1Ang mga salita ni Agur na anak ni Jache; ang sanggunian. Sinabi ng lalake kay Ithiel, kay Ithiel, at kay Ucal: 2Tunay na ako'y hangal kay sa kaninoman, at walang kaunawaan ng isang tao: 3At hindi ako natuto ng karunungan, ni mayroon man ako ng kaalaman ng Banal. 4Sino ang sumampa sa langit, at bumaba? Sino ang pumisan ng hangin sa kaniyang mga dakot? Sinong nagtali ng tubig sa kaniyang kasuutan? Sinong nagtatag ng lahat ng mga wakas ng lupa? Ano ang kaniyang pangalan, at ano ang pangalan ng kaniyang anak kung iyong nalalaman? 5Bawa't salita ng Dios ay subok: siya'y kalasag sa kanila, na nanganganlong sa kaniya. 6Huwag kang magdagdag sa kaniyang mga salita, baka kaniyang sawayin ka, at masunduan kang sinungaling. 7Dalawang bagay ang hiniling ko sa iyo; huwag mong ipagkait sa akin bago ako mamatay. 8Ilayo mo sa akin ang walang kabuluhan at ang mga kasinungalingan: huwag mo akong bigyan ng kahit karalitaan o kayamanan man; pakanin mo ako ng pagkain na kailangan ko: 9Baka ako'y mabusog, at magkaila sa iyo, at magsabi, sino ang Panginoon? O baka ako'y maging dukha, at magnakaw ako, at gumamit ng paglapastangan sa pangalan ng aking Dios. 10Huwag mong pawikaan ang alipin sa kaniyang panginoon, baka ka tungayawin niya, at ikaw ay maging salarin. 11May lahi na tumutungayaw sa kanilang ama. At hindi pinagpapala ang kanilang ina. 12May lahi na malinis sa harap ng kanilang sariling mga mata, at gayon man ay hindi hugas sa kanilang karumihan. 13May lahi, Oh pagka mapagmataas ng kanilang mga mata! At ang kanilang mga talukap-mata ay nangakataas. 14May lahi na ang mga ngipin ay parang mga tabak, at ang kanilang mga bagang ay parang mga sundang, upang lamunin ang dukha mula sa lupa, at ang mapagkailangan sa gitna ng mga tao. 15Ang linga ay may dalawang anak, na sumisigaw, bigyan mo, bigyan mo. May tatlong bagay na kailan man ay hindi nasisiyahan, Oo, apat na hindi nagsasabi, siya na: 16Ang Sheol; at ang baog na bahay-bata; ang lupa na hindi napapatiranguhaw ng tubig; at ang apoy na hindi nagsasabi, siya na. 17Ang mata na tumutuya sa kaniyang ama, at humahamak ng pagsunod sa kaniyang ina, tutukain ito ng mga uwak sa libis, at kakanin ito ng mga inakay na aguila. 18May tatlong bagay na totoong kagilagilalas sa akin, Oo, apat na hindi ko nalalaman: 19Ang lipad ng aguila sa hangin; ang usad ng ahas sa ibabaw ng mga bato; ang lutang ng sasakyan sa gitna ng dagat; at ang lakad ng lalake na kasama ng isang dalaga. 20Gayon ang lakad ng mangangalunyang babae; siya'y kumakain, at nagpapahid ng kaniyang bibig, at nagsasabi, hindi ako gumawa ng kasamaan. 21Sa tatlong bagay ay nanginginig ang lupa, at sa apat na hindi niya madala: 22Sa isang alipin, pagka naghahari; at sa isang mangmang, pagka nabubusog ng pagkain; 23Sa isang babaing nakayayamot, pagka nagaasawa; at sa isang aliping babae, na nagmamana sa kaniyang panginoong babae. 24May apat na bagay na maliit sa lupa, nguni't lubhang mga pantas: 25Ang mga langgam ay bayang hindi matibay, gayon ma'y nagiimbak ng kanilang pagkain sa taginit; 26Ang mga koneho ay hayop na mahina, gayon ma'y nagsisigawa sila ng kanilang mga bahay sa malalaking bato; 27Ang mga balang ay walang hari, gayon ma'y lumalabas silang lahat na pulupulutong; 28Ang butiki ay tumatangan ng kaniyang mga kamay, gayon ma'y nasa mga bahay ng mga hari siya. 29May tatlong bagay na maganda sa kanilang lakad, Oo, apat na mainam sa lakad: 30Ang leon na pinaka matapang sa mga hayop, at hindi humihiwalay ng dahil sa kanino man; 31Ang asong matulin; ang kambing na lalake rin naman: at ang hari na hindi malalabanan. 32Kung ikaw ay gumagawa ng kamangmangan sa pagmamataas, o kung ikaw ay umisip ng kasamaan, ilagay mo ang iyong kamay sa iyong bibig. 33Sapagka't sa pagbati sa gatas ay naglalabas ng mantekilya, at sa pagsungalngal sa ilong ay lumalabas ang dugo: Gayon ang pamumungkahi sa poot ay naglalabas ng kaalitan.
