Proverbs 14
1 Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman plucks it down with her own hands.
Ti masirib a babai ur-urnosenna ti balayna, ngem ti maag a babai ket daddadaelenna daytoy babaen kadagiti mismo wagasna.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears Jehovah, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
Ti agbibiag a nalinteg ket addaan iti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh, ngem ti saan a napudno iti wagasna ket um-umsienna ni Yahweh.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
Manipud iti ngiwat ti maag tumaud ti kinatangsitna, ngem dagiti bibig dagiti masirib ti mangsalaknib kadakuada.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but by the strength of the ox is much increase.
No awan ti baka, nadalus ti kulloong, ngem mabalin a maadda ti nawadwad nga apit babaen iti pigsa ti baka.
5 A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness utters lies.
Ti napudno a saksi saan nga agul-ulbod, ngem ti palso a saksi agisawsawng iti inuulbod.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and finds it not, but knowledge is easy to him who has understanding.
Ti tao a mangipagpagarup a nalalaing isuna ngem iti dadduma ket kasla mangbirbiruk iti kinasirib ket awan mabirukanna, ngem nalaka nga umay ti pannakaammo iti tao a masirib.
7 Go into the presence of a foolish man, and thou shall not perceive the lips of knowledge.
Adaywam ti maag a tao, ta awan ti maadalmo kenkuana.
8 The wisdom of a prudent man is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.
Ti kinasirib ti nanakem a tao ket ti panangawatna iti bukodna a biag, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket panangallilaw.
9 Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is good will.
Manglalais dagiti maag no maidaton ti daton a para iti basol, ngem pagbibingayan dagiti nalinteg ti pabor.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not intermeddle with its joy.
Ammo ti puso ti bukodna a kinasaem, ket awan ganggannaet a makabingay iti rag-ona.
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown, but the tent of the upright shall flourish.
Madadael ti balay dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem rumangpaya ti tolda dagiti nalinteg a tattao.
12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Adda dalan a kasla nalinteg iti panagkita ti maysa a tao, ngem ti pagtungpalanna ket iti laeng patay.
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of mirth is heaviness.
Mabalin nga agkatawa ti maysa a puso ngem makarikna latta ti ut-ot, ken mabalin a ti rag-o ket agtungpal laeng iti panagladingit.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and a good man from his own fruits.
Gun-odento ti tao a saan a napudno ti maiparbeng iti wagasna, ngem gun-odento ti nasayaat a tao ti rumbeng kenkuana.
15 A simple man believes every word, but the prudent man looks well to his going.
Ti tao a saan a nasursuroan ket mamati iti amin a banbanag, ngem ti nanakem a tao ket ad-adalenna dagiti addangna.
16 A wise man fears, and departs from evil, but the fool bears himself insolently, and is confident.
Ti masirib a tao ket addaan iti panagbuteng ken ad-adaywanna ti dakes, ngem sitatalek ti maag a mangikkat iti ballaag.
17 He who is soon angry will deal foolishly. And a man of wicked devices is hated.
Ti tao a nalaka nga agunget ket agar-aramid kadagiti minamaag a banbanag, ken ti tao nga agar-aramid kadagiti dakes a panggep ket magurgura.
18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Tawiden dagiti saan a nasursuroan a tattao ti kinanengneng ngem napalikmutan iti pannakaammo dagiti nanakem a tattao.
19 The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
Dagiti dakes ket agruknoyto iti sangoanan dagiti naimbag, ken dagiti nadangkes agruknoyto kadagiti ruangan dagiti nalinteg.
20 The poor man is regarded inferior even by his own neighbor, but the rich man has many friends.
Ti tao a napanglaw ket magurgura uray pay kadagiti kakaduana, ngem ti tao a nabaknang ket adu ti gagayyemna.
21 He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor, happy is he.
Agbasbasol ti tao a mangipakpakita iti gurana iti kaarrubana, ngem naragsak ti tao a mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti napanglaw.
22 Do they not err who devise evil? But mercy and truth are to those who devise good.
Saan aya a dagiti agpangpanggep iti kinadakes ket maiyaw-awan? Ngem dagiti agpangpanggep iti nasayaat ket umawat iti kinapudno iti tulag ken kinamatalek.
23 In all labor there is profit, but the talk of the lips tends only to poverty.
Tumaud ti gunggona manipud kadagiti amin a nagbannogan, ngem no ti adda laeng ket sao, mangiturong daytoy iti kinapanglaw.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches. The foolishness of fools is folly.
Ti balangat dagiti masirib a tattao ket ti kinabaknangda, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket mangmangiyeg kadakuada iti ad-adda pay a kinamaag.
25 A true witness delivers souls, but he who utters lies causes deceit.
Ti napudno a saksi ket is-ispalenna ti biag, ngem ti palso a saksi ket agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
26 In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, and his sons shall have a place of refuge.
No ti maysa a tao ket agbuteng kenni Yahweh, addaan met isuna iti panagtalek kenni Yahweh; dagitoy a banbanag ket kaslanto natibker a lugar a salaknib para kadagiti annak dagiti tattao.
27 The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket maiyarig a burayok ti biag, tapno maadaywan ti tao dagiti silo ti patay.
28 In the multitude of people is the king's glory, but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
Ti dayag ti ari ket masarakan kadagiti adu a tattaona, ngem no awan ti tattao ket madadael ti prinsipe.
29 He who is slow to anger is of great understanding, but he who is hasty of spirit exalts folly.
Ti tao a naanus ket addaan dakkel a pannakaawat, ngem ti tao a nalaka nga agpungtot ket mangitantan-ok iti kinamaag.
30 A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh, but envy is the rottenness of the bones.
Ti nasayaat a panagpanpanunot ket biag ti bagi, ngem runrunoten ti apal dagiti tultulang.
31 He who oppresses a poor man reproaches his maker, but he who has mercy on a needy man honors him.
Ti mangidaddadanes kadagiti napanglaw ket ilunlunodna ti Nangparsua kenkuana, ngem ti mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti agkasapulan ket mangpadpadayaw kenni Yahweh.
32 An evil man is thrust down in his evil-doing, but a righteous man has hope in his death.
Ti nadangkes a tao ket ipabpababa dagiti dakes nga aramidna, ngem ti nalinteg a tao ket addaan iti pagkamangan uray iti patay.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, but what is in the inward part of fools is made known.
Agtaltalinaed ti sirib iti puso ti addaan pannakaawat, ngem uray kadagiti maag ket ipakpakaammona ti bagina.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
Ti panagaramid iti umno ti mangitantan-ok iti nasion, ngem ti basol ket pakaibabainan ti siasinoman a tao.
35 The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath will be to him who causes shame.
Ti pabor ti ari ket adda iti adipen a nanakem, ngem ti ungetna ket maipaay iti agar-aramid iti pakaibabainan.
