Fakkeenya 30
1 Jecha Aguur ilma Yaaqee. Dubbiin nama kanaa akkana jedhee Iitiiʼeeliitti dubbatame: “Innis Iitiiʼeeliittii fi Ukaalitti dubbate:
THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.
2 Ani dhugumaan doofaa nama hundaa gadii ti; ani hubannaa namni qabu hin qabu.
Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
3 Ani ogummaa hin baranne yookaan beekumsa Isa Qulqulluu sanaa hin qabu.
For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
4 Eenyutu samiitti ol baʼee deebiʼee dhufe? Kan harki isaa bubbee walitti qabe eenyu? Namni bishaan uffataan mare eenyu? Kan daarii lafaa hunda jabeessee dhaabe eenyu? Maqaan isaatii fi maqaan ilma isaa eenyu? Mee yoo beekte natti himi!
Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
5 “Dubbiin Waaqaa hundinuu hirʼina hin qabu; warra isatti kooluu galaniif, inni gaachana.
Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
6 Dubbii isaatti homaa hin dabalin; yoo kanaa achii inni si ifata; atis sobduu taatee argamta.
Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
7 “Yaa Waaqayyo ani wantoota lama sin kadhadha; isaanis utuu hamman jirutti ana hin dhowwatin.
Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
8 Gowwoomsaa fi soba narraa fageessi; hiyyummaa yookaan sooruma naaf hin kennin; garuu buddeena koo guyyaa guyyaan naaf kenni.
Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
9 Yoo kanaa achii ani akka malee quufee si ganee ‘Waaqayyo eenyuu dha?’ nan jedha; yookaan hiyyoomee hatee, akkasiin maqaa Waaqa koo nan salphisa.
Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
10 “Garbicha tokko gooftaa isaa biratti hin hamatin, yoo kanaa achii inni si abaaraa; atis waan kanatti ni gaafatamta.
Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
11 “Dhaloota abbaa isaa abaaru kan haadha isaa illee hin eebbifnetu jira;
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
12 dhaloota qulqulluu of seʼu, kan xurii isaa irraa hin qulqulleeffamintu jiru;
There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
13 dhaloota iji isaa akka malee of tuulu, kan baalleen ija isaas nama tuffatutu jira;
There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
14 dhaloota hiyyeeyyii lafa irraa fixuuf rakkattoota illee gidduu namaatii balleessuuf ilkaan isaa goraadee, haʼoon isaa immoo billaa taʼe jira.
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
15 “Dhulaandhulli intallan, ‘Kenni! Kenni!’ jedhanii iyyan lama qabdi. “Wantoota gonkumaa hin quufne sadiitu jira; kanneen gonkumaa, ‘Nu gaʼe!’ hin jenne immoo afurtu jira:
The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
16 isaanis Siiʼool, gadameessa maseene, lafa gonkumaa bishaan hin quufnee fi ibidda gonkumaa, ‘Na gaʼe!’ hin jennee dha. (Sheol h7585)
The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. (Sheol h7585)
17 “Ija abbaatti qoosu, kan ajaja haadhaa tuffatu arraagessa sululaatiin baafama; joobiraanis ni nyaatama.
The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
18 “Wantoonni akka malee na dinqisiisan sadiitu jira; afur immoo ani hin hubadhu; kunis:
There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
19 Karaan risaa samii irra, karaan bofaa kattaa irra, karaan doonii galaana guddaa irra, karaan dhiiraa immoo dubartii wajjin taʼuu isaa ti.
The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
20 “Karaan ejjituu kana: Isheen waa nyaattee afaan haqatti; ergasii immoo, ‘Ani homaa hin balleessine’ jetti.
Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
21 “Lafti waan sadii jalatti hollatti; afur immoo baachuu hin dandeessu; kunis:
For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
22 Garbicha mootii taʼu, gowwaa nyaatee quufu,
For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
23 dubartiin jibbamte yeroo dhirsa argattu, garbittii giiftii ishee dhaaltu.
For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
24 “Wantoonni xixinnoon afur lafa irra jiru; taʼu illee isaan akka malee ogeeyyii dha; isaanis:
These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
25 Goondaawwan tuuta jabina hin qabnee dha; taʼus isaan yeroo bonaa nyaata isaanii walitti qaban;
The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
26 osoleewwan uumamawwan humna hin qabnee dha; garuu kattaa keessa jiraatu;
The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
27 hawwaannisni mootii hin qabu; garuu tarree galee yaaʼa;
The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
28 loccuun harkaan qabamuu dandeessi; garuu masaraa mootii keessatti argamti.
The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
29 “Wantoota deemsa tolan sadiitu jira; kanneen tarkaanfii bareedanis afurtu jira; isaanis:
There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
30 Leenca bineensa hunda keessaa jabaa, kan waan tokko illee sodaatee duubatti hin deebine;
A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
31 korma indaanqoo kan kooraa deemu, korbeessa reʼeetii fi, mootii loltoota isaa dura deemu.
A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
32 “Ati yoo of jajuudhaan gowwoomte, yookaan yoo hammina malatte, harka kee afaan kee irra kaaʼadhu!
If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
33 Akkuma aannan raasuun dhadhaa baasu, funyaan micciiruunis dhiiga baasu sana, aarii kakaasuun lola fida.”
When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
