Proverbs 25
1 These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
Dagitoy dagiti dadduma pay a nainsiriban a sasao ni Solomon nga insurat dagiti tattao ni Ezekias nga ari ti Juda.
2 It is the glory of God to keep a thing secret: but the glory of kings is to have it searched out.
Pakaitan-okan ti Dios ti panangilimedna iti maysa a banag, ngem pakaidayawan dagiti ari ti mangsukimat iti daytoy.
3 The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out.
Kas kangato dagiti langit a nangato ken kauneg ti daga, kasta ti kaiyarigan ti panangsukimat iti puso dagiti ari.
4 Take away the waste from silver, and a vessel will come out for the silver-worker.
Ikkatem ti lati iti pirak, tapno mabalin nga aramaten ti mammanday ti pirak.
5 Take away evil-doers from before the king, and the seat of his power will be made strong in righteousness.
Kasta met nga ikkatem dagiti nadangkes a tattao iti imatang ti ari ket mapatibkerto ti tronona babaen iti panangaramidna iti umno.
6 Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:
Saanmo nga itan-ok ti bagim iti imatang ti ari ken saanka nga agtakder iti disso a para laeng kadagiti natatakneng a tattao.
7 For it is better to have it said to you, Come up here; than for you to be put down in a lower place before the ruler.
Nasaysayaat nga ibagana kenka nga, “Umaykadtoy,” ngem iti maibabainka iti sangoanan ti natakneng a tao. Ti nasaksiam,
8 Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame?
ket saanmo a dagus nga ipausig. Ta anianto ngay ti maaramidam no sikanto ti ibabain ti kaarrubam iti dayta a nasaksiam?
9 Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:
Pagiinnadalanyo ti saanyo a pagkinnaawatan iti kaarrubam a dakdakayo laeng ket saanmo nga ipakaammo dayta a palimed iti sabali,
10 Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.
ta no saan ket amangan no ibabainnakanto ti makangngeg ket mangiwarasto iti saan a nasayaat a maipanggep kenka ket saanto dayta a mapasardeng.
11 A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.
Ti panangibaga iti nasasayaat a sao ket kas iti balitok a naikabil iti pirak.
12 Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention.
Ti nasirib a panangtubngar iti maysa a dumdumngeg ket kasla balitok a singsing wenno alahas a naaramid manipud iti kapipintasan a balitok.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.
Ti napudno a mensahero ket mangipapaay iti nasayaat a rikna iti nangibaon kenkuana a kas iti lammiis ti niebe iti tiempo ti panagaapit.
14 As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given.
Kas kadagiti ulep ken angin nga awan tudona ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangipaspasindayag iti sagut a saanna met kadi nga ited.
15 A judge is moved by one who for a long time undergoes wrongs without protest, and by a soft tongue even bone is broken.
Babaen iti kinaanus, mabalinka a makaallukoy iti turay, ken ti nalukneng a dila ket arigna a mabalin a makatukkol iti tulang.
16 If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down.
No makasarakka iti diro, manganka laeng iti apagisu-ta no mapalalluam, isarwamto met laeng.
17 Let not your foot be frequently in your neighbour's house, or he may get tired of you, and his feeling be turned to hate.
Saanmo a kanayon nga ibaddek ta sakam iti balay ti kaarrubam ta amangan no mauma kenka ket guraennaka.
18 One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow.
Ti tao a mangibagbaga iti palso a pammaneknek maibusor iti karrubana ket kasla igam a mausar iti gubat, wenno maysa a kampilan, wenno maysa a natirad a pana.
19 Putting one's faith in a false man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a shaking foot.
Ti saan a napudno a tao a pagtaltalkam iti tiempo pannakariribuk ket arigna ti nadadael a ngipen wenno saka a maikagkaglis.
20 Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart.
Ti tao nga ikankantaanna ti maysa a tao a nadagsen ti riknana ket kasla tay tao a mangus-ussob iti kawesna iti tiempo ti lammin, wenno kasla suka a naibukbok iti sugat.
21 If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water:
No mabisbisin ti kabusormo, ikkam isuna iti taraon a kanenna, ken no mawaw isuna, ikkam iti danum nga inumenna,
22 For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward.
ta arigna a mangpalaka kadagiti beggang nga ikabilmo ti ulona, ket gunggunaannakanto ni Yahweh.
23 As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.
Ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangpaunget kadagiti tattao ket kas iti angin manipud iti amianan a sigurado a mangiyeg iti tudo.
24 It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house.
Nasaysayaat ti agnaed iti suli ti tuktok ti balay ngem ti makikabbalay iti babai a mannakiapa.
25 As cold water to a tired soul, so is good news from a far country.
Ti pakaiyarigan ti nasayaat a damag manipud iti adayo a pagilian ket kas iti nalammiis a danum iti tao a mawaw.
26 Like a troubled fountain and a dirty spring, is an upright man who has to give way before evil-doers.
Ti naimbag a tao nga agdiwerdiwer iti sangoanan dagiti nadangkes a tattao ket kas iti saan a mapagnumaran nga ubbog wenno nadadael a burayok.
27 It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.
Saan a nasayaat ti mangan iti adu unay a diro; dayta ket kasla panangbirbirok iti adu a pakaitan-okan.
28 He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.
Ti tao nga awanan panagteppel ket maiyarig iti siudad a nadadael ken awan paderna.
