1 verba Congregantis filii Vomentis visio quam locutus est vir cum quo est Deus et qui Deo secum morante confortatus ait
1 These are the solemn words of Agur son of Jakeh: "God is not with me, God is not with me, and I am helpless.
2 stultissimus sum virorum et sapientia hominum non est mecum
2 I am more like an animal than a human being; I do not have the sense we humans should have.
3 non didici sapientiam et non novi sanctorum scientiam
3 I have never learned any wisdom, and I know nothing at all about God.
4 quis ascendit in caelum atque descendit quis continuit spiritum manibus suis quis conligavit aquas quasi in vestimento quis suscitavit omnes terminos terrae quod nomen eius et quod nomen filii eius si nosti
4 Have any ever mastered heavenly knowledge? Have any ever caught the wind in their hands? Or wrapped up water in a piece of cloth? Or fixed the boundaries of the earth? Who are they, if you know? Who are their children?
5 omnis sermo Dei ignitus clypeus est sperantibus in se
5 "God keeps every promise he makes. He is like a shield for all who seek his protection.

6 If you claim that he said something that he never said, he will reprimand you and show that you are a liar."
7 duo rogavi te ne deneges mihi antequam moriar
7 I ask you, God, to let me have two things before I die:

8 keep me from lying, and let me be neither rich nor poor. So give me only as much food as I need.
9 ne forte saturatus inliciar ad negandum et dicam quis est Dominus et egestate conpulsus furer et peierem nomen Dei mei
9 If I have more, I might say that I do not need you. But if I am poor, I might steal and bring disgrace on my God.

33 If you churn milk, you get butter. If you hit someone's nose, it bleeds. If you stir up anger, you get into trouble.
