< 箴言知恵の泉 30 >

1 ヤケの子アグルの語なる箴言かれイテエルにむかひて之をいへり即ちイテエルとウカルとにいへる所のものなり

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal,

2 我は人よりも愚なり我には人の聰明あらず

Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man.

3 我いまた智慧をならひ得ずまたいまだ至聖きものを暁ることをえず

I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

4 天に昇りまた降りし者は誰か風をその掌中に聚めし者は誰か水を衣につつみし者は誰か地のすべての限界を定めし者は誰かその名は何ぞその子の名は何ぞ汝これを知るや

Who hath ascended into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?

5 神の言はみな潔よし神は彼を賴むものの盾なり

Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield to them that put their trust in him.

6 汝その言に加ふること勿れ恐くは彼なんぢをせめ又なんぢを謊る者となしたまはん

Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

7 われ二の事をなんぢに求めたり我が死ざる先にこれをたまへ

Two [things] have I required of thee; deny [them] not to me before I die:

8 即ち虚假と謊言とを我より離れしめ我をして貧からしめずまた富しめず惟なくてならぬ糧をあたへ給へ

Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

9 そは我あきて神を知ずといひヱホバは誰なりやといはんことを恐れまた貧くして窃盗をなし我が神の名を汚さんことを恐るればなり

Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who [is] the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God [in vain].

10 なんぢ僕をその主に讒ることなかれ恐くは彼なんぢを詛ひてなんぢ罪せられん

Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

11 その父を詛ひその母を祝せざる世類あり

[There is] a generation [that] curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

12 おのれの目に自らを潔者となして尚その汚穢を滌はれざる世類あり

[There is] a generation [that are] pure in their own eyes, and [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.

13 また一の世類あり嗚呼その眼はいかに高きぞやその瞼は昂れり

[There is] a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

14 その歯は劍のごとくその牙は刃のごとき世類あり彼等は貧き者を地より呑み窮乏者を人の中より食ふ

[There is] a generation, whose teeth [are as] swords, and their jaw-teeth [as] knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.

15 蛭に二人の女あり與ヘよ與へよと呼はる飽ことを知ざるもの三あり否な四あり皆たれりといはず

The horse-leech hath two daughters, [crying], Give, give. There are three [things that] are never satisfied, [yes], four [things] say not, [It is] enough:

16 即ち陰府姙まざる胎水に滿されざる地足りといはざる火これなり (Sheol h7585)

The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough. (Sheol h7585)

17 おのれの父を嘲り母に從ふことをいやしとする眼は谷の鴉これを抜いだし鷲の雛これを食はん

The eye [that] mocketh at [its] father, and despiseth to obey [its] mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

18 わが奇とするもの三あり否な四あり共にわが識ざる者なり

There are three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:

19 即ち空にとぷ鷲の路磐の上にはふ蛇の路海にはしる舟の路男の女にあふの路これなり

The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

20 淫婦の途も亦しかり彼は食ひてその口を拭ひわれ惡きことを爲ざりきといふ

Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

21 地は三の者によりて震ふ否な四の者によりて耐ることあたはざるなり

For three [things] the earth is disquieted, and for four [which] it cannot bear:

22 即ち僕たるもの王となるに因り愚なるもの糧に飽るにより

For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with food.

23 厭忌はれたる婦の嫁ぐにより婢女その主母に續に因りてなり

For an odious [woman] when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
