Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are twisted.
Nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao nga agbibiag iti kinalinteg ngem iti maysa a maag a dakes ti panagsasaona.
2 Further, without knowledge desire is not good; and he who is over-quick in acting goes out of the right way.
Kasta met, a saan a nasayaat ti agtarigagay nga awanan iti pannakaammo, ken ti tumaray a nakaparpartak ket maiyaw-awan iti dalan.
3 By his foolish behaviour a man's ways are turned upside down, and his heart is bitter against the Lord.
Ti kinamaag ti maysa a tao ti mangdadael iti biagna, ken busbusorenna ni Yahweh.
4 Wealth makes a great number of friends; but the poor man is parted from his friend.
Umado ti gagayyem gapu iti kinabaknang, ngem maisina ti nakurapay a tao kadagiti gagayyemna.
5 A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will not go free.
Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ken saan a makalibas ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
6 Great numbers will make attempts to get the approval of a ruler: and every man is the special friend of him who has something to give.
Adunto dagiti dumawat iti pabor manipud iti mannangited a tao, ken tunggal maysa ket gayyem ti manangted iti sagut.
7 All the brothers of the poor man are against him: how much more do his friends go far from him! ...
Amin a kakabsat ti nakurapay a tao ket kagurada isuna; ad-adda pay ngarud nga ad-adaywan isuna dagiti gagayyemna! Aw-awaganna ida, ngem awandan.
8 He who gets wisdom has love for his soul: he who keeps good sense will get what is truly good.
Ti mangnaynayon iti kinasiribna ket ipatpategna ti bukodna a biag; ti mangsalsalimetmet iti pannakaawat ket makabirok iti naimbag.
9 A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will be cut off.
Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ngem mapukaw ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
10 Material comfort is not good for the foolish; much less for a servant to be put over rulers.
Saan a rumbeng nga agbiag iti narang-ay ti maysa a maag - ad-adda a saan a rumbeng nga iturayan ti maysa a tagabu dagiti prinsipe.
11 A man's good sense makes him slow to wrath, and the overlooking of wrongdoing is his glory.
Ti pannakaammo ti mangmangted iti kabaelan iti maysa a tao tapno saan a nalaka a makaunget, ken pakaidayawanna ti panangpalabasna iti nagbasolanda kenkuana.
12 The king's wrath is like the loud cry of a lion, but his approval is like dew on the grass.
Ti pungtot ti ari ket kasla panagngernger ti urbon a leon, ngem ti asina ket kasla linnaaw kadagiti karuotan.
13 A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.
Ti maag nga anak ket pakaibabainan ti amana, ken ti dumanayudom nga asawa a babai ket kas iti danum nga agtedtedted a kanayon.
14 House and wealth are a heritage from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.
Ti balay ken kinabaknang ket matawtawid manipud kadagiti nagannak, ngem ti nanakem nga asawa a babai ket aggapu kenni Yahweh.
15 Hate of work sends deep sleep on a man: and he who has no industry will go without food.
Ti kinasadut ket paturogenna ti tao, ngem agbisin ti tao a saanna a kayat ti agtrabaho.
16 He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.
Ti tao a mangtungtungpal iti bilin ket salsaluadanna ti biagna, ngem matay ti tao a saan a mangutob iti maipanggep kadagiti wagasna.
17 He who has pity on the poor gives to the Lord, and the Lord will give him his reward.
Ti siasinoman a naasi kadagiti nakurapay ket kasla padpadawatanna ni Yahweh, ket bayadanto ni Yahweh isuna kadagiti inaramidna.
18 Give your son training while there is hope; let not your heart be purposing his death.
Disiplinaam ti anakmo kabayatan nga adda pay namnama, ken saanmo koma nga itulok a mapukaw ti biagna.
19 A man of great wrath will have to take his punishment: for if you get him out of trouble you will have to do it again.
Masapul a bayadan ti tao a managpungtot ti pannusa; no ispalem isuna, masapul nga aramidem daytoy iti mamindua.
20 Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.
Denggem ti balakad ken awatem ti pannursuro, tapno sumiribka agingga iti pagpatinggaan ti biagmo.
21 A man's heart may be full of designs, but the purpose of the Lord is unchanging.
Adu dagiti plano iti puso ti maysa a tao, ngem ti plano ni Yahweh ti matungpal.
22 The ornament of a man is his mercy, and a poor man is better than one who is false.
Ti kinapudno ti tartarigagayan ti maysa a tao, ken nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao ngem ti ulbod.
23 The fear of the Lord gives life: and he who has it will have need of nothing; no evil will come his way.
Ti panangidaydayaw kenni Yahweh ti mangiturturong kadagiti tattao iti biag; mapnek ti siasinoman nga addaan kadagitoy ken saan a madangran.
24 The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.
Idisso ti sadut ti imana iti pinggan; a saanna payen a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
25 When blows overtake the man of pride, the simple will get sense; say sharp words to the wise, and knowledge will be made clear to him.
No dangram ti mananglais, agbalin a nanakem ti nengneng; ilintegmo ti adda pannakaawatna ket magun-odnanto ti pannakaammo.
26 He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.
Ti tao a taktakawanna ti amana ken pagtaltalawenna ti inana ket anak a mangipapaay iti pakaibabainan ken pakaum-umsian.
27 A son who no longer gives attention to teaching is turned away from the words of knowledge.
No isardengmo ti dumngeg iti pannursuro, anakko, malipatam dagiti sasao iti pannakaammo.
28 A good-for-nothing witness makes sport of the judge's decision: and the mouth of evil-doers sends out evil like a stream.
Lalaisen ti dakes a saksi ti hustisia, ken tiltilmunen ti ngiwat dagiti nadangkes ti basol.
29 Rods are being made ready for the man of pride, and blows for the back of the foolish.
Nakasaganan ti panangukom para kadagiti mananglais, ken ti saplit para kadagiti bukot dagiti maag.
