Proverbs 26
1 Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish.
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 and the swallow in her flight, so the curse does not come without a cause.
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 mouth-bit for the ass, and a rod for the back of the foolish.
Ti baut ket para iti kabalio, ti busal ket para iti asno ken ti kayo a pagbaut ket para kadagiti maag.
4 Do not give to the foolish man a foolish answer, or you will be like him.
Saanmo a sungsungbatan ken danggayan ti maag iti kinamaagna, ta no aramidem dayta ket agbalinka a kas kenkuana.
5 Give a foolish man a foolish answer, or he will seem wise to himself.
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 news by the hand of a foolish man is cutting off his feet and drinking in damage.
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 one who has no power of walking are hanging loose; so is a wise saying in the mouth of the foolish.
Dagiti agbitbitin a saka ti maysa a paralitiko ket maiyarig iti maysa a proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
8 Giving honour to a foolish man is like attempting to keep a stone fixed in a cord.
Ti panangigalut iti bato iti maysa a palsiit ket kapada ti panangpadayaw iti maysa a maag.
9 Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a man overcome by drink, so is a wise saying in the mouth of a foolish man.
Ti sisiit nga igi-iggem ti maysa a nabartek ket kasla proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
10 Like an archer wounding all who go by, is a foolish man overcome by drink.
Ti pumapana a mangsugsugat iti uray siasinoman ket kasla tay tao a mangtangtangdan iti maag wenno uray siasinoman a lumabas.
11 Like a dog going back to the food which he has not been able to keep down, is the foolish man doing his foolish acts over again.
Aso a mangdildilpat iti sarwana ti pakaiyarigan ti maysa a maag a mangulit-ulit iti minamaag nga aramidna.
12 Have you seen a man who seems to himself to be wise? There is more hope for the foolish than for 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 hater of work 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 A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed.
Ti panagpusipos ti ridaw iti bisagrana ti pakaiyarigan ti panagbalibalikid ti nasadut a tao iti pagid-iddaanna.
15 The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him.
Ti sadut a tao ket ikabilna ti imana iti pinggan, ngem saanna man laeng a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
16 The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.
Iti panagkita ti maysa a sadut a tao ket nasirsirib isuna ngem iti pito a lallaki nga addaan iti kinatimbeng.
17 He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.
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 one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death,
Agmauyong a tao a mangibibiat iti umap-apuy a pana
19 So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport?
ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangal-allilaw iti karrubana sana kuna, “Agang-angawak laeng!”
20 Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.
Ta no awan ti kayo, maiddep ti apuy, ken no awan ti manangperdi iti padana a tao, agsardeng ti panagaapa.
21 Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.
Uging a bumegbeggang ken kayo nga agapuy ti kaiyarigan ti mannakiapa a tao a mangpakaro iti panagririri.
22 The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach.
Dagiti sasao a pammadpadakes ket maiyarig iti sangkasakmol a naimas a makan; umunegda iti kaunggan a paset ti bagi.
23 Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste.
Ti pirak a naikalupkop iti banga ket kasla umap-apuy a bibig ken dakes a panagpuspuso.
24 With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him;
Ti siasinoman a gumurgura iti dadduma ket kalkalubanna ti riknana babaen kadagiti ibagbagana, ken ur-urnongenna ti kinaulbodna iti kaungganna.
25 When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils:
Agsao isuna iti nasayaat, ngem saanmo a patpatien isuna, ta adda pito a makarimon iti pusona.
26 Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people.
Uray no ti gurana ket nakaluban iti panangallilaw, maammoanto ti sangkagimongan ti kinadangkesna.
27 He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again.
Ti siasinoman a mangkali iti abut ket matnag iti daytoy, ken agtulid nga agsubli ti bato iti siasinoman a nangiduron iti daytoy.
28 A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling.
Kagurgura ti ulbod a dila dagiti tattao nga irurrurumenna, ken mangipapaay iti pannakadadael ti manangpatiray-ok a ngiwat.