1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal: 2“Surely I am the most ignorant man, and don’t have a man’s understanding. 3I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One. 4Who 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 you know? 5“Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6Don’t you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar. 7“Two things I have asked of you; don’t deny me before I die: 8Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me; 9lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. 10“Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty. 11There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn’t bless their mother. 12There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness. 13There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up. 14There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men. 15“The leach has two daughters: ‘Give, give.’ “There are three things that are never satisfied; four that don’t say, ‘Enough:’ 16Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’ 17“The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it. 18“There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I don’t understand: 19The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maiden. 20“So is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’ 21“For three things the earth tremble, and under four, it can’t bear up: 22For a servant when he is king; a fool when he is filled with food; 23for an unloved woman when she is married; and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress. 24“There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise: 25the ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer. 26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks. 27The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks. 28You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces. 29“There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going: 30The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn’t turn away for any; 31the greyhound, the male goat also; and the king against whom there is no rising up. 32“If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth. 33For as the churning of milk produces butter, and the wringing of the nose produces blood; so the forcing of wrath produces strife.”
1De woorden van Agur, den zoon van Jake; een last. De man spreekt tot Ithiel, tot Ithiel en Uchal. 2Voorwaar, ik ben onvernuftiger dan iemand; en ik heb geen mensenverstand; 3En ik heb geen wijsheid geleerd, noch de wetenschap der heiligen gekend. 4Wie is ten hemel opgeklommen, en nedergedaald? Wie heeft den wind in Zijn vuisten verzameld? Wie heeft de wateren in een kleed gebonden? Wie heeft al de einden der aarde gesteld? Hoe is Zijn Naam, en hoe is de Naam Zijns Zoons, zo gij het weet? 5Alle rede Gods is doorlouterd; Hij is een Schild dengenen, die op Hem betrouwen. 6Doe niet tot Zijn woorden, opdat Hij u niet bestraffe, en gij leugenachtig bevonden wordt. 7Twee dingen heb ik van U begeerd, onthoud ze mij niet, eer ik sterve: 8Ijdelheid en leugentaal doe verre van mij; armoede of rijkdom geef mij niet; voed mij met het brood mijns bescheiden deels; 9Opdat ik, zat zijnde, U dan niet verloochene, en zegge: Wie is de HEERE? of dat ik, verarmd zijnde, dan niet stele, en den Naam mijns Gods aantaste. 10Achterklap niet van den knecht bij zijn heer, opdat hij u niet vloeke, en gij schuldig wordt. 11Daar is een geslacht, dat zijn vader vervloekt, en zijn moeder niet zegent; 12Een geslacht, dat rein in zijn ogen is, en van zijn drek niet gewassen is; 13Een geslacht, welks ogen hoog zijn, en welks oogleden verheven zijn; 14Een geslacht, welks tanden zwaarden, en welks baktanden messen zijn, om de ellendigen van de aarde en de nooddruftigen van onder de mensen te verteren. 15De bloedzuiger heeft twee dochters: Geef, geef! Deze drie dingen worden niet verzadigd; ja, vier zeggen niet: Het is genoeg! 16Het graf, de gesloten baarmoeder, de aarde, die van water niet verzadigd wordt, en het vuur zegt niet: Het is genoeg! 17Het oog, dat den vader bespot, of de gehoorzaamheid der moeder veracht, dat zullen de raven der beek uitpikken, en des arends jongen zullen het eten. 18Deze drie dingen zijn voor mij te wonderlijk, ja, vier, die ik niet weet: 19De weg eens arends in den hemel; de weg ener slang op een rotssteen; de weg van een schip in het hart der zee; en de weg eens mans bij een maagd. 20Alzo is de weg ener overspelige vrouw; zij eet en wist haar mond, en zegt: Ik heb geen ongerechtigheid gewrocht! 21Om drie dingen ontroert zich de aarde, ja, om vier, die zij niet dragen kan: 22Om een knecht, als hij regeert; en een dwaas, als hij van brood verzadigd is; 23Om een hatelijke vrouw, als zij getrouwd wordt; en een dienstmaagd, als zij erfgenaam is van haar vrouw. 24Deze vier zijn van de kleinste der aarde; doch dezelve zijn wijs, met wijsheid wel voorzien. 25De mieren zijn een onsterk volk; evenwel bereiden zij in de zomer haar spijs. 26De konijnen zijn een machteloos volk; nochtans stellen zij hun huis in den rotssteen. 27De sprinkhanen hebben geen koning; nochtans gaan zij allen uit, zich verdelende in hopen. 28De spinnekop grijpt met de handen, en is in de paleizen der koningen. 29Deze drie maken een goeden tred; ja, vier zijn er, die een goeden gang maken; 30De oude leeuw geweldig onder de gedierten, die voor niemand zal wederkeren; 31Een windhond van goede lenden, of een bok; en een koning, die niet tegen te staan is. 32Zo gij dwaselijk gehandeld hebt, met u te verheffen, en zo gij kwaad bedacht hebt, de hand op den mond! 33Want de drukking der melk brengt boter voort, en de drukking van den neus brengt bloed voort, en de drukking des toorns brengt twist voort.
