Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal,
Agura, Jakes dēla, vārdi šā vīra sludināšana un mācība. Es esmu nodarbojies ar Dievu, esmu nodarbojies ar Dievu un noguris.
2 Surely I am more stupid than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
Jo es esmu nejēga pār citiem, un man nav cilvēka saprašanas!
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
Es arī gudrības neesmu mācījies, nedz svētu atzīšanu atzinis.
4 Who hath ascended 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?
Kas ir uzkāpis debesīs un nācis zemē? Kas sagrābj vēju savās rokas? Kas saista ūdeni drēbē? Kas liek zemei visas robežas? Kāds viņam vārds, un kāds viņa dēlam vārds, ja tu to zini?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them that put their trust in him.
Visi Dieva vārdi ir šķīsti; Viņš ir par priekšturamām bruņām tiem, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
6 Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Nepieliec nekā pie viņa vārdiem, ka viņš tevi nesoda, un tu netopi atrasts melkulis.
7 Two things have I required of thee; deny them not to me before I die:
Divas lietas lūdzos no tevis, neliedz man tās, pirms es mirstu:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Nelietība un meli lai paliek tālu no manis; nabadzību un bagātību nedod man, bet paēdini mani ar manu dienišķu maizi,
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.
Ka es paēdis tevi neaizliedzu un nesaku: Kas ir Tas Kungs? vai nabags palicis nezogu un sava Dieva vārdu velti nevalkāju. -
10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
Neapmelo kalpu pie viņa kunga, ka viņš tevi nelād, un tu netopi noziedzīgs.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Ir suga, kas tēvu lād un māti nesvētī;
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
Ir suga, kas pati savās acīs šķīsta, bet no saviem sārņiem nav mazgāta;
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Ir suga, cik augsti tā ceļ acis, cik augsti acu plakstiņus!
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.
Ir suga, zobeni ir viņas zobi un naži viņas dzerokļi, rīt nabagus no zemes nost un sērdienīšus cilvēku starpā. -
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:
Asins sūcējai ir divas meitas: „Dod šurp, dod šurp!“- Šās trīs nav pieēdināmas, un tā ceturtā nesaka: Gan.
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough. (Sheol h7585)
Elle, neauglīgais klēpis, zeme, nepiedzirdināma ar ūdeni, un uguns nesaka: Gan. - (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh at its father, and despiseth to obey its mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
Acs, kas tēvu apsmej un liedzās mātei klausīt, to izknābs kraukļi pie upes, un jaunie ērgļi to ēdīs.
18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
Šās trīs lietas man ir visai brīnums, un to ceturto es neizprotu:
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.
Ērgļa ceļš debesīs, čūskas ceļš pār klinti, laivas ceļš jūras vidū un vīra ceļš pie meitas.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
Tāds pat ir sievas ceļš, kas laulību pārkāpj; viņa ēd, noslauka muti un saka: Es ļauna neesmu darījusi. -
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
Par trim lietām nodreb zeme, un ceturto tā nevar panest:
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with food;
Par kalpu, kad tas paliek par kungu, un par ģeķi, kad tas maizes paēdis,
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Par nopeltu, kad tā tiek pie vīra, un par kalponi, kad tā top savas saimnieces mantiniece.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are very wise:
Šie četri ir mazi virs zemes un tomēr gudrāki nekā tie gudrie:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
Skudras, nespēcīga tauta, tomēr savu barību vasarā sagādā;
26 The conies are but a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
Truši, nespēcīga tauta, tomēr liek savus namus akmens kalnos;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
Siseņiem nav ķēniņa, tomēr viņi visi iziet, pulkos dalīti;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
Zirneklis auž abām rokām, un tomēr ir ķēniņu pilīs.-
29 There are three things which go well, yea, four are stately in going:
Šiem trim ir laba gaita, un tas ceturtais iet it lepni:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
Vecs lauva, varens starp zvēriem, kas nevienam ceļu negriež.
31 A greyhound; a male goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
Ērzelis, kam labi gurni, vai āzis, un ķēniņš, savus ļaudis vedot.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Ja tu ģeķis bijis, paaugstinādamies, un ko nodomājis, tad: roku uz muti!
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.
Satricini pienu, būs sviests; satrīcini degunu, būs asinis; un satrīcini dusmas, būs plēšanās.
