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 son of Jakeh—the utterance: This man declared to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Hubaal anigu waan ka doqonnimo weynahay nin kastaba, Oo dad waxgarashadiisana ma lihi.
Surely I am more like an animal than any human and I do not have the understanding of a human being.
3 Xigmad ma aan baran, Aqoonta Kan quduuska ahna ma aqaan.
I have not learned wisdom, nor do I have knowledge of the Holy One.
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 has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has gathered up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
5 Eray kasta oo Ilaah waa daahir; Oo isagu wuxuu gaashaan u yahay kuwa isaga aaminsan.
Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Erayadiisa waxba ha ku darin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku canaantaa, oo lagu ogaadaa inaad beenaaleh tahay.
Do not add to his words, or he will discipline you, and you will be proved to be a liar.
7 Laba waxyaalood ayaan ku weyddiistay, Iyaga ha ii diidin intaanan dhiman.
Two things I ask of you, do not withhold them from me 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,
Put vanity and lies far away from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, just give me the food I 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.
For if I have too much, I might deny you and say, “Who is Yahweh?” Or if I become poor, I might steal and profane the name of my God.
10 Addoon sayidkiisa xan ha uga sheegin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku habaaraa, oo eed lagugu helaaye.
Do not slander a slave before his master, or he will curse you and you will be held guilty.
11 Waxaa jira farcan aabbahood inkaara, Oo aan hooyadoodna u ducayn.
There is a generation that curses their father and does not bless their mother.
12 Waxaa jira farcan isla daahirsan, Oo weliba aan nijaastoodii ka maydhmin.
There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, and yet they are not washed of their filth.
13 Waxaa jira farcan indhahoodu aad u sarreeyaan! Oo daboolka indhahoodana kor bay u qaadaan.
There is a generation whose eyes are raised up, and how high are their eyelids 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.
There is a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jawbones are like knives, so they may devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among humanity.
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 has two daughters: “Give and give” they cry. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “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; the barren womb; land that is never satisfied with water; and the fire that never says, “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 mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, his eyes will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, and he will be eaten by the vultures.
18 Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo anigu aan aad ula yaabo, Haah, afar baan garan waayay,
There are three things that are too wonderful for me, four that I do not understand:
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 sky; the way of a snake on a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
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.
This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and she wipes her mouth and says, “I have done nothing wrong.”
21 Saddex waxyaalood ayaa dhulku la gariiraa, Oo afar baanu qaadan karin,
Under three things the earth trembles, and under four it cannot bear up:
22 Waxaana weeye addoon markuu boqor noqdo, Iyo nacas markuu cunto ka dhergo,
a slave when he becomes king; a fool when he is filled with food;
23 Iyo naag la nacay markay guursato, Iyo gabadh addoon ahu markay sayidaddeedii meesheeda gasho.
a hated woman when she marries; and a maid when she takes the place of her mistress.
24 Waxaa jira afar waxyaalood oo dhulka ku yaryar, Laakiinse aad iyo aad u caqli badan.
Four things on earth are small and yet they are very wise:
25 Qudhaanjadu waa sida dad aan xoog badnayn, Laakiinse waxay cuntadooda soo diyaarsadaan guga.
the ants are creatures that are not strong, but they prepare their food in the summer;
26 Walooyinku waa qoon taagdaran, Oo haddana waxay guryahooda ka samaystaan dhagaxyada dhexdooda;
the rock badgers are not mighty creatures, but they make their homes in the rocks.
27 Ayaxu boqor ma leh, Weliba dhammaantood guuto guuto ayay u socdaan.
Locusts have no king, but all of them march in rank.
28 Qorratadu waa wax gacanta lagu qaban karo, Weliba waxay joogtaa guryaha boqorrada.
As for the lizard, you can hold it in your two hands, yet they are found in kings' palaces.
29 Waxaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo si fiican u socda, Haah, oo afar waa socod wanaagsan yihiin.
There are three things that are stately in their stride and four that are stately in how they walk:
30 Aar libaax oo ah kan xayawaanka ugu xoogga badan, Oo aan weliba midna dib uga noqon,
a lion, strongest among wild animals— it does not turn away from anything;
31 Diiqa xarragoonaya, iyo orgiga; Iyo boqorka aanay dadku gees ka ahayn.
a strutting rooster; a goat; and a king whose soldiers are beside him.
32 Haddaad nacasnimo samaysay adoo isa sarraysiinaya, Ama aad wax shar ah ka fikirtay, Gacanta afka saar.
If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil— put your hand over your 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.
As churning milk makes butter and as one's nose will produce blood if it is twisted, so deeds done in anger produce conflict.
