12 Kinsa man ang tawo nga nagtinguha sa kinabuhi ug naghigugma sa daghang mga adlaw, aron makita niya ang maayo?
If [RHQ] any of you wants to enjoy life and have a good long life,
13 Busa bantayi ang inyong dila sa pagsultig daotan ug bantayi ang inyong ngabil sa pagsultig bakak.
do not say anything that is evil! Do not tell lies!
14 Biyai ang daotan ug buhata ang maayo. Pangitaa ang kalinaw ug paninguhaa kini.

15 Ang mga mata ni Yahweh anaa sa matarong ug ang iyang mga dalunggan nakadungog sa ilang pagtuaw.
Yahweh [MTY] carefully watches over those who [act] righteously; he always responds [MTY] to them when they call [to him for help].

But Yahweh [SYN] (is opposed to/turns away from) those who do what is evil. [And after they die], people will forget them completely.

20 Ampingan niya ang tanan niyang kabukogan, nga walay mabali bisan usa niini.
Yahweh protects them from being harmed; [when their enemies attack them], they will not break any bones of those righteous people.
21 Ang daotan maoy mopatay sa daotang tawo. Kadtong nagdumot sa matarong pagasilotan.
Wicked people will be killed by their own evil deeds (OR, by [people doing to them] the same evil things [that the wicked do to others]) [PRS], and Yahweh will punish those who oppose righteous people.
