Proverbs 11
1 A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah, but a just weight is his delight.
Kagurgura ni Yahweh ti nakaur a timbangan, ngem pakaragsakanna ti apag-isu a dagsen.
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with the lowly is wisdom.
No rumsua ti panagpannakkel, umay met ti pannakaibabain, ngem iti kinapakumbaba umay ti kinasirib.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
Ti kinamatalek dagiti nalinteg ti mangidalan kadakuada, ngem dagiti nakillo a wagwagas dagiti mangliliput ti mangdadael mismo kadakuada.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
Awan serserbina ti kinabaknang iti aldaw ti pungtot, ngem ti panagaramid iti nalinteg iyadayonaka iti patay.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way, but the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness.
Ti nalinteg nga aramid ti tao nga awan pakapilawanna ti mangpalinteg iti dalanna, ngem madadaelto dagiti nadangkes gapu iti bukodda a kinadangkes.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.
Ti umno nga ugali dagiti mangay-ayo iti Dios ti mangpatalinaed kadakuada a natalged, ngem mapalab-ogan dagiti mangliliput babaen kadagiti kalikagumda.
7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of iniquity perishes.
No adda matay a tao a nadangkes, agpukaw ti namnamana, ket awanto ti pagturongan ti namnama nga adda iti bilegna.
8 A righteous man is delivered out of trouble, and a wicked man comes in his stead.
Ti agar-aramid iti nalinteg ket maiyadayo iti riribuk, ketdi, dumteng daytoy kadagiti nadangkes.
9 The hypocrite destroys his neighbor with his mouth, but the righteous shall be delivered through knowledge.
Babaen iti ngiwatna, dadaelen ti tao nga awanan iti dios ti kaarrubana, ngem babaen iti pannakaammo ket agtalinaed a natalged dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
No rumang-ay dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg, agrag-o ti siudad; no mapukaw dagiti nadangkes, adda panagdirdir-i.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Babaen kadagiti nasasayaat a sagut dagiti mangay-ayo iti Dios, maidayaw ti siudad; gapu iti ngiwat dagiti nadangkes, marba ti siudad.
12 He who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
Awan ammo ti tao a manglais iti gayyemna, ngem naulimek ti tao nga addaan pannakaawat.
13 He who goes around as a tale-bearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.
Ti siasinoman a mapmapan mangperperdi ket agipalpalgak kadagiti palimed, ngem ti napudno a tao ket saluadanna ti palimed.
14 Where no wise guidance is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
No awan ti nasirib a panangidalan, madadael ti nasion, ngem umay ti panagballigi babaen iti panangiyuman kadagiti adu a mammagbaga.
15 He who is surety for a stranger shall smart for it, but he who hates suretyship is secure.
Siasinoman a mangpatalged iti utang ti ganggannaet ket sigurado nga agsagabanto, ngem natalged ti tao a kagurgurana ti agkari babaen iti kasta.
16 A gracious woman obtains honor, and aggressive men obtain riches.
Ti naparabur a babai, magun-odna ti pammadayaw, ngem dagiti naulpit a tattao, petpetpetanda ti kinabaknang.
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
Ti naasi a tao gunggunaanna ti bagina, ngem ti naulpit a tao saksaktanna ti bagina.
18 A wicked man earns deceitful wages, but he who sows righteousness has a sure reward.
Agulbod ti nadangkes a tao tapno magun-odna ti gunggunana, ngem ti tao nga agmula iti umno ket apitenna ti supapak ti kinapudno.
19 He who is steadfast in righteousness comes to life, and he who pursues evil comes to his own death.
Ti napudno a tao nga agar-aramid iti umno ket agbiag, ngem ti tao a mangkamkamat iti kinadakes ket matay.
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah, but such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
Kagurgura ni Yahweh dagiti dakes ti pusoda, ngem pakaragsakanna dagiti tattao nga awan pakababalawan dagiti wagwagasda.
21 Hand in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished, but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
Sigurado daytoy—madusanto dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem natalgedto dagiti kaputotan dagiti agar-aramid iti umno.
22 A ring of gold in a swine's snout, is a beautiful woman who is without discretion.
Kasla aritus a balitok iti subsob ti baboy ti napintas a babai nga awanan pannakaawat.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
Dagiti tarigagay dagiti agaramid iti umno ket agbanag a nasayaat, ngem pungtot laeng ti manamnama dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
24 There is he who scatters, and increases yet more, and there he is who withholds more than is proper, but only to want.
Adda maysa a tao a managmula iti bukel— ad-addunto pay ti maapitna; adda met sabali saan a managmula, pumanglaw isuna.
25 The generous soul shall be made prosperous, and he who waters shall also be watered himself.
Ti naparabur a tao ket rumang-ay, ken ti tao a manangted iti danum iti sabali ket maaddanto iti danum a para iti bagina.
26 The people shall curse him who withholds grain, but a blessing shall be upon the head of him who sells it.
Ilunodto dagiti tattao ti tao nga agkedked nga aglako iti bukel, ngem mabalangatan iti nasasayaat a sagsagut ti ulo ti tao nga agilaklako iti daytoy.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
Ti tao a napasnek nga agbiruk iti kinaimbag ket makasarak pay iti parabur, ngem ti tao a mangsapsapul iti dakes ket masarakannanto ti dakes.
28 He who trusts in his riches shall fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
Madadael dagiti agtalek kadagiti kinabaknangda, ngem kas iti bulong ket lumangto dagiti agar-aramid iti umno.
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. And a foolish man shall be servant to a wise man of heart.
Ti tao a mangmangyeg iti riribuk iti balayna ket agtawiddanto iti angin, ken ti maag ket agbalinto nga adipen ti tao a nasirib.
30 The fruit of a righteous man is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls.
Dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket kaslanto iti kayo ti biag, ngem ti kinaranggas ket ik-ikkatenna ti biag.
31 Behold, a righteous man shall be recompensed in the earth, how much more the wicked man and the sinner!
No dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket aw-awatenda ti maiparbeng kadakuada, kasta met ngarud ti nadangkes ken ti managbasol!
