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 sayings/messages that God gave to Agur, the son of Jakeh. [Agur wrote them] for Ithiel and Ucal.
2 Pudno nga ad-adda a kaslaak iti ayup ngem iti siasinoman a tao, ken awan ti pannakaawatko a kas iti tao.
It seems that I am very stupid; I do not deserve to be considered to be a human; I do not have the good sense that humans should have.
3 Saanko a naadal ti kinasirib, wenno addaanak iti pannakaamo maipapan iti Nasantoan.
I have not learned [how to become] wise and I do not know [much] about God.
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!
[But let me say this]: No one [RHQ] has ascended to heaven [to find out what God is like] and returned [to tell us]. No one [RHQ] has gathered/held the wind in his hand. No one [RHQ] has wrapped the water [in the ocean] in [a piece of] cloth, and no one [RHQ] has established the boundaries of the earth. [If you know who has done those things, tell me] [RHQ] his name, and the names of his children [SAR]! [But you do not know who has done those things, so you cannot speak with authority about what God is like].
5 Napadasen ti amin a sasao ti Dios, kalasag isuna kadagiti agkamkamang kenkuana.
Everything that God has said is true; he is [like] a shield [MET] for all those who request him to protect them.
6 Saanmo a nayonan dagiti sasaona, di la ket tubngarennaka, ket mapaneknekankanto nga ulbod.
Do not add to (OR, change) what God has said; if you do that, he will rebuke you and show that you are lying.
7 Dua a banag ti dawatek kenka, saanmo ida nga ipaidam kaniak sakbay a matayak:
[God], I ask you to do two things for me; [please] do them before I die:
8 Iyadayom kaniak ti kinaubbaw ken kinaulbod. Saanmo nga ited kaniak ti kinapanglaw wenno kinabaknang, itedmo laeng iti taraon a kasapulak.
Help me never to lie or deceive [people] and do not cause me to become poor or to become rich. [Just] give me the food that I need;
9 Ta no addaanak ti adu unay, ilibakkanto ken ibagak a, “Siasino ni Yahweh?” Wenno no pumanglawak, agtakawakto ket ibabainkonto ti nagan ti Diosko.
because if I become rich, I might say that I do not [RHQ] know you and that I do not need you; and if I become poor, I might dishonor you by stealing things.
10 Saanmo a dadaelen ti dayaw ti tagabu iti sangoanan ti amona, di la ket ilunodnaka ket agbiddutka.
Do not (slander/say bad things about) a worker to his boss; if you do that, the worker will curse you, and cause you to have trouble.
11 Ti maysa a henerasion a mangilunod iti amada ken saanda a bendisionan ti inada,
[I will list four kinds of evil things that people do]: Some people curse their fathers and do not [ask God to] bless their mothers.
12 dayta ti henerasion a nadalus kadagiti bukodda a mata, ngem saanda a nadalusan manipud kadagiti rugitda.
Some people think that they are perfect, but [really] they have never been cleansed from their guilt for committing disgusting sins.
13 Dayta ti henerasion—anian a nagtangsit dagiti matada ken nakangato dagiti kalub ti matada! —
Some people are very proud; they think that they are very good and they despise others.
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.
Some people [act very cruelly toward others]; [it is as though] [MET] they have teeth that are [like] sharp knives; they severely oppress poor [people] and try to cause them to disappear from the land.
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”:
Leeches [are always wanting more blood to suck]; [similarly, greedy people are always] saying “Give [me some]!” or “Give [me more]!” [MET] There are four things that are never (satisfied/content with what they have); they always want more [LIT]:
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 h7585)
The place where the dead people are; women who do not have any children; ground that needs water/rain; and a fire that always needs more wood. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Those who [SYN] make fun of their fathers or refuse to obey their mothers (OR, despise their aged mothers) should [die and] have their eyes pecked out by crows, and the [rest of their corpses should be] fed to the vultures.
18 Adda tallo a nakaskasdaaw unay para kaniak, uppat a saanko a maawatan:
There are four things that are wonderful to me, [but] I do not understand any of them:
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.
How eagles fly in the sky, how snakes [are able to] move/crawl across a big rock, how ships sail on the seas, and how a man falls in love with a woman.
20 Daytoy ti wagas ti makikamkammalala—mangan isuna sana punasan ti ngiwatna ken ibagana nga “Awan ti nagbasolak”
This is what a woman who (is not faithful to/does not have sex only with) her husband does: She commits adultery [EUP], and [then] bathes and says, “I have not done anything that is wrong!”
21 Kadagiti tallo a banag agkintayeg ti daga, ti maikauppat ti saanna a maibturan:
There are four things that no [one in] the world can tolerate:
22 ti tagabu nga agbalin nga ari; no mabsog iti taraon ti maag;
[What] a slave [does who] becomes a king, a foolish person eating [too much] food,
23 no makiassawa ti babai a mabusbusor, ken no sublaten ti babaonen ti saad ti amona a babai.
[what] a woman who is hated [does when she] gets married, and [what] a female servant [does when she] becomes the boss instead of her mistress.
24 Uppat a banbanag iti daga ket babassit ngem nasisiribda unay:
[There are] four animals on the earth that are small, but they are very wise:
25 dagiti kuton ket parsua a saan a nabileg, ngem agisagsaganada kadagiti taraonda iti kalgaw;
Ants are not strong, but they store up food during the summer [in order to have it during the winter].
26 dagiti koneho ket saan a napigsa a parsua, ngem ar-aramidenda dagiti pagtaenganda kadagiti batbato.
Rock badgers [also] are not strong, but they make their homes among the rocks [where they will be safe].
27 Dagiti dudon ket awan ti arida, ngem nakalinyada amin nga agmartia.
Locusts do not have a king, but they march like [the soldiers in] an army.
28 Kadagiti alutiit, maiggamam daytoy kadagiti imam, ngem masarakan ida kadagiti palasio dagiti ari.
Lizards/Geckos [are very small and] you can hold them in your hand, but they are [cleverly able to get] inside kings’ palaces.
29 Adda tallo a nalimbong iti addangda, uppat a nalimbong iti pannagnada:
[There are] four animals that strut around and look very impressive while they walk [DOU]:
30 ti leon, ti kapigsaan kadagiti amin nga atap nga ayup- saan a tumallikud daytoy iti aniaman;
Lions, which are stronger than all other animals and are not afraid of any of them;
31 maysa a nataer a kawitan; maysa a kalding, ken maysa nga ari nga adda iti abayna dagiti soldadona.
male goats, strutting roosters, and kings who (parade/walk proudly back and forth) in front of the people whom they rule.
32 No nagbalinka a maag, a mangidaydayaw iti bagim, wenno no agpangpanggepka iti dakes- iyaputmo ti imam iti ngiwatmo.
If you have acted foolishly, exalting yourself, or if you been planning [to do something] evil, stop it immediately [IDM]!
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.
If you churn milk, it produces butter/curds, and if you hit [someone hard on his] nose, [his nose] bleeds; similarly, if you do something to cause [people to become] angry, strife [usually] results.
