1 K uwanu 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 the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

2 H ubaal anigu waan ka doqonnimo weynahay nin kastaba, Oo dad waxgarashadiisana ma lihi.

Surely I am more carnal than any man and have not the understanding of a man.

3 X igmad ma aan baran, Aqoonta Kan quduuska ahna ma aqaan.

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

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

5 E ray kasta oo Ilaah waa daahir; Oo isagu wuxuu gaashaan u yahay kuwa isaga aaminsan.

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

6 E rayadiisa waxba ha ku darin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku canaantaa, oo lagu ogaadaa inaad beenaaleh tahay.

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

7 L aba waxyaalood ayaan ku weyddiistay, Iyaga ha ii diidin intaanan dhiman.

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

8 W ax aan waxtar lahayn iyo been iga fogee, Oo caydhnimo iyo taajirnimo midna ha i siin. Igu quudi cunto aanan ka maarmin,

Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my judgment:

9 W aaba 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.

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

10 A ddoon sayidkiisa xan ha uga sheegin, Waaba intaas oo uu ku habaaraa, oo eed lagugu helaaye.

¶ Do not accuse a slave in the presence of his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

11 W axaa jira farcan aabbahood inkaara, Oo aan hooyadoodna u ducayn.

There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.

12 W axaa jira farcan isla daahirsan, Oo weliba aan nijaastoodii ka maydhmin.

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

13 W axaa jira farcan indhahoodu aad u sarreeyaan! Oo daboolka indhahoodana kor bay u qaadaan.

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

14 W axaa 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 as swords, and their molars as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the destitute from among men.

15 C ulaacushu 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 horseleach has two daughters, which are called, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

16 W axaana weeye qabriga, iyo maxalka aan wax dhalayn, Iyo dhulka aan biyo ka dhergayn, Iyo dabka aan odhan, Bes, igu filan.

Sheol; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that never says, It is enough.

17 I sha aabbaheed ku majaajiloota, Oo quudhsata inay hooyadeed addeecdo, Waxaa la soo bixi doona tukayaasha dooxada, Oo waxaa cuni doona gorgorrada.

The eye that mocks at his father, and despises the teaching of his mother, the ravens shall pluck it out of the river, and the young eagles shall eat it.

18 W axaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo anigu aan aad ula yaabo, Haah, afar baan garan waayay,

¶ There are three things which are hidden from me, yea, four which I know not:

19 O o 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 track of the eagle in the air; the track of the serpent upon the rock; the track of the ship in the midst of the sea; and the track of the man in the maid.

20 S idaas oo kale waxaa ah naag dhillo ah sideeda, Taasoo intay wax cunto afka tirtirta, Oo haddana tidhaahda, Anigu waxba xumaan ma aan samayn.

Such is the track of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.

21 S addex waxyaalood ayaa dhulku la gariiraa, Oo afar baanu qaadan karin,

For three things the earth is disquieted, and the fourth it cannot bear:

22 W axaana weeye addoon markuu boqor noqdo, Iyo nacas markuu cunto ka dhergo,

For a slave when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with bread;

23 I yo naag la nacay markay guursato, Iyo gabadh addoon ahu markay sayidaddeedii meesheeda gasho.

for a rejected woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

24 W axaa jira afar waxyaalood oo dhulka ku yaryar, Laakiinse aad iyo aad u caqli badan.

¶ There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are wiser than the wise men:

25 Q udhaanjadu waa sida dad aan xoog badnayn, Laakiinse waxay cuntadooda soo diyaarsadaan guga.

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

26 W alooyinku waa qoon taagdaran, Oo haddana waxay guryahooda ka samaystaan dhagaxyada dhexdooda;

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

27 A yaxu boqor ma leh, Weliba dhammaantood guuto guuto ayay u socdaan.

the locusts have no king, yet all of them go forth by bands;

28 Q orratadu waa wax gacanta lagu qaban karo, Weliba waxay joogtaa guryaha boqorrada.

the spider takes hold with her hands and is in kings’ palaces.

29 W axaa jira saddex waxyaalood oo si fiican u socda, Haah, oo afar waa socod wanaagsan yihiin.

¶ There are three things which have a magnificent walk; yea, the fourth is stately in going:

30 A ar libaax oo ah kan xayawaanka ugu xoogga badan, Oo aan weliba midna dib uga noqon,

The lion which is strongest among beasts and does not turn away for any;

31 D iiqa xarragoonaya, iyo orgiga; Iyo boqorka aanay dadku gees ka ahayn.

the greyhound who is girded up of loins; a he goat also, and the king, against whom no one rises up.

32 H addaad nacasnimo samaysay adoo isa sarraysiinaya, Ama aad wax shar ah ka fikirtay, Gacanta afka saar.

If thou hast fallen, it is because thou hast lifted thyself up; and if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

33 W aayo, caanihii la lulaa subag bay soo saaraan, Sankii la maroojiyaana dhiig buu keenaa, Sidaas oo kalena cadhadii la qasbaa dirir bay keentaa.

Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood; so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
