydayaw iti bagim, wenno no agpangpanggepka iti dakes- iyaputmo ti imam iti ngiwatmo.
If you have foolishly exalted yourself or if you have plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.
33 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.
For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”
