Proverbs 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool.
Niebe iti panawen ti tikag wenno tudo iti panawen iti panagapit ti pakaiyarigan ti maag a saan a maikari a mapadayawan.
2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, so the curse that is causeless does not alight.
Ti panagakar-akar ti billit tuleng ken ti napartak a panagtayab ti sallapingaw ti pakaiyarigan ti lunod a saan a maikari nga agdissuor.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.
Ti baut ket para iti kabalio, ti busal ket para iti asno ken ti kayo a pagbaut ket para kadagiti maag.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like to him.
Saanmo a sungsungbatan ken danggayan ti maag iti kinamaagna, ta no aramidem dayta ket agbalinka a kas kenkuana.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Sungbatam iti minamaag ti tao a maag ken danggayam iti kinamaagna tapno saan isuna nga agbalin a nasirib iti bukodna a panagkita.
6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet, and drinks injury.
Ti siasinoman a mangipatulod iti mensahe iti maysa a maag ket arigna a putputdenna ti sakana ken in-inumenna ti pakadangranna.
7 The legs of a lame man hang loose. So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
Dagiti agbitbitin a saka ti maysa a paralitiko ket maiyarig iti maysa a proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
8 As he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
Ti panangigalut iti bato iti maysa a palsiit ket kapada ti panangpadayaw iti maysa a maag.
9 As a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
Ti sisiit nga igi-iggem ti maysa a nabartek ket kasla proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
10 As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool, and he who hires those who pass by.
Ti pumapana a mangsugsugat iti uray siasinoman ket kasla tay tao a mangtangtangdan iti maag wenno uray siasinoman a lumabas.
11 As a dog who returns to his vomit, is a fool who repeats his folly.
Aso a mangdildilpat iti sarwana ti pakaiyarigan ti maysa a maag a mangulit-ulit iti minamaag nga aramidna.
12 See thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a fool than of him.
Adda kadi makitkitam a nasirib iti bukodna a panagkita? Adda ad-adu a namnama para iti maysa a maag ngem iti kas kenkuana.
13 The sluggard says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
Ibagbaga ti sadut a tao nga, “Adda leon iti dalan! Adda leon kadagiti plasa!”
14 The door turns upon its hinges, so does the sluggard upon his bed.
Ti panagpusipos ti ridaw iti bisagrana ti pakaiyarigan ti panagbalibalikid ti nasadut a tao iti pagid-iddaanna.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. It wearies him to bring it again to his mouth.
Ti sadut a tao ket ikabilna ti imana iti pinggan, ngem saanna man laeng a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men who can render a reason.
Iti panagkita ti maysa a sadut a tao ket nasirsirib isuna ngem iti pito a lallaki nga addaan iti kinatimbeng.
17 He who passes by, and meddles with strife not his, is like he who takes a dog by the ears.
Ti tao a lumabas a makaunget iti panagsisinnupiat a saanna met a pakaseknan ket kasla tay tao a mangtengngel kadagiti lapayag ti maysa nga aso.
18 As a madman who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
Agmauyong a tao a mangibibiat iti umap-apuy a pana
19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says, Am I not in sport?
ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangal-allilaw iti karrubana sana kuna, “Agang-angawak laeng!”
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, contention ceases.
Ta no awan ti kayo, maiddep ti apuy, ken no awan ti manangperdi iti padana a tao, agsardeng ti panagaapa.
21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to inflame strife.
Uging a bumegbeggang ken kayo nga agapuy ti kaiyarigan ti mannakiapa a tao a mangpakaro iti panagririri.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts.
Dagiti sasao a pammadpadakes ket maiyarig iti sangkasakmol a naimas a makan; umunegda iti kaunggan a paset ti bagi.
23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart are an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
Ti pirak a naikalupkop iti banga ket kasla umap-apuy a bibig ken dakes a panagpuspuso.
24 He who hates masquerades with his lips, but he lays up deceit within him.
Ti siasinoman a gumurgura iti dadduma ket kalkalubanna ti riknana babaen kadagiti ibagbagana, ken ur-urnongenna ti kinaulbodna iti kaungganna.
25 When he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Agsao isuna iti nasayaat, ngem saanmo a patpatien isuna, ta adda pito a makarimon iti pusona.
26 Though his hatred cover itself with guile, his wickedness shall be openly shown before the assembly.
Uray no ti gurana ket nakaluban iti panangallilaw, maammoanto ti sangkagimongan ti kinadangkesna.
27 He who digs a pit shall fall in it, and he who rolls a stone, it shall return upon him.
Ti siasinoman a mangkali iti abut ket matnag iti daytoy, ken agtulid nga agsubli ti bato iti siasinoman a nangiduron iti daytoy.
28 A lying tongue hates those whom it has wounded, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Kagurgura ti ulbod a dila dagiti tattao nga irurrurumenna, ken mangipapaay iti pannakadadael ti manangpatiray-ok a ngiwat.
