Mani'zanti Mofo Nanekee 30
1 Ama'na nanekea, Jake nemofo, Aguri Itielintegane Ukalintega huama huno kre zanami'nea naneke.
These are the words of Agur, son of Jakeh. An oracle. This is what the man says, God, I'm really tired, I'm worn out.
2 Tamage nagra mago'a vahe'mo'zama nehaza havizana agatere'na havizantfa nehu'na, vahe'mo'zama antahi ama'ma nehazaza hu'na antahiamara nosue.
I'm so stupid I'm not really a man; I can't even think like a human being.
3 Nagra knare antahi'zana rempi hu'na e'ori'na, Anumzamo'ma Ruotage hu'nemofoma keno antahino'ma hu antahi'zana e'ori'noe.
I have not learned wisdom; I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Iza monafinka mareriteno ete erami'ne? Iza zahora aza agu'safina azeri'ne? Iza tavarave'afina tina anakino ante'ne? Iza mopa ometre emetretera mika'zana antegeno fore huno me'ne? Agri agi'a iza'e, nemofo agi'a iza'e? Antahinesunka nasamio!
Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? Who holds the winds in the palm of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has set the earth's boundaries? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Are you sure you don't know?
5 Anumzamofo kema maka ke'za antahi'zama hu'nazana tamage ke me'ne. Agra mika zamagu vazinogu'ma Agrite'ma neaza vahe'mokizmia hankogna hu'neno zamagu nevazie.
Every word God says has been proved true. He defends everyone who comes to him for protection.
6 Anumzamofo nanekerera kagra'a kagesafintira amerasenka ruokamaro, ru kazeri korino havige vahe maninane huno kazeri ama hugahie.
Don't add anything to his words, or he will criticize you and you'll be shown to be a liar.
7 Anumzamoka tare zantfanku kantahige'za huanki kavresra huonanto, ama mopafi ofri'na kasefa hu'na mani'nesurera,
God, I want to request two things from you. Please don't refuse to let me have them before I come to die.
8 ese' zanku'ma kantahigesuana, nazahuge'na vahe'ma revatgahu avu'ava'zane havigea osaneno. Anante zana natrege'na rama'a feno vahera omanige, namunte omane vahera omanisuanki magoke magoke knama nesugeno namuma hania avamente namio.
Keep me from being false, help me not to tell lies. Don't make me poor or rich; just provide me with the food I need.
9 Na'ankure nagrama rama'azama antesuna, namefi hunegamina ru Ra Anumzamoka kage'na antahi'na osu'noe huge, ru namunte omanena musufa nesena, kagi eri haviza huzankura, avamente namio.
Otherwise if I have plenty of money, I may give up on you, saying, “Who is the Lord?” while if I'm poor I may steal and bring the name of my God into disrepute.
10 Mago kazokzo eriza nemofona kva'amofontera vunka ome azeri haviza hu kea osuo. Kagrama anama hnankeno'a, ana kazokzo eriza ne'mo'a antahi haviza hugantena, hazenkefi manigahane.
Don't slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you and you'll suffer for it.
11 Mago'a vahe'mo'za nezmafana hu haviza hunezamante'za, nezamrerana musenkea hunozmantaze.
There are some who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
12 Mago'a vahe'mo'zama antahizana kumitia omne'ne nehazanagi, Anumzamofo avurera agrua osu'naze.
There are some who see themselves as pure but they're still filthy—they have not been washed.
13 Mago'a vahe'mo'za knare hu'none huza zamavufaga ra nehu'za, mago'a vahe'mokizmia zmage fenkami netraze.
There are some who think themselves so high and mighty, and who look down on others.
14 Mago'a vahe'mokizmi zamavemo'a, vahe'ma zamahe bainati kazinkna higeno, tuke zamavemo'a kazinkna huno asaneneankino zamunte omane vahe ene, mago'a zanku'ma atupa'ma hu'nesnaza vahera, ama mopafintira zamasga huvazigahaze.
There are some who have teeth like swords, incisors like knives, ready to devour the poor from the earth, the needy from society.
