Proverbs 30 - Listen Online

¹ Ọ̀RỌ Aguri, ọmọ Jake, ọ̀rọ ẹkọ́ ti ọkunrin na ti sọ, fun Itieli, ani fun Itieli ati Ukali.

¹ The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

² Nitõtọ emi ṣiwère jù ẹlomiran lọ, emi kò si ni imoye enia.

² Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.

³ Emi kò tilẹ kọ́ ọgbọ́n, emi kò tilẹ ni ìmọ ohun mimọ́.

³ I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

⁴ Tali o ti gòke lọ si ọrun, tabi ti o si sọkalẹ wá? tali o kó afẹfẹ jọ li ọwọ rẹ̀? tali o di omi sinu aṣọ; tali o fi gbogbo opin aiye le ilẹ? Orukọ rẹ̀ ti ijẹ, ati orukọ ọmọ rẹ̀ ti ijẹ, bi iwọ ba le mọ̀ ọ?

⁴ Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

⁵ Gbogbo ọ̀rọ Oluwa jẹ́ otitọ: on li asà fun gbogbo awọn ti o gbẹkẹ wọn le e.

⁵ Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

⁶ Iwọ máṣe fi kún ọ̀rọ rẹ̀, ki on má ba ba ọ wi, a si mu ọ li eke.

⁶ Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

⁷ Ohun meji ni mo tọrọ lọdọ rẹ; máṣe fi wọn dù mi ki emi to kú.

⁷ Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

⁸ Mu asan ati eke jìna si mi: máṣe fun mi li òṣi, máṣe fun mi li ọrọ̀; fi onjẹ ti o to fun mi bọ mi.

⁸ Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

⁹ Ki emi ki o má ba yó jù, ki emi ki o má si sẹ́ ọ, pe ta li Oluwa? tabi ki emi má ba tòṣi, ki emi si jale, ki emi si ṣẹ̀ si orukọ Ọlọrun mi.

⁹ Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

¹⁰ Máṣe fi iranṣẹ sùn oluwa rẹ̀, ki o má ba fi ọ bu, ki iwọ má ba jẹbi.

¹⁰ Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

¹¹ Iran kan wà ti nfi baba rẹ̀ bu, ti kò si sure fun iya rẹ̀.

¹¹ There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

¹² Iran kan wà, ti o mọ́ li oju ara rẹ̀, ṣugbọn a kò ti iwẹ̀ ẹ nù kuro ninu ẽri rẹ̀.

¹² There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

¹³ Iran kan wà, yẽ, oju rẹ̀ ti gbega to! ipenpeju rẹ̀ si gbé soke.

¹³ There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

¹⁴ Iran kan wà, ehin ẹniti o dabi idà, erigi rẹ̀ dabi ọbẹ, lati jẹ talaka run kuro lori ilẹ, ati awọn alaini kuro ninu awọn enia.

¹⁴ There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

¹⁵ Eṣúṣu ni ọmọbinrin meji, ti nkigbe pe, Muwá, muwá. Ohun mẹta ni mbẹ ti a kò le tẹ lọrùn lai, ani mẹrin kì iwipe, o to.

¹⁵ The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

¹⁶ Isa-okú, ati inu àgan; ilẹ ti kì ikún fun omi; ati iná ti kì iwipe, o to.

¹⁶ The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

¹⁷ Oju ti o sin baba rẹ̀ jẹ, ti o gàn ati gbọ́ ti iya rẹ̀, kanakáná ẹba odò ni yio yọ ọ jade, ọmọ idì a si mu u jẹ.

¹⁷ The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

¹⁸ Ohun mẹta ni mbẹ ti o ṣe iyanu fun mi, nitõtọ, mẹrin li emi kò mọ̀.

¹⁸ There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

¹⁹ Ipa idì loju ọrun; ipa ejò lori apata: ipa ọkọ̀ loju okun; ati ìwa ọkunrin pẹlu wundia.

¹⁹ 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 maid.

²⁰ Bẹ̃ni ìwa agbere obinrin: o jẹun, o si nù ẹnu rẹ̀ nù, o si wipe, emi kò ṣe buburu kan.

²⁰ Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

²¹ Nitori ohun mẹta, aiye a di rũru, ati labẹ mẹrin ni kò le duro.

²¹ For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:

²² Iranṣẹ, nigbati o jọba; ati aṣiwère, nigbati o yo fun onjẹ;

²² For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

²³ Fun obinrin, ti a korira, nigbati a sọ ọ di iyale; ati fun iranṣẹbinrin, nigbati o di arole iya rẹ̀.

²³ For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

²⁴ Ohun mẹrin ni mbẹ ti o kerejù lori ilẹ, sibẹ nwọn gbọ́n, nwọn kọ́ni li ẹkọ́.

²⁴ There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

²⁵ Alailagbara enia li ẽra, ṣugbọn nwọn a pese onjẹ wọn silẹ ni ìgba ẹ̀run.

²⁵ The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

²⁶ Alailagbara enia li ehoro, ṣugbọn nwọn a ṣe ìho wọn ni ibi palapala okuta.

²⁶ The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

²⁷ Awọn ẽṣú kò li ọba, sibẹ gbogbo wọn a jade lọ li ọwọ́-ọwọ́;

²⁷ The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

²⁸ Ọmọle fi ọwọ rẹ̀ dì mu, o si wà li ãfin awọn ọba.

²⁸ The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

²⁹ Ohun mẹta ni mbẹ ti nrìn rere, nitõtọ, mẹrin li o dára pupọ ni ìrin rirìn:

²⁹ There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:

³⁰ Kiniun ti o lagbara julọ ninu ẹranko, ti kò si pẹhinda fun ẹnikan;

³⁰ A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

³¹ Ẹṣin ti a dì lẹgbẹ; ati obukọ; ati ọba larin awọn enia rẹ̀.

³¹ A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

³² Bi iwọ ba ti ṣiwère ni gbigbe ara rẹ soke, tabi bi iwọ ba ti ronú ibi, fi ọwọ rẹ le ẹnu rẹ.

³² If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

³³ Nitõtọ, mimì wàra ni imu orí-àmọ́ wá, ati fifun imu ni imu ẹ̀jẹ jade; bẹ̃ni riru ibinu soke ni imu ìja wá.

³³ Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
