1PALABRAS de Agur, hijo de Jachê: La profecía que dijo el varón á Ithiel, á Ithiel y á Ucal.
1The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
2Ciertamente más rudo soy yo que ninguno, ni tengo entendimiento de hombre.
2I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
3Yo ni aprendí sabiduría, ni conozco la ciencia del Santo.
3I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
4¿Quién subió al cielo, y descendió? ¿quién encerró los vientos en sus puños? ¿quién ató las aguas en un paño? ¿quién afirmó todos los términos de la tierra? ¿cuál es su nombre, y el nombre de su hijo, si sabes?
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
5Toda palabra de Dios es limpia; es escudo á los que en él esperan.
5Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
6No añadas á sus palabras, porque no te reprenda, y seas hallado mentiroso.
6Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
7Dos cosas te he demandado; no me las niegues antes que muera.
7Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
8Vanidad y palabra mentirosa aparta de mí. No me des pobreza ni riquezas; manténme del pan que he menester;
8Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
9No sea que me harte, y te niegue, y diga, ¿Quién es Jehová? ó no sea que siendo pobre, hurte, y blasfeme el nombre de mi Dios.
9Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
10No acuses al siervo ante su señor, porque no te maldiga, y peques.
10Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
11Hay generación que maldice á su padre, y á su madre no bendice.
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12Hay generación limpia en su opinión, si bien no se ha limpiado su inmundicia.
12A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13Hay generación cuyos ojos son altivos, y cuyos párpados son alzados.
13A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
14Hay generación cuyos dientes son espadas, y sus muelas cuchillos, para devorar á los pobres de la tierra, y de entre los hombres á los menesterosos.
14A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
15La sanguijuela tiene dos hijas que se llaman , Trae, trae. Tres cosas hay que nunca se hartan; aun la cuarta nunca dice, Basta:
15The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
16El sepulcro, y la matriz estéril, la tierra no harta de aguas, y el fuego que jamás dice, Basta.
16Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.
17El ojo que escarnece á su padre, y menosprecia la enseñanza de la madre, los cuervos lo saquen de la arroyada, y tráguenlo los hijos del águila.
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
18Tres cosas me son ocultas; aun tampoco sé la cuarta:
18Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
19El rastro del águila en el aire; el rastro de la culebra sobre la peña; el rastro de la nave en medio de la mar; y el rastro del hombre en la moza.
19The 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 in youth.
20Tal es el rastro de la mujer adúltera: come, y limpia su boca, y dice: No he hecho maldad.
20Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
21Por tres cosas se alborota la tierra, y la cuarta no puede sufrir:
21By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
22Por el siervo cuando reinare; y por el necio cuando se hartare de pan;
22By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
23Por la aborrecida cuando se casare; y por la sierva cuando heredare á su señora.
23By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
24Cuatro cosas son de las más pequeñas de la tierra, y las mismas son más sabias que los sabios:
24There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25Las hormigas, pueblo no fuerte, y en el verano preparan su comida;
25The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26Los conejos, pueblo nada esforzado, y ponen su casa en la piedra;
26The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27Las langostas, no tienen rey, y salen todas acuadrilladas;
27The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
28La araña, ase con las manos, y está en palacios de rey.
28The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
29Tres cosas hay de hermoso andar, y la cuarta pasea muy bien:
29There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30El león, fuerte entre todos los animales, que no torna atrás por nadie;
30A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31El lebrel ceñido de lomos; asimismo el macho cabrío; y un rey contra el cual ninguno se levanta.
31A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32Si caiste, fué porque te enalteciste; y si mal pensaste, pon el dedo sobre la boca.
32There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
33Ciertamente el que exprime la leche, sacará manteca; y el que recio se suena las narices, sacará sangre: y el que provoca la ira, causará contienda.
33And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
