Maahmaahyadii 30
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii Aaguur ina Yaaqeh, oo ahaa reer Masaa. Ninku wuxuu la hadlay Iitii'eel, iyo xataa Iitii'eel iyo Ukaal, oo ku yidhi,
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the man unto Ithiel, [even] unto Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Hubaal anigu waan ka doqonnimo weynahay nin kastaba, Oo dad waxgarashadiisana ma lihi.
Truly I am more stupid than any one; and I have not a man's intelligence.
3 Xigmad ma aan baran, Aqoonta Kan quduuska ahna ma aqaan.
I have neither learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy.
4 Yaa samada u baxay, oo ka soo degay? Yaa dabaysha gacmihiisa ku soo ururshay? Yaa biyaha dharkiisa ku guntay? Yaa dhulka darafyadiisa oo dhan dhisay? Magicii, wiilkiisana magicii, haddaad taqaan?
Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?
5 Eray kasta oo Ilaah waa daahir; Oo isagu wuxuu gaashaan u yahay kuwa isaga aaminsan.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Erayadiisa waxba ha ku darin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku canaantaa, oo lagu ogaadaa inaad beenaaleh tahay.
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Laba waxyaalood ayaan ku weyddiistay, Iyaga ha ii diidin intaanan dhiman.
Two things do I ask of thee; deny me [them] not before I die:
8 Wax aan waxtar lahayn iyo been iga fogee, Oo caydhnimo iyo taajirnimo midna ha i siin. Igu quudi cunto aanan ka maarmin,
Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need:
9 Waaba intaasoo intaan dhergo, aan adiga ku inkiraaye, oo aan idhaahdaa, Waa ayo Rabbigu? Amase waaba intaasoo aan miskiin noqdaa, oo intaan wax xado, Aan magaca Ilaahayga si been ah ugu hadal qaadaaye.
lest I be full and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God.
10 Addoon sayidkiisa xan ha uga sheegin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku habaaraa, oo eed lagugu helaaye.
Speak not too much about a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
11 Waxaa jira farcan aabbahood inkaara, Oo aan hooyadoodna u ducayn.
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother;
12 Waxaa jira farcan isla daahirsan, Oo weliba aan nijaastoodii ka maydhmin.
there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness;
13 Waxaa jira farcan indhahoodu aad u sarreeyaan! Oo daboolka indhahoodana kor bay u qaadaan.
there is a generation, — how lofty are their eyes, how their eyelids are lifted up!
14 Waxaa jira farcan ilkahoodu sida seefo oo kale yihiin, oo gowsahooduna sida mindiyo oo kale yihiin, Si ay masaakiinta dhulka uga baabbi'iyaan, oo ay kuwa baahanna dadka dhexdiisa uga dhammeeyaan.
— a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devour the afflicted from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.
15 Culaacushu waxay leedahay laba gabdhood, oo leh, Na sii, Na sii. Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo aan weligood dhergin, Haah, oo afar aan odhan, Bes, nagu filan;
The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three [things] never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:
16 Waxaana weeye qabriga, iyo maxalka aan wax dhalayn, Iyo dhulka aan biyo ka dhergayn, Iyo dabka aan odhan, Bes, igu filan. (Sheol h7585)
— Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 Isha aabbaheed ku majaajiloota, Oo quudhsata inay hooyadeed addeecdo, Waxaa la soo bixi doona tukayaasha dooxada, Oo waxaa cuni doona gorgorrada.
The eye that mocketh at a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo anigu aan aad ula yaabo, Haah, afar baan garan waayay,
There are three [things] too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:
19 Oo iyana waxaa weeye siduu gorgor hawada u duulo, Siduu masna dhagax ugu socdo, Siday doonnina badda u maaxdo, Iyo siduu nin gabadh ula macaamiloodo.
The way of an eagle in the heavens, 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 Sidaas oo kale waxaa ah naag dhillo ah sideeda, Taasoo intay wax cunto afka tirtirta, Oo haddana tidhaahda, Anigu waxba xumaan ma aan samayn.
Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21 Saddex waxyaalood ayaa dhulku la gariiraa, Oo afar baanu qaadan karin,
Under three [things] the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up:
22 Waxaana weeye addoon markuu boqor noqdo, Iyo nacas markuu cunto ka dhergo,
Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;
23 Iyo naag la nacay markay guursato, Iyo gabadh addoon ahu markay sayidaddeedii meesheeda gasho.
under an odious [woman] when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.
24 Waxaa jira afar waxyaalood oo dhulka ku yaryar, Laakiinse aad iyo aad u caqli badan.
There are four [things] little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise:
25 Qudhaanjadu waa sida dad aan xoog badnayn, Laakiinse waxay cuntadooda soo diyaarsadaan guga.
The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 Walooyinku waa qoon taagdaran, Oo haddana waxay guryahooda ka samaystaan dhagaxyada dhexdooda;
the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff;
27 Ayaxu boqor ma leh, Weliba dhammaantood guuto guuto ayay u socdaan.
the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 Qorratadu waa wax gacanta lagu qaban karo, Weliba waxay joogtaa guryaha boqorrada.
thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
29 Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo si fiican u socda, Haah, oo afar waa socod wanaagsan yihiin.
There are three [things] which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:
30 Aar libaax oo ah kan xayawaanka ugu xoogga badan, Oo aan weliba midna dib uga noqon,
The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any;
31 Diiqa xarragoonaya, iyo orgiga; Iyo boqorka aanay dadku gees ka ahayn.
a [horse] girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up.
32 Haddaad nacasnimo samaysay adoo isa sarraysiinaya, Ama aad wax shar ah ka fikirtay, Gacanta afka saar.
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] the hand upon thy mouth.
33 Waayo, caanihii la lulaa subag bay soo saaraan, Sankii la maroojiyaana dhiig buu keenaa, Sidaas oo kalena cadhadii la qasbaa dirir bay keentaa.
For the pressing of milk bringeth forth butter, and the pressing of the nose bringeth forth blood; and the pressing of anger bringeth forth strife.
