సామెతలు 30
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man,
and I have not learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy.
4 ౪ ఆకాశానికెక్కి దిగివచ్చిన వాడెవడు? తన పిడికిళ్లతో గాలిని పట్టుకున్నవాడెవడు? బట్టలో నీళ్లు మూటకట్టినవాడెవడు? భూమి దిక్కులన్నిటిని స్థాపించిన వాడెవడు? ఆయన పేరుగానీ ఆయన కుమారుడి పేరుగానీ నీకు తెలుసా?
Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou know?
Every word of God is tried. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Two things I have asked of thee, deny me not before I die:
8 ౮ వ్యర్థమైన వాటిని ఆబద్ధాలను నాకు దూరం చెయ్యి. పేదరికాన్నిగానీ ఐశ్వర్యాన్ని గానీ నాకు ఇవ్వొద్దు. చాలినంత అన్నం మాత్రం పెట్టు.
Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9 ౯ ఎక్కువైతే నేను కడుపు నిండి నిన్ను తిరస్కరించి “యెహోవా ఎవరు?” అంటానేమో. లేదా పేదరికం వల్ల దొంగతనం చేసి నా దేవుని నామాన్ని తెగనాడతానేమో.
lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor, and steal, and use the name of my God profanely.
10 ౧౦ దాసుని గూర్చి వాడి యజమానితో కొండేలు చెప్పకు. వాడు నిన్ను తిట్టుకుంటాడు. ఒకవేళ నీవు శిక్షార్హుడి వౌతావు.
Slander not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
There is a generation who curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
There is a generation who are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes, and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 ౧౪ దేశంలో ఉండకుండాా దరిద్రులను మింగేస్తూ మనుషుల్లో ఉండకుండాా పేదలను నశింపజేయడానికి కత్తుల్లాటి పళ్లు, పదునైన దవడ పళ్లు ఉన్న వారి తరం ఉంది.
There is a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw teeth, knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 ౧౫ జలగకు ఇవ్వు, ఇవ్వు అనే పేరున్న కూతురులిద్దరు ఉన్నారు. తృప్తిలేనివి మూడు ఉన్నాయి. చాలు అని పలకనివి నాలుగు ఉన్నాయి.
The leach has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four that do not say, Enough:
Sheol, and the barren womb, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and the fire that does not say, Enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 ౧౭ తండ్రిని దూషిస్తూ తల్లి మాట వినని వాడి కళ్ళు లోయ కాకులు పీక్కుతింటాయి. పక్షిరాజు పిల్లలు వాటిని తింటాయి.
The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 ౧౯ అవి, అంతరిక్షంలో గరుడ పక్షి జాడ, బండమీద పాము జాడ, నడిసముద్రంలో ఓడ వెళ్ళే జాడ, కన్యతో మగవాడి జాడ.
The way of an eagle in the air, 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 maiden.
So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no iniquity.
For three things the earth trembles, and for four, which it cannot bear:
For a servant when he is king, and a fool when he is filled with food,
for a hateful woman when she is married, and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:
The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer,
the conies are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the rocks,
the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands,
the lizard takes hold with her hands, yet she is in kings' palaces.
There are three things which are stately in their march, yea, four which are stately in going:
The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, and turns not away from any,
the greyhound, also the he-goat, and the king against whom there is no rising up.
If thou have done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou have thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
For the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood, so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