15 Kukufamo'a taremofatre zanante'ne. Zanagi'a, Namio, Namioke! Zmavesizama eriknarema nosia zana 3'a za me'ne. Zmamuma nosia zana 4'a za me'neankino,
The leech has two daughters who cry out, “Give me! Give me!” There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “Enough!”:
16 e'i ana zantamina, fri vahe kumaki, vene'ma mase a'mo'ma mofavrema nontea naravo aki, tima anihuma nehia hagege mopagi, ke'onke zama tefananema nehia tevemofonena zamura nosie. (Sheol h7585)
The grave, the womb that doesn't become pregnant, the earth thirsty for water, and the fire that never says, “Enough!” (Sheol h7585)
17 Nefama negeno azanava kema hunenteno, nererama kefenkami atresnia vahe'mofo avurga, kotkoti nama zaga'mo'za ana avurga ani kasonepesageno, tumpa namamo'za avufga nevagaregahaze.
People who ridicule their fathers and despise obedience to the mother will have their eyes pecked out by wild ravens and eaten by young vultures.
18 Nagritera 3'a zamo ruzahukna zana megeno, antahi ama'ma nosua zana 4'a za me'ne.
These three things are amazingly hard for me, four things I just can't understand:
19 E'i ana zana ina kante tumpamo'a monafina hareno nevie, ina kante osifavemo'a have agofetura regraroheno vanoa nehie. Ina kante ventemo'a tusi'a hagerimpina vano nehie. Hagi na'a hu'nea zanku vene'nemo'za, vene omase akura zamave'nesie.
The way an eagle soars in the sky, the way a snake slides over a rock, the way a ship sails across the sea, the way a man and a woman fall in love.
20 Savri a'mofo avu'avamo'a amanahu hu'ne, venema maseteno'a, ne'za neteno agiteti eri ho'mu hiankna nehuno, kefo zana osu'noe nehie.
This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: she eats, she wipes her mouth, and then says, “I haven't done anything wrong!”
21 3'a zamo ama mopamofona azeri tore nehanigeno, 4'a zamo raga oregosie.
Three things make the earth tremble, there are four things it can't support:
22 E'i kazokzo eri'za ne'mo'ma kini mani'zane, neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'za nezama nezamuma hu'zane,
a slave becoming a king, a stupid person eating like a pig,
23 ave'sinontaza a'mo'ma ve'ma eri'zane, kazokzo eri'za a'mo'ma kva'ama maninesia a'mofo ve'ama rehanareno manizamo'a, ama mopa azeri tore nehie.
an unbearable woman getting married, and a maidservant taking her mistress's place.
24 Ama'na mopafina 4'a onensa zagaramina mani'nazanagi, knare antintahimo'a zamagripina avite'ne.
There are four things on earth that are small, but very wise:
25 Kipzuvemofona hanave zmimo'a osi hu'neanagi, ko knafima nesagura ne'zana zagegnafi eritru nehaze.
Ants—they're not strong, but they work hard all summer storing up food.
26 Krofamofona hanavezmia omne'neanagi, havefi nozmia negize.
Hyraxes—they don't have much power, but they make their homes in the rock.
27 Kenumofona kini vahe'zamia omani'neanagi, sondia vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za, vugota hu'za nevazageno, ana amage amage hu'za nevaze.
Locusts—they don't have a king, but they all march in line abreast.
28 Tagovira kazanteti amne fru hunka azeriga zagamo'agi, kini vahe'mokizmi marerisa nompina ufregahaze.
Lizards—you can catch them in your hands, but they live in the king's palace.
29 3'a zagamo'za knare huza kana nevazagena kenasane nehuanagi, 4'a zagamoza fatgo hu'za nevazagena negoe.
There are three things that are glorious to watch as they walk, four that look dignified as they move:
30 E'i ana zaga laionigino mika zagamofona hanave'amo'a zamagatere'neankino, mago zagagura korora huno manigane ozamantegahie.
The lion, supreme among wild animals, who isn't frightened of anything.
31 Ve kokoremoza zamahihiza eri antesga hu'za vazageno, ve memeki afumo'za zamasenia eri antesga hu'za vazankna huno, kini ne'mo'ma sondia vahe'anema nevuno'a, ana nehie.
The strutting starling, the male goat, and a king with his army.
32 Kagrama neginagi kavukava'ma hunka kavufa ra nehunka, kefo avu'ava'ma hu antahi'zama retro'ma nehanunka, kazanu kagite refintenka kea osuo.
If you have been foolishly boasting about yourself, or if you've been planning to do something wrong, stop and put your hand over your mouth.
33 Mememofo amirima tatizana bata tronehaze. Hagi kagona ru hapati'sazana, kora hugahie. E'ina hu'negu arimpama ahe'zamo'a, ha' eri fore nehie.
Just as churning milk produces butter, and twisting someone's nose makes it bleed, so stirring up anger causes arguments.
