Salamana Pamācības 30
1 Agura, Jakes dēla, vārdi šā vīra sludināšana un mācība. Es esmu nodarbojies ar Dievu, esmu nodarbojies ar Dievu un noguris.
These are sayings/messages that God gave to Agur, the son of Jakeh. [Agur wrote them] for Ithiel and Ucal.
2 Jo es esmu nejēga pār citiem, un man nav cilvēka saprašanas!
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 Es arī gudrības neesmu mācījies, nedz svētu atzīšanu atzinis.
I have not learned [how to become] wise and I do not know [much] about God.
4 Kas ir uzkāpis debesīs un nācis zemē? Kas sagrābj vēju savās rokas? Kas saista ūdeni drēbē? Kas liek zemei visas robežas? Kāds viņam vārds, un kāds viņa dēlam vārds, ja tu to zini?
[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 Visi Dieva vārdi ir šķīsti; Viņš ir par priekšturamām bruņām tiem, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
Everything that God has said is true; he is [like] a shield [MET] for all those who request him to protect them.
6 Nepieliec nekā pie viņa vārdiem, ka viņš tevi nesoda, un tu netopi atrasts melkulis.
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 Divas lietas lūdzos no tevis, neliedz man tās, pirms es mirstu:
[God], I ask you to do two things for me; [please] do them before I die:
8 Nelietība un meli lai paliek tālu no manis; nabadzību un bagātību nedod man, bet paēdini mani ar manu dienišķu maizi,
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 Ka es paēdis tevi neaizliedzu un nesaku: Kas ir Tas Kungs? vai nabags palicis nezogu un sava Dieva vārdu velti nevalkāju. -
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 Neapmelo kalpu pie viņa kunga, ka viņš tevi nelād, un tu netopi noziedzīgs.
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 Ir suga, kas tēvu lād un māti nesvētī;
[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 Ir suga, kas pati savās acīs šķīsta, bet no saviem sārņiem nav mazgāta;
Some people think that they are perfect, but [really] they have never been cleansed from their guilt for committing disgusting sins.
13 Ir suga, cik augsti tā ceļ acis, cik augsti acu plakstiņus!
Some people are very proud; they think that they are very good and they despise others.
14 Ir suga, zobeni ir viņas zobi un naži viņas dzerokļi, rīt nabagus no zemes nost un sērdienīšus cilvēku starpā. -
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 Asins sūcējai ir divas meitas: „Dod šurp, dod šurp!“- Šās trīs nav pieēdināmas, un tā ceturtā nesaka: Gan.
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]:
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 Acs, kas tēvu apsmej un liedzās mātei klausīt, to izknābs kraukļi pie upes, un jaunie ērgļi to ēdīs.
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 Šās trīs lietas man ir visai brīnums, un to ceturto es neizprotu:
There are four things that are wonderful to me, [but] I do not understand any of them:
19 Ērgļa ceļš debesīs, čūskas ceļš pār klinti, laivas ceļš jūras vidū un vīra ceļš pie meitas.
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 Tāds pat ir sievas ceļš, kas laulību pārkāpj; viņa ēd, noslauka muti un saka: Es ļauna neesmu darījusi. -
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 Par trim lietām nodreb zeme, un ceturto tā nevar panest:
There are four things that no [one in] the world can tolerate:
22 Par kalpu, kad tas paliek par kungu, un par ģeķi, kad tas maizes paēdis,
[What] a slave [does who] becomes a king, a foolish person eating [too much] food,
23 Par nopeltu, kad tā tiek pie vīra, un par kalponi, kad tā top savas saimnieces mantiniece.
[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 Šie četri ir mazi virs zemes un tomēr gudrāki nekā tie gudrie:
[There are] four animals on the earth that are small, but they are very wise:
25 Skudras, nespēcīga tauta, tomēr savu barību vasarā sagādā;
Ants are not strong, but they store up food during the summer [in order to have it during the winter].
26 Truši, nespēcīga tauta, tomēr liek savus namus akmens kalnos;
Rock badgers [also] are not strong, but they make their homes among the rocks [where they will be safe].
27 Siseņiem nav ķēniņa, tomēr viņi visi iziet, pulkos dalīti;
Locusts do not have a king, but they march like [the soldiers in] an army.
28 Zirneklis auž abām rokām, un tomēr ir ķēniņu pilīs.-
Lizards/Geckos [are very small and] you can hold them in your hand, but they are [cleverly able to get] inside kings’ palaces.
29 Šiem trim ir laba gaita, un tas ceturtais iet it lepni:
[There are] four animals that strut around and look very impressive while they walk [DOU]:
30 Vecs lauva, varens starp zvēriem, kas nevienam ceļu negriež.
Lions, which are stronger than all other animals and are not afraid of any of them;
31 Ērzelis, kam labi gurni, vai āzis, un ķēniņš, savus ļaudis vedot.
male goats, strutting roosters, and kings who (parade/walk proudly back and forth) in front of the people whom they rule.
32 Ja tu ģeķis bijis, paaugstinādamies, un ko nodomājis, tad: roku uz muti!
If you have acted foolishly, exalting yourself, or if you been planning [to do something] evil, stop it immediately [IDM]!
33 Satricini pienu, būs sviests; satrīcini degunu, būs asinis; un satrīcini dusmas, būs plēšanās.
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.
